Uncle Mike's Place

Super GemWest Town · Filipino Community-sourced, unverified
📍 1700 W Grand Ave, Chicago, IL 60622

Uncle Mike's Place opened as a standard American diner in 1991, then added a Filipino breakfast menu in 2008 after owner Mike Grajewski's mother-in-law -- who'd cooked for the family for years -- shared her own recipes.

The skirt steak is the reason for dinner, and the Filipino breakfast is the reason to come back the next morning.

Every table gets a free bowl of lugaw rice porridge to start, a real house tradition, and longanisa and bangus are what regulars order specifically.
