Hi to all, Hank here! Well we have gotten back on the Avenue again and are finally visiting places to eat. On Sunday we went to brunch at Jacks on Halsted. Now I know the name says it is on Halsted but honestly it is on the corner and has many windows on Belmont. The address is 3201 N. Halsted. The brunch menu is full of good breakfast items. A lot of standards like eggs with bacon or ham, breakfast potatoes, and there are classic eggs benedict and omelets. There are also lunch items like burgers and steaks. I had a Jack's burger which consisted of a burger topped with pulled pork , white cheddar cheese, and jalepenos. Boy, was it good! The fries were done just right. We went at 11:30 on Sunday and it was not very crowded. I would go back to this restaurant so I could try a few more breakfast items. Elyse had an omelet and I will let her tell you about her experience.

Hi, Elyse here! I started my brunch off with a delicious peach mimosa, and they had some other fun flavors like pear and mango. Best part, only $3! Bloody Mary's were just a dollar more. I had a very fresh and tasty omelet with spinach, tomatoes and mozzarella, it came with roasted potatoes with onions (delish!), marble rye toast, fresh fruit. It was perfectly cooked, not runny, and I liked it quite a bit. The omelet was $8.95, and was higher quality than standard diner omelets (like the Melrose, for example). Orange infused French toast was my second brunch choice, I can't wait to go back and try it. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was upscale and not noisy. Plentiful pay for street parking in the area, too. They also have brunch on Saturday, although the menu looked a bit more limited. Try it, you'll like it!
