5 Loaves Eatery

A cornerstone of Chicago's South Side culinary scene, 5 Loaves Eatery is a family-friendly beacon that specializes in daytime dining—from breakfast through lunch. The ethos behind the restaurant is one of faith, community and the cathartic experience of breaking bread with neighbors. The menus reflect that sense of warmth, with hearty omelettes, stacks of pancakes and some of the tastiest fried chicken in town. A word to the wise: Don't skip the destination-worthy salmon croquettes or the crispy catfish nuggets.
