Enjoying brunch at Ed Debevic’s, Chicago’s most famous retro-themed diner. Ed Debevic’s was opened in 1984 and is famously known for its snarky service and 1950s throwback decor. Quirky servers do choreographed dance numbers on the soda counters in flashy costumes, serve up great burgers, jumbo wieners, cheese fries, huge salads, milkshakes, and ice cream sundaes with a side order of sass.
