Bacon and jam was a very nice place to have breakfast. They had a very high quality of food and of food and a nice variety of food. The staff was very kind and friendly. While it did while we did go on a Saturday which I imagine is their busiest day of the week a week, I found That they do not have enough parking.. I also wish they had a handicap spot a handicap spot. Other than that the food was great, the staff was great.

Great food and service, and extremely clean, it's got a very good ambience, not dark like the other restaurants plenty of natural light, will really give you a positive spirit. I ordered the corned beef hash with 2 eggs and it was perfect, cooked just right and they don't over season it, you will get to do the seasoning. The coffee was amazing, didn't even need creamer or sugar. My son also enjoyed the experience, the server Valerie gave him crayons and a coloring sheet. Valerie had a positive attitude with a smile. Kathy was also excellent, she works the cash counter and is very proactive and attended to all our requests. As a brown guy, I thank them for treating my son and I like human beings and not being racist which sometimes i get. I will continue to support this well run establishment with people of impeccable character, thank you for a great experience guys, and the food was cheap just 12 bucks for my son and i, without the drinks of course, so you can tip generously! Only one thing , please be careful of the pothole on one of the entrances.

My wife and I found a hidden "gem" for breakfast in the Chicago neighborhood called Mt Greenwood. I had the corned beef hash with "real" rye toast (not marble rye), and my wife had the country skillet including 2 pancakes. The portions are so large, we finished these meals at dinner (later in the day). Our host was exceptional, and the entire restaurant atmosphere was warm and inviting. I highly recommend Bacon and Jam...

I was over this way taking care of business and someone recommended this spot. Omg-super delicious. Our server Valerie was so nice and recommended the jalapeno cheddar soup! It was absolutely delicious along with everything else. What a gem I’m Mt Greenwood !

First time we try this place and it's one of the best breakfast spots we've been too. As soon as you step in are welcomed by a very friendly staff. We got seated right away as well. The coffee here is the best coffee I've had in any place, it's super fresh! We even bought a bag of it to go! For my son we got his favorite pancakes with chocolate chips and sprinkles with whipped cream. My wife got herself the steak skillet and it was really good and fresh. I got myself the BUTCHER skillet, with bacon and sausage it was awesome and I enjoyed it all. I highly recommend this place to everyone!!! Even if it's just for a cup of coffee it's worth every penny:) thank u BACON AND JAM!!!
