Recommendations

"A triple-decker wedge of red velvet cake sates all the sweet-loving guests."
"Deli staples like matzo-ball soup shouldn't be missed."
"From the shakes to the towering red velvet cake, Eleven City only serves the most decadent (and enormous) desserts."
"Just the sight of a straw in a tall glass filled with ice cream is enough to take anyone back to their childhood. Brad Rubin clearly peddles in memories. At his Eleven City Diner in the South Loop, he mashes up Jewish nostalgia with diner lore."
"Where to Take Visiting Friends to Eat & Drink: Eleven City Diner - Shakes, malts and banana splits, Eleven City only serves the most decadent (and enormous) desserts."
"Owner Brad Rubin scoured the country to research this Jewish deli/diner. His pastrami is tender, fatty and full of flavor."
"Deli staples like pastrami and corned-beef sandwiches shouldn't be missed."
"We had our heart set on a slice of triple layer red velvet cake. The cake was so light and fluffy and the cream cheese frosting was rich but not overly sweet. In all honesty, it was the best red velvet cake I've probably ever had."
"Speaking of desserts that are red, it doesn't get any better than the red velvet cake at Eleven City Diner. This is the best red velvet cake in Chicago, with more red than a scene from Jaws. No bells and whistles required, just a solid slice of dense, hefty red cake pimped out with mercilessly rich frosting."
"Be sure to save room for a hefty slice of red-velvet cake."
