Warm donut holes greet every guest at this family-run West Loop diner—the legendary first stop on Route 66 since the Mother Road opened in 1926. Founded by William Mitchell in 1923 and still run by the Thanas family, Lou Mitchell's serves jumbo omelets made with hand-sorted double-yolk eggs, freshly baked pastries, and a complimentary scoop of ice cream after every breakfast.
