5 people recommendvia r/chicagofood6 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Beard & Belly's biscuits and gravy attract breakfast recommendations, including one diner's praise for thick, savory sausage gravy. Another usually orders a casserole built around the dish. A mixed visitor likes the meals, atmosphere and patio but finds the service slow. The appeal is strongest for those specific comfort-food orders rather than a promise of a fast brunch.
