Billy Goat Tavern

What people say, in short
Billy Goat receives breakfast recommendations at several Chicago locations, including the original on Lower Michigan. Breakfast sandwiches earn praise, and one diner prefers its sausage, egg and cheese to a fast-food alternative. Another likes the option but considers it slightly above a cheap-breakfast budget. Those citywide sandwich opinions are not all experiences at the Lower Michigan restaurant.
