What people say, in short
Sckavone's on Division is recommended for an old-school breakfast, with several diners pointing to biscuits and gravy. One visitor describes biscuits that worked particularly well with the gravy, and another praises chicken and waffles. Repeat commenters like it partly because it is not usually crowded. Dissent remains: one commenter questions why it is recommended at all, while another offers only a lukewarm suggestion. The positive breakfast accounts do not make it a universally favored choice.
