Alexander’s in Edgewater has the rare distinction of being featured on The Bear, but the Greek diner doesn’t let fame go to its head. It has classics you’d expect, including the “Alexander’s Special” that’s more or less a ham and egg scramble. You’re here for comfort, and this neighborhood spot offers heavy doses of it—whether it’s the sight of the staff fist-bumping regulars on their way out or the sounds of “Come and Get Your Love” playing as a stack of fluffy pancakes plops down onto your table. And if you don’t live in Edgewater, you can get a similar experience at their much younger location in Lincoln Square.
