Ritter’s Breakfast Delivery

Been ordering from Ritters for several years now.
My favorite– the fritatas with a side of sausage/​bacon. And they will bring you a newspaper and latt. Yes, servings tend to be on the smaller side and it is a bit pricey. But they’ve cornered the market on breakfast delivery.
What it comes down to is, you’re hung over and Ritters is doing you the hugest favor by making your breakfast and delivering it to you. Stay in you pajamas & Enjoy.

I have been ordering and recommending Ritters since they opened, and have never had a bad experience. I checked their website to order catering for a business meeting, and it says they’re closed until further notice! Nooo!!! I hope not forever, because it is perfect when you need to eat and too lazy/​hungover to leave the house.

There was some kind of problem with our online order, and delivery took an hour.
The food is some of the worst I’ve ever had. The hash brown frittata tasted like something you would buy frozen, no seasoning or anything. The french toast was by far the worst I’ve ever had in my life, it was some kind of sweatened bread but wasn’t actually french toast, I don’t know how to describe it. The stuffed croissant was not bad but cold. The eggs started out lukewarm then went cold immediately. Also the portion sizes were small.

I ordered Ritter’s on a very chilly Friday morning with no food in the house whatsoever. So for that reason, I was fine with the premium prices, but would not order it on a regular basis.
My delivery was pretty timely — maybe 20 – 30 minutes. My mocha was perfectly hot, though my croissant sandwich was lukewarm. It was good-​sized, though, and all I needed for breakfast.
I guess you should view Ritter’s as a good option if you are too lazy /​tired /​uninterested in leaving your house for breakfast, and still want to eat something you didn’t cook. :) There are a few drawbacks to that — higher prices, limited options (who else delivers breakfast?), and the fact that keeping eggs hot for longer than 10 minutes is probably not that easy. So it’s a trade off. I was pretty happy with my food, but it’s more the delivery and convenience that I paid for. And I’m ok with that — just not on a regular basis.

Like Lindsey S, I too had high hopes for this place and was really disappointed. My food took an hour (not a ½ hr as promised — in several places — on the web site) and was almost cold. Had to reheat everything in the microwave, including my coffee. Of course, egg dishes do not do very well when nuked for even just a minute, so my frittata was almost inedible.
In their defense, I did order at 9am on a chilly Saturday, so maybe they were just slammed. Still, how hard is it to put food in those stay-​hot delivery bags? Also, way overpriced for the quality!

I was so excited to find this place because there’s nothing I like better the morning after a night of partying than a tasty breakfast, and the thought of not having to leave the comfort of my own home to get it — well that just sealed the deal. I was, however, really disappointed with Ritter’s. First off, their menu is really limited; there were only about five options to choose from. Secondly, it took almost an hour for my meal to arrive and I only live a few blocks away. Third, they are ridiculously expensive. For a fritatta and a bottled water (which I had to order to reach the minimum dollar amount) plus the delivery fee and tip it was about $ 20! I think I might have been semi-​okay with the exorbitant price if the food was better, but honestly it was just so-​so. Not bad, just boring and kind of bland and the ingredients definitely were not very good quality. Plus it was only luke warm when it arrived. I would not recommend this place and I will never order from them again. A HUGE rip off.

Personally, I love the idea and execution of this place.
The Quiche Lorraine is absolutely one of the best in the city and from a delivery place? Please. I would take it 100 times over standing in line at Orange or the Bongo Room.
I have never strayed from the Quiche, but stick with that and you’ll be OK.

Can you give a negative star (s)? Let’s face it, on a day that you actually need to have breakfast delivered to you, it needs to be terrific. This delivery was the antithesis of this, it was TERRIBLE. I needed good eggs, bacon, fruit salad. It was overpriced and cold. Not only that the way it was served was so un-​appetizing. Even if you are so hungover and feel like you need food in your tummy ASAP, you are better served to wait in line because you will not be able to eat even one bite. It is the WORST food that I have EVER eaten in chicago — even the prospect of getting e. coli from Taco Bell is a better prospect than this food. I have no idea why there are so many positive ratings on this place.

I give Ritter’s 2 stars for awesome customer service, fast delivery and friendly delivery-​person, and for being the only place I know of that delivers gourmet breakfast food. It’s nice to know that the option is out there.
However, I was not too impressed with the hashbrown frittata I ordered. It was made with hashbrowns, eggs, cheese, and sausage (sounds amazing, yes?)…but when it arrived, it was almost cold. So I warmed it up but it still was not that special. And for almost 20 dollars (small OJ included) I do NOT think it’s worth it.
I would definitely give Ritter’s another shot, but only if someone else is paying.

Pros: excellent idea. Fast delivery, hot food, pleasant order process and customer service. I like their pastries, pancakes and omelettes.
Cons: overpriced. They might consider reducing the size of the dishes and the prices accordingly. My delivery hipster looked stoned, though this could be diverting for some.
Overall: Ideal for hangovers and new lovers.

just ordered this for the first time on sunday morning and it was fabulous. and what a great idea!
i have to say that i ordered the breakfast pizza and it was the worst of the 3 things that we ordered. my roommate had the hash brown frittata and it was divine. the croissant sandwich that my boyfriend ordered was also amazing-​he thought so too and he is hard to impress. my only complaint about the pizza was that it was a little dry-​the eggs that were on it were hard boiled and i think that some form of scrambled would have been better. the croissants by themselves are also AMAZING, huge, and only $ 1.50. all in all-​a good situation!

There has never been a more genius idea than delivery breakfast. There is nothing better than getting breakfast delivered to your door the morning after a long night of drinking.
Suggestion: try the Southwest Breakfast Burrito or the Hashbrown Fritatta!

Craving breakfast but too lazy to get out of bed? Pick up the phone and deliver a great breakfast from Ritter’s. They go beyond the greasy egg sandwich to wonderful breakfast entrees, such as quiches and stuffed croissants. Delivery is prompt and the food arrives hot and fresh.

French Toast, Quiche, and flowers in bed!?! I love Ritters. Breakfast delivery is the best thing ever!

This place is amazing. They deliver your breakfast to you! This is great for a lazy morning when you don’t feel like doing anything. Nothing beats a delicious breakfast in bed!

I am so glad I found this place! It delivers breakfast to your doorstep… if your too hung over to pick up breakfast, or even cook your own you can just have it delivered to your front door! Can’t beat that!

Soo perfect for the morning after you drink and want breakfast! They have such a wide assortment of food and they’ll even bring you flowers or a newspaper! The service is available in Lincoln Park, Bucktown, Wicker Park, Ukrainian Village and the West Loop neighborhoods!
