The "Pick Me Up" is a Let-Down - Edit
I've never been impressed by this place... the food is mediocre, typical "burger and fries" kind of fare. Also, every time I've been there, the place was filled with cigarette smoke which is absolutely disgusting to me and completely counters the idea of having a healthy meal. (Granted, the city ordinance against smoking may have put an end to this... it's been a while since I've bothered to go there). However, if you don't like the greasy spoon/bar atmosphere, definitely don't go to the Pick Me Up. If you're looking to extend your night of bar hopping with a late night snack, on the other hand, this is probably right up your alley.

This is where you go late night after a show - Edit
Its fun to hit up Pick Me Up after seeing a concert on a Friday or Sat night. It always seems to have a good crowd and friendly staff. There are decent vegan options and a bunch of vegan desserts.

french toast! - Edit
I am in Chicago for the weekend and decided to stop at as many vegan friendly places as possible. Last night my husband and I stopped the Pick Me Up Cafe in which I ordered the vegan french toast. It was GREAT!!! At first I was weary about ordering it because it was rather pricey, but the portion size was enormous, leaving enough for the next morning's breakfast. They even included a side of vegan butter.

Cons: a tad pricey
