Ann Sather Restaurant

Ann Sather's is a Chicago restaurant with locations in Lakeview, Chicago[1] and since 2012, a location in Edgewater, Chicago.[2]

Serving Swedish cuisine, Ann Sather opened the eponymous restaurant in 1945. When Sather retired in 1981, she sold the restaurant to Tom Tunney, a 24 year old graduate of Cornell University School of Hotel Administration.[3] Open for breakfast and lunch, they are famous for their cinnamon rolls.[4] Jeff Mauro calls them insane.[1] Tunney is credited with expanding the menu "to include the most famous breakfast in town.".[2] They are also known for their potato sausage and Swedish Pancakes.[2]

In 2019, Tunney made a deal with Tim Glascott for the Belmont Avenue location that will last for at least ten years, under a sale/lease back arrangement.[5]

In 2021, they were fined $2000 for violating indoor dining restrictions due to COVID.[6]

The restaurant appeared on The Best Thing I Ever Ate episode “Wake-up Call” where Ted Allen discussed the cinnamon roll.[7]
