'Cozy' Andersonville Diner Filling Vacant Trotter's To Go Space on Fullerton
A new breakfast and lunch diner is settling in soon to a space near the DePaul University campus that's been vacant since last summer.
An Andersonville staple is adding a second location on Fullerton Avenue, not far from the DePaul University campus.
Pauline's will soon be settling in at 1337 W. Fullerton Ave., in the former Trotter's To Go carryout space. It's adjacent to LA Tan and across the street from Lakeshore Sport and Fitness.
Touting the mantra "Andersonville's coziest diner," the eatery has been open for about 17 years, according to the business' website. Known for its breakfast, the restaurant also serves up lunch and is open 365 days a year until 3 p.m.

"Pauline’s is an authentic neighborhood diner serving American comfort food classics," the site says. "Enjoy our five-egg omelets, pancakes, benedicts, biscuits and gravy, burgers, soup, sandwiches, and salads."
The windows to the Fullerton Avenue storefront were covered in brown paper Tuesday evening, but a "Pauline's Coming Soon" sign in the window let passersby know what's to come.

A menu for the eatery—identical to that of the Andersonville venue—was also displayed.
Trotter's To Go shuttered last July. It was an offshoot of Charlie Trotter's in Lincoln Park, which closed Aug. 31, 2013. Chef and owner Charlie Trotter says he's taking a hiatus from cooking to travel and pursue his education.
