The sausage were cut into tiny pieces instead of crumbled sausage. The biscuits were to big for the little gravy given. It was good while it lasted!!!!“

“Best breakfast spot in the Chicagoland area! Great food, excellent service from top to bottom, highly recommend! However, this place is a packed house on the weekends! Be sure to join the wait-list on Yelp or you'll be waiting over an hour for a table. Yea...it's THAT good! Kinda loud in the dining area, but that's to be expected when every single table is full from open to close.“

“(2025) Brunch Cafe - Addison, IL I recently had the pleasure of dining at Brunch Cafe in Addison, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! Our waitress, Febe, provided EXCELLENT service—she was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was amazing, coming out hot and fresh, just as we hoped. From the fluffy pancakes to the savory breakfast burrito, every dish was delicious and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. In my opinion, this restaurant should be rated #1 in Addison, IL for breakfast. No other place comes close to the quality and service we experienced here. Highly recommend! (2024) How ever long is your wait is please wait. It’s definitely worth the wait. Their food is absolutely delicious and our waitress was professional + friendly. Carrot cake pancakes are my new favorite.“

“I came here excited to try the egg sandwich, my card had an error on it. it did not work. The guy in the register Bruno, He was super nice, we were having a conversation and he decided to pay for my food because my card wasn’t working, he payed for my food with his own personal card. That touched my heart usually people just say like oh come back another time but not egg tuck. He was super nice. He added a smile in my face. Other than the 10/10 customer service, the food was so good! I devoured it in 5 minutes!!“

“This place is amazing! The owners treat you like you are family, the service is impeccable, and the food- wow, the food! More places need to be like this.“

“It's a decent breakfast place. Portions are good but it's not cheap. Also I feel like the quality of their food has gone down noticeably since I first went there three years ago, my Mom doesn't want to go here anymore. It's still good enough, but Hen House of Wheaton is down the road and their food is WAY better. But also way more pricey. It's in this weird place where it's not cheap enough for me to want it as a budget option, but the food isn't quite good enough for me to want to have brunch with my parents.“

“Good service and food at a reasonable price“

“Stefanie is awesome! The whole staff is positive.“

“Grew up in the area, great memories! Nice to know they are still in business. Used to work Nextdoor at White Hen Pantry, 1969 - 72“

“We had an absolutely wonderful brunch at The White Sheep in Naperville. Four friends catching up, and honestly, we couldn’t have chosen a better place. The food was outstanding — we shared the Eggs Benedict and the steak chilaquiles, and both were 100% recommendable. Portions are very generous; we shared everything and still had leftovers.

The lattes were also excellent, especially the tiramisu latte, the chai latte, and the classic latte.

Our server, Tania, was fantastic — attentive, kind, and perfectly balanced: always there when we needed something, but never hovering.

The atmosphere is beautiful: lots of natural light, cozy holiday décor, and a calm, welcoming vibe. What truly made the experience special is that we stayed for almost three hours enjoying each other’s company and never once felt rushed. We weren’t even given the check until we asked for it. That level of hospitality is everything for gatherings like this. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Went for a birthday brunch with family and had a stellar experience. The owners and our server were all super attentive and friendly. Our food was delicious. I had the country fried steak with sausage gravy, biscuit, scrambled eggs and hash browns. It was so good, I hardly paid attention to what anyone else ordered. But everyone was extremely happy with what they got. We were surprised with a lovely birthday cake after we finished our meal. The owners and our server sang happy birthday and treated each of us to a slice. We were wowed! I live in Naperville and will definitely make this place a destination in the future.“

“Delicious food! Fast and friendly service!“

“Great atmosphere. Great and friendly service. What really disappoints me, it is the fact, the employees don't have any sense of urgency. The managers do, I can see them going here and there while the actual crew is standing doing barely nothing with a cup on their hands lying over the counters.“

“It was our first time there, the food was delicious and our waitress was amazing!“

“If only my stomach can fit one of each food from every category, then I'd give you a full review. However, just something as simple as their breakfast burrito was spectacular. 8.5 outta 10“

“This was a great place to eat! We tried it yesterday, during our trip, and were throughly pleased with it all. The restaurant looks great, service was fast, and the food was delicious. I’d recommend this to others.“

“I have now been to Juicy-O twice to meet with my mom for lunch, and each time has been a delightful experience. I discovered the charred beef tips breakfast meal the first time and now I am addicted. I had to order it again the second time I came and it was just as good. The coffee was tasty and replenished often. The service was excellent with friendly staff that were very attentive. Is it wrong I am already looking forward to my next time visiting Juicy-O? Maybe I will actually try something different next time? Odds are 50-50. 👍😁“

“I stopped by this pancake spot to pass some time before the mall opened, and I'm so glad I did! The food was absolutely delicious, and the coffee was just as good. The entire staff was warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The place was clean and welcoming.

Our server, Abraham, was especially wonderful. He was incredibly patient with my kids and handled a few small special requests for their meals without hesitation. He truly went above and beyond, and everything came out exactly the way we ordered it.

We tried a variety of dishes, including the skillets, pancakes, French toast, and soup and every single item was amazing. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. We'll definitely be back!“

“Great food great atmosphere great service once they replaced the well done bacon which they happily did love this place and will be back cinnamon roll French toast highly recommend!!“

“This place is absolutely bonkers. Went on the weekend for late brunch. It was packed and had a long wait time but it was worth it. The staff is really polite kind and helpful. They make changes if needed. Very accommodating. The food itself is really amazing. We got the skillets, pancakes and french toast. They were all delicious! And huge portion size. Pretty decent priced, even though it's a bit on the higher end. Limited parking depending what time of the day you come in. Definitely recommended for a good family/friends breakfast.“

“Delicious 🤤 and the service was great!“

“We were in town for a basketball tournament, with a group of 22, and their staff accommodated our entire group! From the hostess, to our waitress, to whom I believe was the manager (tall gentleman), they were fantastic! The food, was delicious!!! Serving sizes were generous and their drinks were great as well. If we are ever back in town, we will return!“

“Great staff, wonderful food, calming atmosphere at Bloomingdale location. Love their senior specials and their oatmeal with fruit. Plenty of lot parking and handicap spaces. Entrance doors must push open. Plenty of room for wheelchairs at tables and in restrooms.“

“Mario was awesome!!! We will go see him again!!“

“We had a great experience here! Even though there was only one waitress working when we arrived (about an hour and a half before closing), service was still quick and friendly. The food came out hot, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Our waitress was thoughtful enough to let us know the salsa had some heat, and even offered to put it on the side. It was definitely spicy but so tasty, and I ended up adding it to my dish anyway.

Overall, we really enjoyed both the food and service, and I’d definitely come back the next time I’m in town.“

“Hannah S was an amazing server! From the moment we sat down she was so inviting and friendly. She gave us suggestions about the menu and even let my husband taste the gravy for biscuits and gravy before he ordered. She was fabulous. What a great start to the day!“

“I had a very long day at work and I came to this Ihop and this food was very good and my service was amazing! My server was Ariceli and she was very attentive and checked up on me and had positive attitude. I can’t wait to go back to this IHOP.“
