“I went to Mapleberry for the first time in 10+ years. I had the 2x2+ and a double shot of espresso. the 2x2+ was 2 pancakes with glazed apple, 2 sausage links, and 2 strips of bacon. The food was delicious. The espresso was nice and strong. The service was amazing. I got my food not even 1 minute after I got my espresso. My waitress was very efficient and very friendly. I talked to the owner and she was a blast to talk to. I highly recommend this place for breakfast.“

“Been going here for over 10 years. & For my 99% request (large B&G, over easy eggs, side of link sausage and pancakes) it has been the best.. ???.. went off rail Sunday... I tried the Country Fried Steak skillet.. the bacon was burnt, the cfs tasted off.. Got the same feedback from other guests in my party. So here it can be a mixed bag. Order items that would require "made to order" ingredients, my guess.. Except the gravy.. it's gooooood.. ?“

“Great place, staff is friendly, food is great, service is great. Highly recommended!“

“Great food with great service. Don’t miss out on this family owned restaurant in Downers Grove. We love i!“

“Next level vegan breakfast! Usually you have to go into Chicago for the array of choices Lucky Penny Diner offers. I had a vegan Hawaiian omelet with vegan chorizo and Just Egg, a mung bean based egg substitute that is nearly indistinguishable from the real thing. My dish came with two sides: a choice of fruit or hash browns and french toast or pancakes. I opted for hash browns and pancakes which were both great. My husband got a Just Egg scramble with vegan sausage and french toast. Lucky Penny hit it out of the park on everything: food, service, even coffee refills. Another thing -- their portion sizes are generous and nobody leaves hungry. I had to actually take home half of my omelet and I ate PLENTY. They are tucked into the corner of a strip mall next to a smoke/vape shop. Whether you're vegan, gluten free, or just a regular person who eats everything, don't miss this place.“

“We were a party of 6 Adults sitting at a round table. We are all coffee drinkers. Our waiter was Attentive and very helpful at answering our various questions about the menu. The food arrived in a timely manner and every said that the Food was delicious.“

“Have been eagerly awaiting their opening and finally had a chance to stop in for lunch with my son. That staff is so friendly and the food is delicious. I had a blackened chicken wrap that came with a huge bowl of potato bacon soup and fries, and my son had the kids chicken tenders. We devoured everything and I'm looking forward to our next visit with the rest of the family.“

Dietary restrictions: Many gluten-free options.“

“I have been visiting this breakfast cafe for the past 7 years and it's always been delightful.

“delish food recommend if you are looking for cozy and sweet environment.“

“Was absolutely blown away by our excellent brunch experience here. Probably the best pancakes I’ve had at a brunch place and everyone I was with agreed. We ordered them as a side to our skillet but they were big enough and delicious enough to be a main. We also got the avocado chicken sandwich and the chicken was so tender and seasoned well. Biscuits were perfectly buttery and soft. Breakfast foods have a tendency to be greasy but we didn’t encounter that at all here. Everything tasted so homemade and fresh. They have such a big menu, I can’t wait to come back and try their other items.“

“Located in an outlook of Walmart in the old TGIF Restaurant location,this First Watch offers good food and great service. Been to other First Watch locations and the Bloomingdale location is better in my opinion.
Our server Marrissa was friendly and professional.

We went early on a Sunday morning and were seated immediately.

Started with hot coffee ( You get a whole lot for the table) and an iced tea with free refills.

My wife who is gluten free had the Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl with Italian sausage,Crimini mushrooms,tomatoes and kale. Big enough to bring half of it home.

I had the Bacado Omelet with sour dough bread and seasoned potatoes. Basically an omelet filled with crispy bacon,avocado and Monterey Jack cheese topped with sour cream and a side of Pico de Gallo. Since I like my eggs a little spicey,they have bottles of Cholula Hot sauce on each table..bonus!

We were lucky to have received a BOGO coupon for being a member of their First Watch club.

Open daily 7am to 230pm.

Definitely a good place to go for health minded breakfast and lunch options.“

“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.“

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!“

“Out of towners looking for some good brunch and super glad we picked this place out. The food and service was excellent and couldn’t have asked for a better restaurant.“

“9/2024 4* First time here. Décor was ok. But instead of flowers on the walls, how about upbeat breakfast pictures? Eggs, Chickens, something. Looks very outdated. Website is saying it is still coming. Been open 9 years and no website. Ugh! I reached down to move my chair and the bottom I grabbed was so much caked on grease I had to leave the table and go wash up. It was a gooey mess. The food was pretty good. Service was ok. Nobody in the restaurant for the first hour we were there. Then 8 more people did come during the second hour. It was a weekday morning so maybe all just late risers. Probably won’t be back.“

“Came for breakfast. Greeted and sat at the table immediately upon arrival. There are sooo many options on the menu. Great selections. They also gave the small donuts which were so good! I had an omelette and fruit which was good. Food came out quickly. Nice size omelette. I recommend and would 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.“

“Waitress wasn't attentive. So we only left a small tip. I'm sorry but good service gets a good tip.UPDATE: Manager contacted me to come back and they definitely made it right. Impeccable customer service and our waiter was fantastic. Thank you Laura! I'm sorry I forgot the waiter's name , but he was great! Will be my go to IHOP from now on.“

“Popped in after a long day of touristy things. The service was prompt and friendly, the food came out quickly and was delicious.

Definitely one of the best IHOPs I've ever eaten at!

Kid-friendliness: Great kid's menu. Lots of options to pick from and kiddo absolutely devoured her dinner.“
