We hadn't been here in awhile. I had the angry goat omelette and WOW was it delicious! A perfect balance of flavors. The whole grain toast was fine - only 2 flavors of jam, but the strawberry seemed homemade and was very good. Fruit was fine - what you'd expect (cantaloupe, grapes, pineapple, and honeydew). We both had the coffee which was great - I love that they leave the smaller carafe on the table. My husband had the Irish eggs Benedict and the country biscuits and gravy. He loves the biscuits and gravy, but didn't like the Benny as much. (He gets a similar one at a different restaurant, and prefers the way they cook the meat - also the egg yolk was not runny like you normally expect with eggs Benedict.) Service was fine - Kylie was friendly. She took a little while to greet us, and didn't check on us after delivering the food even though she walked past a couple times (I was eager to tell her how delicious the omelette was!) I love the chandelier and paint colors and high ceiling - I put 4 stars because we were hit with a rotten egg/rusty water smell right when we walked in.

This place should be packed. The food here is amazing and the portions are huge! Very accommodating and always have a smile on their faces. Do yourself a favor and try it.

I just hosted my sister's bridal shower 7/19/25 and everything went amazingly! From the coordination, preparation, staff, food, service and atmosphere! I can't rave about this place enough. I drive farther to eat at this location. Arturo manages this restaurant with such professionalism. His staff is kind, caring and hard working. Thank you to Rick and Amanda for all your hard work. We appreciate you all. Thank you for making core memories with our loved ones and making my sister's day special!

What a huge disappointment. Went there for my husbands birthday breakfast and waited an hour for our food only to be told it would be another 20 minutes because they were busy (which they were clearly not). We were expected to pay for our beverages and when we asked to speak to a manager, we were told he was too busy to speak to us. We left without eating and will never go back. What an unprofessional place.

The food at the Carpentersville location is good, but this review is specifically about our server, Kylie. She was the star of the show.
Kylie was authentic, not overbearing or fake happy (you know what I mean). She was calm and pleasant and helped us decide. I wish I could have someone like her help me every time I go out to eat.

Walked in on a Saturday morning with 5 adults and a baby needing a high chair. They got us set up right away! The place is big and even has a side room for bigger groups. Prices are competitive. PORTIONS ARE HUGE! I couldn't eat even 1/4 of my meal. Everything was delicious. Waitstaff fast, efficient, and friendly.

Always a pleasure to go and eat breakfast here. Flavorful food, friendly staff. Only reason for a 4 and was thinking a 3 was due to the restroom... turned right back around

I just placed a order through Grub Hub 3 large to go containers were in one bag Two were packed flat but one was on its side with the opening facing down. Upon opening the bag come to find out the order on its side completely fell out of container. Guess they need to teach there employees how to put things in bag. This really is no brainer
Richard R was personable and attentive despite how busy it was. Chorizo gravy was the best!

I ordered breakfast for lunch. This was through Grubhub. This is the second time I received an incorrect order. The Shrimp and Grits almost always on point. I didn't receive my full order and guy on the phone says I don't see your order. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!

Too crowded, not enough wait staff to handle the room. We got seated, but waited a very long time before the waiter came by. Seemed disjointed and unprepared. We left after 20 minutes of waiting and went across the street to Denny's, instead. It's unlikely we'll come back on a weekend.

Been ordering and dining in from this location for years. Only ever had a few bad experiences prior, all of which were remedied. But the food my family and I ordered today was unacceptable. Multiple offers of French toast lacking any and all maple syrup, either from lack there of or the fact that it was all over the inside of the bag itself due to the packaging leaking. The sunny side eggs that were ordered were dry and over cooked. The food that was supposed to come with bacon came with only a singular slice. The unporkingbelievable dish a regular and favorite of mine. Normally comes with barbecue pulled pork, pork belly fried, bacon, chorizo sausage gravy, and a light biscuit. What I received today was dry and chalky generic sausage gravy, wet and soggy pork belly, overcooked biscuit and has browns, and grainy chalky scrambled eggs. For the price I paid for this food we would expect restaurant quality food. But instead we received public school cafeteria grade.

Update as of 2 hours after eating here: family member ended up getting sick from the biscuits and gravy. We did a small family order from here through a delivery app. Unfortunately they refused to pick up the phone 4 minutes passed close as I called to complain about the order because it was absolutely putrid. Whatever sauce they put on the biscuits and gravy was so sour that I have a feeling it was made incorrectly or some milk went bad. We only received one tiny biscuit for a $15 meal that came with a small side. If this is the quality and quantity of all of your other food, you need to fix it before you go out of business.
