Brunch Restaurants in Chicago, IL

“Wildberry Pancakes and Cafe has got to hands down be the best food I have had in my 32 years of life. We just got home from a girls trip for my daughter's golden birthday in Chicago this past weekend and I'm ready to hit the road to go back. She ordered the kids Oreo s'mores pancakes of the kid menu. I got the 2 eggs meal which came with 2 eggs, hash browns, choice of meat (got sausage links) and either toast or pancakes. I chose toast. We then ordered her 2 dippy eggs, a side of biscuits and gravy, and got a side of bacon to share. The biscuits and gravy are hands down top tier the best recipe I have ever tasted (I ended up ordering 2 more sides to take home so I would have breakfast tomorrow 🤤). Even after stuffing ourselves with this delicious food none of our group felt miserable in any way. there was no belly discomfort whatsoever. We just felt full and nourished. I will be coming back as often as I can. The food is so hot, so fresh, so flavorful, and overall it was a wonderful experience. Everybody was so friendly , smiley, and just warm personalities. There is quite a wait on Sundays (not sure about other days) but I would wait 4 hours if they told me I had to. They do have an option where you can get on the waiting list online (we did not know that since this was out first time). Now let's talk about their preserves they make in house 🫠🫠 they make a triple berry compote with blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries. It was literal heaven. They sell jars as you are leaving for $11. Guys you have to try this place. I'm not usually someone who leaves reviews but it's so good I can't not leave one. If you want the best brunch food you have ever had in your life I can promise you you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Until next time wildberry keep doing what you guys do!“

“I came here for my birthday breakfast on a Monday with my son and had the best meal ever! The sorullitos are AMAZING and the Coquito latte is something I will drive 30 mins back just to have it again. I had the yuca pork skillet and it was incredible. 10/10! It's chill, laid back, and great food. It was exactly what we were looking for!

Bella is also so sweet and kind. I loved hearing their story of the family owned business and wish them nothing but success!“

“Pauline’s is one of Chicago’s beloved neighborhood breakfast institutions, where generous portions, warm hospitality, and classic American comfort food have kept locals coming back for years. From fluffy pancakes and hearty omelets to their famous Pauline’s potatoes, every meal is made to satisfy. With its charming, eclectic atmosphere and welcoming, family owned feel, Pauline’s proves that great breakfasts are about more than just the food they’re about creating a place that feels like home. ☕🥞🍳“

“I liked almost everything about Egg Harbor Cafe until I heard Stephanie who was there for 9 years had left the company. How do lose such an awesome employee like her? It's beyond my comprehension. Our DG Breakfast Group has moved to The Baked Apple Breakfast Co. Our group numbers 7! Big mistake!!!“

“Good food, highly recommend“

“It’s my go to breakfast nook when I’m in town. They never disappoint……. Reserve your table whenever you know you’re going during peak times.“

“Food was actually great, but it took 20 minutes to order. So if you don't mind getting ignored, this is the place to go.
Update: Went back the next day (as I mentioned before food was actually not bad at all). We were seated in the different section, by the windows this time. And our waitress, Nora, was awesome and very accommodating and attentive. So I guess give it a chance. Food was equally good the second time too.“

“I came here on a Wednesday morning with my friend! I ordered the BLT club sandwhich, it was amazing and super tasty with crispy fries! Our server Roberto attended us well and made great conversation. We plan to come back for the amazing food and service!“

“Great food n service loved it😋“

“I just love this place! Just a nice vibe, great friendly staff, and super delicious food! The Almuerzo Francés keeps me addicted; it's so simple but it's perfection! Can't wait for summer to have it on the patio!“
