Pancakes in Chicago, IL

“Went in as a large group and treated ourselves to the most decadent breakfast of the year. The specials are a treat for the eye and taste amazing. Portions are extra large! Must visit when in Chicago. Service is very good. Location slightly of Michigan avenue means that you have to look for it. Advance booking is recommended as it is pretty crowded most of the time.“

“cash only, parking in the back, good service.“

“The Original Pancake House has become my absolute favorite breakfast spot in Chicago. The food is consistently incredible. The chocolate chip pancakes are a standout and honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. The portions are generous, and everything comes out fast without sacrificing quality.

It’s also a great spot for groups, which I really appreciate when friends or family are in town. They’re very accommodating and know how to handle larger parties smoothly. Sitting outside on the patio makes the experience even better.

I can’t recommend this place enough for breakfast! It’s reliable, high quality, and just an all-around great experience every time.“

“Food was good. Service was excellent and the wait after the orders didn't take long.“

“Very slow service at 9am on a Friday. Sure it wasn't crowded,but I digress. A guy in front of me gave his order (a crepe or 2),I gave my order of a crepe with Nutella and walnuts and a girl behind me ordered. 20 mins go by,a Doordash order goes out,the guy's food is done,the girl's food is done and I'm still waiting for some d*** old Wufel with Nutella that takes less than 5 mins with a can of pop! 20 friggin minutes! They were so dang slow. Do they like or want their job? Probably not. Love the food,not the service.“

“Very delicious food with large portions for a very fair price! Restaurant is clean and up to date, staff is very welcoming and friendly.“

“I got the chicken skillet. It was good. Tasted great & didn’t have to add any seasonings. My partner got an omelette, bacon, sausage, grits & toast breakfast. She on the other hand had to season her food. The sausage & bacon was not drained & it was sitting in grease in the to go box. Other than that this was the only issue. Customer service is great. The prices are decent & overall it’s a nice little “hole in the wall” restaurant.“

“I had such a great experience here 😊 The staff were incredibly welcoming, professional, and attentive from the moment I walked in 💛 My order arrived surprisingly fast, and everything was served fresh, hot, and full of flavor 🍽️🔥 You can really tell they care about quality and customer service. The meal was absolutely delicious, and I’ll definitely be coming back again soon 😋✨“

“I pass this place on the way to school & have been meaning to stop, well I'm glad that I finally did.
The Biscuits & Gravy are perfect.
Will make this my regular breakfast spot.
👍👍👍👍👍😋“

“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!“

“TUB O RANCH! Hello golden nugget, I love your chicken fingers dinner! Do me a favor and serve it with ranch not bbq. Your ranch is fire. Thank you.“

“I loved this place! The Cinnamon Roll Waffles and the Ham and Cheese Omelette were absolutely amazing! The staff was great as well. I will definitely go back when I'm in town again.“

“My friends and I, had breakfast here today and the service was awesome. I was seated quickly, and had many items, to choose from on their menu. The waiter was super nice and friendly and checked on us a few times to see if we needed anything. The ambiance was great, the food was fresh and a lot of it. I took my leftovers home. Thank you Dem and staff for a GREAT service. Take care“

“Pet friendly 🐶👍 fast service“

“Delicious food and friendly service“

“Charming and DELICIOUS!!!“

“The food was fresh and piping hot as the waitress brought it out to everyone in my 5-person party. I had the meatlovers skillet. The meats were cooked to my liking, no uncooked bacon, and the potatoes were fully cooked to perfection. The eggs were cheesy and blended together easily in my skillet. The pancakes were fluffy and hot with my meal. The wait was semi long for table/booth, but the food didn't disappoint.“

“I had a birthday party on 8/29/2024 at Privilege. It was simply amazing. I just love how the staff are so pleasant and engage with the customers. The entire vibe was amazing. Maurice is great to work with when scheduling events. The venue is very clean. They now have a outdoor area for people which looks beautiful. The food was delicious. My guests raved about Privilege. Job well done!“
