Pancakes in Chicago, IL

“Wildberry is an absolute must to visit each time we are in Chicago. The food is a bit pricey but it is phenomenal. My go to breakfasts are the signature pancakes and the skillets. If you’re on the fence about going- do yourself a favor and visit.“

“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!“

“If you’re looking for a great breakfast in Chicago, The Original Pancake House near State Street delivered.

I went with the steak omelette, and everything about it worked. The eggs were fluffy and light, the steak was flavorful, and the vegetables were fresh and cooked just right. Add a stack of pancakes that were equally light and fluffy, and this was simply a great breakfast.

But what really stood out was the service.

There’s something refreshing about walking into a restaurant where people actually greet you, check on you and pay attention. Coffee filled. Water filled. Orange juice filled. You didn’t have to look around trying to find someone. The servers, cooks and manager all seemed engaged and on top of things.

That kind of service makes a difference.

The only small issue was a few bees making their way inside near the door to the outdoor seating area—apparently they knew where the pancakes and honey were too! But even that didn’t take away from the experience.

Great food. Great service. Attentive people. No drama. No mistakes. Just a really good Chicago breakfast.

The Original Pancake House definitely delivered.“

“I had a great experience at Original Pancake House, thanks in large part to Juanita G. She provided excellent customer service from start to finish attentive, friendly, and made sure everything went smoothly throughout the meal. The food was delicious and came out fresh, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was warm and welcoming. Juanita's hospitality really made the visit stand out. Highly recommend asking for her .“

“Great pancakes. Excellent service.“

“The food was great, large portions guarantee to fill you and great for the money. Nice cozy atmosphere. Order taker just have to pay a little more attention to specific requests. My husband and I went in and order to go breakfast and I order coffee to have while we were waiting for the meal, but I didn't receive the coffee until the meal was ready, therefore I had to wait until I got home to have my coffee because I wasn't going drive and drink hot coffee.

But overall experience is great. My husband introduced me to this place because it's one of his favorite breakfast place. It's worth the try 👍🏿 👌🏿 .“

“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“

“The food is pretty good and comes in large portions. Service was excellent. It's very much a predictable diner situation, which was exactly what we were looking for the morning we visited. Hard plastic booths and a divey-vegas-like atmosphere can either be cute or meh.“

“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.“

“Pet friendly 🐶👍 fast service“

“Delicious food and friendly service“

“Charming and DELICIOUS!!!“

“Adela was our server and she has been many times. She is very attentive and always makes our experience great. The food here is always delicious. We have had a variety of menu items and are never disappointed. The orange juice is always fresh squeezed which is our favorite. Some favorites I’d recommend are the strawberry French toast, Irish skillet, pancakes of any kind, and the ham and Swiss crepes!“

“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!“
