Food is a solid okay. Join their rewards program though you get solid discounts. The adobo chicken dip sandwich is good. Phatty is classic breakfast. All the bacon is covered in sugar. Hope you like tater tots bc they are served with everything.

Good mix of savory and sweet.

Me and my husband went for our anniversary and I order the breakfast burger and he ordered a burrito. I also got a really cute drink as well. We walked in and were greeted by a very nice gentleman who gave us water right away and showed us how to order. The place was super cute and the drink was really good. Food took a bit but as expected for what we ordered. I got a few bites into my burger and somehow there was paper in my burger. Really disappointed and ruined my appetite and my husband burrito was nothing to rave about. Lacked flavor and was pretty bland but the bacon was good. I told our server that there was paper in the burger and immediately made us a new one which was nice and took 50% off order and gave us the drink for free. So overall the experience was nice and the restaurant is beautiful just disappointed about the burger. Would I go back, probably not but it’s a cool spot to check out if you’ve never been.

Super cute place! Love the atmosphere and the staff was really polite. Food was great and it was nice to try new things and not the same menu as every place around. Thickest bacon I’ve ever had! Definitely coming back to try more!

I have such mixed feelings about this place! We were visiting from out of town and researched several possible brunch locations from our hotel room. We decided on this place based on the menu and proximity to our destination the following morning. Their website describes it as an “order at the counter” experience, which is what we were expecting. When we were arrived, though, we were told to use the QR code on the table to order. There was only one person working the counter and delivering food, although I’m sure there were others in the back cooking (?). We were struggling to get the QR code to work… it would not let us order as a group (which is an option in the app). Although the employee at the counter saw us struggling every time he walked by, he never offered to help until we finally went up to the counter and asked, at which point we were told to just have one person order for all of us as an individual. This was a frustrating experience as we had to share the phone or talk each other through what we wanted to order and not be able to see a menu, etc. It was also very frustrating because some of the menu options are not explained and there was no one to ask (for example, what does “upgraded” tater tots mean? What comes on them? What is crack sauce? Etc.) The vibe of the place is okay - the ceiling is decorated with flowers and is fun, but the sun was glaring in through the glass wall with no shades or anything to block it out. I will say that the food was very good! The bacon is amazing and all of our meals were generous portions. You do have to be careful to read the fine print; if you don’t go back and close out your tab an automatic gratuity is applied later in the day. Not sure if we would return or not. The food itself was great, but the experience and service as a whole were disappointing and frustrating considering what we could have gotten elsewhere for a similar price tag.

My favorite place to eat when in Chicago. I just wish they’d bring back their old menu. Nevertheless, food is always amazing! I highly recommend!

Visiting from out of town with my Dad and we stopped by here for breakfast. All of the staff was so friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. We had a little hiccup when it came to our food but the staff was beyond helpful and accommodating. Everything was sorted out - would 100% come back!

This was my first time there & the food was good. I love the crispy outside on the pancakes and the very thick cut bacon was unique so I was pleased. The service was great as well. The only thing was it took a little too long to get our food And the tater tots were lukewarm. The chicken Philly was okay but it lacked seasoning, in my opinion, but it wasn't a hindrance to my experience.

I didn't infuse any of the food so I don't know how that would taste

When we arrived, the restaurant was initially great. However, we soon realized that my friend had been waiting over 30 minutes for her food, and unfortunately, so had everyone else. Our server was unhelpful and didn’t even notice that no one had their food for more than 30 minutes. The chef eventually came out to resolve the issue, which seemed like a backward approach since our server should have been the one to address the problem. Considering this experience, I don’t think I’ll be returning to this restaurant. My friend had a terrible time, and since this was our first time here, I wonder if we would have had a better experience if we had gone to IHOP instead.

I am so highly disappointed in this place. My cousin made a reservation for 20, the max you can make before making a party event, for a Sunday to celebrate mine and my husband’s wedding. When we arrived, they had “forgotten” about our reservation and separated our entire group into 4 tables. None even near each other. When asked if there was anything that could be done, the “chef” said that he could only give me a 10% discount and that we shouldn’t have expected to sit together like that on a Sunday afternoon. Um hello?? We made a reservation. What was the point of making one, ON A SUNDAY, if we wouldn’t have been able to sit together? We would have gone somewhere else. Not to mention, I was told a few different things by staff. It was that they forgot, they got a new system, and that we shouldn’t have expected to sit together on a Sunday, even tho we had a reservation. The place itself is so pretty with the floral decor. But they completely ruined time with family and friends that had flown in for this event. I tried to be nice about the situation but this left such a bad taste. I wish I didn’t have to write this review. It seems nice for a quick little date, or a quick lunch with friends but definitely go somewhere else if you have a bigger group and don’t expect to sit together on a Sunday!

Our food and drinks were delicious! However, I called multiple times leading up to our reservation since it was a large party reservation. Despite verbalizing an understanding from both the staff I spoke on the phone with and myself that the maximum table reservation was 20 people, I was told when I got to the restaurant that they "cannot guarantee 20 spots all together" when I asked for mt reservation to be seated. We received no compensation for this, and our group was seated across 4 different tables.

The best grilled cheese sandwich I've ever had. Not just your standard sandwich. Even the chicken thigh was very good especially when dipped in the Crack Sauce.

The audacity to suggest a tip on your receipts but there is a button for service is beyond me. The food was nice, there is no service at this place. Just food runners. Unfortunately disappointed in that aspect. Clearly a much more of a togo kind of place. Very odd experience.
