Love this little restaurant. Kind of a hidden gem. The food is delicious. My go-to breakfast item is the Chilaquiles. Its probably one of the best ones I've had.

Food and price were okay. Service was awful. Never checked back on drinks unless bringing food or check. Never even looked at our table so I could wave. Not busy at all, felt like we were unwelcome. Best breakfast? What a joke. We won't be back.

This is a very unassuming gem. Inside has a skylight, warm wooden tables, and staff that are happy to serve you. I've been hearing twice now and their food has been great nothing too frilly! Depending on when you come parking might be tricky along with a wait, but I've gone on a Sunday at 9am and I had no wait with plenty of parking.

The coffee was served cold, which was disappointing, so we left without ordering anything else.

Before it got its title of being the best in Northern IL, this was always my families go to spot for cheap comfort breakfast food. After years of not eating here, my family and I were disappointed to say the least, seeing how poor the service and quality of food had gotten. First, when we arrived, we were told to just “sit wherever” and Miriam just walked away. After sitting ourselves down, it took 10 minutes before Jorge, the main server, attended us. Considering it was not busy at all, we expected to be provided with quick and friendly service. Although Jorge was kind, he checked in on us only one time after our food was served and we never saw him again throughout our stay to the point where I had to be quick in catching him before he moved on after attending a nearby table. Secondly, the food was so incredibly bland it was upsetting. I ordered the french toast with fresh strawberry topping, egg and bacon combo. The eggs were rubbery, the french toast was pretty much just a plain piece of wheat bread, and the strawberries were pretty sour considering they were mainly spoiled. I will say from the party of five, there was one person at the table who enjoyed their meal. Finally, when it came to paying the tab, Miriam didn’t even know where we sat as she asked what number table we were as if we were supposed to know how their layout is, and how many was the party. Talk about great hospitality!

During our time there, there was one server who truly appeared to provide great service to her tables! She seemed very attentive and quick. Wish we had her! Maybe she could give a quick refresher course in service training to the rest of the staff.

Sadly, we will not be coming here again.

In area from Minneapolis. Worth the stop. Average prices, service attentive, and tasty fare with generous proportions. Best part is that our order (three of us) was out very quickly- and real plus.

Everything was great!

Until, my son wouldn't eat his eggs. I picked his plate up and there was a long, thick, black strand of hair.

I know it wasnt on purpose, but it ruined the rest of the breakfast.

We were knocked off of our feet by the food and the service. We had French Toast, Ultimate skillet, breakfast burrito, and Biscuits and Gravy. The Chorizo was awesome and not greasy. Everything was incredible.

First and last visit! Food was good, coffee was ok. BUT, as a customer, I can NOT recommend! Our service, NO SERVICE, was AWFUL! Waitress brought our food and we never seen her again. Never came to our table once….. NO SECONDS on coffee!!! Never came over to see how everything was, as other restaurants the waitresses come to see if all is GOOD!! NEVER came to give us our CHECK, after looking at my phone for 20-25 minutes, I had ask a kid to get me my waitress for my check. The cashier came and gave me it. My husband was furious as well! We let NO TIP, Not deserving $$. I will tell my family and neighbors, not to visit
