I visited sugar bowl yesterday with a friend of mine for the first time. We had a late breakfast and I have to say everything was spot-on. It is a great place the food the atmosphere and the service was what you would expect from a restaurant that started in 1921. If you are in a Des plaines downtown area please stop in at sugar bowl and check them out I'm sure you won't be disappointed! This restaurant has the quality of food that you are looking for! 2

Wow! What a find!! This place is outstanding!!! First, let me start with the food...outstanding and super fresh! You can have breakfast items or lunch items. I had the tuna melt. Best tuna melt I have ever had! Crunchy toasted bread, great tuna salad mix with crunchy celery, cheese. It came with fries. Super fresh, hot, crunchy fries. THEN...it came with soup as well! Wow! The soup choices that day were chicken noodle or potato. I had chicken noodle, my husband had potato...both outstanding!!! The soup was so good we ordered more to take home! The service....super friendly and a clearly efficient team! The environment....its the original diner. With diners slowly disappearing....this is a real gem that all should go to! Thank you Sugar Bowl....you have new customers and we will be back often!!!!

I’m the kind of person that will make an initial judgement about a restaurant based on the coffee. They have fabulous coffee. My husband and his godmother both had sandwiches with the chicken dumpling soup. Said it was delicious. I got the gypsy skillet. Thin sliced fried potatoes, chunks of ham , onions sliced mushrooms with melted cheddar cheese. Topped off with two over medium eggs. Perfection in a skillet. Got the pancakes on the side. Yummy. We will be back

Sugar Bowl is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. GM Vicky is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Amazing breakfast. Must come back. 10/10.

Absolutely the best food, Not too many places have freshly squeezed the orange juice. The staff are extremely friendly and professional. I'm glad the sugar bowl is still open for business. This place has been around since I was a kid and I am now 47 years old and so go when I get a chance.

They run your debit card as a credit card so they can charge you a substantial fee for it. That is illegal and we will never go back.

Busia, DziaDzia, Gerald and I had lunch at this cool family restaurant with a vintage flair. This unique place gives quality freshness and hospitality in Des Plaines. I noticed after we sat down the place got busy.
Busia mentioned Blintzes which is an entree I didn’t eat yet. Next time I’m going to have to try it, I just couldn’t steer myself away from a good Benedict. I had to apologize to the family and the waitress because I couldn’t decide what to eat. Jaja 😛 We couldn’t finish the delicious food so we were able to bring back leftovers.
Breakfast can really be served in all types of ways. Thank you to the wonderful staff of Sugar Bowl. It was a pleasure to eat good food, good conversation with DziaDzia and Busia about Sugar Bowl restaurant, homemade candy, and family. ❤️
