“I have now been to Juicy-O twice to meet with my mom for lunch, and each time has been a delightful experience. I discovered the charred beef tips breakfast meal the first time and now I am addicted. I had to order it again the second time I came and it was just as good. The coffee was tasty and replenished often. The service was excellent with friendly staff that were very attentive. Is it wrong I am already looking forward to my next time visiting Juicy-O? Maybe I will actually try something different next time? Odds are 50-50. 👍😁“

“I visited Buttermilk Cafe for the first time today for breakfast. I am working in Carol Stream and staying at the Hamilton Suites. I decided to try Buttermilk Cafe this morning as a change from the hotel breakfast. They did not disappoint. I had the blackberry brie French toast. Oh my goodness, it was SO delicious. I added the pure maple syrup for a nominal additional charge ($1.79). But it really didn't need syrup. My server, Matilde, was attentive and very nice. I would definitely eat here again when in town.“

“Stopped here for breakfast, 1st time and I would definitely recommend it. The service was excellent and the food was great (real, fresh, hot, cooked to order)! I had the sampler with oatmeal pancakes and they were delicious!!! My other options included the chicken avocado crepe and Mediterranean omelette. The coffee was good, it came to the table in its own thermal to stay hot. I highly recommend!!“

“(2025) Brunch Cafe - Addison, IL I recently had the pleasure of dining at Brunch Cafe in Addison, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! Our waitress, Febe, provided EXCELLENT service—she was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was amazing, coming out hot and fresh, just as we hoped. From the fluffy pancakes to the savory breakfast burrito, every dish was delicious and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. In my opinion, this restaurant should be rated #1 in Addison, IL for breakfast. No other place comes close to the quality and service we experienced here. Highly recommend! (2024) How ever long is your wait is please wait. It’s definitely worth the wait. Their food is absolutely delicious and our waitress was professional + friendly. Carrot cake pancakes are my new favorite.“

“We absolutely love this place. The food is great, the customer service fantastic, and they always donate to local schools and help support the community. The owners are incredibly personable, and always personally greet us when we come in. You can always see one of the owners helping customers, running the register, taking out food, and/or busing a table. The absolutely lead by example, and I believe this is one of the main reasons Sweet Toast delivers incredible food and customer experiences.“

“This is a wonderful place to have a meal! Super friendly people, very accommodating of allergies, and delicious food! Highly recommend!“

“Great food, ambiance and service!“

“It's a decent breakfast place. Portions are good but it's not cheap. Also I feel like the quality of their food has gone down noticeably since I first went there three years ago, my Mom doesn't want to go here anymore. It's still good enough, but Hen House of Wheaton is down the road and their food is WAY better. But also way more pricey. It's in this weird place where it's not cheap enough for me to want it as a budget option, but the food isn't quite good enough for me to want to have brunch with my parents.“

“This was a great place to eat! We tried it yesterday, during our trip, and were throughly pleased with it all. The restaurant looks great, service was fast, and the food was delicious. I’d recommend this to others.“

“This was our first time eating at YiaYia's Cafe in Hinsdale, Illinois. The restaurant and bathroom was very clean. The food was great tasting and perfect portions. The waitress was very friendly and professional. We will definitely be coming back to eat here again!

Keep up the great work!

“Great food and service! Thanks!“

“Lake St Cafe is such a hidden gem! The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, and you can really tell they care about quality. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming perfect for a relaxed breakfast or lunch. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always makes you feel right at home. Everything from the service to the presentation is on point. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area you won’t be disappointed!“

“We stumbled upon The Tasty Biscuit while in town for a wedding and ended up coming back twice—it was that good. Despite a packed parking lot both mornings, we were seated right away thanks to their fast, efficient service. The coffee was excellent, the menu was full of creative and classic options, and the food itself? Quite possibly the best breakfast we’ve ever had. On our second visit, we even recognized some familiar faces from the day before—clearly, we weren’t the only ones hooked! If you’re anywhere near this place, don’t miss the chance to stop in. Your taste buds will thank you.“

“Excellent service and a really nice atmosphere, with plenty of good food choices, especially if you’re looking for healthier options. Two of us had breakfast along with lattes, and the total came to around $60 before tip, which feels pretty typical for inner city Chicago pricing.

The maple bacon was fantastic. We did wait about 15 minutes, but the place was clearly busy, so it made sense. Overall, a great experience.“

“Grew up in the area, great memories! Nice to know they are still in business. Used to work Nextdoor at White Hen Pantry, 1969 - 72“

“OMG the Baked Blueberry French Toast!! 😋 Yummmm!!“

“I have take out from here quite often as I work in the area. Food is always done properly, each and every time. Monday I dined in and had a wonderful experience. Great staff, solid service. Shout out to the server Micheal great energy, definitely a people person. Highly recommend for a traditional breakfast.“

“So long Sprinkles. I have a new favorite cupcake bakery —Courageous Cupcake. They are moist, delicious and made with fresh quality ingredients. The employees are super friendly and kind.“

“Best GF waffle I have EVER had!“

“If you’re looking for a place that gets it right across the board, Egg Harbor Elmhurst is it. The food was outstanding—flavorful, fresh, and served at the right pace. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without us having to ask twice. You can tell they care about the experience as much as the meal. I’ll definitely return, and I’ll keep recommending Egg Harbor Elmhurst to anyone looking for a great spot.“

“Delicious food! Fast and friendly service!“

“Great atmosphere. Great and friendly service. What really disappoints me, it is the fact, the employees don't have any sense of urgency. The managers do, I can see them going here and there while the actual crew is standing doing barely nothing with a cup on their hands lying over the counters.“

“I worked here for 6 months and the owners had me fired for talking Spanish to the cooks! VERY discriminatory!!!💯 Customers BEWARE of what type of establishment you are supporting when dining here!💯“

If we are ever back in town, we will return!“
