While worth the trip for a fantastic meal.

“Been going here for over 10 years. & For my 99% request (large B&G, over easy eggs, side of link sausage and pancakes) it has been the best.. ???.. went off rail Sunday... I tried the Country Fried Steak skillet.. the bacon was burnt, the cfs tasted off.. Got the same feedback from other guests in my party. So here it can be a mixed bag. Order items that would require "made to order" ingredients, my guess.. Except the gravy.. it's gooooood.. ?“

“Mary and her restaurant are the cutest ever! The food is great, bakery is great and the restaurant is decorated for every holiday. Fast, friendly service. Usually come for breakfast but the soups are amazing, especially the cream of Jalepeno! Highly recommend you come check her out!“

“Overall everything was excellent. Food was delicious and the staff was friendly. My only nitpick is we asked for water and the water brought out was room temp, so it would have been nice if ice had been added. But, as I said, that's nitpicking.“

“On a trip for by beau's bday and staying in the hotel near here was pleasantly surprised on what we found despite the construction happening nearby which provided noise and dust. I was only familiar with First Watch in the deep MidWest and South and as a Chicago native was interested they were here. We had the Honey Crunch Iced Coffee ($6- uber sweet), Salmon and Veg Frittata ($14 - really good), Morning Meditation juice ($5 - refreshing), Regular Coffee ($4 - nothing special), and Frittata Rustica ($13 - a good bang for the buck). The only thing I could have done without is the iced coffee since it was sooo sweet. I felt bad drinking so much sugar. The food and service were great as we were chatting it up with our server Ephron and he was also entertaining the other young ladies around lol. He was a looker so I know they were looking. All in all a good meal to sustain us for the trip to the nearby Fashion Outlet Mall afterwards.“

“i retract my previous statement. please remove negative comment. thank you,“

“We had a large group just before lunchtime on a Saturday, and they were great about squeezing us in. Our server D was amazing, truly, and the other staff were helpful and attentive, too. The food was delicious, hot, fast, priced affordably. They have a large menu. We had some special diets in our group and there were enough options for them to find what they needed. I definitely would return and would recommend it to friends.“

“Food is really good and the menu is vast. They give you a lot so don't plan for dinner lol
Smoothies are a little on the "tasteless" side. The House Hashbrowns are divine.
I'll be back for a mimosa and to try another food option.“

“Loved the Belgian waffles and mimosas will definitely be returning to try other things on the menu,waitress was very polite and tentative to refills.“

“Second day in Chicago and surrounding areas and I found this wonderful cafe and the service my family and I received was phenomenal and high praises to the kitchen and staff as a whole was knowledgeable and the food was just how a morning should start.“

“Also very efficient. We’ll go again fo4 sure.Food excellent, prices reasonable, service above average. Our waitress, Alejandra was most gracious and friendly. Well stop again for sure.“

“Food is hit or miss. Sometimes, it is too greasy and sometimes it is really good. I give the young man who is there a 10 and he should get raise because he is nice on the phone and in person. Everyone is very nice that works there but as I said the food can be hit or miss.“

“This is a nice old fashioned restaurant. Large portions and friendly service. Despite being very busy, we were waited on quickly and our meals came very fast. The menu had a very nice selection, but you cannot go wrong with breakfast. Hash browns and the omelette were delicious. My only even slightly down thing to say is that since so many people are there, it gets quite loud. Sometimes loud enough that I can't fully hear what the person I am with is saying to me. It does make true conversation a bit difficult at times.“

“Jason was so good this busy Sunday afternoon. With the placed packed it took less than. 10 minutes to seat us. When we got seated it was just a few minutes before Jason came took our drink order and it was bliss form then til the end. The Bloody Mary's are amazing. Not too heavy and just right on the spice. We got the veggie hash and substituted hash browns for the eggs and an order of French toast. We try and stay vegan but sometimes french toast is our weakness. Food was great drinks we're amazing service was superb. Definitely looking forward to trying all heir amazing plant based otions.“

“My birthday was on July 27th and so I decided to celebrate by going out the following day for a brunch get together with a few friends. You couldn't tell me this place was 7 months old even if you told me about it yesterday lol. It was absolutely amazing, and you get your money's worth with the huge size of food they provide. The staff was very gracious and celebrated me too. There were no wait times so once we were seated, we were fed within minutes! Overall, I had a great time, and I strongly encourage everyone reading this to please pay this family-owned restaurant a visit...you won't be disappointed. I'll be back again soon!!!“

“Perfect spot for a morning brunch! Yia Yias has been a quality go to spot for me for years now. Hostess Angela was over the top in helping seat my big party (10+ people). She was very professional. The chicken sausage here is very good, other than that it’s just solid breakfast food! Recommend!“

“This is a Mom & Pop place that’s been around for over 50 years. That is a rarity and what makes JKs a go to place in Berkeley.

Located at the southeast corner of St Charles and Wolf Road, this place is perfect for Sunday breakfast or a lunch time meal. The location is perfect for out of town folks too because it’s a quick drive off I-290.

The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing. Every time I go here, I see at least one person I know.

Parking is perfect. Free parking in the JKs lot with overflow a block away that is also free on the street.

I come here at least 2-3 times a month for the last 15 years. My kids rave about the strawberry crepes and strawberry blintzes.

I love their omelette with hash browns.

Takeout options are easy as well.

Parking: Full parking I’m out which fits 20 vehicles plus free street parking a block away.“

“Standard breakfast joint. I had French toast on this trip. Pricing was reasonable. Service was great. It was for a larger party, and they managed the table QUITE well. The steak & eggs looked good, it would be a dish o would consider next.Coffee was just okay. It lacked consistency from cup to cup, which forced some folks to change their beverage of choice.“

“Had a very good experience at the Pancake House today. The menu includes many variations on traditional breakfast foods. The prices were a bit on the higher side, but the food was amazing!!! Everything was freshly cooked and hot. The serving sizes are VERY large. It is a busy place on Sunday at noon, but it was worth the wait. Our server was efficient and pleasant. The food took a bit of time to arrive, but it was very, very busy. The food was delicious. We really enjoyed it and will be sure to eat there again.“

“The service was not the best. Food was good, coffee was good. We were not provided with an itemized receipt though.“

“My favorite Green Chilaquiles, we live in Rockford and every time we’re passing by we come to Andy’s Cafe, thank you for the great service and delicious food..“
