The coffee was good, it came to the table in its own thermal to stay hot. I highly recommend!!“

First Watch exceeded expectations and over delivered. The place was bustling, we got seated promptly and our server was so nice and was always smiling :) The barbacoa chilaquiles were 11/10 and the french toast was 11/10. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“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.“

“Best breakfast place in the Schaumburg area😎“

“Egg Tuck was absolutely amazing. After a few days on a liquid diet, this hit the spot in the best way possible. The eggs were silky smooth, melt-in-your-mouth delicious, perfectly flavored and paired beautifully with fresh avocado. The brioche bread pulls everything together — soft, rich, and just indulgent enough. I love how they “tuck” the sandwich into the cutest little box, and the sriracha mayo sauce is incredible. The space itself is spotless, the staff is genuinely friendly, and the easy digital self-ordering makes the whole experience seamless. Honestly, this felt like a K-drama sandwich moment — iykyk.“

“(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.“

“I love going here!! Any time I am in the Chicago area, I find Egg Harbor. They are accommodating with large groups, service is great, and best part is the ability to order a wonderful, filling gluten free breakfast! Never had an issue with finding something to eat or it not tasty. Highly recommend stopping by.“

“This was the first time at this First Watch. It is great there is a bar seating option as the waves of people waiting for a table were constant. The food was delivered hot and as requested. Definitely a great add to the OPRF restaurant cohort!“

“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!

“This used to be our absolute favorite spot. My friends and I would come here several times a week, and we loved the familiar faces on the staff. Sadly, things have drastically changed for the worse. ​We noticed the staff began turning over constantly, and after speaking with some of the remaining employees, we found out why: the owner is reportedly keeping 40% of the servers' tips. Under Illinois law, tips belong entirely to the staff, and an owner taking a cut is entirely illegal. ​It breaks our heart to walk away from a place we loved, but our group has decided to take our business to other local spots that actually respect and support their employees. We won't be back until management corrects this and treats their staff fairly.“

“Good service and food at a reasonable price“

“Great food and service! Thanks!“

“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“

“Stefanie is awesome! The whole staff is positive.“

“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.“

“I have the avocado lotto and it was plenty so much that I have enough for supper. The fruit was fresh and plentiful. The tunafish and cottage cheese were excellent. The patty melt with onions was cooked perfectly. It came with a cup of soup and a generous portion of coleslaw. We will definitely come back here again.“

“This pancake joint is the BEST!!! The workers are awsome and super helpful. The inside of the restaurant feels like an authentic cosy dinner. The FOOD was great. As a proud polish man I ordered the potato pancakes. (Best decision ever!) The pancakes were really good and in a huge portion size. This place is adorable and worth your buck. WOULD RECOMMEND!!! I WILL BE COMING BACK.“

“Delicious food! Fast and friendly service!“

“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..“

“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!💯“

“Big portions. Corned beef hash was good but not enough corned beef but overwhelming potatoes.“

“Good Food , the spicy Chilaquiles were great 👍“

“This breakfast/brunch place is phenomenal. My 1st visit to a First Watch and we were not disappointed. The coffee, food and service (Jordan was our waiter) were terrific. Jordan was attentive and kept us happy. I would recommend this place to all!“

“Lovely local family restaurant!“

“Made a detour along our 5 hour road trip, sugar milk cafe being our last stop as we headed home after a long day. So glad we chose them! Our food and drinks were delicious, the decor is beautiful within the establishment and staff were very kind/attentive. 🩷“

“This restaurant got me and my cronies through a sweaty weekend at Anime Central. We would come here once a day and be full for the rest of the entire day. The food was alright but most importantly it got the job done. Good prices, super nice staff, easiest five outta five I’ve handed out in my god damn life“

“If I could give this place ten stars, I would. The service is absolutely amazing, the location is convenient, the restaurant not only was clean but was absolutely adorable. The food was amazing, and for the price you get more than enough to feed two people with one entree!

If you are in chicago, you need to visit this place!.“
