Pancakes near Gurnee, IL

“As an out of country guest, I have been a patron with every visit to this great part of the country. The quality and flavour of all the offerings, together with the fantastic service throughout, and the family atmosphere makes this a gem deserving of all the accolades. Freshly squeezed orange juice, skillets, benedicts, omelettes, sandwiches, waffles, Greek yogurt, and of course the namesake pancakes! The list goes on and on! May God bless everyone involved in running this fantastic staple in the community. Do not miss out on trying it out and returning again and again!“

“After my doctor visits, my husband treats me to lunch at the restaurant of my choice. We just passed Eggspress in Lindenhurst. I suggested we try the restaurant. We were so pleased with the food, atmosphere and service. David, our server, was very attentive and pleasant“

“Wildberry Pancakes and Cafe has got to hands down be the best food I have had in my 32 years of life. We just got home from a girls trip for my daughter's golden birthday in Chicago this past weekend and I'm ready to hit the road to go back. She ordered the kids Oreo s'mores pancakes of the kid menu. I got the 2 eggs meal which came with 2 eggs, hash browns, choice of meat (got sausage links) and either toast or pancakes. I chose toast. We then ordered her 2 dippy eggs, a side of biscuits and gravy, and got a side of bacon to share. The biscuits and gravy are hands down top tier the best recipe I have ever tasted (I ended up ordering 2 more sides to take home so I would have breakfast tomorrow 🤤). Even after stuffing ourselves with this delicious food none of our group felt miserable in any way. there was no belly discomfort whatsoever. We just felt full and nourished. I will be coming back as often as I can. The food is so hot, so fresh, so flavorful, and overall it was a wonderful experience. Everybody was so friendly , smiley, and just warm personalities. There is quite a wait on Sundays (not sure about other days) but I would wait 4 hours if they told me I had to. They do have an option where you can get on the waiting list online (we did not know that since this was out first time). Now let's talk about their preserves they make in house 🫠🫠 they make a triple berry compote with blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries. It was literal heaven. They sell jars as you are leaving for $11. Guys you have to try this place. I'm not usually someone who leaves reviews but it's so good I can't not leave one. If you want the best brunch food you have ever had in your life I can promise you you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Until next time wildberry keep doing what you guys do!“

“Always great service, great food and very friendly staff. Owner Pete is such a great guy“

“I've not been in person and I will be one day...but I order a lot off Grubhub...if you're looking for a good deal and even better flavor its here! I always get the mega breakfast combo 3 eggs, hash browns, sausage, bacon, ham...and either toast or pancakes (always the pancakes!) for $14. If I had any complaint it would be I want more syrup cause the pancakes here are dense (which isn't bad...who doesn't like thicc pancakes)...so they like to soak all the syrupy goodness up, also...if I had an option to add cheese to my scrambled eggs...that are already perfectly made. Customer for life here! Seriously who needs Walker Bros when there's Coco's Cafe?“

“This place has improved in every way since new ownership took over! Love the food and the service!“

“I really enjoyed the bagels and cream cheese selections and taste. I wish there was somewhere to sit when we were there but we couldn't wait to have one so we started eating our fav's right in our vehicle.
It's definitely worth the trip to try some tasty bagels and any other selections you might favor. We'll be back for sure!“
