“My favourite place ❤️ First Watch is my absolute favorite place for breakfast! The food is always fresh, perfectly balanced, and delicious. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is super friendly. Every visit feels special. I especially love their coffee and seasonal dishes — you can tell everything is made with care.“

“I was a steady customer but will not be returning to this establishment again. Today I asked to sit in a booth and James, the owner said "We're too busy to sit one person in a "big" booth. (I was the only one waiting for a table.) So the waitress wanted me to sit at a table. The "big" booth seats 4. The table they wanted me to sit at also seats 4. The only difference is the booth doesn't hurt my back like the hard chairs do. I'm dying of cancer, which James is aware of, I have enough pain I don't need any more by sitting on hard chairs. Well he won't have to worry about being so "busy" to let someone have some comfort he's got one less patron. I'm done with this place.“

“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.“

“WOW!!!
This was hands down one of the greatest breakfast experiences I’ve ever had at any restaurants.
If you’re fortunate enough to have Linda as your server, be prepared to tip at least 40% because SHE. IS. AWESOME!!!

Not only was the food absolutely incredible, it came out within 5 minutes of ordering.

Do yourself a favor and please dine here. Support this wonderful local restaurant.“

“Very good Food but very expensive for the food they make need to lower the price and make it affordable“

“I just recently started going there since last year. No negative reviews here. Every single experience has been great alongside with the food. When it’s your birthday, the staff sings to you. You pay what you get and it’s worth every penny. Keep up the great work Alexander’s!! As busy as it gets: even when people are standing room only: it goes by quickly and the staff greets you with their kindness and smiles.“

“This place is so cute! It is a diner's diner with all the nostalgia of Waffle House and NONE of the regrets! The fries were REALLY GOOD! Thin and firm with just the right amount of little crunchy ones. No stink eye at bringing in a kid (there are even high chairs and lollipops at the till). This is my new favorite“

“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!!“

“Best GF waffle I have EVER had!“

“The service is great, the prices are good, and the food is great 😊 , great neighborhood place to eat at !“

“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.“

“great Morning with amazing service and great breakfast all around!!!“

“Delicious food! Fast and friendly service!“

“Great comfortable place to rest and eat a delicious meal. They will make whatever you like even if it's not on the menu. Whatever you order it's going to taste delicious!! Great friendly service and large portions of food. I am always taking leftovers home. My favorite is the double cheeseburger with everything. It includes grilled onions, delicious chilli and an egg on top. The egg is cooked the way you like it. I enjoy an over easy egg on top of my burger. OMG delicious!! They also have a gaming room in the back.“

“Delicious breakfast food. I had a ham and cheese omelet, my husband had biscuits and gravy, and our friend had the scrambled eggs chorizo. We all enjoyed our food immensely. The hashbrowns are delicious and the eggs were soft and fluffy. Yum!“

“Lovely local family restaurant!“

“Food: I got a Gyro for the first time and it was good but was a lot of the same flavor, not much variance since the meat is all ground up. Probably just not for me personally. Pizza looked really good!
Service: the cashier we had was awesome and helped with recommendations for someone who has never been to Chicago or had Chicago food.
Atmosphere: loved the diner feel to the place!

Parking: Pretty small parking lot out front, fits maybe 10 cars.“

“Greeted Cheerfully. Served speedily and attentively. Appropriately priced in Chicago for the generous serving size. ($22 dollars for chilaquiles with 3 eggs, 4-6oz steak, green sauce, and rice and beans).

I left full and happy.

Made me wish I was a morning person.“

“Lots to offer, works to benefit the community“
