“I have been in this restaurant for more than 4 times. I highly recommend it. There are a lot of parking. Once you come in; you are greeted with a warm greeting and and enthusiastic smule by the host or owner. The servers are very accommodating , friendly and helpful. They check on their customers for whatever they need until your meal is done. The busboys are hardworking and any requests will be granted right away. The food/dishes are cooked just the way you requests. Their steaks and eggs are up to par. The prices are decently priced. For what they serve you, good amounts of food. Well worth it. Freshness and presentations of foods are stupendous! Never did I have any complaints the way the place is ran. Very clean. Wide open. Eventhough i live far. I kept going back and i know when i leave, my tummy is full, content and some take home left overs. Check their menu. Check the big breakfast meal. You can't go wrong with their reasonable prices. Thank you so much, Elena and Miguel. Who still recognized me after all these months. Great customer service!! Clean kitchens and toilets too! That's how one can tell how the place is well taken cared-,of.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sandy’s Cafe in Illinois absolutely knocked it out of the park.

As someone who waited tables for 25 years, I do not hand out praise lightly. I notice everything. Timing. Flow. Energy. Detail. And Darcy? She was beyond exceptional. Truly above and beyond in every way.

From the moment we sat down, Darcy brought warmth, attentiveness, and that effortless professionalism you only see from someone who genuinely cares. She anticipated needs before we even had to ask. The pacing was perfect. The vibe was welcoming without ever feeling rushed. It was flawless service.

And the food? Incredible. I had the blueberry pancakes and the corned beef hash and both were outstanding. The pancakes were perfectly fluffy with that just right golden finish, and the hash was savory, comforting, and cooked to perfection. Every bite felt like someone in the kitchen really knows what they’re doing.

But what set this apart from a great breakfast to an unforgettable experience was Darcy. She made us feel special. Seen. Taken care of. That kind of hospitality is rare and it matters. She even pulled out a special little gift for basket for toddlers/kids! My bestie has an 18month old granddaughter and this was a game changer! 😊

We’re from Minneapolis visiting and stumbling into Sandy’s was such a joy. Thank you for a memorable meal and for having a gem like Darcy on your team!“

“we loved our breakfast. compliments to the chef“

“Best Ham Steak, delicious everything else. Highly recommend this breakfast and lunch place. I eat here when I can.“

“Seriously so amazing! Tender juicy meat, good pricing, great portions. Worth every penny!!“

“Best breakfast spot in the Chicagoland area! Great food, excellent service from top to bottom, highly recommend! However, this place is a packed house on the weekends! Be sure to join the wait-list on Yelp or you'll be waiting over an hour for a table. Yea...it's THAT good! Kinda loud in the dining area, but that's to be expected when every single table is full from open to close.“

“This was our first time here and we had Alejandra as our server. She was amazing!!! Not only was the food good, the service was great. She made us feel welcome during our visit. We will definitely be returning based on the experience we had.“

“Absolutely love it. we enjoy the food.. and the stuff is great 🤩“

“I rarely eat out these days because it’s hard to find places that truly care about using quality ingredients, but this place blew me away! The food is absolutely delicious, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. The Million Dollar Bacon is incredible—perfectly cooked and so flavorful. I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!“

“Flew in from CA for a concert (stayed at the Sonesta nearby) and needed a hearty brunch before my flight back.
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!“

“The Cherry Pit Cafe, in Deerfield, IL, is an outstanding destination for breakfast or lunch, if you are looking for delicious food, a large and varied menu, and a cozy environment.Their service staff is warm and welcoming, and the restaurant is a fun step back in time with its nostalgic decor. I highly recommend it⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“great service!!! the hostess was very polite and professional 👍“

“Delicious food and friendly service!!“

“We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at the Lake Forest location when we were in town for our daughter's U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command graduation. By far the best place we ate when we were in the Chicagoland area. I gave it a nod in my book and encourage anyone visiting Great Lakes to stop there with their sailor during liberty.“

“very good food & service. first time here high recommendation and absolutely back for sure.“

“Best breakfast place in the Schaumburg area😎“

“Friendly and fast service“

“(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.“

“The Best Breakfast/ Lunch Restaurant I have ever been to, everything on the Menu is delicious, our Server Alex today gave awesome service she should get a raise excellent and fast customer service 5 stars all the way“

“This place is absolutely adorable and cozy! Food was just perfect, had smoked salmon benedict and it was the best breakfast I’ve ever had!!! 10/10“

“The Garden Berry Cafe is a most excellent choice for a tasty and filling breakfast, and lunch too! I have eaten there ten times with different people and everyone was satisfied, and I have never been disappointed with and food choices I have made. It has always been a pleasant experience. Keep up the good work.“

“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!“

“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“

“El Sabor del Café... y su atención.“

“I stumbled across this hidden little gem! Honestly best little dinner I’ve been too lately! It’s homey and just great! I come here after my appointments for breakfast every other week! Great food and service! It’s def a local vibe and really great homey food! If your like me a 90s kid you grew up in diners and this is that diner!“

“Awesome food, Gigantic Portions, and responsive and courteous staff“

“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.“

“Nice breakfast and great location“

“Friday Wing and Taco specials! Best Tortilla soup! Must try the Turkey boat! Everything is yum here...“

“The food was meh. I got the ribeye. I will start by saying that I cleaned my plate. So it wasnt THAT bad... But the steak was chewy and lacked flavor. And it might have been a touch over-done from the med-rare I asked for; AND it was way too thin. I'd be surprised if someone said it was half an inch thick. But again, I finished it. It wasn't nearly bad enough to complain about. But for nearly $50, it wasn't up to snuff. The green beans and mashed potatoes were both pretty good.
Service was good enough. Our waiter was on top of everything and fast. Can't ask for more.

We stopped in because we had limited time between check in at the hotel and when the concert started at Joe's live across the street/parking lot. If we had more time, we probably wouldve gone somewhere else. It's not bad, but it's not great food either. Again, for nearly $50, you would probably be better off somewhere else. But if it's your only option, you won't feel bad either.

They seemed pretty kid friendly, fwiw.“

“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..“

“😋😋😋 It was really good breakfast and it was very quick service too~“

“We were looking for breakfast while on the Highway. This place was 10 minutes out of our way, but well worth it! This was the best French Toast and the staff worked together like a well oiled machine. They were all so friendly and efficient.“

“I stopped by this pancake spot to pass some time before the mall opened, and I'm so glad I did! The food was absolutely delicious, and the coffee was just as good. The entire staff was warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The place was clean and welcoming.

Our server, Abraham, was especially wonderful. He was incredibly patient with my kids and handled a few small special requests for their meals without hesitation. He truly went above and beyond, and everything came out exactly the way we ordered it.

We tried a variety of dishes, including the skillets, pancakes, French toast, and soup and every single item was amazing. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. We'll definitely be back!“
