Breakfast Restaurants near North Riverside

“We went for brunch. You could tell it was good from the start, because of the number of people waiting to be seated.I had the Stacked & Loaded, at it was wonderful! And enough food that it was my only meal of the day! I never got hungry after this.Service was good, and very fast considering how busy they were. The employees were nice.Overall, it was a great experience. I hope to go back soon.“

“Gluten free waffles and pancakes ARE available and an absolute revelation! Hallelujah! The blueberry lemon cheesecake waffles were INSANE, no maple syrup needed.Claudia was a great hostess and server. Even when she is busy she's attentive and kind.Great Julius Meinl coffee ☕?My only note, and the only ⭐ I withheld, would be that our steak skillet had barely any meat in it and was mostly large chunks of potatoes and cheese (fine, but we're here for the full melange). If we're going to do hunks of potato, I personally prefer a small to medium dice, but hash browns are my top. Skillets are a staple and will be what brings people in over and over so that they can have the filling savory meal while they share your delicious waffles. Of course my experience is mine alone.Menu images for everyone to enjoy their amazing offerings!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free available!!“

“Always yummy. My family and I’ve been coming here for around 10 years (my abuelita’s fave spot) and always hits the spot. Pro tip: come during the week to avoid a major wait time. Even then with wait, line goes by real quick. Highly recommend there hot cakes and skillets.Vegetarian options: Veggie skillet and acorn and tofu scramble“

“Always incredible - one of the best breakfast sandwiches in the city (I get the pablano/veggie and add sausage ? - which was a staff suggestion). Everyone who works there is friendly and engaging! If they had a yearbook, I would write, "have a cool summer - don't ever change".“

“Hands down one of my favorite breakfast/lunch spots in the city. Great food and service. Cute, quiet place. I just love this place and can't say enough great things about it. I drive out of the way for this place because it is worth it.“

“My boyfriend and I stumbled upon the Garden Of Eat'n Restaurant last weekend for breakfast, and what a delightful discovery it turned out to be! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality, setting the tone for a fantastic dining experience.We both opted for dishes from their "specials" menu, and let me tell you, we were not disappointed. I ordered the red chilaquiles, being a lover of spice, and they certainly delivered on the heat! But beyond the spicy kick, every bite was bursting with flavor. The portions were generous, leaving us feeling fully satisfied and content.The ambiance of the Garden Of Eat'n is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a leisurely meal. It truly felt like dining in a hidden gem, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.Overall, our experience at the Garden Of Eat'n Restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. Delicious food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere - what more could you ask for? If you're in the mood for a memorable breakfast or brunch experience, I highly recommend paying them a visit. You won't be disappointed!“

“Popped into this place for a brunch during our latest Chicago trip. Yummy! Very enjoyable experience!! Eggs prepared exactly as ordered, potatoes had terrific seasoning, and the whole dish was so warm and welcoming (hash)!! Other key takeaways...cute tabletops, extremely clean, and a friendly staff to boot. So glad we chose this spot. :)Kid-friendliness: My son who is medium picky also enjoyed the hash and ate all three bacon slices as a side!“

“Nothing but amazing things to say about this place! From the atmosphere, servers, food and Mary herself! You feel at home there. Mary knows you, the staff is beyond amazing. Some of the sweetest servers out there! Mary has theme days and in the summer it’s not uncommon for her to have DJ’s outside! Go check it out!“

“k bendición, such a warm and welcoming atmosphere! i love that as a spanish speaker i felt right at home while also receiving the best of both worlds cuisine. service was jimmy johns kind of crazy fast and the food was absolutely delicious!! certainly a step up from your regular diner! would highly recommend?“

“Wish it hadn’t taken me so long to try Ahuevo! Really excellent food (we had the tots, a breakfast burrito, and an egg/sausage sandwich), and great service (the owner slipped us some cookies to try too!). Definitely gonna keep my eye on this place when they move to their own space! Will miss them being so close by but always love to support smaller businesses led by quality people.“

“First time going here and it was such a welcoming experience! The wait wasn't that long and the food is made fresh! Great prices and amazing tasting food! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! we got a double cheeseburger and patty melt. THANK YOU TO THE COOK! ❣“

“My mother and I had a fabulous breakfast here this past weekend. The service was very welcoming and friendly, the coffee superb, and the food excellent. It's a very clean and inviting space and I know I'll definitely be back to visit again soon. Highly recommend!“

“The best hollandaise sauce I’ve had. Ever.It’s made in house every day. And it’s PERFECT!I could wrap myself in it lol.It’s that good.The food is wonderful. All fresh.But the sauce. Unforgettable.Whenever I’m in Chicago, I come here for it.“

“We went to breakfast with family. We called ahead, and they actually saved a table for 8. So we just walked in. The place was full to capacity!! The food was out of this world. You must try it!! I'm a Eggs Benedict guy and I thought Egg Harbour had the Best but this place had Eggs Benedict Florentine which was astounding hahaha. This location was at la Grange il.“

“This was a great experience. The atmosphere was great and the service was to. I am a person who's experience is largely influenced by the service and this did not disappoint. Our waitress was very personable and made sure we has a pleasant experience. She's the one from Costa Rica, if you go their.The food was very good. I had the steak and eggs and the steak was cooked perfectly as I ordered.I hope they keep up the quality of service because if they do, I've found my new regular breakfast spot.“

“Always a great experience here. It can get crowded on the weekends but I never have waited a long time to sit or for service. The food is very good! They have a lot of different options including fun shakes! My favorite is the southwest omelet! I loved it as a skillet and tried is as an omelet and fell in love! They have lots of fun pancake options as well. Good meal options with lots to offer making it not that expensive!“

“Took the family out for Sunday breakfast and we were excited to visit this spot. I was looking forward to the Llpingacho Benedict, which I was so curious about. The flavor was very good and unique with the potato cakes and grilled tomatoes. Surprisingly, the most tasty item we had were the pancakes. My son ordered the oreo pancakes and I had a bite of it. I was floored by the rich taste and texture of the pancakes. I'd return just for those. Before ending this post, I cannot forget to mention that they have outstanding service and hospitality. Check this spot out, you won't be disappointed.“

“The food was delicious and so fresh! The country fried steak was a little salty but overall delicious! Everything was fairly priced. The server was so friendly and kind. Very attentive as well and they served the food exactly how we asked for it. We will definitely dine in again.“

“The food is very good but the service is mediocre. The young servers can be a little more friendly and also they should honor the prices that are on the menu in front of you and if they've changed, then they should go ahead and change it on the menu.“

“I’ve been coming here since I was a kid (I’m 24 now) , this is easily my favorite breakfast spot ever . The servers are so sweet & kind, the owners are great people & it’s family owned . The food tastes like it was made by my gma, everything tastes so good & since I’ve been a repeat customer since birth ? I’ve tried pretty much everything on the menu already, anything you get is 10/10 . The cream of chicken & rice soup is a must try, any time I’m sick that’s my go to . It’s my family’s favorite soup . I’d like to think that’s their signature soup, anyone I know that has tried it says it’s their favorite thing on the menu .. me included . The skirt steak is absolutely amazing & has so much flavor . The rolls are so buttery, soft & fresh . Next time you’re in the area & can’t decide where you wanna eat, come here you will not be disappointed at all ? the food is amazing, the servers are amazing & you see nothing but smiles the whole time you’re there !!“

“We stumbled upon Flying Saucer while visiting Chicago and are glad we did. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is fun with nice indoor and outdoor seating options. The staff were friendly, helpful and on top of it. This is the type of restaurant I wish I had in my neighborhood. If you’re in the area it’s a must visit.“

“Great quality food with a Latin twist. Servers were friendly and helpful as well. Would love to come back and try other items that looked good on the menu. Also recommend getting the side of fruit. It was all fresh and a good sized portion.“

“My friends and I, had breakfast here today and the service was awesome. I was seated quickly, and had many items, to choose from on their menu. The waiter was super nice and friendly and checked on us a few times to see if we needed anything. The ambiance was great, the food was fresh and a lot of it. I took my leftovers home. Thank you Dem and staff for a GREAT service. Take care“

“This place is amazing. We came here for my daughter’s birthday and one they went all out for her. I highly recommend this place. Michelle was our server and she was super sweet. This place is great. And we visited from Minnesota which made it extra special they all went out of there way. Thank you.“

“Been here a few times for breakfast and it's ok. We ordered the skirt steak skillet and unfortunately it lacked flavor. We tried adding salt and pepper but unfortunately it didn't help much. The service was good even though it was pretty busy. The coffee cup had lipstick most likely from previous user.“

“A GREAT cafe. Food is fresh and delicious. For breakfast, the brunch sandwich (with avocado, eggs, onion and dill) is terrific. The apple pecan French toast with homemade vanilla sauce is spectacular. The Vegetarian omelette and oatmeal with granola and brown sugar are also worth writing home about. They like serving fresh fruit! A real gem.“

“I almost never leave reviews, but I order from here way more than I care to admit. I have not been inside or eaten there, I’ve only ordered via delivery, but I have never been disappointed! The food is really good - very tasty, still arrives hot, they are open late, good portions, and not too pricey. The enchiladas and flautas are my main goto.“

“Whenever I'm in Chicago I search for hidden gem foodie spots. I mean Chicago is literally foodie Heaven. We didn't dine in because we were trying to prepare for an event but I'm kind of glad we didn't. It's small and dark inside, and I felt like the tables were too close together. But they made up for it all with an AMAZING breakfast. I got the gyro skillet. Absolutely delicious!! The picture does it absolutely no justice.. I never thought of gyro as a breakfast item and now I know I need it often. There were huge portions of meat and amazing tzatziki sauce and nobody will ever call them stingy with the cheese because for every bite I got delicious feta cheese chunks mixed in. It was amazing. The pancakes were basic, there was nothing wrong with them but I'm not going to reminisce on them. But that gyro skillet!!! I can't wait to get it again“

“Stopped in after an early appointment and was happy I did. The service and atmosphere were excellent. I was greeted cheerfully upon entering and immediately seated. I ordered coffee followed by a skillet that I customized a bit. It came out exactly as ordered. The seasoning was a bit lacking for my taste buds but nothing a little salt and pepper didn't address. The portions were substantial and I left happy and full with leftovers.“

“Brookfield Breakfast was recommended to us by a friend and let me just say that the wrap I had was phenomenal! I ordered the chicken Cesar wrap with sweet potato fries and my husband ordered the chilaquiles. Everything was so fresh and perfectly portioned. We will definitely be coming back!“

“My favorite breakfast spot in the city, it's the kind of cozy diner where there are regulars sitting at the counter, the coffee refills are never ending, and the food is not only delicious but almost half the price compared to most breakfast restaurants. I can't recommend it enough.“

“Coffee was delicious, and so was the blue berry pancakes. The eggs floritine are made with fresh spinach, and topped with creamy hollandaise sauce. The service was spot on. Mentioned I liked the coffee and was offered a cup to go. Definitely making this a regular stop.“

“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.“

“Food was good - highly recommend the pancakes. Nice portions...I couldn't eat it all. Our waitress was great. She was on point, attentive, & engaging. First time here and glad I saw it. We were on our way to a chain breakfast spot and I saw this place and wanted to give it a try.“

“Somewhat quiet place to get a meal. Tried their shakshuka and was pleasantly surprised with how good it tasted. The staff were incredibly hospitable and were very helpful with answering questions. Their house made jam was also amazing and went really well with the English muffin.“

“I ordered an order from DoorDash. GREAT food. Nutella Crepe was amazing. So many great items. Rebecca who answered my call and took excellent care of my order. She thought of the tiniest details for my order. Coffee cups came individually wrapped so they don't leak. Orange juices and ice waters came in trays. This restaurant is great! Can't wait to visit again and go there. Thanks Rebecca for being amazing!“

“This restaurant is a classic, comfy, corner place to get breakfast or lunch. The food is delicious and the menu has lots of classic restaurant dishes... may I suggest the chicken kabobs ?.It's so nice to just sit in a booth and enjoy a cup of coffee with a friend.Wonderful place!“

“SO GOOOODDDDD first when we went in their service was so good they got us to our table fast and it was my brother's birthday and they singed happy birthday to him to best place I have gone in a while I definitely recommend going here ❤️“

“Courageous Bakery and Cafe has some solid breakfast and pastry choices. My husband is a huge sucker for breakfast burritos and I am a huge fan of buttery, flakey biscuits. Courageous has both so it's a win-win for us! Besides breakfast, we would typically order croissants, cupcakes, and/or 4 inch birthday cake to go. None of those have disappointed us. The only downside is the horchata loca latte was somewhat mediocre in which both horchata and coffee flavors were underwhelming.“

“The food is sometimes great and sometimes you order a Benedict and get medium (closer to hard) yolks in the poached eggs and curdled hollandaise sauce like I got last Tuesday. When it's good, I'm a fan. But of the last 5 times I went, 3 we're good and 2 were bad. Also, if you are a tea drinker, don't order the hot tea. They bring it loose leaf with no way to remove the tea so it is already really over steeped before it even gets to the table and by the time you have it in your cup it's mostly tannins.When it's done right the province Benedict is delicious.Vegetarian options: The province Benedict is avacado, wild mushrooms, and tomatoes smothered in hollandaise on a flaky croissant. Not vegan, but a delicious vegetarian breakfast.“

“First visit, will not be our last. Big parking lot, cute decor and very clean, we were immediately greeted and felt very welcomed. The food was fast, delicious and generous. The homemade complimentary soup was excellent and I would go back just for that. It seemed clear to me they are taking a lot of pride in this place and that always makes me want to support a business. We will definitely be returning.“

“Been coming here for a while, food is always fresh and good!I always ask for Erika because she’s always on point with the orders from what I have been receiving.I’ve also had Dishawn and he’s amazing as well!It does get busy in there during lunch hours but you won’t be disappointed in the end!“

“I ordered through Uber eats and let me tell you, SO GOOD. I ordered a breakfast burrito but added special instructions for everything to be on the side because I wanted to assemble my own burrito. I ordered it this way because they only had one type of breakfast burrito on their menu so I ordered other things on the side that I also wanted to add to the burrito. They followed my instructions to the T and they give good portions! I would definitely order again or even dine in if I was in the area! 10/10 would recommend!“

“First time here and was not disappointed! ? The service, the food, and the atmosphere was absolutely amazing! Our server was so sweet, she took such great care of us. We had the strawberry mimosas, a skillet, and the breakfast burger. (Not the actual names of the dishes) Burger was cooked perfectly and the skillet was delicious too. This place is huge! We were able to walk in and be seated right away.“

“I work at Lyons Township High School right across the street! I treated my coworker for her birthday. We ordered the Deluxe Skillet and a BLT Wrap, order was ready at the specified time.., friendly greeting when I arrived. Everything was really good, my BLT wrap was loaded with bacon! It came with a soup and a side I chooses frost fruit.“

“Another small cozy spot in the area. Your regular American food with a little south American mixed in. Can't complain, used to go here when it was under another name and then another before that but a quick lunch or breakfast is what they will deliver on.“

“First walking in my boyfriend and I were skeptical because the restaurant was empty but our experience with the food was fantastic. My boyfriend got the steak chilaquiles and they were phenomenal and I got the chicken and waffles which were crispy and flavorful. The Bloody Mary was a hit and the only thing we ordered that was lacking was the vanilla latte. I would recommend to friends and go back.“

“Las Brothers has been a staple for decades. They have an extensive menu sure to satisfy any craving. I've been visiting Les Brothers for the last three decades, and I can honestly say I don't think I have had a bad meal. Highly recommended.“
