“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!“

“By far one of the best breakfast joint in the area 😋 🙏 💪“

“I’m giving this place a 5 because the food was really good. However, I do have some suggestions at the end of my review.

I had the chilaquiles verdes with chicken. I’m Mexican and I can say the chilaquiles tasted very authentic and delicious. I had a good amount of food, especially chicken and again it was very good.
My husband had the carne asada and it was also very good.

The owner, Don Ernesto was very friendly to everyone who walked in and was accommodating to a customer that asked for his food to be cooked in butter and not vegetable oil.

My suggestion is that the drip coffee not be $3.99 a cup and that they use the same coffee because one cup was good and the other was spicy tasting.

I would come back again and recommend it.“

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

“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⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Some of the best brunch food in Chicago! Amazing food and friendly service. Can’t recommend this place enough“

“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!“

“Excellent food and service with never having your water empty to offering more napkins and large portions. Thanks again and we will be back and going to try a lunch option next visit.“

“Excellent cut above breakfast/brunch located in the heart of Mt. Prospect. Indoor and outdoor seating. Very good parking around rear of the building. Indoor noise level is happy without being overbearing.
The menu is extensive with plenty of sweet and savory choices.
The crepes and French toast with fresh fruit are good choices.
I'm always looking for a special country fried steak. Found it here. Nice piece of beef, no gristle etc , with excellent tasty super crisp breading. Country gravy had the perfect amount of bite, however I added a little crushed pepper to taste. Eggs, hash browns, and sourdough toast to boot.
Topped off with a mimosa and LaVazza coffee for a perfect Sunday breakfast.“

“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.“

“This restaurant is really outstanding and really great for the image of Evanston's southern end. The food is fantastic and I very much enjoy everything from the Bacon Temptation Omelette to the Spicy Poblano Omelette to the Crispy Chicken Sandwich to the Cowboy Burger. All of the food is fabulous and very well prepared, the variety is wonderful, and the coffee is always fresh. And above all, Ivan and the waitstaff provide customer service that's 'above and beyond' in every way. They're very kind, compassionate, efficient, and accomodating to everybody who comes into the establishment. Keep up the great work!“

“Here right now on a relaxing weekday. Oatmilk espresso drink: awesome. Carnitas avacado black bean skillet: awesome. Service: awesome. Indoor, semi-indoor, and outdoor seating: awesome.“

“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“

“God bless Egg Harbor Cafe and all personal, The best service“

“Best scones! Excited to visit in February!“

“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!“

“Great food and the best customer service. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Nice breakfast and great location“

“this place is phenomenal ! I've been to several locations but nothing like this the dutch baby was perfect and the apple pancake reminded me of the one my mom used to make. very eclectic clean interior with extraordinarily caring and attempting staff memembers. highly recommend this location for the food service and atmosphere. it's not often I'm blown away but the dutch baby is a difficult thing do well in a resturaunt environment with a rush etc and they did a truly stand out job.“

“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..“

“Thanks to Emma’s Bagels for super fresh bagels and generous portion fish/salad trays for our grandson’s brit this morning.“

“Hands down one of the best breakfast spots I've been to in while. I first visited their Naperville location in 2021 and fell in love with the potatoes and pancakes. There can be a wait but I suggest making reservations or going before 11am. Even if you wait, its totally worth it.“

“I have to say this place was bussin! Ishmael our server was on top of the drinks, the food and service as well. I can't tell you as someone who lives on the road how much good service and food on the road is missing. This place though went above and beyond food came straight out the menu. Check it out“

“Excellent food, service and atmosphere! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“The waitress was really nice. I can't recall her name. She was working December 19th. In the evening. She did the best she could. The restaurant was out of a lot of stuff like the impossible meat but that wasn't her fault. She did a really great job and in spite of everything we had a great experience.“

“Thank you very much to my host and waitress Janet! Your service was lovely and my cup of coffee was never empty! Additionally, the silverware was streak free and seemed clean even after I wiped it with the napkin! Thank you kitchen, bussers, and everyone else involved working behind the scenes!“

“I have to say I like IHOP the all American diner. To me the food is always fresh. The coffee! And I’ve never had bad service. The Rosemont location is always busy. Everyone always very friendly. I still think they have the best pancakes so if you’re looking for the all-American diner, it’s still IHOP and would I go back most definitely
Good food, reasonable prices one of my favorite breakfast places!“
