I meet a few friends here every week for breakfast and we are always pleased to be here. Just an absolutely great staff. Excellent food. We are never disappointed. That's why we keep coming back.

Great breakfast experience. Danielle D took care of us like family. Food (pancakes and crapes) was delicious. What more you want from place like this? This is our new favourite BF place on Palatine!

Outside seating! We visit multiple days a week for breakfast for the great service, including an amazingly fast kitchen. Their potatoes are the best around--tender inside and crispy outside. One of our favs is the Country Fried Steak. Try the biscuits and gravy too!!!
Kid-friendliness: Always great to our kids!
