“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.“

“Wildberry Pancakes & Cafe was an outstanding dining experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the service was top-notch. My dad, who was visiting from London, was impressed with the variety and quality of the food, particularly the vegetarian options which were extensive and perfect for our halal diet. The highlight of the meal was the pancake with banana pudding and cream, which was absolutely delicious. Overall, we highly recommend Wildberry Pancakes & Cafe to anyone looking for a fantastic breakfast or brunch spot. The wide range of menu items and the attention to detail in both the food and service make this a must-visit restaurant. We will definitely be returning in the future.“

“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!“

“Friendly and fast service“

“The chilaquiles were excellent. I’d recommend them to anyone.“

“Ate here for the first time this weekend. My server has was a girl named Sammie and she was great! Very talkative and attentive. I got the homemade cornbeef hash with some eggs and sour dough bread. Was delicious. I took two pounds of burnt tips to go for a Super Bowl party I was attending that night and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them. I will totally be back to this place to try so many more things on the menu. Love it.“

“Great time. Good service and food and drinks.“

“Egg Tuck was absolutely amazing. After a few days on a liquid diet, this hit the spot in the best way possible. The eggs were silky smooth, melt-in-your-mouth delicious, perfectly flavored and paired beautifully with fresh avocado. The brioche bread pulls everything together — soft, rich, and just indulgent enough. I love how they “tuck” the sandwich into the cutest little box, and the sriracha mayo sauce is incredible. The space itself is spotless, the staff is genuinely friendly, and the easy digital self-ordering makes the whole experience seamless. Honestly, this felt like a K-drama sandwich moment — iykyk.“

“First time in. Good breakfast. Had the works, pancakes, eggs, hash browns, bacon, coffee and the waitress was super friendly. Great hospitality as well by other employees/ staff.“

“My wife and I celebrated our anniversary breakfast at Gardenberry Cafe, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how clean, friendly, and welcoming the atmosphere was. The outdoor seating was a real highlight—it felt so good to enjoy a quiet meal outside together. Now the food… wow. I ordered the fajita skillet and French toast—both were incredible. My wife had the deluxe Philly cheesesteak with fries and tortilla soup. That soup was out of this world, and everything on her plate was just as impressive. The service was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. Honestly, the only "negative" is that Gardenberry is 35 minutes from our house. If it were closer, we'd be regulars. But even with the drive, we’ll absolutely be back soon. Great place, great people, great food. Highly recommend!“

“We love Egg Harbor for the food, the service and the pleasant, bright interior. But please!! Bring back your Jump Start coffee!! 😋 That has always been one of the draws for me and I was so disappointed to hear it was not available any longer due to not having Kerry Gold butter or Coconut Oil. 😲😦“

“Today was my first time here. The atmosphere is great, the food is delicious, and my waitress was fabulous 😊. I had the crispy chicken wrap with housemade chips, cup of soup, and a dirty chai tea latte (iced), which was yummy and refreshing.“

“We found this place in our way to another breakfast place and decided to stop. 10/10 would definitely recommend. Best breakfast food we have had ever, restaurant is extremely clean, everyone working was friendly. We will definitely return if we are near Chicago again“

“We’ve had IHOP several times, and Roman is hands down one of the best servers we’ve experienced. We’ve been lucky to have him multiple times, and he’s consistently attentive, friendly, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. He checks in at the right times, keeps everything running smoothly, and always has a great attitude. Service like his really makes a difference, definitely one of the reasons we keep coming back!“

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

“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!“

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

“We had a great experience here! Even though there was only one waitress working when we arrived (about an hour and a half before closing), service was still quick and friendly. The food came out hot, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Our waitress was thoughtful enough to let us know the salsa had some heat, and even offered to put it on the side. It was definitely spicy but so tasty, and I ended up adding it to my dish anyway.

Overall, we really enjoyed both the food and service, and I’d definitely come back the next time I’m in town.“

“Edgar was an amazing server at IHOP! From the moment we sat down, he was welcoming, friendly, and very attentive. He made sure our drinks stayed full, our food came out right, and he checked on us at just the right times without ever being intrusive. You can tell he really cares about giving great service and making sure customers have a good experience.

Edgar’s positive attitude and professionalism really stood out and made our visit even better. If you’re dining here, I highly recommend asking for Edgar—he’s easily one of the best servers around. Thanks for the great service!“

“I had a very long day at work and I came to this Ihop and this food was very good and my service was amazing! My server was Ariceli and she was very attentive and checked up on me and had positive attitude. I can’t wait to go back to this IHOP.“
