We go often for breakfast here at Big Apple in Plainfield. Food is always good. The biggest problem is the waitress staff yelling at each other. There was almost a fist fight between two of them on our last visit. Very unprofessional. You know that saying: I went for breakfast and a fist fight broke out, it applies here. Its not an enjoyable breakfast when the waitresses are fighting with each other at the top of their lungs for the whole restaurant to hear. They are always nice...

Please add a BIG APPLE ? to the top of your sign outside because fr years we have lived in this area and kept going by!!
The little sign is NOT enough to get people to want to turn off tht fast paced road.
Once inside we were like "WOW...why didn't we ever come here?"
This place BEATS any other restaurants by far for miles n miles n miles!!!
I mean, just look at the pictures and you can see the quality and the selection...
