50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Riverside

“I have the avocado lotto and it was plenty so much that I have enough for supper. The fruit was fresh and plentiful. The tunafish and cottage cheese were excellent. The patty melt with onions was cooked perfectly. It came with a cup of soup and a generous portion of coleslaw. We will definitely come back here again.“

“We stopped in today on a tip and what a delicious treat! Highly recommend!“

“Delicious food, excellent service, noisy outside (not Brother’s fault) but inside looked crowded and not as bright on this beautiful day.

Chicken and chorizo skillet was our favorite; thanks to the waitress who recommended we order the skillet version (instead of omelette version). The hash browns at the bottom had a nice crisp, and the dish itself had nice flavor - especially with the red hot sauce.

The steak fajita omelette was also good but humongous, so I didn’t even come close to finishing it (especially since I added a side of bacon).

Heads up: the cappuccino came with a sweet foam on top. Husband’s coffee was constantly refilled.

Service was friendly and attentive even though we were the only ones eating outside.

We were only visiting Chicago but would return to this restaurant. It feels like a local place (ChatGPT helped us find this gem, but I wrote this review myself :)“

“Went to the Chicago Waffle House in Willowbrook with friends today Had the best skillet-The Short Rib Skillet- Fantastic with Lavazza coffee not to mention great service. We’ll be back soon“

“This is an amazing & food is always good! They just added outdoor seating so our puppy could join us.“

“So I visited this place at least three times with a carry out order and customer service was awesome first time. Second I decided to go due to the good food and definitely the customer service, again awesome. Third, I enjoyed my food as always with recommendations from the young lady ( forgot her name). All three times I was either on crutches or knee brace. They were so sweet they helped me with my food to car an even told me to pull up to place and they’ll have my order ready for me! They were very nice to help me and for that I’m grateful. They went above and beyond. They made sure I was taken care of. So I brought my daughter there and she agree with the great customer service. Thank you guy so much. We will see you guys soon.“

“I was a steady customer but will not be returning to this establishment again. Today I asked to sit in a booth and James, the owner said "We're too busy to sit one person in a "big" booth. (I was the only one waiting for a table.) So the waitress wanted me to sit at a table. The "big" booth seats 4. The table they wanted me to sit at also seats 4. The only difference is the booth doesn't hurt my back like the hard chairs do. I'm dying of cancer, which James is aware of, I have enough pain I don't need any more by sitting on hard chairs. Well he won't have to worry about being so "busy" to let someone have some comfort he's got one less patron. I'm done with this place.“

“Food is all homemade ... chilliques are so good with red sauce To die for... The burgers are HUGe.... so delicious.... the fries are like no others and I personally never order fries. So they have to be good.... I did substitute the salad for the fries and was blown away how tasty it was... I mean I'm talking salad right!! Please come visit this beautiful restaurant and tast the real homemade goodness.“

“Thank you Laz for such an amazing breakfast! We were very impressed with all the food and of course you coming out and speaking with us was just an awesome experience!“

“If you plan to cater or have a dine-in party, ask for Tennessee Hot fried chicken. Ask far in advance. Juicy and tender meat, crispy skin when served straight from the fryer. Flavorful. Chef Larry's off the menu specialty was a hit for our party of 13. BYOB.“

“Such a great restaurant. The food is fantastic and the service is great. The food is hot and delicious, you won't be disappointed with what you order. We stumbled upon this place, had breakfast skillets (hot sauce is delicious!) Came back the next day for Cuban sandwich and another skillet. The coquito latte is a must!“

“Absolutely incredible food and experience. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of amazing flavor — you can truly taste the quality and care in every bite.

Chef and owner Omar deserves huge recognition. His passion for great food really shows, and it makes this place special. One of the most delicious meals I’ve had in a long time.

Highly recommend!“

“This place is awesome.. everything is wonderful here. you definitely won't be disappointed.“

“I am from Los Angeles and went to visit family around the corner from Don's. This diner took me back to a time when the food was hearty, well priced, and to die for. I love me some chili from Don's with cheese and onions, all the breakfasts they have, and the cheeseburgers with fries. The patrons were more than happy to make room for our huge party of 9, and the service is just as good. The cooks and servers dishing up great stories and great food. I wish I had a Don's around the corner from my home that I could walk to, any time of the day or night.“

“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.“

“I loved this place! The Cinnamon Roll Waffles and the Ham and Cheese Omelette were absolutely amazing! The staff was great as well. I will definitely go back when I'm in town again.“

“Food was delicious. They serve large portions. Staff is super friendly. Atmosphere is great, loved the mixture of background music including soft rock.“

“Fun, down to earth, good food and the owner rocks!“

“Had a wonderful breakfast here while in town. One of the most hospitable restaurants I’ve ever been to! Waitresses Anna Marie and Debbie were so pleasant and made us feel like family. The gentleman up front (I’m assuming the owner) was accommodating to a special need we had and was so sweet. Our new favorite breakfast spot! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I placed an order to go. Was informed that there was a $3.00 to go charge and a gratuity would be added on the order cause it was over $100.00. After I checked the receipt, $18.35 was the gratuity. I thought it would be maybe $5.00. Very disappointed. Had I known this, I would have come into the restaurant and ate there had them provide me with service. I am a senior and that was definetly not right. I've already instructed my family not to get me gift card from Maple and Jam.“

“We had a large group just before lunchtime on a Saturday, and they were great about squeezing us in. Our server D was amazing, truly, and the other staff were helpful and attentive, too. The food was delicious, hot, fast, priced affordably. They have a large menu. We had some special diets in our group and there were enough options for them to find what they needed. I definitely would return and would recommend it to friends.“

“Food was incredible very yummmmm“

“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“

“I had the best omelette there today. Fabulous!!!!“

“I just recently started going there since last year. No negative reviews here. Every single experience has been great alongside with the food. When it’s your birthday, the staff sings to you. You pay what you get and it’s worth every penny. Keep up the great work Alexander’s!! As busy as it gets: even when people are standing room only: it goes by quickly and the staff greets you with their kindness and smiles.“

“Very good Food but very expensive for the food they make need to lower the price and make it affordable“

“I love going here!! Any time I am in the Chicago area, I find Egg Harbor. They are accommodating with large groups, service is great, and best part is the ability to order a wonderful, filling gluten free breakfast! Never had an issue with finding something to eat or it not tasty. Highly recommend stopping by.“

“Savanna Restaurant is a fantastic new brunch spot in the neighborhood, with friendly employees, delicious food, and a relaxing atmosphere.“

“Stopped here for breakfast, 1st time and I would definitely recommend it. The service was excellent and the food was great (real, fresh, hot, cooked to order)! I had the sampler with oatmeal pancakes and they were delicious!!! My other options included the chicken avocado crepe and Mediterranean omelette. The coffee was good, it came to the table in its own thermal to stay hot. I highly recommend!!“

“This was the first time at this First Watch. It is great there is a bar seating option as the waves of people waiting for a table were constant. The food was delivered hot and as requested. Definitely a great add to the OPRF restaurant cohort!“

“So long Sprinkles. I have a new favorite cupcake bakery —Courageous Cupcake. They are moist, delicious and made with fresh quality ingredients. The employees are super friendly and kind.“

Keep up the great work!
