“The food was delicious! Nice portions. I had the Cajun Hash special. Wow! The service was excellent and everyone there was cheerful and attentive to you. Loved it!“

“The food was OK... I had a steak sandwich and onion rings. The steak was shredded but tasted good. The waiter was there but didn't get an order correct. Not bad service but could have been better. Give people time to look at the menu and don't be afraid to refill beverages a little quicker. Good place if you want good food quickly. They nailed that part.“

“**Best restaurant!**
This place deserves to be a five-star restaurant. I remember coming here as a kid with my mom, and now that I’m older, I had the chance to bring my wife for the first time. We had a wonderful time! Even the owner’s son works here, which adds to the friendly, family-oriented vibe we loved. A big thank you to Daniel for the excellent service! I highly recommend this spot to everyone—it’s perfect for both date nights and family gatherings.

Kid-friendliness: It’s just very nice in here even the set up to the people just the whole environment! It’s a vibe!!! One of the best spots in Chicago!“

Dietary restrictions: 5-stars. Oak milled was offered with oatmeal. Got my toast as ordered, with no butter. Shellfish allergy was noted.“

“Solid breakfast spot! A large menu with a lot of options for breakfast - skillets, omelette, pancakes, eggs, etc. I had the lumberjack skillet which was delicious and had a generous portion of meat and potatoes.

It absolutely hit the spot for breakfast cravings and I would recommend to anyone looking for a sweet or savory breakfast. Prices are typical for the area and service was quick!“

“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!“

“"What a charming and cozy neighborhood breakfast spot! We had the large three-stack pancakes, which came topped with fresh strawberries, as well as eggs with corned beef hash. We also ordered ham and eggs, both of which came with a generous serving of potatoes, bell peppers, and onions. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! The portions were so big that we even had leftovers to take home. The total came to just under $50, which was more than reasonable. We'll definitely be back. We really loved this place!"

“THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! I got the Vegan Egg Substitute sandwich with the soy chorizo and it was so good. I haven’t been able to eat eggs since I became intolerant to them and this was so satisfying. I know Brioche has eggs in it, but the bread doesn’t bother me.

I will absolutely be returning. The service was friendly and the setting was clean.“

“I ordered through Uber Eats (Didn't let me review). It didn't look that good arriving because the food was slid to one side. But the food was perfectly seasoned and delicious with generous portions. First time trying their food. I ordered the Honey Bacon Brussels Hash, it was delicious. Savory, a touch of spice just right. Salted Caramel Holey Donuts were good. Looking forward to trying more.“

Clean. Good food. Moderately priced.

“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.“

“Met some friends for a weekday breakfast. I've been going to this location for many years, when it was Eggshell, but this was my first time visiting under the new Scrambled ownership. The atmosphere is lovely, big, comfortable, and easy to get a table. The service was great...fast, attentive.

My only complaint is that my Cali Bacon Avocado Scrambler was way overcooked. The bacon was painfully hard and crunchy, the eggs were dry and so mixed with other things that it was like tiny bits vs normal scrambled egg chunks. I could barely taste them over the grilled onions. It was topped with a tiny bit of avocado slices...like one quarter of a mini avocado, and the cheese was mixed in sporadically.

The prices have gone up a lot from some of the menus posted...see the black background one that lists this item at $15.50. It came with a choice of potatoes or fruit, and toast or pancakes. I played it healthy with fruit and toast, both of which were good. Overall...nice place, would not reorder this Chef's Choice item again, and the prices seemed high for the quality of the food.“

“I went here for the first time last weekend and it was great! It was busy, but we wanted a booth so we waited a couple minutes and one opened up. The interior is very cute and retro with lots of fun decor on the walls. I ordered the 2x2x2 and the pancakes were super thick and yummy, and the eggs were some of the best over medium I’ve ever had, no exaggeration. My brother got the patty melt with fries and the free cup of soup- what a steal! The server was friendly and prompt. My only slightly negative is that it was a little warm inside for my preference, but it was a super hot day when I visited. If I’m in the area, I will be back!“
