“By far one of the best breakfast joint in the area 😋 🙏 💪“

“We ordered take out. Our wait for delivery was an hour. The food was cold. We did not receive syrup, butter, napkins or silverware. One order was missing the grits. One order was missing the potatoes. The potatoes that were delivered were under cooked and the onions and peppers topping them are raw. For $70+ we expected better.“

“My favourite place ❤️ First Watch is my absolute favorite place for breakfast! The food is always fresh, perfectly balanced, and delicious. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is super friendly. Every visit feels special. I especially love their coffee and seasonal dishes — you can tell everything is made with care.“

“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.“

“After my mom’s doctor’s appointment, we hit up Stax Cafe for breakfast since it came recommended. The vibe was cool—simple but nice. I walked in ready to find something to talk about, but they didn’t give me any real issues.

I was about to complain about the coffee prices, especially if I added flavor or non-dairy milk. Instead, I stuck with cream and sugar, and honestly? The coffee was fire. Didn’t need anything extra.

Both my mom and I ordered skillets, and they were on point. I tried to find at least one thing wrong, but the food was solid. Only thing I’d suggest is bumping the skillets up to three eggs instead of two. Besides that, everything was great.

The hostess was sweet, and our server—pretty sure his name was Frank—was amazing. His section was near the restrooms; we were seated up front near the end door. Nov. 24th. I’d definitely recommend Stax Cafe.“

“This diner was small but nice. The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. There was no wait when we arrived about 12pm on a Saturday. Food was delicious I wanted to order everything on the menu. The food didn’t take long to come out maybe 20mins. The atmosphere is nice my only reason for 3 stars was it was a little crammed and cluttered and the bathroom was in the back with the freezer and it was a line. But I would definitely return“

“Sumptuous egg omellete , I will highly recommend. Thanks for the good breakfast“

“Delicious food and friendly service!!“

“great service!!! the hostess was very polite and professional 👍“

“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.“

“Unique experience. Right portioned and so taste! Very non traditional menu and superb environment.“

“Great atmosphere and best Greek omelet ever!!“

“We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at the Lake Forest location when we were in town for our daughter's U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command graduation. By far the best place we ate when we were in the Chicagoland area. I gave it a nod in my book and encourage anyone visiting Great Lakes to stop there with their sailor during liberty.“

“The potatoes were soooooo good. The best I’ve had in a very long time. The chicken sand which was very flavorful“

“Great food, great location!! 🍳☕️“

“You will love it. Greatest omelettes ever“

“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!“

“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.“
