Breakfast Restaurants near Skokie

“The Challah French toast is AMAZING! We loved everything we ordered. I’m only taking away 1 star because the coffee was pretty terrible. When your food is next level, please serve coffee that is up to your clearly incredibly high standards! Intelligentsia? Metropolis? We have so many great local choices! But, overall, fantastic experience! We’ll be back!“

“Kosher restaurant with delicious food! They have a pretty large menu with many choices. I always get the tuna melt on a onion bagel(which is really good).They have deserts and ☕️ coffee both very well worth it!Great little restaurant I highly recommend ?“

“I love being there, I've always been at this place since I was a little girl, and now I'm still going here. I live in a nother area, when I can I go to the one in Skokie. There is no other place around here ? about that.Parking: In the morning ? it's good ? but later on it gets very busy, just for 1 hours and then it gets very busy again for the rest of the day and nightKid-friendliness: Very friendly peopleWheelchair accessibility: I have just seen wheelchair space in front, about 4-5 space other wise find a place near the entrance“

“Best huevos rancheros I've ever had. The Burrito Delight was amazing. The mocha latte was on point as well. The waffle was so fluffy with real maple syrup, and the daily special French toast was a great treat as well. I highly recommend this place.“

“Always incredible - one of the best breakfast sandwiches in the city (I get the pablano/veggie and add sausage ? - which was a staff suggestion). Everyone who works there is friendly and engaging! If they had a yearbook, I would write, "have a cool summer - don't ever change".“

“Hands down one of my favorite breakfast/lunch spots in the city. Great food and service. Cute, quiet place. I just love this place and can't say enough great things about it. I drive out of the way for this place because it is worth it.“

“Tribu is a great Breakfast spot! We have been there twice now and have enjoyed our meals each time. Today my Eggs Benedict was spot on. I asked for my bacon crispy and that is what I got. Breakfast potatoes are nicely seasoned. My spouse had an omelette and really enjoyed it. Check Tribu out, we want this neighborhood gem to stick around.“

“This was my first experience here. The menu options threw me off, especially the French toast flavors. I’m a plain Jane when it comes to food. But the taste!!!! I am a convert. The food was amazing. The staff is friendly and the owner is great. The vibe is next level. I live in the south suburbs but will travel here again.“

“The owner was so welcoming, the staff were very kind and attentive, and the food was amazing. We were given samples of the oatmeal shakes, and I regretted not ordering one because they were sooooo good…but I had already eaten my meal. Will definitely be back when we are back in town!“

“BMBC is a great neighborhood-y restaurant. It’s comfy, the decor feels very homey, and every time I go there, everyone is smiling. They have waiting areas in and outdoors which is so great. I’ve been to many restaurants that don’t have waiting areas at all and it can be awkward. The service is always outstanding. my husband and I have been lucky enough to have Jenrry as our server a couple of times and he’s always very polite and quick, always making sure we have what we need and answering our questions (I had questions about their gigantic juicer, lol). Last but certainly not least, THE FOOD! I’ve tried many things, never had a bad meal here, but always come back to the french omelette. The drinks are also always amazing (the coffee is always great). I usually bring out of town friends here and they always love it. See you soon, BMBC!“

“Came here on my lunch break and I enjoyed everything! Surprisingly it was not too busy for a Saturday late morning so I was seated immediately. Both the host and waiter were very kind and attentive. Although I was on phone, there was some nice music playing in the background and dining area was very neat and clean. Lots of windows allowed plenty of natural sunlight as well. I'm looking forward to coming again to try the chilaquiles or sandwiches. I had the waffle combo which hit the spot and the waffle was perfectly crisp but fluffy inside.“

“Popped into this place for a brunch during our latest Chicago trip. Yummy! Very enjoyable experience!! Eggs prepared exactly as ordered, potatoes had terrific seasoning, and the whole dish was so warm and welcoming (hash)!! Other key takeaways...cute tabletops, extremely clean, and a friendly staff to boot. So glad we chose this spot. :)Kid-friendliness: My son who is medium picky also enjoyed the hash and ate all three bacon slices as a side!“

“How does one even begin to describe the diner? Everything about it is perfect. We’ve been coming here almost every weekend for the past year, and I guess I’ll start by saying that it has literally the best breakfast food I have ever had. No exaggeration. The best breakfast I have EVER had. Everything is perfectly cooked, fresh to order, and so delicious. I’ve been to some other places recently, and while they weren’t terrible, they did make me appreciate just how good the breakfast here is. Also, I’m not even sure how it’s humanly possible, but they always manage to get your order to you within minutes of it being placed. The quickest service I have ever seen. Drive thru speed, but at a sit down restaurant. The staff is wonderful; the environment is wonderful; we absolutely love this place! And we’ll keep coming back! 10/10“

“k bendición, such a warm and welcoming atmosphere! i love that as a spanish speaker i felt right at home while also receiving the best of both worlds cuisine. service was jimmy johns kind of crazy fast and the food was absolutely delicious!! certainly a step up from your regular diner! would highly recommend?“

“The restaurant provided a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was inviting, and the fries were exceptional, boasting a delicious seasoning. While the skillet dish was tasty overall, it contained a bit too many onions for my liking. Nevertheless, it was a delicious meal overall.“

“So sorry the pic tells it all.. the food was amazing ? nothing left and forgot to take a pic because when the food came out we didn’t stop eating lol ? the coffee and service was on point. Our waiter Julian paid attention to us and our creamer “

“By far the best food we've had in Lake Geneva! Kid's breakfast was generous, and the adult breakfast options were delicious, as well as filling. Our only complaint is that we didn't find this sooner--we would have eaten here every meal! The service is prompt, place is clean and bright.“

“Wow, this place is AMAZING? Great service, hopping atmosphere, and every single one of our dishes were delicious. We will be making this establishment a regular breakfast place during our Chicago visits! Food ordered was: Breakfast burrito Croissant Sandwich Buttermilk pancakes with a side of crispy bacon!“

“I moved from Niles to the south side of Chicago about 8 years ago and it's comforting knowing the food here has not changed! Still as delicious as I remember and owner has kept the prices fair where other restaurants are price gouging. Love this gem of a place. It's hard to find good food with quality ❤️?“

“Took the family out for Sunday breakfast and we were excited to visit this spot. I was looking forward to the Llpingacho Benedict, which I was so curious about. The flavor was very good and unique with the potato cakes and grilled tomatoes. Surprisingly, the most tasty item we had were the pancakes. My son ordered the oreo pancakes and I had a bite of it. I was floored by the rich taste and texture of the pancakes. I'd return just for those. Before ending this post, I cannot forget to mention that they have outstanding service and hospitality. Check this spot out, you won't be disappointed.“

“Love this spot! Smaller cozy diner, super casual easy spot and great affordable prices. The staff are always hands on, they’re all attentive and friendly. My go to breakfast here:Scrambled eggs with cheddar cheeseExtra crispy bacon with hot sauce to dip in (don’t knock it till you try it)Oatmeal (made with water for non-dairy diners)My husband usually gets the chilaquiles and they’re some of the best he’s tried.Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian options“

“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.“

“Breakfast at 11:00! Yes! Love a Sunday late breakfast! This is the place to go for breakfast! I haven't tried their lunches yet. My breakfast was a veggies skillet. The potatoes were the best I've ever had, nicely seasoned and crispy. Veggies included were spinach, “

“It's Egg Harbor! Quality across locations is notoriously consistent. Good and interesting food selection, with stellar staples and a rotating menu of specials, plus periodic changes to their main menu.I have enjoyed Egg Harbor in other locations for decades and I have no complaints about this one. Staff is persistent cheery and imminently friendly. Food and ingredient quality is consistent and always on par with other quality brunch joints. You won't necessarily find the most experimental items in the world here, but they do push out some interesting specials.Prices aren't cheap, but always on per with restaurants of similar quality and actually have not increased as massively as others with inflation. They treat their staff notoriously well and I have personally seen a guy I like go from a busboy with low English competency to a floor manager. Gotta love that.Dietary restrictions: The staff is ready and quite willing to adjust menu items to accommodate any dietary restrictions they can. They aren't heavily focused on this and probably can't, for instance, guarantee they've eradicated all traces of gluten from most meals, but they are glad to do what they can with no stress.Parking: The parking lot is a bit of a pain to navigate due to its design, but you can park both in the front and back and you'll never find yourself lacking.Kid-friendliness: Egg Harbor is Notoriously kid friendly. I can't speak for kids who behave catastrophically poorly, but I went to another location for most of my childhood and they were both kind and accommodating.“

“Great quality food with a Latin twist. Servers were friendly and helpful as well. Would love to come back and try other items that looked good on the menu. Also recommend getting the side of fruit. It was all fresh and a good sized portion.“

“Tempo is a busy breakfast place in the The Gold Coast. The food is always hot and delicious. The skillets are enough for two meals if you add 2 more eggs at home. The Waffles and Pancakes are delightful. Even the lowly grilled cheese is pretty terrific. Only drawback is that it can get pretty loud inside.“

“Glad we finally tried this place after seeing it on check, please. Cute, cozy atmosphere. Our main waiter took our order & we didn’t really see him again but the other wait staff were nice & helpful. Food was solid. I enjoyed the ham they used in the eggs Benedict & I like my griddled pancake. The gravy for the biscuits & gravy was decent but a bit salty & I wasn’t a fan of the biscuit they used. I’mGlad I ordered it as a side rather than the main dish. I ordered decaf coffee & didn’t get it til halfway through the meal. Street parking was free on Sunday which was nice.“

“This was a great experience. The atmosphere was great and the service was to. I am a person who's experience is largely influenced by the service and this did not disappoint. Our waitress was very personable and made sure we has a pleasant experience. She's the one from Costa Rica, if you go their.The food was very good. I had the steak and eggs and the steak was cooked perfectly as I ordered.I hope they keep up the quality of service because if they do, I've found my new regular breakfast spot.“

“Always a great experience here. It can get crowded on the weekends but I never have waited a long time to sit or for service. The food is very good! They have a lot of different options including fun shakes! My favorite is the southwest omelet! I loved it as a skillet and tried is as an omelet and fell in love! They have lots of fun pancake options as well. Good meal options with lots to offer making it not that expensive!“

“A GREAT cafe. Food is fresh and delicious. For breakfast, the brunch sandwich (with avocado, eggs, onion and dill) is terrific. The apple pecan French toast with homemade vanilla sauce is spectacular. The Vegetarian omelette and oatmeal with granola and brown sugar are also worth writing home about. They like serving fresh fruit! A real gem.“

“I've been a loyal patron of this place for practically my whole life, starting around 1980. The food here never disappoints, always delicious and consistently good with a massive range of offerings from the expected breakfast and diner sandwiches to my favorite 30 different skillets. And, their coffee is far from the usual diluted fare or overpriced options.It's a family-owned gem, run by folks who are straightforward, sensible, warm, and smart. The quality of their food, the service remains consistently high. They are always courteous and a pleasure to interact with, many having cultivated their own dedicated customer base within the community.“

“Been here a few times for breakfast and it's ok. We ordered the skirt steak skillet and unfortunately it lacked flavor. We tried adding salt and pepper but unfortunately it didn't help much. The service was good even though it was pretty busy. The coffee cup had lipstick most likely from previous user.“

“Been meaning to stop in and finally had a craving for a good burrito. I was not disappointed! Great fillings in a lightly grilled tortilla, accomplished by delicious sauces to add some zing. It's served cut so you can enjoy it as a sandwich.And I saved room for a generous serving of flan that was amazing. It was firm and delicately textured rather than the overly smooth custard that I've experienced elsewhere and had a wonderful flavor that I really enjoyed.Do yourself a favor and try a visit. I'm going back, and I bet you will too“

“My family and I went today and the service was amazing! There was this friendly old man server who was so kind and always asked if we needed anything. He was super sweet and made sure we got everything we needed. The staff is so friendly and welcoming to everyone. The food portion is so worth the price as well! Definitely they don’t skip out on anything. I highly recommend having brunch here and will be back again with my family!“

“My favorite breakfast spot in the city, it's the kind of cozy diner where there are regulars sitting at the counter, the coffee refills are never ending, and the food is not only delicious but almost half the price compared to most breakfast restaurants. I can't recommend it enough.“

“Pete's Grill is the best breakfast and lunch place ever I have yet to have lunch here yet but every time I have breakfast there I always go for the sausage Patty egg and cheese on wheat hands-down, the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had in Chicago,“

“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“

“VERY clean establishment. Very friendly staff and great vibe. Food was AMAZING very flavorful and tasty. I went with my sisters for our annual sister trip and this place was hands down the best food we have had in Chicago. Would definitely recommend and will always come back!!!“

“Original plan was to go to The Little Goat but there was over an hour wait, Breakfast House became plan B. Turns out it was a great find. The staff works hard to provide fast service so the tables turn over regularly and it was easy to get seated. The menu has a latin flair and all the portions were huge and the food was delicious. Even the coffee was excellent.“

“I almost never leave reviews, but I order from here way more than I care to admit. I have not been inside or eaten there, I’ve only ordered via delivery, but I have never been disappointed! The food is really good - very tasty, still arrives hot, they are open late, good portions, and not too pricey. The enchiladas and flautas are my main goto.“

“Can NOT say enough good about this place! EVERYTHING was fabulous!!! It started with my breakfast cocktail (an Ecuadorian Canelazo), of which I'd never heard of before. It was DELISH! A little too sweet for me until I squeezed the lime into it... I picked the Llapingachos Benedict because it was also something I'd never had before. And BOY, was it DELICIOUS!!! The chorizo was some of the best I'd ever tasted and the eggs were poached SO PERFECTLY! It was like ART on a plate... The service was GREAT and the restaurant was bright and airy. It was an overall WONDERFUL experience. Would NOT hesitate to come back!“

“I think that the coffee here is some of the best that I’ve had and my friend says that he thinks that they have the best bacon in all of Chicago. The waitstaff is friendly and kept our water and coffee cups full. My bacon waffle was perfect. This is a really good place for brunch or breakfast. You won’t be disappointed.Vegetarian options: They have a veggie omelette, oatmeal, toast and a few other things that I didn’t pay attention to because I got the veggie omelette w/ hash browns.“

“Service was very hospitable! Food was actually tasty from the eggs to the potatoes! Why they give 2 cinnamon rolls as a side is too much of a good thing! Coffee stayed filled. Thank you!One thing is the small packets could be replaced with a sugar Shaker and creamer cup.“
