“Thank you very much to my host and waitress Janet! Your service was lovely and my cup of coffee was never empty! Additionally, the silverware was streak free and seemed clean even after I wiped it with the napkin! Thank you kitchen, bussers, and everyone else involved working behind the scenes!“

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

“Food was amazing and prepared with care. Meinl Coffee is a huge plus! We will return.“

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

“I cannot put into words how wonderful, hospitable and welcoming this place is. I was welcomed in by the owner Samantha, young respectful young lady, she took my order she made me feel at home. I felt as though I was eating brunch at my Abuelita’s home. Thank you Samantha and family for the warm welcome- the red chilaquiles and cafe de olla we’re phenomenal and I will be sure to be back with my babies and husband! I mentioned to Samantha I was treating myself for my birthday and she brought out a cinnamon role with a candle meant the world to me!“

“Went today for the first time. Food was fresh, generous portions, priced right and tasted amazing. I ordered Breakfast Quesadilla. The homemade salsa had some heat to it. Bacon cooked perfect. Best OJ I’ve had in a while. I’ll definitely be back Keep up the great work“

“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.“

“Great food and great service. I will be back for sure.“

“There’s a Dunkin’ across the street. You could, BUT you just missed a smash breakfast, that you DESERVE! You work hard you deserve better, you’ve earned it. Obviously. Brothers is a hidden gem in plain sight. At the corner of Sacramento and Belmont. Have a seat, or grab to go. Home quality cooking and plenty of it. No regrets from my experience. You won’t either. High marks.“

“One of my favourite breakfast spot! They have grits!!“

“Very friendly and excellent service, highly recommended.“

“I literally had the best pancakes I’ve ever had“

“Good food, ambitiously and beautifully served, but not great. Staff is welcoming but misses important requests such as removing food items that can cause allergic reactions. The place is minimally equipped for a restaurant with such an ambitious food presence, enhancing the notion that food is overpriced: a good remodeling is strongly needed.“

“Veggie fajitas were fresh and delicious. Everyone in our party of 6, enjoyed their meal. Great graduation breakfast.“

“Great brew!! Pancakes were the bomb!!“

“Adorable place!! Food was delicious and the server was great!! Would definitely recommend! 5 stars ⭐️“

“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.“

“The food and the services is amazing! Will always be one of my favorite spots to eat!“

“I honestly need to come here more often because I live so close. Sun Rey Café is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Chicago. It’s Black- and Filipino-family owned and operated, with great service and even better food. Highly recommend!“

“Family owned and operated for over 60 years!
Been going there for over 30 years
Always been made to feel like I was at home
Food is on point, service is attentive and atmosphere is inviting
Love this joint“

“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.“

“Caribella is a must TRY spot for anyone in the Chicago Land area looking for authentic & delicious meals.. I will definitely be back 👍

Salvador & Miguel are an exceptional Father / Son Dou..

This place won’t let you down!

Thanks for the service“

“Súper recomendado exelente atención rica comida todo rápido los precio muy bajo hay 10/10“

“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!“

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

“I’m giving this place a 5 because the food was really good. However, I do have some suggestions at the end of my review.

I had the chilaquiles verdes with chicken. I’m Mexican and I can say the chilaquiles tasted very authentic and delicious. I had a good amount of food, especially chicken and again it was very good.
My husband had the carne asada and it was also very good.

The owner, Don Ernesto was very friendly to everyone who walked in and was accommodating to a customer that asked for his food to be cooked in butter and not vegetable oil.

My suggestion is that the drip coffee not be $3.99 a cup and that they use the same coffee because one cup was good and the other was spicy tasting.

I would come back again and recommend it.“

“Classic diner experience with amazing food. The pancakes are always reliable, the omelettes are great (Spanish Harlem is favorite) and the coffee flows freely. Healthy portions fuel you up after a long workout or before a big day. Service is good and they easily accommodate big groups. Recommend for a casual morning or afternoon!“

“Food and service is a 10/10“

“Great atmosphere and best Greek omelet ever!!“

“This was our first time here and we had Alejandra as our server. She was amazing!!! Not only was the food good, the service was great. She made us feel welcome during our visit. We will definitely be returning based on the experience we had.“

“The Cherry Pit Cafe, in Deerfield, IL, is an outstanding destination for breakfast or lunch, if you are looking for delicious food, a large and varied menu, and a cozy environment.Their service staff is warm and welcoming, and the restaurant is a fun step back in time with its nostalgic decor. I highly recommend it⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Flew in from CA for a concert (stayed at the Sonesta nearby) and needed a hearty brunch before my flight back.
First Watch exceeded expectations and over delivered. The place was bustling, we got seated promptly and our server was so nice and was always smiling :) The barbacoa chilaquiles were 11/10 and the french toast was 11/10. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“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“

“Delicious! Fresh ingredients in the omelets, fluffy pancakes, real OJ with light pulp. Friendly staff, very clean (bathrooms, too). Prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity, and less than some other places we researched. Highly recommend!“

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

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

“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“

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

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

“Delicious food and friendly service!!“

“We love Le Peep! It is a chain but feels like a nice, local hometown spot. Good food and nice portions. All of the staff are lovely and food comes out super fast!

Thanks especially to Hector who is a great server, though they're all great. We will (per usual) be back!“
