Great location, easy aces from street with ample parking. I was pleasantly surprised that the once former restaurant that didn't make it has become this wonderful breakfast and lunch place! The service was very attentive and the items we had were outstanding! I thoroughly enjoyed the generous omelette with a good combination of cheese and vegetables. You have several choices with your entree for a side. I chose the potatoes which were slightly crispy with slight flavor of bacon flavor and right on. The surroundings were typical of a breakfast place pleasant and comfortable. It was busy but the food was moving and they kept up with the crowds. I would highly recommend it and hope you enjoy your visit. read more

This was a wonderful surprise. We had heard about it and had kind of mixed it up with a different breakfast and lunch place. but this was amazing. The staff was so inviting and welcoming and warm in the hospitality was extraordinary. The food was out-of-this-world delicious with really nice flourishes and large portions served with such friendly kindness. Absolutely delicious and fun and upbeat. read more

I was a little worried to try this place because it is owned by Rookies, which is not exactly my speed, and because the location seems to have bad luck in terms of holding a restaurant. Nonetheless, Alexander's was fantastic! It completely changed by mind from the get-go, as the restaurant is well-appointed with bright colors, trendy decor, and a surprisingly quiet atmosphere (thank goodness!). We barely waited for a table, despite the clear crowd at the front door. Our waitress was attentive, though not overly friendly, and the food was excellent. I ate the turkey burger and fries and thought it rivaled that of my former-favorite (and no longer available) from a competitor in Geneva. The fries were delicious, and I really enjoyed the potato pancake, even if it was a little undercooked in the center. It looks like the hubs and I have a new local brunch place: Alexander's. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a large menu, tasty food, and a great atmosphere. read more

While waiting for tires at nearby Fox River Tire, we walked to Alexander's for breakfast. My rating is for superb Breakfast Tacos along with the service provided, which though friendly and responsive lacked . Flour tortillas, lightly crisped, held some very good and spicy chorizo; topped with scrambled eggs; sour cream cholula drizzle and topped with a nice slice of avocado. The employee that came with our items apologized when I informed him I didn't order the burrito he brought. So, while my husband began, (or his would have been cold) and I waited another 15 minutes, 2 more employees came over to apologize. How nice . When we got the bill, both the burrito and the tacos were on it. So....after a few more apologies we waited while the bill was corrected with no offer for even minimum recompense, (could have removed the 1 pop) packed up the 2 uneaten of the generous serving of 3, paid, left an 18% tip and departed. This could have been 5 stars! read more

5 star breakfast!!! I love love love coming here for breakfast! I always get the Farmers Market skillet with a side of pancakes. The skillet is perfect, the pancakes are amazing (I really think it is the cinnamon butter that does it!). I can't testify to anything else on the menu as I always get the same thing. But everyone I make eat breakfast here has been impressed. I will say that friends who have had lunch menus items were not as impressed and I have also been told the bacon is a bit too salty by a couple people. Stick with breakfast items and I doubt will be disappointed! read more

My family and I frequent this restaurant. It's very close to home and the food has never disappointed. The hot chocolate is very rich and creamy. My daughter and I usually order that and water in the winter and lemonade in the warmer months. We almost always order breakfast food there that we can't replicate at home. My husband always orders their french toast, my daughter gets the mickey mouse pancakes off the kids menu, and I try and mix it up a bit. Most recently, I tried the breakfast burrito which was massive! I got it with chicken chorizo. It was delicious and made for yummy leftovers the next day too. Their eggs Benedict options are all delicious as well as their skillets and omelettes. Definitely try this place out! They aren't open past 2:30pm though. So definitely aim for brunch time. read more

Great food! Great service! Large portions and meat from Reams Butcher Shop is very good quality. read more

We stopped here to today for brunch. We had an opportunity to many more things than usual. Alexander's had some great kids options that appealed to both kids. My youngest ordered both the Cheeseburger Melt and the S'moreos Pancakes. My other child like the Melt so much she stopped eating her Eggs Benedict and orders the Kid's Melt. Both gave it 5 . My friend ordered both the Chicken Salad Sandwich ( subbed a pretzel roll) and the Creme Brûlée Oatmeal. He thought both were good. I had Avocado toast which was ok but I would try something else next time, the toppings were sparse as you can see by the pics. The sides of fruit were fresh berries and watermelon which was a nice surprise. There are a variety of options for both breakfast and lunch. The waitress was nice and the restaurant was clean. There is a good variety of options for both breakfast and lunch. Parking can be trickier on busy days. Try to park in the back it's easier to get out from there. read more

I ordered eggs over medium an the yolks were semi hard, other than that, everything was great! Great bacon, service and one of the best biscuits I've ever had. I will be back! read more

This place is awesome! My husband and I have become regular customers. Why? Simply put, food is great, service is great, prices are fair, and the owners are very nice. What more can you ask for?! Oh wait, how about using local fresh market meat from Reems market in Elburn, using Oberweis ice cream for shakes, fresh squeezed juices, Intelligentsia espresso bar, and the mouthwash and lotion in the bathroom... yes! What a great idea! My breath won't smell like onions when I leave! read more

Was pleasantly surprised with this place that I pass all the time. Brought my toddler with me who ordered his bacon extra crispy and they didn't disappoint. He polished off his breakfast. I got the banana foster Pancakes which were good but needed a bit more sauce that they promised. Food came out super fast! read more

Alexanders Cafe - Bananas Foster Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Saint Charles, Illinois

This was a place I have been wanting to try. I feel it has potential, but needs to work out Some kinks. Kids did not feel good he pancakes were as good as other breakfast places. That is a basic must fix issue. We were there in March. and it was a warm day. It was really, really too warm for the temperature outside. Most of the food is pretty good and the portions are enough to share. I want to try it again sometime! read more

I don't usually write reviews, but Alexanders warrants one. The atmosphere is wonderful; the decor is modern and comforting! Even though the restaurant was packed, the Staff was friendly and attentive. We ordered the Mediterranean salad with chicken skewers and the reams market burger. The chicken skewers were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The burger was simple but delicious and very filling! The sweet potato fries were to die for...probably the best we've ever had! We finished off with an oberweis Oreo and cookies and creme milkshake, which was the perfect dessert. Will be back again tomorrow (...it was that good!). Update: it's so good that we've come to eat here almost every weekend! :) read more

Great food, impeccable service. This is our new favorite breakfast place. Alexis's service was the best in years.

Best breakfast burrito I've had! Glad for the experience right before lockdown. Service was very nice and quick, didn't feel rushed even though we were enjoying brunch until it ended at 2:30 (if I recall). Good food and good cocktails. read more

Their chicken salad sandwich is amazing! Pair it with some sweet potato fries and you'll be set!

Consistent. The berry salad is delicious. Just a diner feel. They do a lot of things very good, but nothing over the top great. Subpar breakfast in comparison to Brunch Cafe which is located in St. Charles and Roselle. So for lunch and dinner, this is consistently decent to good. For breakfast, not even worth it. read more

Wow! Food is always perfect and the staff amazing! There is normally a wait on Sundays, but soooo worth it This is an extra special treat for my husband and I on cheat days. read more

Stopped by on a whim. Should have known we found a great place when they told us there was a 20 minute wait. Well it was definitely worth it! Best breakfast in the area!! Can't wait to go back and try something different. Just fantastic!!' read more

What the heck? What an experience every time we go. The greatest people there. The food is fantastic for a killer breakfast. Pancakes are a must with the cinnamon butter hot and delicious. Don't think twice if you've never gone. Alexanders is the best breakfast and lunch cafe in the Fox Valley. read more

Absolutely love this place! The food is always amazing and their orange juice is so good. Favorite breakfast place ever.

This is the one place is just have to go to when I'm in town! The Berry Good French toast happens to be amazing. Wait times are quick, staff are friendly and the food is fast. This is by far the beat breakfast place I've ever been to. Thanks Saint Charles! read more

This is my wife and I's favorite breakfast spot in Saint Charles. Everything on the menu is fresh cooked so well. He wait staff and girls working the check in counter are all very nice and wonderful at their job. The best part of the menu is anything that specifies the meat is from Reems butcher house. It's a local butcher that always has exceptional choice cuts. Don't get me started on the cinnamon butter for the pancakes!!!! That is without a doubt my favorite part. We go here couple times a month if not weekly for breakfast! read more

A friend and I grabbed a nice breakfast at Alexanders this morning. We both ordered the California Omelette with herb roasted potatoes and the French toast with cinnamon butter - DELISH! Our server was very attentive and friendly. I'll definitely be back to try the chicken and waffles, as well as the s'moreo pancakes because... I'm totally looking forward to not being able to fit in my pants. read more

Very happy to see an upscale alternative for a family meal other than Colonial Cafe. And with Cocktails! Great wait staff great menu from breakfast to lunch and reasonably priced. Contemporary decor clean and new. I ordered the grilled fish tacos and they were wonderful. My hubby ordered the Ruben and he said it was very good balance of meat and sauce. Enough to bring home for later. Great fries!! Only downside is getting into parking lot from Main St (North Ave) and we wish it was open in evening. read more

I love this place. Nick isa great owner. Kendra is amazing. She's my favorite waitress. The other staff members are food as well. Food is always hot,fresh and good. read more

My favorite breakfast place in the Fox Valley area! I love the one room, openness of Alexanders Cafe. Service is always fast, even when it's a full house. Prices are average. They have the best coffee I've ever had at a breakfast place! read more

This area does not have a shortage of good breakfast spots (in my opinion), and Alexanders has now made our official rotation! We have been here for breakfast 3 times now, and each time it was delicious. The food is fresh, the prices are reasonable, the menu is large, and the service was great. I even got to-go coffee today - our poor waiter saw us up early with an infant and toddler and he just knew I needed that :) read more

Amazing food, excellent service, great atmosphere. The Alexander omelette is delicious and filling. The coffee is phenomenal!

When we pulled in to our hotel, we saw the Alexander's restaurant, and relaxed, because we knew we'd have a great breakfast. Not only did I get the first oatmeal brûlée that I've had since New Orleans, but also fresh blackberries and strawberry slices! We both ate big for about $20. This is a great travel stop. read more

Usually very busy - which means it is highly enjoyed by the public - very family friendly and the staff is well trained to handle the chaos of families every morning. Great food too! read more

Stopped here for breakfast on Labor Day. Restaurant was very busy, but checked in on Yelp and were seated within 15 minutes. Fresh squeezed OJ was delicious! Order came just as requested, food was fabulous!! Daughter ordered the tropical fruit and yogurt in the pineapple, and she enjoyed it very much. Will return!! read more

AWESOME place. Picked this place online as we were going to Kane County Flea market. Really happy we did. The Biscuit Love suggested by our waitress Carolina was fantastic. My daughter had the country breakfast and it was huge. Service was great , staff really friendly. The owner walks around to check on things. Awesome experience and will be back for sure. read more

I love going here for brunch!! Great food, good service and clean restaurant! Some of my favorites are the tuna melt, the chorizo breakfast tacos, avocado toast and biscuits and gravy. I have never had anything I didn't like here. read more

Went for breakfast. Food was good. Pretty standard breakfast fare. Relative but nothin g out of the ordinary.

Food at Alexanders is great but the service is lacking. I have to beg for the bill basically every-time. The wait staff just disappears.

There are about a half dozen or more breakfast options in St. Charles. This has become our go-to choice. Frequent diners. The entire family finds something to love. Eggs are farm fresh. Can get crowded, but we find online reservations reliable plus or minus 5 minutes. In addition to breakfast, try the Reuben. Mmmmmmm. read more

Rebekah is an awesome server. The food is awesome. Always a positive experience. Only once did I not like it because management was a little unhinged with the hostess as there was a little issue with the app crashing. read more

The Service, food, and atmosphere brings us back here weekly. (St Charles location) Coffee is great and there's a nice nod to film decorating the walls that leaves a sense of nostalgia. Definitely recommend!! read more

I like the menu, the service, and the coziness of a open room, windows, yet the ambiance makes it cozy. I especially like that I'm able to find vegetarian options that are absolutely delicious! The cranberry pecan pancakes are to die for. There's just a little extra something that I find special... The waitress asks if anyone wants anything else including a coffee to go. Well of course I want a coffee to go! And I love that I was asked. I will go back again to be sure. read more
