Michael L.

I am a semi-regular diner from the time Alexander's opened in Saint Charles. This morning I was very pleased to see and enjoy Gindos Hot Pepper Sauce once again. It had been absent for some time. It is superior to the common brand sauce made with similar peppers. Beyond the quality, Gindos is locally made, in Saint Charles, in walking distance to Alexander's and Rookies across the street. As much as consumers support local business, local businesses should support each other.

Carnitas pork tacos. Outstanding! As always service is exceptional as well. Thanks Alexis!

We went for a late breakfast. The service was fantastic, Thanks Cristina! My carnitas breakfast tacos were full of pork, egg, cheese etc.. I had a few exceptions and replacements and they were made just as I had asked. Kudos to the cooks and kitchen staff. The restaurant had a warm ambience feeling, along with a nice temperature, which is needed in the Midwest winters. Thanks to all the staff for an enjoyable Christmas Eve meal! Linda G

Warm Apple Cider

Delicious brunch, cozy atmosphere, and fantastic service. We came around 12:30 pm and were seated immediately, very attentive service without feeling rushed. The warm apple cider was so comforting, and the mimosa flight (pineapple, blackberry, strawberry, and classic) was excellent. Steak Huevos Rancheros was tender and flavorful, and the Flapjack breakfast was very filling. Generous portions, reasonable prices, and absolutely worth the drive from Chicago. We'll be back just for brunch!

This place was great! It's like an upgraded version of Panera vibes, and the breakfast is fantastic. Good choices for everyone in the family. We found our breakfast place!

Mexican Omelette , Fruit, Sourdough Toast, and brewed Coffee.
Dining O.

We had a delicious brunch at Alexander's Café on Main Street in St. Charles Illinois. The coffee and meals were beautifully prepared, hot, and generous in portion size. The service was excellent, very friendly, courteous, and fast. The dining area was clean, well maintained and beautifully decorated. One exception, however, was the decorators choice of hanging two pictures, neither of which were pleasant to look at. One was of Batman's Joker with a disgusting mouth, and the other was from the Movie Jaws with a man's tongue hanging out, and the shark about to attack him. Not something we would've expected in a breakfast cafe, and not pleasing to look at. Overall a wonderful brunch experience.

It's nice, but very over-hyped. Sort of middle of the road food, service, everything. Lots of teenagers on staff.

10/10. Building was very clean, very nice bathroom with multiple hooks. Food came out hot and fast…read moreand staff was friendly. The cheezy beef on garlic was amazing and had a great price. Would recommend!

Four stars, and the food alone is five. The Italian sausage dipped was excellent, and the two…read moreChicago dogs were the best I've had here, because this time they were char-grilled instead of boiled. This was my third time ordering the dogs. The first two were boiled, like most Chicago dog places do it. This time I asked at the drivethrough if they'd run the dogs through the grill the way they do the sausage. First answer was no: "it makes them taste bad, they get all blistered." But then when i confirmed this is exactly what id like, he said "I'll do it for you this time, but they might not next time." I appreciate that he did it. But I didn't love being made to feel like a jerk for asking for something simple, and the premise is wrong. Boiling a dog adds nothing. Fire adds flavor. That's the Maillard reaction, it's why nobody eats a sous vide steak straight out of the bag without searing it, and it's what Michelin kitchens are built on. The concept dates back when humans figured out how to start fires. The results backed it up: the charred dogs were sensational, vastly better than the boiled ones I'd had before. If I owned this place, I'd make "char-grilled" a standard option on the menu and on DoorDash tomorrow. Blindfold 100 people and hand them one of each, and I'd bet 80-85 pick the char. The boiling tradituon was born out of convenience and cost, not flavor. If the answer had been no, I'd have skipped the dogs entirely, and if this really is a one-time favor, I'll stick to the sausage from here on. Water dogs are a no from me-a Chicago tradution that should be retired.
