Not what I thought but I came to see what the fuss was about and there wasn't much fuss with the over baked French toast! No need for a box for this one they can feed to the trash and help feed one of the many stray alley dogs. Service 10/10 no dish to the staff or cooker great sides and other dishes I'm sure. But I was here to see the what the FUSS was about with this oven baked French toast that takes 12-13 minutes to cook my score of a FUSS 1-10 IS A MINOR FUSS you'd get from a 1 year old right after giving him his bottle he desperately wanted. So a 4 out of 10. read more

All is good in this restaurant. First, the place is big and spacious, it is clean and spotless and customer service is great! The staffs in here are friendly pays attention to details and attentive too. It is not my first time to visit this place and as far as I remember I've been coming in here since I was younger which I missed and only now is my first time to visit them after a long while. The atmosphere in this place is also nice. When it comes to their menu, they have a variety of different selection of breakfast and brunch selection at fair and reasonable prices. The food is served quickly. I ordered a Mexican skillet and pancakes for sides. I also wanted to share that the food in here has a nice portion and of course delicious. I definitely love their Mexican skillet and all I can say is it is so good, perfectly seasoned and definitely full of flavor until the last bite I had and the pancakes are perfect. This is so far one of the best spot for breakfast I know in this area. Everything in here is great from their food to their service and parking in here is easy as a pie. Highly recommended! read more

I like to do take out rather than dine in. I always order the basics eggs,bacon, sausage and pancakes. Always good and warm. Don't like that they charge for the containers for take out. read more

I thought this place seemed similarly to almost golden nuggets but half the cost.I thought this place had a comfort charm to it from looking at the menu photos on yelp before going in.But boy i was mistaken.My sister mentioned this place to me and we decided we will meet for brunch with my father.It looked very nice but when i first walked in there wasnt any comfort or a greeting.Just tables full of people and people waiting in wooden chairs and benches.It looked and felt packed.This congested feeling and anger with a touch of attitude from people wanting people to finish their food at a table.My sister suggested we should continue waiting and they told my father ,the wait is 10 to 15 mins(side note was a lie).The seats were taken up and parties of people who werent called shift into the empty seats of people whom moved.My father and i stood waiting and another customer was kind enough to offer his chair to me.But thank him and told him ill give the seat to my mother.My sister and her fiancee finally came in and we continued waiting.They were calling numbers out either too softly or overly louded.They (meaning the women at the front desk) skipped over my father's number.My father got up and walked to the desk.They informed him that my father is suppose to let them know when his "party was all here".How rude?Isn't that also is suppose to be their job?. The place was overly loud and overly booked with people.I was more appalled at the Waitress. I asked if i could have a vegetarian omelette but instead of having the egg,can i replace the egg with hashbrowns.I was already getting hashbrown and i was fine with being charged $9.25 for that.The Waitress flat out said No.The Waitress did not give me explanation nor supply me with other choices.So i got a tiny plate of hashbrowns on the side ($2.50,) and side of fruit (which was a tiny bowl) You couldn't even enjoy your meal while there was people waiting at the door staring at you and by your table .The only Star i am giving is the waitress kept coming to our table to filling our coffee up.No I would not give this location to any one i know,even my worst enemy! I've never been served a cup of coffee with a spoon already placed in it.That is quite unsanitary and we weren't even given a cup of water!People may say you could of left at any time but I was born up not to waste food! We live in such a modern world that restaurant establishments should be on top of their game for customers.Customers are investing their money into your pocket when in reality,everything this restaurant has everyone can do at home.So why dont i? read more

Me and my family have been going here for over 12years and it has always been great. Through the years I've had a few rude waitresses but that doesn't cloud my judgement on the overall experiences we've had there. My son has been going here with us since he was born and he loves the staff in this place. Service is fast and the food is great. If there is anything wrong with your food they will do every they can to make their customers happy. read more

Bless the best place before until they remodeled and now everything is over priced and they even charge there customers for water !!! Do you believe This shit?? No way, they can keep there business cause they will Fail when your not consistent like you use to be before you started charging for water in order to get your remodeling mo why back in your pockets ! You should never ever charge your customers for water !!! NEVER!!!! read more

I live in Indianapolis and was taking a trip to Chicago for the weekend. I'm not too familiar with the area so I used Yelp to find this restaurant. When entering we were greeted kindly and seated quickly on a busy Sunday (right after church). Jennifer got our orders in quickly and the food was delivered about 10 minutes later. The pancakes were phenomenal!! So many toppings to choose from! Wish I lived closer! read more

I have been coming here for over 10 years and have always loved the experience. The food has always been great and very friendly staff.

I had a meeting at 10:00 - so I pulled over for a quick breakfast in Stickney, IL. To my pleasure - I had a great, hot, fast breakfast at Alexander's. The hostess was pleasant with a smile and the waitress was great. I had my breakfast in 7 min and had two coffee fill ups during my meal. I truly miss this type of Chicago breakfast place. The whole experience is what I expect and Alexanders did not disappoint. read more

Love this place. Friendly staff. Very inviting. Sam the manager is a great guy. He keeps food moving in kitchen. It's been recently remodeled, very modern, great job. The place gets packed especially Sunday after church and the restaurant isn't very big but it's worth the wait. An added perk for me, I live around the corner so I can walk there. read more

Currently closed for remodeling, but probably the best breakfast place in Cicero/Berwyn/Stickney area. Great skillets & omelettes, waffles, pancakes...also, tasty burgers & sandwiches. Excellent staff & service! Can't wait to see what's new with the remodel. read more

My sister-in-law and I have been here many, many times before and everything was always okay-ish. Today was totally different. We were seated quickly. That was the only quick thing about our lunch today. We each ordered a patty melt and a drink. The drinks came, and there was a bug in my sister-in-law's drink. After what seemed like forever, we finally got the server's attention, and about 15 minutes later the drink was replaced. The food took so long for some reason that the party next to us (that was there a good 30 to 45 minutes AFTER us and at least four times our size) had already been served and were finishing up when our food finally came out. To my surprise, my patty melt was served with a disgusting blob of dried jelly from a previous diner on the plate. When I pointed it out to the server, she gave me a dubious, "Well . . . I could TRY to get you a clean plate." Seriously????? A clean plate is a big deal???????? I told her never mind, just give me a box. I couldn't eat it after seeing how dirty the dishes were. My dogs did appear to enjoy it, though. Then my sister-in-law asked for a box for her leftovers -- twice. She was ignored -- twice. I got up to get her a box and got yelled at by the waitstaff. So, I think that was our last trip there. It's not worth getting served drinks with livestock in it; food served on filthy plates; and being harangued for attempting to get a leftover box -- all the while waiting well over an hour for two simple patty melts! Never again! read more

Went here for lunch on a work trip. Have a decent amount of vegetarian options and give you a ton of food. No WiFi but other than that it was great! read more

I've been coming here for about 20 years now and try to visit when I'm in the area, 1-2 times a year. The restaurant has gone through some renovations, but the food and customer service are still great. My favorites are the patty melt and their soups are delicious! read more

A great little breakfast and lunch restaurant outside of the hustle and bustle of downtown Chicago. An obvious local favorite by the large number of people waiting for a table. If you're from out of town like me and looking for a place for some good food while you wait for your flight then this is the place for you. Don't let the large crowds scare you away. The employees work diligently to get everyone seated as quickly as possible. The service is quick. The people are friendly. The food is good. Highly recommended. read more

I've been coming here for years and they have always been on top of their game. They remodeled the place and it looks wonderful. The Sunday soup is amazing. Keep up the amazing work read more

This is a great family run place and never disappoints. It has become a weekend morning ritual to go and have breakfast together with my wife there. Reasonable prices and solid portions of well cooked food. The serve staff is so friendly and the kitchen is very fast. I really enjoy the Southern Benedict. I know there are dozens of breakfast places in the area, but you will find that tis place will become one of your favorites if you give it a try. Parking can be a bit tight, but that's par for the course in the area. Don't let that stop you. read more

We enjoyed our food and experience at Alexanders. We noticed that they didn't have flavor creamers, so hopefully they can add that to their tables. Our server was great and we had plenty of food. It is great for a family brunch. read more

The decor is better than their food. This place is over rated/below average at best. I don't understand why the Owner does NOT believe in TORTILLAS when 99% of their patrons & employees are Mexicans. And he serves several Mexican dishes. The owner also does Not believe in flavored coffee cream. Very disappointed and never going back. read more

Food was decent for breakfast, came out piping hot but the skillet that we had could have used some more seasoning. Out waitress, Ambet, was great. Very attentive and she kept the coffee coming. The food was better than a 3, but not good enough for 4 stars. We would come here again if we were in the neighborhood. read more

Since they reopened the prices seem to be higher,silverware and dinnerware and cups that they use now seem to be cheaper made quality the Reuben is not good anymore it seem like they changed the way they make it the breakfast food is still halfway decent but seems like they tweak some stuff in the wrong way I wish everything would have been the same before they were remodeled service is not as good as it used to be. I used to only go here for breakfast but now I go to a different place maybe one day I'll give them a chance again but for now I'm going to stay away from here. read more

Potato pancakes are off the charts! Never had them with sour cream and apple sauce but they were delish!

This restaurant is outstanding for breakfast and lunch. Why?: service and quality and price. Service The service is so fast that I have a suspicion they use black magic to get the food out so quickly. I routinely order omelettes, pancakes, or scrambled egg sandwiches, which take 5-7 minutes from the end of ordering it to it arriving on the table. My decaffeinated coffee mug is always being filled or topped off, too. Quality Sure, you're thinking if the food is fast that it's not good. Wrong! The food tastes perfect. The portion sizes are always proper, as well. Price The menu items are appropriately priced. They are priced at amounts that keep me coming back, week after week. Ambiance If you're interested in fireplaces and being serviced by several workers, eat at a restaurant that charges $18/plate; it's your call. This is a local restaurant with great appeal. The owners are pleasant, positive, which makes the environment inviting. It's clean, neat, and the decor looks good. This breakfast and lunch restaurant is a must try. You will not regret it! Berwyn? Isn't this in Stickney? South on Pershing is Stickney... Ah, who cares? Just eat the food, my fellow Spartans. read more

Alexanders is a "Greek Restaurant" in a meteropolitan area loaded with Greek Restaurants. I decided to stop in to grab breakfast before departing on an airplane flight. The exterior and interior is basic diner, a lot of elderly people shuffling in and out which to me indicates large portions at decent prices. The menu is typical for that of Greek Restaurants, a variety of omelettes, pancakes, breakfasts, sandwiches and suppers. I went with the sausage and cheese omlette with fried potatoes and wheat toast, my friend had a special with potato pancakes, eggs over easy and bacon. My omlette was quite good, very nice fluffly egg, properly cooked with cheese and diced sausage. Only bad part is that they used American cheese which has a waxy mouthfeel. Cheddar would have been better. The potatoes were thinly sliced and fried so that there were a lot of crisp pieces, which I love. Orange juice was fresh squeezed. My freinds potato pancakes were a little thicker than what I am used to, but still very good, nice clean flavor with a hint of onion. The cost of two breakfasts was 19 dollars. This is a good place to go for breakfast or lunch, clean environment, good solid food and good service. You could do worse.... read more

I went in to Alexander's last week with my family. We ordered our breakfast. Horrable service. Wife and i couldn't even get a cup of coffee. Everyone working had there cell phones and all you see is the waitress looking down on there phone. We get are food and it was cold. Save your money. Id rather go to McDonald's. I wouldn't even give my dog this slop. read more

Food is still the same as always, which is a good thing! Owners and servers are very attentive and make you feel so welcomed! My go-to breakfast spot! read more

My husband and I love this place, the service is so fast and everyone is friendly even when we came in 30 min before closing. I have been coming here for years and it is always good food and reasonably priced. I like that you can get 2 pancakes instead of toast if you wish and they allow me to switch mushrooms for spinach in the veggie skillet I frequently order. My coffee cup is always full and so is my belly when we leave. read more

Great and fast service! Definitely coming back! I loved how our waitress, Brooke, made it a priority to check up on my son and making sure he was taken care of. The dining experience was worthwhile!!! read more

Maybe I got spoiled during the year I lived in Chicago, but Alexanders didn't really impress me. Sure, we were seated right away (it was a weekday, so I would hope that would be the case)! Sure, our food came out quickly. But at the end of the day, I would only describe the experience as "A-OK." Once we were seated, we had to wait maybe five minutes before anyone dropped by our table. We were thirsty, so this irked me a little. She dropped off a water carafe, so we served ourselves with water. When the water ran out, it took quite some time for her to notice and refill it. We ordered and our food came out not too long after. I couldn't decide if this was good because we were hungry or bad because that means they didn't put that much time into it. I got the bacon pancakes and I was disappointed by the dough to bacon ratio. There was barely any bacon! I will definitely stick to my bacon pancakes from another local brunch place. Despite my disappointment about the bacon pancakes, I have nothing against Alexanders. I love how convenient it is and I'm sure I'll be back at some point for that fact alone. There was also nothing truly offputting about the food; this is your standard local brunch fare. The staff was also very friendly, which I appreciated. Also, they had lots of letters posted from kids, which I thought was a sweet touch. read more

I've been coming here for many years now. This is the best breakfast place ever. So many options and very nice staff. The owners are so welcoming. They renovated not too long ago and the place looks so nice. This place is always so clean. Eveeyrhongnis always organized read more

I went here with my BFF for lunch because the reviews were good & because it was a central location. The service was good... we got sat & served quickly. The dishes were dirty... really dirty. There were chunks on the silverware & cups. That should've told us something. But we stayed to eat. The food was decent. However, a few hours later & the BFF is stuck in the bathroom & I'm laying down trying not to throw up. No bueno! read more

This place has been my favorite breakfast place over the past 9 years, the salads are amazing, the French toast is very fluffy very tasty, skillets are awesome!! the plates are big portions. This place has amazing staff, there's this one man who yells the orders from the kitchen (I think he's a cook) it's not Alexander's if you don't hear him lol the waitresses are always kind and seem to be happy all the time. I've seen the same people work in this place from way back when I first came, Every time I go there it gives me a cozy feeling. Everything is good in this breakfast place, highly recommend it. read more
