    Two eggs scrambled with hashbrowns and bacon
    John K.

    We've driven past here before and finally stopped for breakfast. Overall, had a very positive experience. Staff were very friendly, service was excellent, and each of our eggs, hash browns, turkey sausage and bacon were all really good. Overall, a cozy breakfast joint that's a solid choice for breakfast if you're in the area.

    My husband and I went to Red Apple Pancake House on a Sunday morning. We met two friends there and had a really nice breakfast. It was busy but not crowded. The servers were very nice and attentive. I liked that ther was a calm and relaxed atmosphere. I ordered the chocolate chip pancakes and my husband ordered the three bread French toast. The pancakes were plain with some chocolate chips sprinkled on top. The three bread French toast gave you the opportunity to try the banana bread, cinnamon swirl bread and crunch French toast on one plate. For a traditional tasting breakfast in a cozy environment, I recommend Red Apple Pancake House.

    Beef Country Fried Steak and Eggs, create your own sandwich, and skillet
    Oliver Y.

    Just like grandma used to cook!! Place was packed on arrival, waited 5 minutes. Sat near the kitchen so I was able to see everything being served. O man, I wanted everything!!! 2 people ordered enough for 3.5 people. The build your own sandwich did not even have a chance! That was inhaled in 30 seconds (croissant, egg, cheese, sausage patty). The country fried steak came either chicken or beef, went with beef, yum!! Skillet, I look down then looked up, gone! Wait staff was super friendly, from the gentleman that sat us to the waitress that waited on us, all awesome!! Will be re-visiting!!

    Massive portions. Really good food. Nice, homey atmosphere. Only open for breakfast and lunch. Lots of variety. Decent prices. Plenty of parking out back. Gets busy on Sunday morning, but they turn over the tables pretty quick. Service is good and fast. I've had their decadent stuffed French toast and pumpkin pancakes, but my go-to healthy brunch option is the Slim Sarah for $8.79 from the Healthy Corner. I get green tea with it, and it comes with a fresh lemon wedge. The meal is egg whites cooked with fresh spinach and mushrooms, served with fruit cup and dry English muffin. Sounds healthy, but the portions are MASSIVE. So I eat the whole thing and am totally stuffed. The bread comes with both marmalade and strawberry jam, and I also add butter to it, so it's totally delicious and probably not that healthy. The omelette was a bit bland, as egg white only omelettes tend to be, so I added Cholula hot sauce and ketchup and salt and pepper to jazz it up a bit. Fresh fruit cup didn't look as fresh in late October, but it was still sweet and tasty. Definitely highly recommended as a favorite brunch place in Palatine.

    Greek Omelette
    Diana L.

    Came here on a Saturday with some friends. Friendly staff and good food. The portions are a decent size as well. I always end up taking half home which is nice. I usually order the vegetarian or Greek omelet. My friends usually try one of their skillets. I've come on a Saturday two times, and both times I didn't have to wait. Other places nearby I would probably be waiting for an hour or more on the weekend.

    Sometimes I think my reviews are pretty redundant. I tend to get similar things wherever we go. My diet is somewhat limited so I guess that makes my eating a little boring sometimes. Unless we go out for some sort of ethnic foods, I typically get a burger and fries. At Red Apple, that's what I ordered - a "chubby burger" with fries. The burger, I would guess, was about 1/3 pound. I was served as I ordered it - medium. The meat was good. The fries were tasty. The lettuce and tomato were about what you would expect right before winter, not great. The onion was good. They give you a very warm greeting when you first arrive. And, it is clear they have their regulars and their favorites - greeting them by name when they arrive and giving them the "special" treatment. We saw an elderly man come in - he could barely walk. The owner came out and helped him to his regular table. That was really nice to see.

Chappie's was a random pick for us to go have brunch at while we were in the Palatine area. Chappie's had been on my list of brunch restaurants to check out. When we got to the restaurant it was peak lunch time and the restaurant was almost 3/4 full. We got seated promptly. We took our time to look at their menu and decide as they had a good menu variety. We ordered drinks in the meantime. I got a regular coffee and a Chappieccino (cappuccino w/ Chappie's face, Chappie being their family dog, a Corgie). We ordered a Bacado Omelet w/ a side of pumpkin spice pancakes instead of regular pancakes and hashbrowns, a Huevos Rancheros, and a special of 2 Eggs x 2 Pancakes x 2 Sausage links (instead of bacon). I had the Bacado Omelet which had bacon, avocado, scallions, cheese, and I asked for chopped jalapeños which did not have an up charge. The omelet was good. I liked the way it was cooked. The hash browns were cooked to perfection. They were exactly the way I like them, crispy and soft. They also have me a fried green chili pepper (Chile Toreado) on the side which added a nice spicy taste. The specialty pumpkin spice pancakes with pumpkin puree whipped cream was really delicious. I loved its taste. The Huevos Rancheros was the best dish at the table. It was perfectly cooked with two fried corn tortillas, eggs over easy, fried beans, red salsa, and cheese. It tasted great. I liked it more than my dish. The special of 2 Eggs x 2 Pancakes x 2 sausage links was tasty as well. We had a good experience and would go back. Definitely recommended. Check it out.

The place was not busy so we were seated immediately. We got the Filipino menus as well as the traditional. I ordered a side of Garlic Fried Rice and a side of 2 Eggs Over Easy and the Ube Pancakes. The 3 guys each ordered the Tap-Si-Log and Garlic Fried Rice and a couple orders of the Filipino Lumpia. Let's start with the Garlic Fried rice, it was good and had crispy garlic bits in it. It was good but typical. The Ube Pancakes were pretty good. You can taste Ube flavoring and it was large. I liked the Ube Cream drizzle. The lumpia was crispy and a decent size. I was told it was good and the sauce was tasty. My friends said the Tap-Si-Log was just ok. By the look of the meat, it didn't have that caramelized sauce on the meat and in my opinion that's what makes or breaks the dish. The looks confirmed my assumption as I was told that it was just ok. The service was good as we got seated quickly but it went downhill from there. First, when our food arrived as it was being placed on the table, one server decided to hand it across the table and stuff in the plate fell into my friend's lap, good thing it was just the vinegar sauce that was in a container. But way pass the plate from across the table? and the person didn't even apologize. Next, the server only came by once to refill our waters once. It's not like it was busy. Then when the server finally came, it was just to plop our check on the table and didn't even ask if we needed anything else or how was everything. The staff just sat at the bar talking as if they were the customers. We wondered if they were coming over to take payment and as we tried to get their attention, they avoided looking our way. We finally got the attention of a staff member and let them know we wanted to pay and he told us we had to go to the front. Yet, no one was there. We stood there for about 2 minutes. Lastly, two people were sitting next to us and orders were taken but it seemed like it took a long time for their food to come. They tried to get the staff attention and they were ignored. Finally, someone came over and gave them an excuse that the system went down and had to be reset. What's the excuse if not checking in them? Maybe the staff needs to be reset. The food was average and the service was terrible. I wouldn't come back to this place just cause of the service. It is too bad cause I'd try other things as well.

They just don't seem like they want to be there, and it is just a bit off putting. Having said that, we do occasionally still stop by. We have ventured out to try stuff that's NOT waffles. The kids liked the small quesadillas i think-- not greasy and nice plain flavors, easy to please the kids. My oldest really liked the tuna melt and it was good, and generous portions. Easy to split with the other kids. The ironman in comparison is so tiny and not worth the price-- which is really just paying for the "health" aspect of it. I get it.

And Baker's Square closed YEARS ago in SoCal. Missed their pies and baked goods! So imagine my (pleasant) surprise when I found this little place in Palatine!

My waitress came right away, and I ordered unleaded (decaf for those in the know). It came in a little pot, ala IHOP, and was really, really GOOD. Wow. Decaf has come a long ways from the Sanka days! I ordered the INN-CREDIBLE V.I.B. which allowed me to order 4 yummy items of my choice - I chose the french toast (yummy and spiced just right albeit w/room temp syrup- not a deal-breaker but notable), a strawberry crepe (totally awesome strawberries, but the crepe was a bit colder than expected); scrambled eggs (always a nice stalwart) and two turkey sausage links (as with the frenchie above, nicely flavored!). The ambience was modern, updated, and felt welcoming and (thankfully) a bit familiar. Brought back some good ol' memories even if only the Baker's Square part of the menu was just pies nowadays. But the Village Inn lives on! And that counts - and I'll return. You should check it out too if you enjoy a good brekky at a classic American diner!
