I haven't been to Apple Villa is years but found myself back this morning as if nothing has changed. The omlets are huge and fluffy, just as I remember. The menu is pretty diverse with a little bit of everything and their specials also sounded great! It's located in a little strip mall and can be easy to miss but it's a great brunch spot - great food, service, and prices! read more

Apple Villa Cafe - Biscuit & Gravy, Crepes, Al Fresco Omlt - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Batavia, Illinois

I went here for the first time and honestly had a terrible experience. The service was really slow and the staff wasn't friendly at all. I ordered a large orange juice but got what felt like the smallest cup possible. The fries were cold and soggy, which was really disappointing. For the price, I expected way better quality. I also asked for my food to go, but it came in a flimsy paper box that broke as soon as I tried to use it. Overall, not worth it. read more

Apple Villa in Batavia is a wonderful spot for breakfast! The Denver, country, or chorizo skillets with pancakes are the perfect breakfast combo --so hearty and satisfying. The apple pancakes are their specialty. You can purchase them to go too. It's great that the service is good too, even if it gets busy on weekends; that just means it's a popular local gem. The servers are always nice. I can't wait to go back soon. read more

I've been going to this place for 10 years and never had a problem. Today everything had changed so much that I assume they are under new ownership. None of the wait staff seemed to know what they were doing, especially our server. Never smiled even when we walked in and she was seating us. Got my order wrong, said she thought I wanted something different even though I had to clarify three times what I was ordering, and then tried to overcharge me. I asked to speak to the manager who was extremely rude and aggressive. When the server brought my corrected check back I asked who the owner was and I was told it was the man I had spoken with. Obviously not trained in customer service. read more

The food was great! We came with friends and who said it's really good. My son got a BLT, my husband got a skillet with chorizo and so did my kids. My bacon cheeseburger was ok. When entering we were greeted by such a sweet woman. Our server was a nice young man. The owner gave my daughter some extra pancakes with a whipped cream smiley face. I will def be back and I will share with my friends. read more

Food - was very bland and not flavorful. Had to salt and pepper it in order to eat it. The bacon was inconsistent. First piece was great the rest tasted as if it had been set out buffet style for a while. Hash browns were frozen. Overall... eh. Service - decent. Very nice staff. Very young staff. (A contradiction to be sure). Ambiance - was decent. Looks like they put in work to make it appealing to all ages. Overall - was over priced for the quality and I will more than likely never come back :( read more

The service is not the best. They charge extra for specialty cheeses without telling anyone. They write down things incorrectly and charge more. The manager is terrible. She doesn't know how to deal with people and is inconsiderate. They told my mother to sign and tipped the awful waitress $11 my mom didn't even get the water she asked for until the 3rd time. Our order was incorrect and the manager was rude and the carpet smells. read more

In Batavia Hannah and Vicky are servers took care of our grandson's 25th birthday party today and could not have been sweeter and more loving and more attentive and went the extra mile and the food was perfect. Two great birthdays in a row because our grandson took us for August birthdays and they were equally wonderful. I have become your greatest fan and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. And thanks to my beautiful daughter who wound up sneaking the check to treat us all! read more

We've dined here many times, usually for breakfast, which is pretty good. We decided to go for lunch, finding the restaurant pretty empty. Our server was nice, but the service was the worst we've ever had there. She never came back to check on us until she dropped off the check, but if she had, we could have let her know that the bacon cheeseburger my hubby ordered, that had a ridiculously small piece of bacon, was undercooked. She never asked if we wanted refills of our drinks, even with the empty glasses sitting on the edge of the table. We had to ask for them. Even though there was a significant amount of food on my plate, yet she didn't ask if a to go container was needed. She was not great at customer service. read more

We went for breakfast and all 3 of us got different things and all three of us loved our food. Came quickly and fresh looking. Our server Ivonne, was so nice and very patient as we couldn't decide what we wanted. Clean restaurant and bathroom and plenty of parking. Not our first time here and it won't be our last. read more

YUM! Wow this was a great find! This was our first visit - we were seated right away - all of the staff couldn't have been nicer. So many options to chose from but went with an easy veggie omelet - it was SO good and plenty - I actually had for the next 2 meals! Partner had eggs and hash that came with pancakes - SO good! This is laid back place that is very clean, efficient and excellent - I am glad we came by and will definitely partonize often. read more

This is my first and last time I go to this restaurant! Food was terrible and super expensive. Our server would not check on us or ask if we needed anything. She would take so much time and when she did come over would leave so fast. When she brought the food over she dropped the plate, and the food touch the seat & table and did not change our food. She expected everything was fine and left the plate for us to eat. I had to wait again to tell her to please get me a new plate. Terrible taste and service. read more

We've been here a few times and have always been satisfied. This past visit my wife ordered their baked apple pancake. It was HUGE and very tasty. If it interests you, make sure you call ahead and order it as they suggest. It takes 45 minutes or so to bake. The staff is always pleasant. The restaurant itself can use a bit of an update. But it is fine otherwise. read more

Sunday breakfast at Apple Villa quaint diner with lots of different Tiffany style lamps throughout. It was our first time here, we used a groupon for decided to give it a try. The house coffee was delicious and I didn't know it was organic until the bill listed it was. They have loads of different pancake options and specials. They are only open for breakfast and lunch and can host private parties in their party room. Service was very good. Our table wasn't the cleanest it was slightly sticky and my knife was not clean. I asked waiter for other knife and she was great apologetic and quick. We had the chorizo no skillet skillet and breakfast flatbread. The food was great, prices are affordable, and made fresh. Definitely a place to check out. read more

Horrible service! Recently dined at the Batavia location and was extremely disappointed. Started off with returning several glasses due to lipstick stains and chips on the cups. Server was new and not as familiar with the menu which is not usually an issue until the bill came and we noted discrepancies. As our orders came out we repeatedly had to state that was not something we ordered. Finally after a bit of time everyone in our party received their food. Due to the prior mix ups on their part we anticipated mistakes on the bill and of course there were. What we didn't anticipate was how rude and unprofessional the manager/owner and some other staff members would be when we voiced our concerns. They did not want to budge over a minimal amount and the police had to intervene. Ridiculous, especially since we were ready to pay the large bill after the items we never ordered were removed. What's happened to good customer service and honoring and respecting people patronizing your business! I will never spend my money in this establishment again and will state the same to others looking into restaurant options in the area. Do better Apple Villa in Batavia! read more

Please do yourself a favor and do not dine at this location. We had a large group of people dine with us, which is why we called ahead to let the restaurant know and prepare. However, we were initially served dirty cups and plates. One cup even had a lipstick stain still on it. We each had to repeat our orders 3+ times to the waitresses, but they still served incorrect dishes. 3 plates were brought out with food that no one in our party had ordered. So, we sent them back before they could be placed at our table. By the time we all were given the correct food, we were charged for all of the incorrect orders. We asked the staff to please remove the incorrect dishes from our bill, but the owner marched over and tried to gaslight our group into paying for what was not ordered. The worst part was that we were the only minority table at the restaurant, and it became obvious as to why our service was so terrible. To summarize: The food was late, the staff is undertrained, and the owner is openly prejudiced towards anyone that does not look like him. read more

Today was our first time patronizing this location, and unfortunately, the experience was horrible. Our waitress (Crystal) was clearly not experienced enough to navigate a table of more than 2 customers, which is more a reflection of ineffective management than anything else since it was their choice to understaff a large party. Once you get past the subpar customer service and missing food items (including entire segments of the order multiple times), the owner turned out to be an abysmal, flat out liar when he didn't get his way while trying to charge the bill for things that were never ordered. If we hadn't experienced excellent service and food at other Apple Villa locations, the experience at the Batavia establishment would definitely make me unwilling to patronize any other location. read more

Worst blueberry pancake I've ever had, stacked five high and very thick. Not appetizing nor did they taste very good. Booth seats are worn-out duck taped and cushions are so bad that you feel the boards underneath the worn out cushions. Needs new ownership who will remodel and create new menu with food that tastes good. Don't waste your money eating here. read more

The menu looks like it had something for everyone. Next time I go I really want to try the breakfast pizza. I really enjoyed the pancakes. They were fluffy with a lil crunch from the cinnamon and with the cream cheese icing I didn't even need syrup. Yum read more

Normally LOVE this place but their customer service is trash! Placed an order in advance yet the order was ready half hour before the scheduled pick up. When questioned upon pick up, staff acknowledged their mistake and refused to remake the entire order. Don't know about you but smashed cold flakey pancakes and soggy waffle isn't something that could be rewarmed at home. Pretty nasty treatment to a returning customer. read more

Food is horrible. The service was ok but there is nothing fresh about their food. I won't be back

We came in with a large group on a Sunday morning. Seated relatively quickly, given the size of our group (15 min). And pleasantly surprised to be seated in a banquet room which was perfect. The food was great, Generous portions. The only thing was that they used 2 servers to handle our group of 13, and submitted the order separately so there was a good 15-20 min gap between both tables getting served, and splitting the check was overly complex because of it. But not a big deal overall. read more

Clean, great food and service. We sat away from everyone and they are covid compliant. Coffee was great! Had breakfast and plenty to take home. And they honored our Groupon we couldn't use because if covid! Very nice to do that! We will be back! read more

The restaurant was packed on a Sunday morning, but we were seated in 15 minutes. Service was terrific! Our waitress was friendly and efficient. There are several different flavor coffee creamer at the table. This is always a plus for a non-regular coffee drinker like me. The Baked Apple Villa Pancake house specialty will take 45 minutes, so make sure you order it first and have the time to wait. It was good, like big and fluffy apple pie made with pancake. Their regular pancake is fluffy and delicious. They also have sandwiches if you don't feel like eating breakfast food. Their Monte Cristo was good and comes with fries. ....| \ _ , , , - - , , _ , .../ , ` . - ' ` ' . _ \ - ; ; ; , _ ..| , a - ) ) _ . ; .

Over priced for mediocre food. Omelette was on the smaller side with chunks of undercooked peppers and onions. Service was terrible, the young waitress was so worried about the table next to us with a boy that she knew, that she was less than attentive to us. Just dropped off the check, didn't even ask if we wanted anything else or offer a to-go box. There's a lot better breakfast spots in the area that we won't be going back to this one again. read more

1st time ordering from this place and absolute last! Placed an order over the phone for carry out. I picked up food and immediately brought it back to the office for my co-workers and I. My co-workers food was fine! However, my food was the biggest disappointment ever! I ordered the veggie skillet with eggs Sunny side up, paid extra to have avocado and sub mushrooms for red bell peppers. Got the pancakes that come with it and paid extra to top it with strawberries. I open up my food and what do I find?! My pancakes are stuffed in a small box, all smushed and NO Strawberries LIKE I PAID FOR! Then, moving onto the skillet. My eggs that were suppose to be sunny side up were over cooked AND top it off served with a BAD AVOCADO! I have called multiple times no one has yet to answer the phone! This location needs new cooks/staff & managers. People that are competent, know how to prepare food properly, know how to manage and serve customers & communicate!!!!! Please refer to photos to see pictures of my food as well as my call log! I hope this does NOT happen to anyone who's dining in or carrying out!!! Also, want to add that I called Apple Villa the next day to speak to the manager. Told the manager what happened. He listened to me but was rude in his responses and had a terrible tone with me. Manager was unwilling and refusing to refund my money. He wanted to comp me for the food by having me come back in and get the same food. I had no interest in getting food from there again. The manager was a complete BULLY!!!! I'm offended by the way the manager spoke to me over the phone. I offered to send pictures of my food and my call log but refused and said he didn't need it. In addition, I asked the manager why would the staff/cooks not have put pancakes in a bigger container. Manager said bigger containers are costly and couldn't do that. Also, said the cooks accidentally made the pancakes bigger. In my mind I'm thinking Okay that's fine that they made the side pancakes bigger. But have the common sense to put them in appropriate containers. Who wants to eat food that's made sloppy and not put together properly?!! Especially when you've paid for the food!!!!!! If they don't do that during dine-in why in take-out????!!!!!!! read more

They treat their employees terribly. I was there earlier this year and one of the buss girls tripped and fell. Instead of asking if she was okay, they stared and laughed at her. If i were her, I would never go back. That is NOT how you treat YOUR employees. They work so hard for you and that is what they get in return? I will most definitely not be going back if this is how they treat their employees. I was also there another time and the manager took all the employees to a back room and violently yelled at everyone and the customers were highly interrupted. I highly recommend not going to this place ever. read more

I have been wanting to try them out, and went with my staple dish. The biscuits and gravy were pretty good, but the sunny side up eggs were hard. The gravy to biscuit ratio was weak. Not a huge fan of the dense biscuits. Server could have been more attentive, as it was a late Monday morning and not many people in the restaurant. read more

We went here on a Sunday morning, at 10am. Typically a busy time for a breakfast restaurant. Our party of 6 was seated right away. We ordered and soon after, the food starts coming to the table. Two of our meals are brought to our table...waiter disappears to get more. At LEAST 5 minutes pass before two more plates arrive. This is went the waiter leaves and comes back with a Mickey Mouse pancake..."this is on the house since the omelette is taking so long. About 10 minutes later, here comes the omelette. Then the waiter says to the only person that hasn't received her food, "oh did you order something." This question was asked BY OUR WAITER...the guy who TOOK OUR ORDER. By the time the rest of us started to eat, the food was cold. Finally got the last plate of food. All good was average, at best. The icing on the cake...the waiter didn't bother to take anything off the bill. Likely and sadly, will not be returning. read more

I walk in to Apple Villa for the first time seeing a sign proudly declaring they were voted to have the best breakfast in Kane County. I told my server that I love Benedict's and love crab cakes, and asked her to guess what I would order. She correctly guessed the crab cake Benedict. From there the service went downhill. She brought me my juice and then returned with my food asking if I would like ketchup or hot sauce with my meal. "Both" I replied. She came back literally a minute later with neither, but loaded down with an order for another table and asked me how my meal was, in passing. Fine. I assumed she would return shortly with my condiments. I waited so long that my food was getting cold. Never saw her until my meal was completed, and it was time for the check. I am guessing the food would have been great, consumed hot and even better with ketchup and hot sauce. Don't judge me for my penchant for ketchup. The Benedict is served with a side of hash browns. I think the potential for good service exists, and my waitress may simply have forgotten. An honest mistake, but she didn't check with me often enough to fix it. read more

10/10. Great food! Great service! Professionalism is the word that comes to mind. All employee's in uniform! And the plates are in the same price range as Ihop? I had the Georgia Pecan Pancakes, my friend had Veggie Benedict and cheese blitzen's. It was Awesome! Great family atmosphere. read more

We spent $70 to have breakfast delivered from them to our hotel. They got the order wrong, and refused to correct it. They also did not send any plastic wear so my family had no way to eat it. I had to leave the hotel, after spending $70 on a delivered meal and pick up their slack. Would never recommend. Terrible service and mediocre food. read more
