I recently tried Eiffel Waffle after seeing posts of their collaboration with Burhan Academy in…read moreElgin, IL. It's a very nice cute little place. As soon as you walkin you are greeted with sweet smell of waffles coming hot off the griddle. The staff were friendly and gave good recommendations on what to try. I had the bubble waffle with Dubai chocolate ice cream. Waffle was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a hint of sweetness. Ice cream was also rich in flavor, not too sweet. Ice cream soaked waffle at the end is the ultimate treat! I will definitely come back to try other items on the menu.

I am giving one of my rare two-star reviews, which I do not like to do…read more This place is pretty bad, food-wise. The seating and service were adequate. Other than the chicken noodle soup, which my husband liked after dumping bags of oyster crackers in it, he did not like or even finish his BLT sandwich, and he loves anything with bacon. He said the bread was old and stale. I did not even bother with their only vegan item here, fruit. They only offer filler fruit (cantaloupe and melon). Vegetarians should do okay if they are ordering eggs or ask for menu item modifications.

There are already 93 photos of the food posted on Yelp for this restaurant, so I did not bother…read more Here are menu photos. My husband has a Western omelette with cheddar and extra, and I had a partial order of vegan hashbrowns cooked in oil, not butter. The food looked really appetizing and good to both of us and we were hungry and could not wait to eat. It was not our physical hunger AT ALL. The food was really delicious! This place has changed hands so many times with different owners, different cooks, different names that we never know what it will be called the rate times that we head eat here (the wee hours of the morning). The only complaints that I have are the same as always... it was freezing in the restaurant and the handicapped parking spaces are nowhere near the ramp entrances on the curb. I am always on the lookout for disabled parking since my Mother is elderly and cannot walk far distances.

I was torn between the pancakes and French toast and she helped me pick the French toast. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with any thing. It's a little tight in there but the food is amazing.

The reservation process has also vastly improved after the transitioned to a new system. As for the food. We get the kids menu options which our kids love (chicken tenders and grilled cheese). I usually do the stuffed biscuit but this time decided to try their special skillet with beef and Brussels sprouts! It was hearty and I would recommend! I asked them to make eggs with olive oil and they were able to accommodate this! My husband got the fried chicken skillet which he has ordered many times before. The honey butter pancakes are our favorite and we usually upgrade that side to this variety. Service was quick and friendly - I continue to recommend Buttermilk!

You will probably have to queue for a bit, but they'll text you if you join on their website, and the wait is worth it. It has a very busy, but cozy buzz that is typical of a great breakfast place.

A gem of a find! Visiting the area and looking for a local place for breakfast, how fortunate we…read morewere to find Lily's Cafe. The service was impeccable from the initial welcome to the thank you as leaving we felt at home and cared for very well. We ordered off of the Lilys special menu for the holidays - a Cuban sandwich, breakfast burrito with chorizo and chilaquiles con Rojas with chicken, avocado and scrambled egg. Every bite was tasty and beautifully presented. The chilaquiles sauce was flavorful with a bit of spice, tortilla were crispy, the eggs perfectly cooked. This dish could easily serve two hungry people so a box was needed for take out which were promptly gobbled up by family who slept in. If you are in the area do yourself a favor and stop by Lily's Cafe! Bring a big appetite.

I shall start with the good. This is the closest place to our home when we both have extra-busy…read morework days, with meetings, calls, etc. This is a woman-owned business, which I am happy to support. My husband is a human garbage disposal (rude, but true). He is happy to eat here. I really hate this place. They are overpriced, very overcrowded (on any day of the week, however do not even attempt to get a table on the weekend). If you decide to come anyway, know that they provide no seating for waiting customers. This dump is standing room only. They have (kind of, to be generous) a couple of options for vegans. Their hashbrowns are made with canola oil, and by default only, they are vegan. They serve a very bad fruit cup at a very high price. If you bring your own vegan butter, their toast and English muffin are options as well. Vegetarians do well at any breakfast diner. There are no Celiac/gluten-free options that are marked, however to my limited knowledge eggs and hashbrowns are safe (minus toast) I really try to do my best and include everyone of every dietary choice/need in my reviews.

Bottom Line: Family run, good food, pleasant experience, overall decent value…read more First time here. This Greek family-run diner/restaurant is not much to look at from the outside. You could drive right by thinking it was a vacant building except for all the cars in the lot. The notion of vacant building is dispelled immediately upon entry. The place is busy, loud, vibrant with customers clearly enjoying the food and experience. The interior is decorated simply, with muted colors, is well lit, and clean. There are a lot of hard surfaces which makes the ambient noise level fairly high; however, it did not detract from the experience (but just be advised in case you feel this is bothersome). We were greeted warmly and though the place was packed, we were seated quickly. Despite the diner-like vibe, there is no counter, just tables and booths. Our server was prompt, very pleasant, and efficient. The coffee was hot and flavorful. The food: Large portions, well prepared, warm, savory, satisfying. The loaded Cheers omelette, with hash browns and pancakes, was more food than I could enjoy in one sitting so I have leftovers for tomorrow. Prices are in line with more reasonably priced independent eateries. A two-egg, hash browns, pancake combo is $14. This place will be an option in the future.

Decent choice of vegan choices, especially if you bring your own vegan butter. I am not GF, but I loved my potatoes cooked in oil (not butter) and vegan by default) and vegan muffin.

I also cannot say enough about their morning beverage libations. Wo does not love a Bellini with breakfast?

For drinks, I started with the lychee martini and then moved to the Fire and Ice. I loved the Fire and Ice drink. My husband found a new Pinot Noir that he now loves - Submission! For starters - we got the Brussels Sprouts Crostini. Unique appetizer to try - if you love brussell sprouts. For entrees, we got the cauliflower steak and fried chicken. I loved my cauliflower - the hummus and pita bread with it made it perfect. I wasn't trying for an all veggie meal, but it truly hit the spot. Nothing too heavy at all. My husband liked his fried chicken but wished it was spicier. He took half home and was able to spice it up with a sauce. Overall - a great meal that we would go back to if we were in the area.
