Been twice. NEVER GOING BACK! Worst waitress ever. Decided…read moreto give it another try since Elgin has no other breakfast/brunch dining choices. First time NO COFFEE....waitress laughed and said coffee machine broke. The food was served cold and bland; nothing special. Waitress never came around to see if we needed anything. Finally had to get up and go to counter to ask for assistance. Twice now the waitress either ignored us or was blind to us being there. Second time our food must have sat out waiting to be served and was cold and obviously dried out. Waitress was too busy chatting it up with another table, served three other tables that came in after us, talking on phone all whilst we sat ignored and waited ...watched ....waited ....waited and waited while our food sat waiting to be picked up and brought to our table. Absolutely unacceptable. Waitress needs training.

We were really looking forward to trying Cornbread Cafe--new place, new experience, and all the…read moreexpectations that come with wanting to support a local spot. Unfortunately, this visit just wasn't it. We were greeted and told to sit anywhere, which was fine. A server came by to take our drink order, only to let us know they were out of both drinks we originally wanted. No big deal--we pivoted. But then my sweet tea came with Splenda and no spoon to stir it, and silverware never made an appearance at all. What really sealed it, though, was the service--or lack of it. Another server spent close to 20 minutes chatting with a table about something completely unrelated to the restaurant while we sat there unnoticed. During that time, three separate parties were seated after us and were promptly given menus, silverware, and attentive service. We were never checked on again. After sitting there watching everyone else be taken care of, it became pretty clear we weren't going to be served that day. So we got up and left. I always hate sharing experiences like this because I truly want local businesses to succeed. But service matters just as much as the food, and sadly, this visit missed the mark entirely.

I picked up lunch and a couple of desserts from Baker's Sweets, and the chicken salad croissant was…read morea nice surprise. The croissant was flaky without falling apart, and the filling had a good balance of seasoning and crunch. For dessert, I brought home a slice of red velvet cake and a few cookies for the family. The cake wasn't overly sweet, which I appreciated, and the cookies didn't last long once everyone saw them.

I was in the mood for a really good breakfast, something local, not a chain and decided to finally…read moretry Breakfast at Ruiz after seeing it on Yelp. I'll admit, I was cautiously optimistic, but wow, they completely exceeded my expectations! The restaurant itself is beautiful, slightly upscale in appearance but still has a relaxed, casual vide, which makes it perfect for a midweek brunch or late breakfast. The menu is extensive without being overwhelming, and our server was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Now the food... phenomenal. I hate that I didn't take pictures, but that's usually a sign the food is that good. I just wanted to dig in! My husband ordered the shrimp and grits with added andouille sausage, and I had the brisket omelette with a side of grits. I'm not usually an omelet person, but the idea of brisket in an omelette pulled me in, and I am so glad that I did. The flavor was amazing, and the grits were some of the best I've ever had. I typically avoid ordering grits outside my home because they're often disappointing, but these were absolutely on point. The shrimp and grits were also excellent, full of flavor and beautifully presented. The andouille sausage wasn't my personal favorite, but that's my taste preference, not a reflection of the dish itself. Portion sizes were great, pricing felt fair for the area, and overall the experience was top tier. If you're in the Columbia Northeast/Elgin area, I highly recommend giving this place a try.

Breakfast at Ruiz is absolutely beautiful. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, and we were…read moregreeted as soon as we walked in, which made for a great first impression. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the ambiance. We ordered the shrimp and grits and the classic breakfast, and both entrées arrived cold or only mildly warm. The French toast had a nice blend of seasoning, but it was overcooked and had a slightly burnt taste. The breakfast potatoes were also cold, which was disappointing. On a positive note, the mimosas were really good and definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The service was okay--nothing particularly memorable, but not bad either. Overall, while the restaurant is gorgeous and has a lot of potential, the quality and temperature of the food left us underwhelmed. I'm not sure if I'll return, but I do hope they improve the consistency because the space itself is worth experiencing.

The kids meal was well priced, but we were disappointed that there was a $2 up-charge for getting milk of juice instead of soda. I realize that those drinks are more expensive for the restaurant, but we shouldn't de-incentive healthier choices for kids. They were able to make the thunderbird biscuit for me without the buffalo sauce. The croissant and home fries were good.
