Bialy's Café -- Real Breakfast, Real Prices, No Market Price Nonsense After getting finessed at Maple & Jams -- where a skirt steak somehow ran $39.99 (and came out well-done when we asked for medium rare) -- I walked into Bialy's with my guard up, half-expecting another brunch scam. But Bialy's? Straight up restored my faith in breakfast. My girlfriend ordered the skirt steak again -- and this time, it came out exactly how she wanted: medium rare, flavorful, and worth every cent. Price? $19.95. No market price tricks. No guessing games. Just real food with a real price tag. I went with the Denver omelet and a side of sausage links, and let me tell you -- that omelet was fluffy, packed, and hit the spot. The sausage was solid, and we even squeezed in an order of French toast to share. Light, crisp edges, just the right amount of sweetness. You could tell everything was made with care. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The crowd was diverse, the energy was positive, and the waitresses were friendly and on top of it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there -- staff and customers alike. Bottom line: I came in feeling finessed from my last overpriced breakfast. But I left full, happy, and reassured that some spots still put people over profit. No market pricing games. No sticker shock. Just good food, fair prices, and people who clearly give a damn. read more

Bialy's Cafe - Hot chick, perfectly cooked skirt steak and happiness!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Evergreen Park, Illinois

Food was good,a little pricey for south side breakfast waitresses were okay For 4 people, my cost was over $90.00, maybe that's the reason I don't go out to breakfast much anymore read more

As a absolutely foody to see 3 stars on this app absolutely absurd... I've worked in many breakfast places and as a reviewer for Yelp this restaurant the cook owner has went above and beyond to prepare his food.. I ordered the chilaquiles on point not soggy perfect spice exactly what I was looking for.. I also ordered a broccoli cheddar skillet with avocado and let me tell you I've never had any skillet that had broccoli with seasoning it had a hint of garlic not just grilled and thrown in there that flavor was incredible you don't get that at other restaurants... And then of course my favorite thing waffles I don't know what this man does to the waffles but it was crispy on the outside and kind of lacy inside my kind of waffle not a waffle that you cut into and it looks like a pound cake I can't figure out how he makes it or whatever he does that's how a waffle should be.. He uses fresh potatoes.. and fresh hash browns although ..I was charged which believe me I get I a pecan waffle with pecan inside and out I think I was charged $5 extra but you know what pecans are expensive and boy there was a lot on there I would chop them up though..... [[HIGHLIGHT]]Was very clean the windows were clean that's my pet peeve when you walk into a restaurant and you have dirty windows the coffee pots were shiny they take pride the cleanliness of the restaurant[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] my server was excellent very informative I did ask about the owner cuz I was just truly impressed usually when food is made to perfection the most part and this industry it's always not a Greek Hispanic they learn and watch and intact.. I don't know if he had had experience before but whatever he had whatever he knew..he is definitely gifted.... I will give 20 stars to this place I hate I work mornings I can't even get there I just had a day off and I was at urgent Care and we stopped there it makes me feel like breaking a bone and having to go back there just so I can go back for breakfast or just take a day off of work LOL.... There is an automatic gratuity don't be discouraged and understand the area they probably work many years getting stiffed and had no choice.. to succumb to that.... I will definitely be coming back you are my all-time favorite breakfast read more

Food was amazing! I got a veggie skillet with toast and apple juice. Everything was fresh and cooked amazing. However it's a bit pricey. 100$ for a family of 4, but I guess now expected. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The booths and tables are a little tight together, so if you do order food and have 4 people, the table might be small for you.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The parking is also a little bit of a disaster. When they're busy , I would assume you'd have to park on the street, because their parking lot is about 10 cars worth. Waitress was sweet and attentive. read more

Found a hair in my food and was told they couldn't comp me only replace the food. Why would I want the food at that point?

I found a peice of hair in my Omlet so I call ithe waitress. She offered to remake I told her no I did not want anymore. Got to the register the manager was very nasty and took off $1. read more

Beware. Ask for itemized bill, check it well. They already added a tip! They say "sit anywhere" but when you do, don't be surprised if they ask you to move! Confusing! read more

This is a nice mom and Pop place. You can find a nice park on the street and the food was good and the portions are large. The only part that I did not like was that my food came out a little later than my friends were halfway through eating when I finally got my food I was severely hungry. this place can get crowded so I suggest you come early. Check your receipt before departure. Sometimes they get a little confused. Hope you enjoy. read more

The skillets here are great. It is one of our favorite places for breakfast or anytime. You get a lot of food for your money. Omelets, pancakes, any of their Mexican entrees are delicious. Service is always great. Staff is attentive and friendly. read more

Food was great! I've been here several times and the skillets never disappoint. Service is quick and friendly. The dining area has booths for your dining experience. Pancakes come with the entrees so take your appetite. read more

The food is good as usual only if served right. That young female waitress that's usually in the back section can be rude. We don't like going there much anymore because of her. The older lady waitress there in the front section is usually nice and friendly no matter how busy. There is very limited parking around back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is very little seating in the diner as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Bialey's is exactly what every neighborhood needs. We have frequented this locale regularly for both breakfast and lunch and Bialey's has hit it out of the park 9/10 times. The service is great, the atmosphere is light and warm and the food is very delicious and plentiful. If you love chicken sandwiches - The Chicken BLT is a must, if you love "lemonade" they have what you NEED! Their skillets are huge and should already come w a to-go box! I have eaten brunch and literally not eaten again until dinner (very filling). Lupe is a "hoot" and a great time when visiting. Most of the menu is a "hit" and you are able to customize each plate as needed per your request. This is that family friendly diner that all neighborhoods would love to have be part of their community. read more

I ordered the taco dinner and got chicken as my meat of choice. I absolutely enjoyed the food, it was flavorful, the staff were super kind and welcoming. And the atmosphere was relaxing, everything was great. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

My Mom loves the Breakfast from this place. The O'Brien potatoes are very tasty. My order is ready to go when I arrive for pickup!

Fantastic family owned business is an understatement. My family and I were looking for pancakes on this Sunday morning and we found a hidden gem. Come to find out the business has been around for 25 years. The food was amazing and very tasty. The service was great Luz and Brenda were so friendly, I didn't want to leave. I tried the taco dinner (with steak, chicken and beef tacos) everything was bomb and my daughter had the French toast and egg breakfast which was incredible. Found a park right outside so it was super cool to walk right up and the pricing was reasonable. read more

With so many restaurants struggling to stay open these days, it's such a blessing to find one that still offers dine-in seating. They offer very limited capacity and every other table is blocked. They do clean in between guests and masks are required until your food arrives. I absolutely LOVE their hash browns; big chunks of crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside potatoes. I'd go back just for those! read more

Good is great with fast service. The girls that work here work well together and are friendly. The owner is walling around bussing tables and running food and I respect the hell outta that. He saw me struggling with buttering my toast, told me to hold on and came back with softened butter. read more

This restaurant was on the pricey side compared to other family owned restaurants. They had a lot of yummy Hispanic dishes on the menu. The service was alright. Def would come back tho read more

I wandered in a couple weeks ago, and ordered the Philly Beef Pita. When it came, I thought, holy cow, it's HUGE. By the time I was finished, I didn't want it to end. It's that good. Service as always was friendly and quick. I love this place! read more

Stoped by on Black Friday - no crowd (a plus!). Waitress was VERY friendly and food was out to us in 15 minutes. Hash browns were old school and excellent. Awesome diner atmosphere! read more

4 for breakfast one child bill came to over $80 - signed added tip. Asked for copy get a receipt just showing price so asked for itemized bill. 20 percent gratuity added with 4 people ? One a child? Did not mention that when handing me the bill with screen asking how much percent tip. So asked for the extra tip back. Extra charge for bacon one of the people don't recall getting in omelette extra charge for O'Brien potatoes extra charge using a credit card? Wont be back. read more

Bialys is such a great, local neighborhood diner! I've gotten breakfast takeout from Bialys a number of times and always satisfied! Typically takes ~ 20 minutes for the order and dishes are very reasonably priced with generous portions. I've always gotten takeout, never dined in with COVID restrictions but the staff is very friendly with me and in what've I've seen interacting with other diners. We've tried a lot of the dishes and my favorite is anything with chorizo! I specifically like the Braulios skillet and the Mexican omelette. The chorizo just hits different in the morning! Personally wasn't a huge fan of the eggs Benedict. It had a peach next to it and the Hollandaise sauce had a tangy peach flavor. It wasn't bad just caught me off guard and wasn't the traditional Benedict i was craving. Overall I've loved my experience and plan to be a regular at Bialys! read more

So, I want to first start this by stating that you should never judge a book by its cover--this place is a gem! Listen, between the banana waffle, the skillet and the guacamole--my entire food life was changed! I kid you not! Oh, and the homemade flour tortillas took the cake! Someone's grandma was back in the kitchen making dishes with LOVE! So happy to have stumbled across this gem in the neighborhood! read more

I can't really leave a review of this place because I never receive my food. My husband and I came here and Valentines Day it was busy. Understandable because of Covid restrictions and the holiday but it was only 2 ladies taking orders and seating people. We ended up just walking out. Most importantly you have to spent a minimum of $10 to use your debit card. read more

This place, service, and food have gone downhill badly. Why do customers have to be asking for items or refills?!?! I walked out of that place mad and regretting that I had stopped by. On top of that, I was charged a 10$ gratitude fee. I will never go back here. read more

I loved it the first few times I ordered but the quality went down & it's like they can't read the notes you leave & I leave the note in every box, just to make sure it's not overlooked. Today was a reminder of why I order from Flapjack but they were closed. The omelette was way overcooked. The hash browns were burnt. I constantly ask for them to use small diced peppers & I get chunks that I have to pick out. It's not worth the trouble, so I'm done!(Pix also posted) read more

10/10 restaurant our experience was amazing the food was excellent and the girls were complete sweethearts they were very talkative and had us laughing and smiling the whole time and were very attentive to our needs and the cooks did an amazing job with the food ! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing food and good people ! read more

This place has really gone downhill. Water was tap and had a terrible taste. They don't provide napkins in the restrooms. They have a sign that says paper napkins outside. Imagine all the people that do not wash their hands already and you just touched a dirty door knob. When we sat down we ordered our drinks and soup. They brought the soup well after our meals came out. The meals were mediocre to say the least. Wait staff was nonexistent between having the two serves there bringing us our order. This place used to be packed and I can see why it's not anymore read more

Good place a for quick bite of home cooked food with the family. We usually do breakfast, but they cover all meals. The staff is friendly, service is fast and the food is always delicious. Would definitely recommend. read more

I took my husband who is legally blind to Bialy's in Evergreen Park to eat breakfast while I went to my dental appointment next door. I explained to the waitress that my husband was visually impaired and to take special care of him. When I returned, after my appointment, my husband had half eaten his food and complained of the food being cold when it was served after a 20 minute wait. I had intended to sit down and eat but I refused to do so and told the waitress at checkout how displeased I was about my husband's service. We have been there before and never had an issue. I asked if the cook had changed, but she said no. My only conclusion was that they no longer wanted our business. read more

Wonderful neighborhood establishment with great skillets and friendly staff. The food is excellent!

Best restaurant in Chicago. Seriously. My great-granddad ate here back in the 1950's when he drove trucks and delivered produce - he delivered to 100 restaurants and he chose to eat here. Get the Mexican and/or Mama Mia Skillets. They're worth it. read more

Well I liked this place in the beginning. I stopped in maybe two times a week in the past month. This last week their service was ok. The food wasn't great and they were very skimpy on my breakfast sandwich. I called in to complain about my sandwich that I had picked up on my lunch break and was rudely told to bring the whole sandwich back. I'm like I ordered it because I was hungry. This sandwich couldn't fill up a toddler. I couldn't take it back because it's way out of my way. Needless to say I won't be driving outta my way anymore for a breakfast sandwich read more

This place is a bit underrated. The Mexican food is delicious. I had the huevos rancheros and it was fantastic! They were so friendly with my baby and they were kind. It had a great diner feel. There was plenty of seating, but that is because the service is fast! You walk in and can sit wherever you want. If I lived closer, I know I would be there every weekend. My husband loved his skillet. The food was great! read more
