    This is a local business and a family-friendly restaurant that serves tasty food with a good menu variety and service. I have been here once only and this review from that visit. We came here on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was busy but not fully packed as there was patio seating available. We sat outside as it was sunny and mild for an October day. We received prompt, friendly service. Their menu options were good. We ordered a couple of iced lattes, Chilaquiles, Volcano Omelet w/ steak and a side of Sweet Potatoes pancakes, and Churro Waffle with ice cream. The food arrived shortly. It looked delicious. The Chilaquiles was the best dish on the table. It was very flavorful. The side of house hot sauce was butt-kicking delicious. My Volcano Omelet was decent. For a three eggs omelet, it looked small but it tasted nice. The Sweet Potatoes pancakes on the other hand were not good. They were crumbling apart as soon as you went to cut a piece. They were dry as well. The Churro Waffle and Ice Cream was an awesome dish. A perfect brunch dessert. If you have a sweet tooth, this dish will do the job. Overall, we thought the restaurant was nice and the service was good. The food was pretty decent. We had a nice experience. Give this restaurant a try if you happen to be in the area.

    Our food came out QUICKLY! I'm super impressed with the customer service and the quality of the food. It's giving the small diner cafe feel that's so hard to find these days. The prices are beyond reasonable - averaging about $12/person. I love coming after church with my wife. Tip #1: They don't do grits. Not a dealbreaker. Just know in advance. Tip#2: Pay with cash if you can. There's a CC surcharge.

    Went here on a whim on a Saturday... My usual breakfast haunts were packed. It was fine. Service was friendly but slow. The place looked like a regular diner, the ambiance was nothing special. The breakfast food was mediocre but hash browns were terrible. The cinnamon swirl French toast was okay. I would not come here if other options were available. Solidly an okay experience.

    Bread & Butter is a cute cafe/diner near downtown Palatine. The inside has a handful of booths and tables to create a quant/personable experience. The staff always has a smile and food is quick to turn around as this brunch hot spot is always busy! I got the biscuits and gravy which was a great portion for myself. The gravy was flavorful and complimented the biscuit well. It wasn't overly carb forward nor smothered in gravy. The side of bacon was not my favorite as it didn't taste freshly prepared. My husband got the sausage gravy skillet which he raved about! Tip: Be prepared as there is a 3.99% charge for anyone using a credit card and the bathrooms are located outside.

    The brunch was delicious. There were four of us, two omelets (one was split), and the Country Style Skillet. Veggie Omelet: My wife and my mother split this omelet. It was served with pancakes and fruit. When they finished, the plates looked almost clean. They were delighted with their meal. Country Style Skillet: my son has the Skillet. It was served with toast. Again, he was very pleased with his meal. California Special Omelette: I ordered this one. With a milk allergy, of course, I told them no cheese. When it arrived, I quickly noticed the chef missed that. I usually might become upset, but they were nice about it. They brought me a new one, which was delicious. Our server was fantastic. I wish I'd gotten his name to give him kudos. I hope he reads this - he'll remember us. :) Lastly, we are outdoors on their patio. It overlooks the busy Northwest Highway, but it was lovely.

    Two friends and I went to this diner last Sunday, Easter, and it was just half full at 10am! We all ordered differently and loved all of the dishes. Be aware of the 60 min limit on weekends, 90 min on weekdays... we would have liked to stay a bit longer, but they were strict about that time limit. I loved the cinnamon French toast, yum!

    The entrance.

As the person who has to order them, pick them up, and deliver them to the respective households, I really appreciated them having a dedicated "Paczki hotline" to pre-order, a very organized pick-up area, and heavily filled treats. Between my grandma and her best friend, my boyfriend, my daughter, my parents, and one of my very good friends and her two kidd-os, there were chocolate Bavarian, cookies and cream, strawberry cheese, cherry, blueberry, lemon cheese, and Elvis paczkis consumed. I don't love paczki so I didn't order one for myself, but did try samples of the cookies and cream, lemon cheese, and Elvis paczkis--if I were to order one next year, I would order the Elvis! It is peanut butter with peanut pieces, stuffed with banana. The banana filling was reminiscent of delicious banana pudding! The price was economical compared to the bakery located in the "downtown" area, the flavors were plentiful, and like I said, the acquisition process was so easy! And I got a fun Mardi Gras necklace to rock for the remainder of the day! 10/10, will order from them again!
