    Great service, they kept ice water pouring and checking on us throughout our meal. Food came out quickly. What an awesome menu with several options! Breakfast burritos are HUGE and come with a side. My special Cajun omelet came with a side and a pancake. Flavors were ON POINT! Nothing bland here. Burrito sauce, crema, and salsa were authentically homemade. We loved the outdoor patio that is pup-friendly and having shade overhead. It was late morning but the sun was already hot and it was nice to have cover with beautiful flower walls next to us.

    VEGAN CHORIZO

    My favorite! Whether dining in or grabbing carry out, this is one of the most consistent, quality breakfast spots in the city. I used to live right next door, so I've been here more times than I can count. The staff are always kind and accommodating. I love that there is indoor or outdoor seating options. I've sat outside even in the rain and the cover was sturdy and kept us dry. The food is fresh and every dish I've ordered has been a hit. The fresh OJ vegan chorizo have nursed me back to health on more than one occasion :)

    It's a nice-looking place, and I found the food could have been better. One of my dishes was good. The person taking our order wasn't as helpful when I asked for a description of the food and stated that everything was good. It's not my type of food, and many seem to like it. I would give the place a try as a first-time experience. It never hurts to find a place that you want to go often for breakfast. I was rather surprised to have a tip starting at 20% and felt that I either needed to tip nothing or a 20% tip.

    This review is specifically for carry out. We woke up on Easter morning and wanted to support a local business and decided to try Breakfast House. We placed the order online and picked up shortly after. The food was prepared quickly and on time. I got the croissant sandwich, with a pancake and a side of bacon because why not. The croissant sandwich was okay, it needed a little something but I definitely got what I ordered. It came with a side of potatoes- it was more small diced potatoes rather than a hash or roasted. The bacon has the option of crispy or well done. We went with crispy and it was great! The pancake was a tad dense but had a cinnamon taste to it. Overall, we had a great experience. I'll have to come by to dine in person (when it's not a holiday)!

    Came here on a Sunday after church with a party of 9 or so and was seated fairly quickly. The wait staff here was so accommodating. The food is delicious. I don't think there was anything that was had amongst the group that wasn't good. I mean you can't go wrong with anything ordered. The eggs were scrambled light and super fluffy. Hands down my favorite of everything was the French toast. That is some of the best French toast I've had.

    Great service. Great food too. I had the eggs Benedict and it was delicious! I also had a horchata. Loved it.

    Quick stop in for breakfast as it is not too far from the O'Hare airport. Great and attentive service! Food is good quality and cooked to your liking. The place is super clean and welcoming. Whenever I may find myself in the Chicago area, this will be my go to spot for breakfast!

    VEGAN hash

    My friend had a LATE night party last night and we needed a BIG breakfast. Breakfast House delivered. While we waited for a table (it's brunch y'all how could you NOT wait,) we sat at the bar. It did take almost 10 minutes to get anyone to come over but the Spicy Bloody Mary was worth the wait! It was really good! I ordered the vegan hash and it was AMAZING. Crispy potatoes, delicious veggies, hot sauce and guacamole! YES!!! And I got a side of toast which was perfect to grab it all up with. Hubs got a vegan beyond burger (yawn!) and a mango frozen margarita. I'm not a sweet Rita drinker or a frozen drink person so I didn't have any of what he had. My hash, toast and Bloodys were all I needed. Thanks for a yum breakfast!

    BREAKFAST BURRITO OMELET
    Crystal C.

    This place definitely has kind employees but skimps on the seasoning with their food. The taste was bland and there was a hole in my wallet that was not even worth it. The building had nice lighting I just wish the food was better.

Less than a mile away is PQM and Breakfast Club in opposite directions. I brought my wife and young daughter there. We were placed at the heart of the restaurant. I earnestly feel that the staff was playing a game of who can bump the chair the most. If it were one, two, or even five times I would chalk it up to servers hustling to get people their food. But it didn't stop at 5. After we hit 10 times that a server had run into my chair, I literally had to move furniture behind it. And this was after I had put my backpack on the back of a chair so there was no way that it was them. Simply not seeing me. I will never again go back to this location of waffles so long as I live. Quite frankly, do yourself the service joining me.

On a Saturday morning around 11am there was surprisingly no wait but I also think we got the last available table inside. Note here that they do offer outdoor seating. Anyways, we sat smack dab in the middle of the restaurant and got to observe a lot. After sitting a young lady brought waters over to the table. I asked her a quick question but she noticeably had AirPods in and didn't respond. I was just looking for the bathroom but I found it myself. It was clean and well stocked. Our waitress was nice. Attentive and present. We ordered the 2+2+2+2 and a Moons over Miami sandwich. The food took less than 10 minutes to arrive and everything was very hot. My mom and I both enjoyed our breakfast. I personally really enjoyed the French toast. I thought the portions were filling. At the end we were asked if we'd be paying by cash or card. A ticket was never presented but we were just verbally told an amount. I thought that was kind of odd. We chose cash because you get a discount. We asked again what the total was and she again just verbally told us and then took the cash. We had exact change but I still think it was weird to not have a visual. Overall, this was a great meal and an overall good experience. I'd add this to your list of breakfast spots to try in the area.
