Came here for breakfast today with wife and daughter. First visit for us and it was a pleasant surprise. Coffee was hot and delicious of the diner variety. My daughter ordered a Vanilla cappuccino which she said was delicious . Out food came out quick and hot and all was flavorful, delicious and had a homemade touch to it, which was nice. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but the atmosphere is friendly and the service was very attentive . Overall, we really enjoyed our experience here and the price was very reasonable for 3 people given the amount of food we ordered . We will definitely be back. Saw lots of Bears fans coming in before the game! read more

Let me begin by saying $8.99. $8.99 OH MY GOSH, $8.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to begin here, as my feelings were DEEPLY HURT, as the cost of a glass of orange juice that was MAYBE 12OZ was $8.99! Why!? Why!? Why!? This was discovered when it was time to pay the bill. I have been to MANY PLACES...MANY places for breakfast fare, and have had LARGER GLASSES of orange juice for less. I could not for the life me figure out how or why this was the price they decided on!!??! Was it freshly juiced orange juice? Sure. Was it enjoyed by my date? Yes. Was that itty bitty glass worth $8.99? NOPE,AND A BIG FAT NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It kinda ruined it for me. Because it didn't sense. *exhaling* I found this cute spot just by googling"pancakes near me". Lol I find fun things this way:) When I tell you it was everything I needed it to be (except for that orange juice price tag-yes, I am still reeling from that and its 10:38pm CST). It was small inside. It was cute. No Instagram frills. It reminded me of the 90's. The music playing was even befitting for a sweet, soft, enjoyable breakfast experience. No one was there when we arrived. Just the workers. Very attentive individuals. Not too big on smiles, but I was there for pancakes. The order: The pancake combo/breakfast came with 2 pancakes, I added fresh strawberries. Eggs cooked soft(2) sausage links(2). I had a cup of coffee with water. My date's order: Cinnamon Apple Pancakes Pancakes (2) eggs(2) and (2)bacon. Oh and that RIDICULOUSLY PRICED ORANGE JUICE.*sigh* *To our surprise, we recieved 3 pieces of breakfast meats apiece * The meal was perfection. It was what my belly and morning soul needed. Fresh, crispy, warm, and simply delightful. Coffee hot. Yes, please keep it coming! Lol I ate it slow. Each bite made me so happy I(again randomly selected a new spot to check out. Well, new to me. I asked how long this establishment has been open, the response, 14 years. 14 years!? And I never knew it was there. In a new plaza.... hmmm.. how did I miss that!? A few more people trinkled in as we ate. The noise level didnt really change. When I say it was so quiet in there. So peaceful. So calm. It was absolutely what my Saturday morning heart needed. Thank you. Though the orange juice price was BANANAS!!!!!! I will return. It was such a good time. Such a calming good time. And as always, you don't have to believe me... Go get you some! read more

You TIP FOR SERVICE!!Food is really good,,i mean enjoyed EVERYTHING,so much that I will return! BUT I will also make sure I DO NOT ever have Nicole as a server.Absolutly worst server ive had in LONG TIME. Totally uninterested in listening, smiling, or having slightest positive interactions. Felt like asking 1 of my kids to do something while they when on their phones..oh,her mom is in back, possibly family owned,well i would put her in back because she is either not old enough to understand customer service or just an ignorant young girl ..either way I will never accept her as my waitress again and that explains my 0 tip but AGAIN the food was delicious! read more

Breakfast Nook is a great place for breakfast or Lunch. I have been going there for about 15 years. My whole family has in fact. My Grandson went with us for his 1 week birthday and repeat usually weekly or more since. 14 yrs ! The food is very good and they are very accomodating. They remember us and know the first question my daughter has when we go in is : Is the soup ready? when we go at 6-7 AM and most the time it is! I have never had a bad meal there, its just really good regular food. Although they do have some items I don't eat due to I don't like spicy but my daughter says the mexican omelet is great, and they both love the buffalo chicken wrap. The staff is so nice they chat with us and make sure we don't need anything else. Highly recommend. read more

First impression of this place is that it's COZY!! It's a tiny spot but that just made the customer service that much better. Super reasonable prices and the food was delicious! We will definitely be coming back as the new favorite breakfast spot! read more

My favorite breakfast spot in Mokena. Food is good and the restaurant is always clean

Went there 3x and, service is lacking. Had to ask for water with my meal 2x. The steak taste like liver. The cost is well above any breakfast place. I eat out every morning and never ate 35 bucks in foor. I would never give it another chance Dennys down the street is much better. read more

My advice are better off eating poisonous McDonald's for breakfast then going to this place, croissant, mozzarella, and bacon for my wife and a Greek toast, bacon and egg sandwich I requested for the hashbrowns to be crispy on both sides and I literally got a sandwich with bread a bacon bit with barely no egg. My wife got the croissant with cheese and bacon with half an egg and the hashbrowns were raw simple instructions and it wasn't even handled properly this place for $36 was a rip off and you got no food. I have to go to breakfast to another place now. read more

Love the breakfast nook and food and service are both good. Their cream of chicken soup is the most delicious soup.

The menu has just about anything you want from skillets, to omelettes, to waffles, to crepes. We ordered a little of everything. The Nutella crapes, the bacon and the chocolate chip pancakes were the star of the show. Good food and reasonable prices. read more

I like the cozy atmosphere, the seating area is small. They have an inexpensive early bird menu that covers the basic morning start. I ordered the 3 cheese omelet. It is loaded with stretchy gooey white and yellow cheese. I think it's self seating, as I waited for a short time with no one at the front desk .When it was time to time to pay there was no one there as well. Just ring the bell. So I'm guessing the waitress was doing double duty. The food is satisfying and the service is pleasant. I would stop in again . read more

You'll be hard-pressed to find a finer little breakfast place on such a small footprint. Located right in the corner of a little strip mall, they serve up good food in a pleasant atmosphere. The wait staff went over and above, the food was simple and delicious, and the selection was just enough to keep it interesting. You can eat in, pick-up, or use the drive-by window on the side. Any way you do it, this place deserves a try. read more

French toast smelled like a wet dog. It tasted like the cook used a mildewed rag to clean the stove and then cooked our French toast on top. We made a complaint, but according to the cook we weren't allowed a refund :/ Nonetheless, my hot chocolate was amazing and our waistress was very witty and should take up comedy! read more

Average breakfast. Good service. Ordered omelet with pancakes, reminded me of military food. Very forgettable. $3.50 for coffee seemed a bit high, so I passed. Syrup was warm always a plus. Very crowded inside , almost on top of each other. Prices were higher than anticipated, however much better prices M-F, early bird. Open at 6 am. read more

Service was great, my server was super friendly and carrying on a conversation. Food was hot and fresh will be going back.

Delicious breakfast food and great servers! We tried the meaty skillet with pancakes and the Belgian waffle with bacon and over easy eggs. Everything was cooked perfectly and very tasty! read more

While driving through this town we were looking fora nice little breakfast place, and we found it. I had the crepes combo and my husband had an all meat skillet type . Everything was delicious. The server was also very nice and attentive. Took a bowl of the chicken shell soup home for later and it was amazing as well. If you get the chance to try this place out, please do! read more

Family owned and operated. The wait staff is super friendly and the place is so cozy. We go there frequently for the delicious food. We have never had a bad meal there after going in for several years now. You will definitely enjoy this dining experience! read more

Yum yum yum! We were traveling from one destination to another and needed a good breakfast. Found them on yelp so we stopped. I won't lie, we walked in and the place was empty...so I hesitated. We sat down and it was as if we brought the people with us. The food was amazing! I ordered a skillet with a side of pancakes, get the pancakes! My husband had an amazing omelette. Great service, very attentive to filling the coffee, prices reasonable for the amount of food you get and the food was at the table in a snap of a finger. If you're in the area, go here! They offer other options (lunch) as well that I saw for pickup which is great for their smaller dine-in area and those wanting to stay close to home. read more

Today I experienced something unfortunate because our family has ordered from here every weekend and the food is good but... When paying for my food at the drive up window, I looked into the kitchen to see one of the ladies open my food container, pick a piece of food out and eat it, wearing no mask. She then wrote on the container and packaged it up. The lady working the window who took my payment knew I saw this and went up to her and told her something. I saw her Oh no face and she immediately went outside to her car. The lady handed me my food and I said, next time make sure she keeps her hands out of my food and wears a mask and I drove off. But after thinking about it, with covid etc. that was unacceptable so I came back to the window. The lady who ate my food, greeted me. Picking up? No, I already did and you actually put your fingers in my food and ate a piece before packing it. She claimed she just adjusted the foil but would remake the steak skillet for me if that's how I felt and apologized for not wearing a mask. Um...How did you know it was the steak skillet? I saw the whole act so don't lie to me. Own up to it! She then handed me my food and I left. I hope she enjoys her free breakfast today! read more

Oh my gosh. The food was amazing, we both got the Meat Skillet. The dish was heaping with bacon,sausage, and ham. Diced potatoes with eggs over the top. Super filling and great tasting. Our server, Dora was so sweet and attentive. Definitely 5 star! The inside, while small, is clean and nicely decorated, nothing too kitschy or cluttered. read more

I never actually did get breakfast here... But I did have the avocado stuffed with chicken salad. Sliced tomatoes, cottage cheese, and I ordered a side of toast...it was delish. The portion size was HUGE. I had meals for two lunches from this puppy. The avocado was fresh and ripe. The chicken salad was really good. The presentation was great. I was defo impressed. The service was also excellent. My water was replenished regularly, and the server made sure to check on me often. I had intended to go back and try out breakfast, but I didn't get the chance. Maybe one day, if I'm back in the Mokena area again. read more

I have gone here for years and always loved it until today. Our waitress was rude from the beginning. She didn't even introduce herself when we sat down or anything, which is why I can't give you a name of this server. I ordered the same thing I get every time with my eggs over medium to over hard. Though when they came out they were completely runny. Since my waitress was no where to be seen I grabbed the other one, and she said they looked poached so I sent them back. My waitress proceeded to come back and say "those eggs were over medium, do you want them back". My jaw dropped. As someone who works in a restaurant I couldn't l believe she said this to me in such a rude manner. I later find out that the cook is her dad... of course she was "right". I ordered nothing else. I've never seen such an undercooked over hard egg in my life. But the egg wasn't the problem for me... it was the service. Though I did not pay I still left her a tip because I wasn't trying to cause any inconvenience, I just wanted to enjoy my breakfast. But instead all I got was attitude. read more

Really relaxed and cozy place with great cinnamon french toast! I'd come back more if I still lived in the area

Cute spot! Great prices for the amount of food you get. I got the omelette with the chorizo and it was delicious - and got hashbrowns and chocolate chip pancakes included! My friend's aunt and uncle come here all the time and now I see why. read more

Wow! The food here is great, and generous helpings! I ordered the veggie skillet with diced potatoes + avocado. It was perfectly cooked, so delicious, and a huge serving. It came with 2 pancakes (or toast). The service here was very good, I was seated and had a glass of water in under a minute! Will be back here very soon, they took great care of me and the food was so delicious and reasonably priced. There's ample parking, too! read more

We absolutely love this cozy little restaurant. The food is great and plentiful with wonderful service.

Absolutely the rudest workers I've ever experienced. Every person gave me an attitude for trying to pick up food that I ordered and I was being extremely friendly! They kept rolling their eyes asking if I was from DoorDash or Uber Eats & were making it seem like I was wrong for ordering food from them. Bad vibes bad vibes spend your money somewhere happier :) read more
