    Chipy's Bread Bowl and Mexican Omelette. Delicious.
    Zuzana K.

    Hard to believe that a place like this exists in the suburbs. While the curb appeal suggests a typical cafe or a diner, the food is absolutely top notch and the service is friendly in an authentic way. I need to return to try their other dishes.

    Mexican Omelette

    Chipy is located in a mall wirh easy parking. I came here randomly for lunch one day. Glad I did as it was a good experience. Walking in, the space was really small but cozy. I don't think it's suitable for large parties but it was not loud. Service was really quick and friendly. And food came out really quickly as well making this a great spot to come for lunch if you're on a time crunch. I got the mexican omlette which had a slight apice kick to it and the chorizo gave it good flavor. Eggs were nicely cooked, not runny and pancakes were super fluffy and tasty. Highly recommend.

    The food was super good! The waiter here is always so nice and very quick with the service! I would 100% recommend! The soup with a bread bowl is my favorite!

    I didn't know you needed to make a breakfast reservation for Father's Day. I wrongfully assumed that all the dads would be on the golf course, or the pickle ball court, during breakfast. All of our breakfast standbys seemed to be full, and we just happened upon Chipy Cafe. It's a small restaurant, so we sat outside, and the weather was hot, sunny and perfect. I ordered the Italian Bread Bowl and I loved it. It was a hollowed out bread, filled with tomatoes, spinach, onions, mozzarella, with over easy eggs on top. They grilled the bread, and they sliced off the top and grilled that too. I thought it was excellent (I usually don't eat too much bread). My companions liked their breakfasts ok, but I loved mine. I'll go back again!

    Very nice counter with menu to order.

    Nice spot for brunch. It is surrounded by many office building therefore I think it's popular amongst locals. The vibe is like a small cozy everyday coffee go to place. We had pancakes, egg on the traditional bread. The owner seems like a nice and friendly person. Staff members were good as well. Food was nice.

    BLT

    I was craving a BLT and this place did not disappoint. I also had the split pea soup which was a very large serving and it was the best Ive had. Split pea can be tough to get just right but this place did it. If I were a local this would be on my go-to!

    Chipy Cafe is a nice little restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch meals. They have a nice menu with generally reasonably priced items. Located in the City Park shopping plaza in Lincolnshire, Chipy Cafe is a good, no-frills, no-gimmick place to go for brunch, which is what I went for. It's like mom & pop type establishment, which I believe is run by a husband-wife duo. When we got here, we were promptly seated and provided with the menus. The restaurant was semi-busy between patrons dining in and those doing carry-out. We were asked if we're ready to order promptly as well. I ordered the kids two-by-two from the kids' menu, which had two eggs done your way and either two bacon strips and two sausage links (no pancakes) for $7.25 which I thought was a bit high in price for a Kids dish by the virtue of not having pancakes included. I also ordered hot chocolate and a Mexican omlete with hash browns and regular buttermilk pancakes. My omlete had chorizo, onions, jalapeños, cilantro, and Monterey Jack cheese. The food was good. My kid and I enjoyed our meal. The service was nice and prompt. The menu pricing is pretty reasonable. The restaurant got more busy after we got there which is good. I recommend checking out Chipy's was delicious breakfast/ lunch food options.

    Chipy Cafe is the cutest little place to relax and have a nice comforting meal. Quiet, super clean, and excellent service by the owner Michael and his staff. My friend and I were tired of most of the other places in the area and decided to give this place a try. So glad we did. It's a unique hidden gem of a place as it only has around 12 tables. It's relaxing, quiet and casual. It's nicely decorated and the menu has a good variety of items in every category even for the pickiest eaters or people on diets. All the food was made to order, super fresh and delicious. My quesadillas was piping hot and generously filled accompanied by a large container of pico de gallo sauce and fresh cut fruit in place of fries! Everyone else's food look scrumptious too! We both agreed this is going to be our new "go to" meetup spot! We both loved this place. Prices are decent and quality is king here!

    Steak and Eggs - requested rare, but was cooked well-done and very tough.

    We ordered Chipy for breakfast a few more times since my last review. Each time there seems to be something wrong with my order, but it's been much more consistent than previously. For example, my Benedict has the spinach and tomato as promised, BUT they forgot to include my side item altogether (and no it was not included separately in another container - just not included at all). Also, their avocado toast is super yummy and under $10 (at the time of writing this review). Chipy is delicious, but you need to double check your orders. Hoping my next order will be a 5 star.

    California omelet
    Jennifer H.

    I think the omelet was as big as my head :D Seriously, the 4-egg California omelet took over about half my plate and was oh so delicious. I chose fruit rather than potatoes and whole wheat bread. I only made it through about half of my late breakfast. I just happened to be in the area and was craving a healthy (and late in the morning) place and just happened to find Chipy Cafe. It's a small spot with a splattering of tables. But definitely worth it! And I see they also do a good amount of take-out so you can always order and go.

Wanting to ensure I could eat safely, I called ahead and spoke directly with the restaurant manager, who confidently assured me they could accommodate a celiac/ gluten-free diet and recommended arriving two hours before curtain time. The evening began smoothly in the dining room with their specialized prix fixe theater menu, and the server was wonderfully attentive from the moment we sat down. After I informed him of my celiac diagnosis, he clearly outlined my safe options and checked with the kitchen to confirm that the chopped salad starter and the vegan chicken enchiladas main course were completely gluten-free. While the salad was swimming in a bit too much dressing, both dishes tasted fantastic. Because the standard dessert options were off-limits for me, the kitchen went above and beyond to prepare a custom treat, surprising me with a rich and delicious flourless cake with pecans that rounded out the meal perfectly. I did order an Aperol spritz separately, which was not covered under the dinner package, but it was well worth it. Between the fantastic service, the peace of mind regarding cross-contamination, and the seamless transition from a relaxing meal right into a phenomenal show, it made for a fantastic celebration that we both thoroughly enjoyed.

Not wanting to park far and walk far for the theater hubs and I decided to have dinner at Three Embers before the show. It was a great decision! Making reservations was easy through their website and making last minute changes was just as easy. Three Embers is located in the Marriott hotel. It was a larger, open space room with tables well spread apart and comfortable seating. We sat at a nice cozy table by the window. It was perfect for the 2 of us. I can imagine the view being stunning during the other seasons, but being January my view was of snow and more snow amid branches. We were quickly greeted by our server, Anna, who was warm and welcoming. We had bread and butter (delicious), served water right away, and another staff member switched out our table light for a brighter one that was fully powered. Anna took our drink order and gave us time to look over the menu. We started with the calamari which was delicious! It was perfectly fried with the calamari being nice and tender, complete with our favorite parts the tentacle ends, and well seasoned. Hubby ordered the porterhouse which as prepared spot on, medium rare! The fingerling potatoes were SO DELICIOUS!!! They were crispy, fluffy, tender, and such a good accompaniment to the steak! Honestly as a carb lover, I'd be happy with just a big plate of the crispy fingerling potatoes. The carrots were sweet and prepared just enough to be tender, but with a crunch. He appreciated that it wasn't boiled or steamed to death carrots. I ordered the Black and Bleu salad. It was a large portion salad, perfect for dinner without being heavy. The steak was prepared a medium rare and topped with delicate crispy fried onion strings. Everything in the salad worked so well together making it a nice cohesive entree. The really enjoyed the grilled corn in the salad! The dressing was a light dressing and had a hint of sweetness, but not overpowering the flavors. Unfortunately my steak was a bit on the fatty and gristly side so quite a bit had to be discarded. This was the downside to the salad. Overall, the meal exceeded our expectations and didn't fit into what some would think of as "hotel restaurant food." The prices are on the higher side, but for some of the conveniences and location, it was worth it. The service was wonderful! Anna was attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, and so sweet! We never felt rushed. She checked back after serving us each course to make sure everything was good and had perfect timing sensing when we needed our check to make the show. I can see why other Yelpers rave about having her as their server! I would certainly come back to Three Embers for dinner before a show. Parking was easy as we were there before the show, parked at the hotel and entered through the hotel. We walked from the restaurant to the theatre without ever having to step foot outside in the freezing single-digit temps.
