I randomly tried this place after asking Siri for "nearby breakfast spots," and am SO GLAD that I…read moredid! They have a great (but not overwhelmingly large) menu with standard Mexican offerings like chilaquiles, standard American options, as well as French crepes. I had the Berry Crepes, and a side of bacon. Not only were the crepes delicious (and with fresh fruit), but for a little breakfast spot in a strip mall I was VERY surprised by the beautiful presentation. I'm not someone who typically takes pictures of food, but I had to take a picture this time! The bacon was cooked just the way I like it, a little crispy + a little chewy = perfection. They do kind of crank the AC, and even as person who likes it a little chilly, I was a tad cold. But that's a very minor thing, and it would never prevent me from recommending this hidden gem! I'll definitely return to try some of the other breakfast options here, especially after the waitress told me everyone loves their pancakes.

Parked in front at 7:15 and walked in - was pretty dead on a Saturday. Sat at a table in the front windows and ordered a coffee and an apple juice. Waiter was very nice - decor reminded me of a Cracker Barrel style - and with a small bar it's obvious they do more than just breakfast like their name implies. Ordered a breakfast burrito which comes with skillet potatoes. I liked the flavor of those. The burrito was great - egg, chorizo, avocado, and cheese. We split pancakes as well which were good and came with berries and cream. Really liked it here - the locations are 10-20min away from central CHI but the drive is worth it.

You should check it out and experience it!

The Carne Asada Skillet had great flavor and tender meat. The El Burrito had so many different ingredients but it all mixed so well together. For the price, the portion sizes were really good as well. The owner was serving us and was so nice and sweet. The entire place was very bright, updated, and modern. It's surprisingly how big the restaurant actually is. You can't tell from the outside. We will DEFINITELY be back to try more from the menu!

But finally got to go early before they close for dinner since they close around 7:30 and don't…read moreserve. Food so far tastes good especially their bread soft and warm I could put butter but holding back on it. It surprises me that they serve matzo ball soup because I only know two restaurants and one of them is Manny's deli which is expensive for months about soup. Dappers version for matzo ball soup is a little more celery or salty but decent it doesn't have a chicken noodle soup flavor which is not bad as for the matzo ball it's a little more smoother and not as spongy when you bite down. As for the main course I ordered liver and onions instead of bacon with rice ambience is very old school casual I've been to dappers before before because I was invited after a wake for reception and this is the first time dining alone but otherwise it looks pretty decent and the prices aren't too expensive do come here but it's best to come here before 7 pm for dinner otherwise they close the kitchen despite that their official hours is 8 pm to close. That's for their liver and onions it was savory and delicious with a lot of the sauce I ordered it with rice you could have it with bacon but that sounds gross. I finished it off with a delicious tapioca pudding with whipped cream and that was good too. For the price and the quality yeah it is worth it but you could come here before 7:00 p.m. to be a dining room then you are golden I do recommend coming here again

The place was busy which was great, the layout is still the same the owner didn't change anything. When we arrived, the staff greeted us, and the host took us to our table. Joey was our server. He explained to us about the new owner of Fried Egg Cafe. We both had coffee (I had hot, my boyfriend had cold brew) both were delicious. He had the egg Benedict w/hash browns. I had the banana crepes and bacon. Both dishes were good. I'm glad this place is here in my neighborhood.
