    Sloppy Jose Breakfast
    Genna H.

    So yummy!! Small spot on Green, ordered at the counter and the food took a minute but it was so worth it. I got an iced vanilla latte, and got the Sloppy Jose and the hungry chief. So yummy. Some spots to sit up at the counter and watch them make your food. Good college hangover breakfast spot. Lots of tables to sit at and they have hot sauce on the counter.

    Dr Seuss Burritos

    Glad to have such a nice breakfast and brunch restaurant nearby. It's so near the center of campus that this location already has makes it friendly to students. It is a small and cozy restaurant, with a small menu, but up to now the foods I have tried were all good--I have tried Dr Seuss, Lil Cheesus, Plan B and Mother Clucker. Everything was delicious. I always opt out for sauce and add egg if it does not have, and stuff was nice enough to let me do that. The restaurant is also quite popular on weekends. The first time I went there on Sunday I waited in line for over half an hour! Early weekdays morning is much better. I will definitely go back to try more of their foods. Also I hope they can serve some omelette!

    Hungry Chief Burritos
    Runzer W.

    A great breakfast or brunch place to go! It's neat and clean inside, and the staffs are very friendly. I remember I ordered the Hungry Chief Burrito this morning. Maybe it was because I went there too early, like 8:25 am, and there was a small group of people ahead of me, it took around 10 minutes to finally got the Burrito. The Burrito costed approximately $10, and it was reasonable due to its size and the rich content. It didn't have a too strong flavor, which is good for me because I don't wanna drink water all the time the rest of my day hahaha! Anyway, I picked some sauce on the table to try different taste. It's right on the Green St, so I believe it would also be a simple choice for to-go breakfast on the way to the classroom.

    Goy Vey Breakfast

    Cracked always has me coming back for more. This particular time, I got the goy vey breakfast sandwich. This thing is absolutely stuffed with meat, which I loved, but for that same reason, it was a little too salty for me, and the cream cheese did little to temper that. I was missing an element of sweetness to cut the salt. Not my favorite menu item. I've also come here for the hungry chief burrito, which is tasty, but make sure you add some sort of sauce to it because otherwise, it's quite dry. One thing I have absolutely zero complaints about is the tots. From the plain to the sloppy, you can't go wrong with an order of these -- it will tie together your whole meal. You get a lot in your order too, perfect for leftovers! Although you likely won't have any left once you start eating them. My go-to are the Parmesan truffle tots. I'd come here just for the tots! Although they pair nicely with a breakfast burrito. I'm hoping to try the sloppy Jose next.

    Tater tots for breakfast!!

    We seriously drove 1 hour to come here for breakfast. And this place did not disappoint! A little tricky finding street parking but we were able to find a meter about 3 blocks away. Ordering is simple, you just read the menu and order right at the counter. The food took a bit to come out but it's totally worth the wait. We ordered a smattering of stuff since everyone like something different. We got the Morning blender breakfast sandwich, crispy tots (Yes!), French toast bites (totally deep fried and oily), and the Dr. Seuss breakfast burrito. Totally a hearty breakfast to get the morning started!

    Sloppy Jose with Cheese
    Scott H.

    If your looking for a delicious filling breakfast sandwich or burrito, look right here!!! I am an over the road truck driver and when I urban park, I love to explore local loved food spots. I didn't read reviews, I visited the website, checked out the menu, and everything sounded soooo good. I settled on a Sloppy Jose and a Hungry Chief. Both are stellar. This is a case of what you order isn't really going to matter because the portions are large, the food is fresh made and hot and absolutely delicious. I can't see how you could go wrong and I will definitely be back.

    Chorizo and sriracha tots

    Came here as it was the only place open on green st during the week for breakfast. I was in town for work and am proud to call myself a UIUC alum as well. On this unfortunate day the heat was not working and illinois was in the middle of day two of polar vortex. I kept my coat on the entire time and the employees were miserable and made it clear they were too! I do not blame them. The food is freshly cooked to order a the time and delish! I would come back for sure. Be prepared to deal with Green st and university stupidity as there is no parking and when you find it a block or two away you pay ridiculous rates. Welcome to Illinois, the state and the university.

    Morning Bender with Bacon
    Taylor K.

    A breakfast sandwich is always the best way to start a weekend! I hit up Cracked and figured I'd try out one of their killer breakfast sandwiches. I got the Morning Bender which has cheddar cheese, hashbrowns, a fried egg, cream cheese, and I added bacon. I also decided to try out the Parmesan Truffle tots which sounded so yummy. I was excited to try cream cheese on a breakfast sandwich because I've never had that before, and I've seen a lot of people do that lately. It didn't add as much creaminess as I wanted, would've liked a little more cream cheese tbh. The hashbrown was a little too crispy for my liking but it didn't take away from this tasty sandwich. They give you a ton of tots which was awesome because I had leftovers and turned them into like crispy hashbrown rounds. The tots were my favorite part of this. The truffle oil worked really well and they weren't soggy, perfect crispness and super crunchy. I think overall this is a great little spot for a quick grab and go bite, I would like to go back and try more of their menu because they have a lot of different options and so many things look so good! * * * Check out my Instagram thatfoodiewithglasses

    Cracked on Green is one of my new found breakfast joys. It has a very frat boy vibe, so don't show up expecting it to be super clean or overly pretentious. Despite one of the workers sitting on the counter using his phone after preparing our food, we loved it so much we will keep coming back. They have been very nice and welcoming. Signs posted at the entrance mandate masks to be worn to enter. My fav food item is the Morning Bender!! Cream cheese makes everything better. They have great orange juice too, but the coffee isn't worth writing home about. They play pop music in the dining area that's pretty loud, but I really like how it energizes you to start your day. I understand they deliver and also have a food truck. I wish I had a franchise in my hometown!! Check them out, you won't be disappointed.

    THE best iced latte I've had outside Melbourne, Australia. Food was great too, well worth the slightly higher price point.

    This was only my first or second time trying a food truck on campus, so in the CU food truck…read morecommunity, I'm a novice at best. From what I can tell this is a very new (and good) addition to the food trucks on campus. I happened to be walking near the east side of Siebel around lunch time when I saw the Hendrick House truck setting up. I went up without even having to wait in line (1-2 people milling around, if that) and was greeted pleasantly by a cashier. I asked a couple of questions, checked out the short menu, and read their claim of only "fresh, local organic food" and decided to go for it. I ordered the "chicken taco" for $6, which was actually three hard shell chicken tacos loaded with lettuce, cheese, onions, salsa verde, breaded spicy chicken and probably some other ingredients I'm missing. They took about 5 minutes to make, and were absolutely delicious! A good amount of food for the price. They only had 4 things on the menu when I was there, and they were $7, $6, $4, and $3 (the $7 item being a steak sandwich). This is not a place trying to rip you off, and everything seemed fresh. Go check it out! Enjoyable experience all around. I would recommend this to anyone.

    Hendrick House is a farm-to-table food truck which means quality ingredients. That was apparent…read morewith the falafel we ordered. However as for it fulfilling my falafel craving, this did not do it. The dish was very difficult to eat (no way to pick up the wrap/taco). The falafel pieces were very large and not quite the crispy texture associated with falafel for me. The flavor was good, just no craving fulfillment.
