I have been past this place several times on my way to another eatery in the area and after reading all the four and five stat reviews I thought it was worth a try. Enter the place at 7:30 am and I'm the only customer there and they had more employees than customers. My waitress seemed very pleasant and attentive to my table. The restaurant has minimally decorated and clean looking. They have several T.V.'s mounted around the dining room. Opted for a skillet breakfast with a side of toast. While tasting fairly decent, the ingredients were finely chopped, the ham was almost shredded looking. This with the gravy made for a very liquid skillet. The thing I thought was weird is that they use a brush to apply the butter to the toast, I don't know seeing that image made my think that my toast tasted like machine oil. Coffee and skillet was $10.50 before tip, a bit pricey for breakfast in this area and type of restuarant. read more

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and this place never disappoints! Their biscuits and gravy are to die for. Just make sure you have someone to share them with as it is a very large serving. A wonderful place to have breakfast, both affordable and delicious. Two enthusiastic thumbs up . read more

We had used Egg Beater Café today for our holiday luncheon at work. Order was ready as requested. Greek Chicken with potatoes and Carnitas with rice were amazing. Our employees raved about the food. Chuck's assistance on menu planning and quantity for 65 people was on point. Please consider Egg Beater Café for your catering needs. We will be sure to use them in the future. Great job! read more

No no no no no. The food was delicious. DELICIOUS. This place beats Tony's in brookfield AND Blueberry Hill in dtlg. read more

Had an awesome breakfast. Great service, tasty food, definately worth a stop for breakfast!

We come here all the time. Great food. Super quick. Good coffee. Staff is super friendly. Family friendly. Breastfeeding friendly!

Very nice little breakfast joint, fresh food and friendly service. I highly recommend.

Great little place! Very sweet and hospitable waitresses. Fast service and satisfactory meals. We had the farmers omelet, tex-mex skillet with chopped jalapeños, pancakes, and crunchy french toast. The crunchy french toast was a LITTLE too sweet for my liking but my husband loved it most. Tex mex was amazing with the added jalapeños. Not really what I'd call carnitas but still tasty. My hubby didnt really like the omelet that much, it was pretty plain to him. He gives it a 7 out 10. Pancakes were fluffy and moist. Also good coffee! read more

Well-- wonderful reviews on service and cleanliness well deserved. The very BAD news! I noticed a review which said gotta try the skirt steak and eggs breakfast---stated unbelievable for $10.00!!! Wow---I'm in ---love skirts and eggs!! Well I consider myself somewhat of a aficionado of skirt & eggs . Food prompt and hot BUT steak rather on small thin side but everything tasted just ok. Now the kicker---I should mention I also had coffee. Honestly, I would not order this again here. Now the tears --- received the BILL $19.60!!!! WTF!!! I have had filet mignon and eggs cheaper !!! C,mon!! C ya wouldn't want to B ya!!!! Adios Amigos read more

Egg Beater Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lyons, Illinois

Food was decent, nothing too special just a traditional breakfast place in the area. The lack in stars is for service. We were not greeted when walking in, we stood there waiting for someone to tell us if we seat ourselves or to seat us. The server came to check in only once and was very quick and dry when communicating. When we were leaving no one welcomed us back or thank you or have a nice day. read more

First time. Spotted the place while looking for new place for breakfast THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE PLACE!!! A skirt steak breakfast for 10 dollars??? Yes!! read more

Fast, quick and friendly service. The food was really tasty. My favorite part about them was their hashbrowns. I would delicately come back here again. The place is by a very industrial place. read more

Incredible breakfast burrito hidden in an industrial area. Place in really clean, food on point, coffee is the best I've had in months, and overall everyone is friendly and attentive. Could ask for a better breakfast spot. read more

Went to this remote place and was welcomed warmly. The staff was nice, courteous and attentive and all of that jazz. I ordered a skillet with raisin toast and it was very good, the toast was kinda hard but that a small thing to complain about. read more

Everytime we order the same breakfasts, we are quoted a different price. Guess on weekends they jack up the prices of everything. So, during the week I paid $57 for 3 steak & eggs and 2 biscuits & gray. But on weekends, I paid $80. What's up with that? read more

Very friendly and outgoing staff. Frequent refills of coffee without having to ask. I love the fact that my omelette/hash browns don't come swimming in grease. read more

I ordered this morning and it was fine! Until my order was wrong and I couldn't even call you fix it since no one answered the phone. Which again doesn't make sense since I spoke to someone!!! The food is great, the service sucks read more

Went here about 3 weeks ago, and honestly it is likely the last time I go. The service was great, but the food was just OK. My boyfriend and I both had the chicken and rice cream soup which was actually pretty good, but when it came to our main food, I got the Nutella french toast which was extremely dry, my boyfriend got a waffle and he says it tasted like a basic waffle he's made staying at a hotel. read more

We ordered breakfast from a third party service. The restaurant didn't make for 4 out of 8 items of our order and refused to refund us. The manager told me I was not his customer bc I ordered through a third party service and to take it up with the delivery driver. Not his fault! He can't delivery food that was not prepared with our order! Will never order from here again. read more

Great food. Weird part of the city overall and can't say I'll be. Ack. It was good though and is close to the airport.

Service was awesome! Husband and I had two different experiences with the food, but all-in-all it ended up being a, "We'd come back!" verdict. I ordered the Jalapeño skillet, which the hubs and I agreed was great! He had the All-American skillet, with well done hash browns, and they couldn't get the hash browns right. The first time they were actually undercooked. On the second attempt, they were burnt and swimming in grease. The manager really wanted to right the Cook's wrong and offered us a 20% off your next dining card. Having worked in the food industry for many years, I can appreciate that the food isn't always going to be flawless. The fact that management wanted to be sure we didn't leave disgruntled made all the difference. read more

It's an ok restaurant, nothing flashy basic menu, decent food, average service, nothing really stood out

We went there for the first time today and we really enjoyed both the food and the restaurant. It's a little smaller than I expected but got there after the breakfast rush and we were seated quickly. Our waitress was friendly and always made sure our cups of coffee/water were filled. I was blown away with the stuffed French toast, it was the perfect balance of sweetness and crispness served with generous amount of whipped creme. The creme cheese stuffing was soooooo good! I think we may have found our new breakfast place! read more

Egg Beater Cafe - Country fried steak, stuffed french toast, scrambled eggs and hashbrowns. Everything was delicious! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lyons, Illinois

Fantastic breakfast! I judge a breakfast place by the quality of their Eggs Benedict. Egg Beater Cafe did not disappoint. I had the California Style Benedict which was prepared with fresh avocado and ham. The avocado was perfectly ripe. The hollandaise sauce was just the right consistency. The eggs were poached to perfection. A+!! My husband ordered the steak and eggs. He said the steak was excellent - very well prepared. We'll definitely be returning! read more

Egg Beater Cafe - California Style Benny - with fresh avocado and ham - perfection! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lyons, Illinois

The first time my husband and I came here we had a great experience; both the service and the food were great. Today was different as we came in between 15-20 minutes before closing and were told that the kitchen was closed. I understand staff wanting to get out of work exactly when the clock strikes but turning customers away so they can sit at the front counter and count the seconds until it's closing time? read more

The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food is amazing! Probably the fluffiest, buttery pancakes I've ever had!! My hash browns have never been so on point until I came here!! I'm mad I've never gone sooner!! I love this place! Definitely my new breakfast spot going forward. read more

when you're in an unfamiliar city it's really hard to find good food. this place was a total winner. the staff was super friendly, very accommodating of my family and clearly really familiar with a lot of the patrons. It always feels good to know that you're going where the locals go. biscuits and gravy are INCREDIBLE. I highly recommend them. read more

I have been here for breakfast and lunch. Both meals were very good especially the Dijon Burger. The restaurant is immaculate and the décor is very nice. Service is awesome and everyone greets you. This restaurant could set a standard for future restaurants in Lyons. Next visit will be for dinner. Great location, ample parking. read more

A great new discovery, for a great breakfast or lunch....friendly staff and COOL decor. Going back for my second visit, this time with my wife. I'm sure she will like it too! Been telling all my friends and family about this new dining discovery. read more

Food is great, you get plenty of quantity for your money too! Get the Steak and eggs, the steak is huge. Nice young beautiful servers, no granny's serving you here! read more

My wife simply said, as we drove into the parking lot, "I feel over-dressed." It's not in the prettiest part of near western Chicago, but you're there for breakfast, not an anniversary dinner. At least I hope not. Clean, updated, heavily-staffed (read attentive). And while the menu isn't much different than what you'd find in most diners, the food far exceeds what you'd also find in most. Flavorful, fresh, and well-presented. It beats Blueberry Hill by far and the Honey Bee hands-down. We're fans, And will likely be back. read more
