San Antonio Skillet
Kristen D.

One of the top two breakfast spots in Libertyville. Exceptional selection, breakfast offerings, and service. Egg Harbor Cafe boasts a large menu with something for everyone. Traditional breakfast items and some unique favorites such as Shakshuka and chilaquiles. I went with the garden skillet this time around, hoping for some extra vegetables in my life and it did not disappoint. A generous portion, I took leftovers home with me. The coffee was bottomless, and the Bloody Mary was flavorful and a nice cherry on top of Saturday brunch. Our waitress was quick and attentive. The decor could use a refresh, while they've semi-recently updated the front counter, the dining room could use an update as well.

This place is in our rotation for lunch during the week. We ask for Cesar every time we go in - he is incredible. They have a separate GF menu with a ton of options. My friend and I shared GF pancakes (which are the best btw) and shakshuka with GF toast. The spice was perfect! They did remove the impossible sausage as a side so I was sad to see that item go, but we love coming here and will continue to come back!

Promptly seated, service was extremely fast and well attended for. Food was delicious and their bacon was definitely a must have. I was not seating inside but looked lively.

Classic Avocado Toast
Izzy R.

Every time I've tried to come here before I was scared off by the waitlist. I was sooo excited to finally stop in this morning & had really high hopes. I figured it must be so popular for good reasons. It wasn't awful by any means but it also wasn't too special. The avocado toast was a little bland and the fruit cup was tiny. I was really into the tiny skillet the eggs were served in tho that was cute

Harbor pancakes with chocolate chips

Spacious and comfortable seating, friendly service. However, the menu seemed really different from what I had at the Egg Harbor restaurant in Oak Brook. There, they had a long drink list including espresso drinks, and many of the brunch items had the option of having pancakes on the side. Here, no espresso drinks were on the menu - we were told they are about to install an espresso machine so maybe that will change soon. The menu seemed shorter than the Oak Brook location, and pancakes as part of the brunch entree was not an option. Most items came with a toasted English muffin and signature jam (the jam was actually delicious). The brunch selection was pretty standard; the maple bacon was fantastic but the brunch potatoes were bland and looked like they came frozen from a bag. What I did really like was that the kids meals were very reasonably priced - $7 gets two pancakes, a scrambled egg, one fat juicy sausage (or 2 strips of bacon) and a beverage.

Carnitas Skillet
Ida B.

Had brunch here. No wait and staff very accommodating with seating preference. Wait staff helpful with recommendations. Our order was delivered to our table very quickly. Strawberry Mimosa was a refreshing way to start our brunch. Not too sweet. So good!! I ordered the Carnitas Skillet. Meat and potatoes well seasoned and flavorful. Over medium eggs cooked to perfection. I also ordered the Swedish Pancakes. Texture palatable and the light dusting of powdered sugar with Lingonberry Butter and Lingonberries delicious!! My husband ordered Matt's Meaty Skillet and he asked to add Chorizo. He said the addition really elevated the taste with its spicy flavor. He also ordered the seasonal Pumpkin Pancakes, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Yes, I will go back and yes, definetly recommend eating here.

Toast.  Supposed to be avocado toast

Utterly disappointed. Love avocado toast because I like avocado... this toast had thinnest layer and no avocado flavor... for the price you pay I feel this was not worth it.. kind of feel nipped.. I did ask the waitress if this is really how they make the toast (with very thin almost non existent avocado) and she said yes. I showed her the dry edges. Be menus also not clean as they had crusty food on edges.

Potatoes
Madai S.

To be quick, I would not visit again. I had read the reviews and decided to give it a try but was very disappointed with the food. To start off, the potatoes tasted frozen and were undercooked leaving it a weird frozen taste. The fruit was okay, but they had a weird soapy taste. I tried the banana bread French toast and the flavor was fine, but it was burnt around the edges. I had ordered a burrito but the whole cilantro stem was in the burrito rather than the leaves. The service was great and the server was very nice. I also really enjoyed the decorations and ambiance, but the food did not match.

Service was fast, the waiter was great and even offered me a to go for my coffee after brunch. Food was delicious, probably one of the best salmon Benedict I've had in a long while.

Up North Axe & Tap - Axe Throwing Spot

Up North Axe & Tap

Up North Axe & Tap occupies the former Chili U location. There are entrances from Milwaukee Avenue…read moreand the parking in the back. If you're interested in the axe throwing, enter on Milwaukee Avenue as the restaurant is in back and easier to get to from the rear. You can enter either way. I didn't get a chance to check out the axe throwing part during this visit so I won't discuss it. We met another couple and entered from the parking lot at the rear. When you walk in the vestibule, you can only enter or exit on the left as the right side corner of the restaurant is used for live music. On this occasion there was a singer/guitarist playing when we arrived. The other party was seated already so we made our way to the table. There are a bunch of tables and seats at the bar. And the place was packed. Clearly people knew the singer and were there in support. The speakers were turned up and it was hard to hear the conversation at the table. It's a nice menu and has a lot of options. This would be a good spot for our Burger Club, as there were a few options to choose between. In addition to the burgers, there were other handhelds, some nice looking entrees, salads, and nice starters. I opted for one of their burgers and asked for it medium rare. It was perfectly prepared and was quite delicious. My wife got a salad and added chicken. There was a ton of chicken in it. It looked nice and she said it was good. Our two companions ordered burgers and a chicken sandwich respectively and also commented on how good the food was. Our server was very attentive and was constantly refilling drinks before being asked, asked how we were doing, if the food was to our liking, and cleared up finished plates. By the way, their ranch is a dill ranch and is quite tasty. I'd give five stars, except it was extremely loud and hard to hear.

Went on a Saturday night with my best friend and it was surprisingly not too busy. Service was…read moregreat and the food did not disappoint. Axe throwing with more restaurant seating in the back with a bar cute aesthetic. They don't have steak sauce for the steak, but the garlic butter makes up for it. We also tried a couple of their Old Fashioneds, solid variety and really good. Definitely a good experience overall!

Not the tourist traps, but more like the small neighborhood places where they can't risk cutting corners. The menu is simple and you don't need much time to pick your order. Its a place where you are probably appreciated if you walk in knowing what you want. That's also authentic to Philadelphia, as I remember. I ordered a classic with ribeye, and provolone. A side of fries and a drink. Drinks are self-serve from the fountain, so I filled my cup and grabbed a table. Only a few minutes later, I had my order. The steak was great.. Plenty of cheese and onion, and on a nice, chewy roll. Look, it's a cheesesteak. Just a darned good, basic cheesesteak. I am not going to attempt to wax poetic about some time in Philly when such and such happened before a Dead Milkmen show, or something. The fries were solid as well. Medium cut and cooked to have a good mix of crispy fries mixed in. They also have a house-made hot sauce that is pretty darned good on the sandwich. If you want an unpretentious meal and are short on time, this is a great option. Good food, fast service and reasonably priced. Give them a try. If you're not a snob, you're gonna like it.

I ordered take-out after driving by here for years. Went with the 6" cheese steak, cheese whiz,…read moreonions and added a fry to make it combo. Service was perfect, it was a pick up aftwr all, ambiance is sterile? Like not much personality...like grab your food and go. But if you want a beer then have some Food: cheese steak was perfect. Meat, cheese, onions and soft bread. Fries...well its hard to keep Fries hot i recognize. So they were plentiful and somewhat lukewarm and under salted. So id order just the cheese steak next time! Definitely worth the stop!
