    Corned Beef Special
    Kathleen L.

    The restaurant was really full, but there was no wait so we were really excited to give this place a try. The one thing that I did not like is that the tables are really close together. The table next to us was less than a foot apart (see video). So if that will bother you make sure you tell them you want a booth. You hear every conversation because they have instrumental music playing in the background but you can barely hear it. Our waitress was very sweet and nice. She paid good attention to us. She kept out beverages filled without us having to wait too long so she was an A+ waitress. I ordered the two egg breakfast with pancakes and I told him to keep the hashbrowns because I believe that is way too many carbs for one meal. I wish they would let you substitute the hashbrowns for cottage cheese without the $2 up charge. I would eat here again, but I don't think I would go out of my way to dine here again. They do have salads so that is probably what I will have if / when we dine here next time. The restaurant is very clean and everyone working here is really nice and polite. We asked for two water glasses to go and that was very nice of them to accommodate us.

    Wow! Amazing hidden gem on the border of dekalb and Sycamore. Amazing food, very flavorful and fresh and exciting features cleaner than conventional ingredients. Staff are very friendly and attentive, and everything looks very well maintained and put together. Showed up for a late Sunday brunch date and was seated within 10 minutes despite them being extremely busy. Definitely would come back.

    We tried to come here for breakfast a couple of months ago but the wait was too long. We came back on a Saturday noon in February, and we got lucky this time. We were seated as soon as we walked in. The place was clean, and bright. The servers were friendly and efficient. My kids ordered the BUTCHER SHOP BOWL and the FARMHOUSE BOWL. Both dishes were filled with goodness. I liked their hot and strong coffee too. Overall, I will definitely come back here when I am in the area. The service was great, the place was neat, and the food was satisfying.

    Spent the weekend in town due to homecoming and had to stopped here before heading home to the city. This was one of my favorite breakfasts spot when I lived in Dekalb and attended NIU. The customer service and food did not disappoint. I had the Egg Haven Club that included french toast, scrambled eggs, hashbrown, and my choice of bacon. My friend had the chicken and waffle. Food is still just as good as I remember it.

    The price is increasing and the quality is decreasing. This tiny piece of chicken on this big piece of bread is ridiculous. We have to stop patronizing places like this and take a stand. They are taking advantage of us hard working customers

    There's good reason this place is packed in a Sunday morning. Outstanding service, and tasty food! Omelettes, and other egg dishes looked great and tasted just as good. Coffee was also surprisingly excellent. Asked for a travel cup which they topped off to go. No reason to stop at Starbucks!

    Service AND food here are amazing! This was my second time back and did not disappoint. Definitely worth checking out!

    BISCUIT & GRAVY with EGGS

    i went in looking a mess in my pajamas after coming from the hospital because i wanted to try it but hadn't planned on it when leaving that morning. even though i looked a mess and was on the verge of tears my entire time, their service was so good and my server along with the person who picked up my dishes and even those i saw on my way out were so nice. i liked the atmosphere because it felt classy yet comfortable which i enjoyed. the place is beautiful and each table looks wonderful. onto the food. first off the portion was really good size so made for good leftovers (eating them as i write) and so delish. the biscuits were so fluffy and soft and exactly how i hope my biscuits are. gravy not too thick or too runny. eggs soft but not undercooked. tasted amazing. i got an iced vanilla latte which was a little sweet for my taste since im picky about coffee but still really good. tldr definitely recommend. loved the service loved the food good atmosphere! perfect for brunch date.

    Great, fast, fun breakfast food! Let's start with the service. Unbelievable how quickly this staff worked the room. With it being as crowded as it was, I expected a wait for a table and food, but no the case. This team hustled and not only took care of their tables, but others, as we were offered coffee refills by more than just our server. The only thing that can top 5 star service is 5 star food, and again, Egg Haren delivered. The fresh squeezed orange and orange/strawberry juices were outstanding. I ordered the Butcher's Bowl with eggs over easy. It was very well balanced between the meats, cheese and potatoes, and tasted great. I stopped eating several times, as I was full, but I couldn't help myself to steal just one more bite several times. Also had one of their speciality pancakes that was also very good.

    Chicken and waffles, hash-browns, egg scrambler, and Pumkin cream cheese pancakes.

    Good food and service. Nice full menu and good ambiance. The price is a little steep, but similar to other nicer cafes.

    I've eaten here a dozen times (since December 2024)! The food and menu selections get bigger and…read morebetter each time! I dined here yesterday Saturday 4-25-2026 for breakfast and ordered the Bangsilog (Milkfish with Eggs) and Longsilog (Philippine Sausage with Eggs) for entrees, then for dessert, I had my favorite Filipino dessert, Halo Halo! Everything was spectacularly delicious! My favorite server, Veronica, did a great job serving my food quickly and efficiently, plus also letting me know about the tons of new menu items! The place was packed when I came in around 10 am and was clean and had a festive, family-friendly vibe to it! I'm definitely coming back on Sunday 4/26 for the Ube Pancakes (a new Filipino breakfast menu addition)!

    I've heard that they have Filipino Style Breakfast and wanted to try their Garlic Fried Rice and…read moreEggs. I went with a few friends that love a good Filipino style breakfast. The place was not busy so we were seated immediately. We got the Filipino menus as well as the traditional. I ordered a side of Garlic Fried Rice and a side of 2 Eggs Over Easy and the Ube Pancakes. The 3 guys each ordered the Tap-Si-Log and Garlic Fried Rice and a couple orders of the Filipino Lumpia. Let's start with the Garlic Fried rice, it was good and had crispy garlic bits in it. It was good but typical. The Ube Pancakes were pretty good. You can taste Ube flavoring and it was large. I liked the Ube Cream drizzle. The lumpia was crispy and a decent size. I was told it was good and the sauce was tasty. My friends said the Tap-Si-Log was just ok. By the look of the meat, it didn't have that caramelized sauce on the meat and in my opinion that's what makes or breaks the dish. The looks confirmed my assumption as I was told that it was just ok. The service was good as we got seated quickly but it went downhill from there. First, when our food arrived as it was being placed on the table, one server decided to hand it across the table and stuff in the plate fell into my friend's lap, good thing it was just the vinegar sauce that was in a container. But way pass the plate from across the table? and the person didn't even apologize. Next, the server only came by once to refill our waters once. It's not like it was busy. Then when the server finally came, it was just to plop our check on the table and didn't even ask if we needed anything else or how was everything. The staff just sat at the bar talking as if they were the customers. We wondered if they were coming over to take payment and as we tried to get their attention, they avoided looking our way. We finally got the attention of a staff member and let them know we wanted to pay and he told us we had to go to the front. Yet, no one was there. We stood there for about 2 minutes. Lastly, two people were sitting next to us and orders were taken but it seemed like it took a long time for their food to come. They tried to get the staff attention and they were ignored. Finally, someone came over and gave them an excuse that the system went down and had to be reset. What's the excuse if not checking in them? Maybe the staff needs to be reset. The food was average and the service was terrible. I wouldn't come back to this place just cause of the service. It is too bad cause I'd try other things as well.
