I loved the fresh fruit that was served was great.

I had a single burger but it was very salty and a bit overcooked. Decent sized and of fries accompanied it.

I do see people picking up orders but our last two visits there were only one or two other tables. I had the fish and chips (a special). There were four very large pieces of breaded fish on a pillow of fresh cut fries with a delicious sauce (homemade tartar?). Needless to say I could not eat it all. My companion had (the usual) turkey burger, which is one of their favorites. This is good food, freshly prepared, don't know why nobody is here.

While I understood the line to order (it's popular and it was just after 1230), I didn't understand why numerous orders after mine, came out first. One woman checked on me and went to look for the cranberry chicken salad. I continued to wait. I asked a second time. Shortly after that, I got it. It was 1255, so I had to switch to takeaway re in house. To their credit, they gave me a free cookie (I won't eat it but maybe I can find someone else to give it to) and it doesn't seem like this is "normal". No one else waited as long as I did. Maybe I should have ordered a sandwich, but the salad was just average. Not bad. Not special, in any way. I would have liked a little more chicken. It was definitely okay. I like the vibe. Staff seem really friendly. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here though.

Needed some good diner food after a night out drinking, so we headed over to Sandy's!…read more Some street parking available! This diner is quaint and everything you want from it: bar or booth seating for small to medium groups, the kindest staff to welcome you in, and comfort food to fill your needs! No frills at this establishment, but you don't need them when everything is so wonderful! Ordered up the Sampler, which included a little bit of everything! Scrambled eggs, sausage links, and potatoes was just what the doctor ordered! The star was the french toast, which was the perfect sweet finisher for me! Great spot for that classic diner breakfast in Highwood!

There are just a few tables out front, a cozy diner counter, and some tables in the back--it has that small-town charm that makes you feel right at home. We had a party of seven, and they made sure to seat us all together without a problem. The restaurant was super clean, the food was delicious, and the prices were very fair. What really stood out, though, was the service. Our waitress was so kind and attentive, checking on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. When she found out my son had just graduated, she said she would have given him a discount--but since he had already snuck off to the counter to pay, she gave him a coffee cup instead. That thoughtful gesture meant so much to us and really showed how much they care about their guests. I'll be recommending Sandy's to everyone I know. It's the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again.

It was nice since it, with few people there, it was quiet. Our server was excellent - greeted up promptly, checked in with us a few times while we ate, was kind when we left. I had the vegan pancakes. They were okay - made with alternative milks, you really can't tell the difference. Without eggs they tasted good but were very dense and heavy. There were three pancakes in a stack and I was able to eat about half of them. I do like Eggspresso. I'm glad I had the chance to try the vegan pancakes but will get something different next time.

Today, I visited for the very first time to try one of their vegan options. I arrived around 7:15 on a Thursday morning, and it wasn't busy at all. My friend and I were able to choose a cozy booth by the window. (By the time we left at 9:00, quite a few booths were filled!) The service was great, and our food came out quickly! The vegan waffle was generously sized and made fresh in the kitchen. It had the perfect texture--a little crispy on the outside, yet warm and chewy on the inside. There was just a hint of sweetness, so I hardly needed any maple syrup. The decor is very cool--I absolutely love the color scheme! Even the restroom was charming. When I walked in, I noticed a sign on the wall that said, "Hello Beautiful." Although it's a small detail, I also appreciated that the trash bin was placed directly beneath the paper towel dispenser and right next to the door. It's those thoughtful little touches that make a difference. I can't wait to come back and try more of their vegan options!

Fun breakfast spot, however it is very busy and the tables are very packed…read more I went here with my family to celebrate a birthday and while the menu presented many options, something to suit everyone, I was displeased with how closely packed the tables are and how small the surfaces were. We had 4 people at a 4 top and just barely fit all of our food dishes and drinks. The passageways between tables were also very narrow. It's understandable that with such high demand for seats, the tables were small and closely packed, however it did take away from the experience. I ordered the briskillet with a side of the Banoffee pancakes. I appreciated that you could order a specialty pancake as your side with a main dish, as I wanted to try something both savory and sweet without having to purchase two full entrees. The food was large in portion size, so I ended up with leftovers that were just as enjoyable as the next day. Due to the craziness of a weekend crowd, I probably would only eat-in here again on a weekday in hopes it would be more calm.

But as the restaurant has gained in popularity, service during peak hours can get iffy. Our server this morning was friendly but she and almost every other employee looked slammed. We didn't mind waiting for our food but it definitely took longer this morning. It may have been the perfect morning weather colliding with a long weekend, but we had to flag someone down for syrup and butter for the pancakes. Despite a less than amazing experience, we still love Buttermilk.

Eggsperience is a big open and airy room in an antique white and light blue coloration making you feel at ease and welcome like a nice Spring day. We were seated at a table for four, but an additional person joined us and we figured we'd make room for five at our table. The staff insisted we move to a five-person round table despite them being busy. It was a nice sized table and gave plenty of room for five to six people, Our server was a lovely girl who was always coming by. The menu is huge and since we were all talking and having a good conversation, I never really was able to focus, so I ordered a traditional two eggs any style with meat and toast or pancakes. I got my eggs scrambled and dry, with bacon crispy and added diced potatoes (the ones that are just potatoes and nor peppers and diced onions), a toasted English muffin, and asked for a Diet Coke. She asked if I wanted Diet Pepsi or Pepsi Zero. PEPSI ZERO?!!! No one ever has Pepsi Zero. I said absolutely yes to the Pepsi Zero. So she brought me two mason jar mugs because she wasn't sure which was the Diet and which was the Zero. Apparently a staff member attached the two drinks to the wrong fountain heads and she wanted to know which I wanted. I was able to pick the Zero out fairly easily. How cool, Pepsi Zero. Anyway, we all got our food nd mine was made perfectly the way I ordered it. The eggs were made dry (not cooking with butter or oil), the potatoes were just roasted potatoes, the bacon was crispy, the English muffin was toasted (so my whipped butter filled in all the nooks and crannies - as they should do as advertised on TV), and the drink was Pepsi Zero! And our server was quick to replenish drinks. Plus, the cost does not break the bank. Many breakfast places tend to overprice their breakfast items. I wish I came here sooner. I't's easily one of my favorite breakfast places (easily in the Top 3). It was not just a pleasant experience. It was an Eggsperience (sorry, had to do the cheap pun!) :)

Eggsperience in Wheeling, IL on Dundee Road…read more We were pleasantly surprised by the modern, elegant dining area with high ceilings, and there's plenty of parking for customers. One tip: the parking is a bit tricky to find. You will need to turn into the lot and take a hard left around the building, so don't worry if you miss it on the first try! We ordered several different entrées, including some of their breakfast specialties. The food was decent, though it didn't quite stand out for us compared to other breakfast spots in the area. That said, the servers and staff were all very courteous and attentive, which made for a pleasant visit overall. If you're in the area, it's worth a try to see if it suits your taste. It just wasn't a personal favorite of mine. It seems there are fan favorite that come back over and over again.
