Veggie Omelet had no flavor. Suspect frozen vegetables except mushrooms. Bacon was super salty. More than a brined- tastes like salt added during cooking. Pancakes tough on outside with middle undercooked and doughy. Veggie Skillet heavy on cooking oil to where everything swimming in oil pooling bottom of skillet plate. Wait Staff: came once to check on refill coffee. Never saw her again. Restaurant inside and ambiance nicely done and welcoming. Floors sticky by our table making chairs difficult to scoot in/out. read more

Definitely a good local spot for breakfast. Quiet, clean and good service. I would recommend the chilaquiles with steak! My daughter had French toast and liked them. Hopefully we can come back and try something different on the menu. read more

The food is good, the coffee is a bit too strong but nothing a bunch of creamers can't fix. The restaurant however, is too dang hot. Both times I've been in there in the past week it's been above 80 degrees. I have a medical condition that makes my heart rate spike in warm temperatures. I was sitting in the restaurant sweating with my heart rate at 125. I couldn't drink my coffee or eat my pancakes because the hot food and drink was also making my heart rate go above 150. I've been meeting friends and family here for years and this hasn't been a problem until new ownership took over. I'm going to have to go down the road to meet people elsewhere if having a comfortable atmosphere for customers isn't their priority. It doesn't matter how good their food is if I can't even eat it. read more

Stopped in for lunch on our way to Chicago. Warmly greeted at the door and shown to a booth. Ashley, our server, was very friendly and professional. The menu has a large selection of breakfast and lunch items. You will have a difficult time choosing what to eat. Soups and sandwiches were delicious. Will definitely stop at Eggventure again! read more

I ate the minestrone soup. Came out super hot. Our waitress was very much pregnant. Didn't stop her one bit! Very friendly. Restaurant was clean and quiet as a gen xer had a good choice of music playing in the background. read more

Food was tasty and our server, Aubrie, was very friendly. She made sure we were well taken care of. We would definitely stop here again.

I learned that this gem has new owners, and they are nailing it! Breakfast was SO good, very large portions and the prices are so affordable!I had a BYO omelet, it was huge and came with has browns AND French toast on the side, all of that was $12 - you cannot find prices like that anymore. The menu has a wide variety of options for pretty much anyone, from very healthy options to meat on meat with gravy . The new owner was so kind and the service was great. Highly recommended! read more

Unfortunately we did not have a good experience. Third bite into omelette and there was part of a paper sticker in the food. Told waitress and she simply took the plate away. Never suggested how to fix it. Needless to say, I did not eat. read more

Teardrop she's been one of my all time favorite after church spots. I am sincerely troubled to be writing this right now. Been coming here for years and the service I got from our waitress left a poor taste in my mouth. She kept bringing up that they close at 3, we got there at like 11:45. Very rushing, did not let us look at the menu and rather started telling us what she liked and pressured us to order. I kept seeing her circle the buffet thing near us while she "gave us more time" Before coming back less than 5 minutes later each time. She asked if we wanted a box, we said no. A box was brought anyway and so was the check. It's only 12:40 maybe 1 latest at this point. Once she brought the check (which she never asked if we were done or if we wanted anything else) she never came back to the table unless we waved her over from talking by the kitchen. She also acted like we were putting her out by calling her over, all we wanted was a refill on our soda(which she never offered until we asked) Also, I could hear her loudly exclaiming, that "they are still sitting at it" to the dish person, which would be fine if it wasn't exclaimed so loud it echoed in the store intentionally in our direction. (As we were packing up might I add) very disappointed. I've never had this problem before. There's more things that happened in our visit, but I don't really want to get anyone in trouble. I just want to say how disappointed and how unwelcome we felt, in hopes to bring light on the situation. read more

I had tried this place before and gave it four stars. I give them five today. Home run!! Although they're busy, and short-staffed, the servers worked hard to make our bf real fast experience a positive one. The food was also super tasty and well made. Great job by the whole team! Thanks!! read more

Took the hint after the waitress dropped off our food, with the check. I went to pay it after being stared down by the busser, waitress runs over to the register asks If I'll need a box, said yes. Dropped the box off but took my plate away, that I wasn't done with BUT I was now. Arrived 45 min before closing, didn't intent to stay long, just grab a quick bite and enjoy. Left the waitress a generous tip on a $25, and the last time it will happen as we won't be back. read more

Great food and service. Everyone here is so friendly. Great spot for breakfast or lunch. My favorite is the soups.

Yum! Best breakfast in the area. This is my family and I's go to spot if we are eating out for breakfast. Servers could be nicer though.

Food was ok, service was fair. Never offered a refill, not even in water. Waitress never asked if we needed anything else or if everything was okay. They were not busy and she did tell us we could sit there and chat as long as we like. But it would have been nice to get a refill on my iced tea or at least be offered a glass of water. I wouldn't say don't go here but I'm sure there are other options. read more

I'm not sure what issue my server had with me but her attitude was unpleasant. I ordered breakfast that included toast. She brought out my food, slammed it down and said my toast would be out in a minute. I never got it. The only time she came back was to throw down my check and walk away. By then I was done eating and over it all. One extra star for the very nice lady at the counter where I paid. An older guy walks in as I'm paying and my server is super sweet to him. Turns out it's her dad. So I guess it's that kind of place. I was just passing through on a road trip but wouldn't go back. read more

We come to Tear Drop pretty often and the food is always delicious. Unfortunately the last time we came for breakfast our service was terrible. We sat for a long time before being greeted, took 30 min to get our drinks, and after we got our food our waitress never came back to check on us. Besides that, the crepes are huge portions and delicious. Biscuits and gravy is amazing! Pancakes are fluffy and yummy. Coffee could be better but best food around for breakfast for sure! read more

Good reliable breakfast place. Nothing fancy just good quality with great staff. Disappointed with additional charge for using debit card.

Can't believe this place exists. It's a real family neighborhood restaurant. Prices are amazing and great for the pocketbook. Had to meet some relatives for breakfast. Well worth the hour drive. Yes I, would do it again. read more

We went for the morning buffet. The food was delicious but all 5 of us ended up with upset stomachs and were running to the bathroom for the entire day. Clearly there was some kind of cross contamination problem. The waitress was nice and the hostess was nice and the restaurant seemed clean. We haven't given it a 2nd chance because everyone is against it since we all were pretty sick from them the 1st time we ate there. read more

Teardrop impressed the whole family! I went here with my mom and little sister while we waited for my car that was being worked on in town. We aren't from the area so we weren't really sure what was the best place to eat. We drove by tear drop and decided to give it a shot. Honestly, the photos on google don't do this place justice. The interior is much nicer and relaxing than the photos show. The food definitely was amazing as well! Even my mom who said "I don't even like breakfast" enjoyed her meal! The staff was nice and accommodating too! Overall this is a great, local restaurant that I highly recommend everyone support! read more

I ordered spacial number 2 - 1/2 Order of buscuits and gravy with well done bacon 2 eggs over easy (they forgot to mention on the menu eggs comes with the special) hashbrowns well done dry. And added side of white toast. Water for beverage. They do have pepsi products here. Total bill $11.58 with tax. $8.95 for special $1.95 for toast. The restaurant has a nice homely clean cut feel. Decore is limited but nice. Now the service. I came there were 2 tables plus me. I arrived around 2pm. The booths have cushioned highback seats and the tables w/chairs are of hardbood consistancy. I was greeted right away and sat immediately. I recieved my water strait away. Took about 3 to 4 minutes before my server Missy was seen and greeted me. She is super friendly and was able to take my order strait away. The food took about 10 minutes which was expected since i ordered hasbrowns well. I recieved my biscuits & gravy first the server stated the rest would be out soon takes alittle longer for hashbrowns. About a minutes later i recieved tje rest of my food. I felt there was too much gravy on the biscuits. My eggs were perfect hat and runny in the middle whites fully cooked. Hashbrowns has a great crisp texture just how they should have been. Bacon although well done just a little too well done but not burnt. My toast was lightly toasted on one side and well toasted on the other. I would recommend this over Grandmas which has been here for years and over the one pancake house that uses a shared kitchen with 2-fers Pizza. Prices are reasonable food was great. I will be back. Menu is very extensive though. read more

I am not a big coffee drinker but their coffee is really good. Pancakes are yummy too. I got the Denver omelet and it's good and filling! The waitress was attentive as well. Always asked if we needed refills or anything. read more

Horrible!! The Service was Horrendous. The waitress had 5 tables and no they didn't all come in at once. Asked for a table the Owners Son told us you'll sit where I seat you. Should have left but know we stayed. Took 15 minutes to get coffee and another 10 minutes for creamer in which the guy dropped a handful on the table no Bowl, plate just drop. The Food was below standard as it came in different times. No butter for the pancakes had to get up walk to the counter to ask for some. No syrup had to get up and get it. The Eggs went to another table had to wait for another order. It was a Fiasco! The owners son walked by the table 5 or 6 times ignoring the problem. My eggs went from scrambled to Overhard. With Bacon. I ordered 2 over easy with Ham. I never got my order and they were rude because I refused the other food. Save Your Money this Crap Show isn't worth it. read more

Awesome service and the Reuben Sandwich was an amazing. Definitely gonna try and eat here more often.

Terrible service and below average food. Waited 25 minutes to be seated, no problem, they were busy. Issue was the lady behind the front desk had no clue who was who and patrons were arguing who came first. Finally sat down and had to wait 20 minutes for anyone to even come say hello. Older gentlemen came over and said, "we're busy, you want something while you wait?" We ordered a couple coffees and he brought them promptly. Unfortunately, the coffee had ground in it. Finally 10 minutes later, so 30 in total, our waitress finally arrived. We order and she disappeared. 15 minutes later our food is delivered to the table next to us. We had to flag another waitress down to collect our food. Also, half my order was missing. My wife enjoyed her French toast, but my skirt steak was tough, chewy and full of fat. After we finished our meal, we waited another 15 minutes for our check. My wife had to get up and go up to the counter to ask for the check. The experience took over an hour and a half and we only ate for about 20 minutes. You do the math. read more

Today I was in there and Karrie was our server and she was super friendly and very efficient and was one of the best servers I have ever had! Her personality was amazing and I will definitely be back and asking for her! The meal was amazing and Karrie recommend the food we ordered! It was delicious! read more

I stumbled across this place after checking out a candy store down the street. Lots of seating, it was early Friday afternoon and had people in there. I accidentally found myself on a Tuna Melt Tour of the area in about a 10 day span. Why tuna melts? No clue- I love tuna, and cheese and fries beyond that it is not something I regularly order. My son got the grilled cheese and fries (he was also on a Grilled Cheese Tour as he was on this adventure with me). The fries were good- there was an option of season or unseasoned. I should've gotten the seasoned for myself to check them out but didn't. He ate most of the sandwich- He usually only does one half but started in on the second half. If I'm being honest in addition to enjoying the food his enthusiasm was due to his motivation of the candy in the car from the candy store we just left. He's weird about his grilled cheese. Can't be dry, no fancy hard crusty breads so I call this a win on Kid Yelp. I've dedicated an entire paragraph to a 3 year old and grilled cheese. Out of the 3 locations I had hit up for tuna melts (Larry's Diner, Old Fashioned Pancake House, and here), Larry's was more pickley, OFPH was right in the center, this one veered less pickles more mayo. Which is how I like it. The rye bread was marbled and nicely toasted. The soup, which if I recall was Chicken Florentine (the other choice was Navy Bean and that stuck with me because I began humming "Yankee Bean" from Seinfeld). It appeared to be fresh made- chunks of shredded chicken, the veggies looked like they were hand chopped, it was flavorful. The portion was large- I really enjoyed it. Overall staff was friendly and attentive. Price was similar to the other 2 places. It was spacious and clean. The only thing that left a bad taste for me was there a staff member who kept speaking to me in Spanish- while I understand it, I do not speak it. I kept answering her in English. This doesn't bother me as I'm used to it. But right as we were leaving she asked me if my son spoke or understood Spanish, I said no, and she made a face and asked why. It is none of her business. Full stop. I was caught off guard and mumbled something (I don't even remember) and walked away. It probably would not have even registered for me if she had not made a face and asked why. But I walked out with a WTF feeling. read more

Our class went here for brunch. We are a life skills program for students with disabilities. We are learning about budgeting and calculating tips and we needed to practice in the community. The staff welcomed our very large group of 18 people. The waitress Angie was very patient with us. She knew the menu well and was able to answer all the students' questions. She allowed us time to read the menu and calculate our totals before ordering. She asked about our time constraints for class and had the food out in a matter of minutes. The students couldn't believe how fast the food arrived. The owners came and checked on us several times. The dining room is nice and spacious, allowing plenty of room for a wheelchair. Here is what the students had to say about the food: Everything was delicious! The hamburgers were huge. The baked potato omelet looked and tasted amazing. The pancakes were large and fluffy. The bacon was crispy. We highly recommend The TearDrop Pancake House. read more

We stopped in for breakfast. This is a newer restaurant with a very large dining room. It is spread out so you are not sitting on top of other customers. We really enjoyed having our own space. There are tables and booths. The service was very friendly and quick. Our waitress was very good with checking on us and keeping our drinks and water filled. I ordered a custom skillet with ham, eggs, cheddar cheese, green pepper and onions eggs over medium with a side of toast. The meal was delicious but it did take a few minutes after my meal came for the cheese to melt. My husband ordered the country fried steak which was good but not homemade the gravy however was homemade and was very good. My husbands meal came with pancakes which were very large and fluffy. They were sweet and very good and will definitely get the pancakes with my meal next time. We will be back. This is a great new addition to Minooka! read more

Came here after a late check out at a nearby hotel. It was close to shutting down. With a large group that included children we were pushing it with good food and service. We almost believed we had barked up the wrong tree when our waitress wasn't exactly thrilled that we had imposed on her quitting time. Needless to say we were willing (yep, all 25 of us) to leave however the manager/owner assured us that they would accommodate our us. I'm glad we decided to stay because the food was delicious! I ordered a Mexican skillet which was seasoned perfectly and the ingredients were fresh! Everyone enjoyed their meal and with the portion sizes we were beyond satisfied! To top it off they gave us free take home pancakes which were amazing btw! read more

When bringing an issue up to the owner at cashing out. She got very defensive. Called me a liar when I stated I asked for my food cooked a certain way. Because it was not written on the ticket. Was not interested in any of my issues. Was simply told to have a nice day. Breakfast order was incredibly greasy. Had to hunt down refills 2nd time in a row the servers are to overwhelmed to actually check on tables. read more
