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

Let me begin by saying this restaurant is a gem in our community. Very grateful for its presence. Delicious meals prepared with love. Always a good value. Friendly waitstaff and owners. Lively and happy atmosphere. We visit weekly. read more

I love this family friendly restaurant. The service is top notch. The staff is courteous and friendly. The food not only looks great but also tastes great. It definitely is NOT a diner and the look and feel of the inside is clean, comfortable and inviting. A wonderful experience. Reasonably priced too. read more

Good: Spacious restaurant with lots of tables. Plenty of parking spots. Clean. Bad: Poor service from waitress (training issue? lack of experience?). Cheap utensils (a step above plastic ware). Average: Food. Nothing special but certainly edible. Really not much more to say. It's nice to see a viable business in the area. I hope this place does well. There is plenty of room for improvement. read more

Service was great. Everything we ordered was well made and satisfying. We will definitely return and we would like to try some of their specials of the day. read more

Drove out from Shorewood for a quick breakfast. Food was on the table quickly and coffee was never empty. Soup was ready before 9 am! So were the sandwich specials. read more

Here for the first time. Good breakfast selection and Very good pancakes. Will return for more experience and other food choices.

Terrific food with an amazing price. The portions are HUGE. My first time here and the wife and I tried their French toast, pancakes, omelette, and hash browns. At less than $10 per meal, Teardrop is a tremendous value read more

New to the Minooka community! This place is amazing. Love the food, great portions! Clean! The staff is on it and outgoing. My husband and I just love going here because of how friendly everyone is. My opinion is it's attributed to how engaged and involved the owners are- great overall experience. read more

Always good food when I go here. The only issue is the temperature inside...it's always so hot even though the thermostat is at the lowest setting..if you come here you won't be disappointed it pleasse for the love a God don't wear a sweatshirt or long sleeves inside read more

With the pandemic happening I understand that restaurants are sometimes having a hard time keeping up with demand however this morning I called and had a woman take my order for a LG. Container of Cream of chicken soup and extra white rolls. I told her I would like to pay for it over the phone and do curbside pick up. The conversation should have taken at most 5min. Maybe..she told me to hold and put the phone down in which she proceeded to take numerous orders. I can hear her also having a conversation about her hair and how she was going to go to the bathroom and do her hair laughing and joking. Not once did she even bother to hand the phone to someone else to take my payment. I waited on hold for over 10min. Until I just gave up and hung up. This is unacceptable I will no longer be placing an order for curbside pick up or pick up in general. Tear Drop I will see you when I feel safe enough to enjoy your food in person. read more

Outrageous prices for subpar food and terrible service. My and my best friend decided to check this place out this morning and could not have had a more awful experience. Upon walking in, we were ignored as the wait staff took orders UP FRONT, wrote them down, and ran them back to the kitchen. We were asked 3 times by 3 different people how many were in our party and had to remind them we were waiting to be seated (as there was only standing room and no wait area). We were given menus and left alone, with nobody asking for our drink orders or introducing us to our waitress. After several minutes of sitting there, we finally had to get the attention of a woman there to let them know we were ready to order. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger for $9.25. It came with seasoned fries and soup "option," although there was only one soup offered. And it came with all the fixings (except onion, you will have to explicitly ask for that), so I made it very clear that I can't have tomatoes (in fact, I restated it 3 separate times because when she read the order back, she mentioned the tomatoes!) When the waitress asked how I wanted the meat cooked, I told her "medium," and I was actually impressed that she had asked. It meant to me that perhaps I would be getting something decent for the price! What arrived was a well-done slab of meat sandwiched in a small bun; the whole sandwich was no bigger than a Big Mac. Not one shade of pink whatsoever in the whole patty. In addition to that, she forgot the requested onions and included tomatoes. I tried to eat the burger, but I couldn't finish and I politely pushed the plate away. The waitress we had was very kind and asked asked if there was anything wrong. I mentioned that I had ordered it cooked medium and it came well-done. She offered to replace the meal "to-go," which I thought was very kind, so I accepted. The best part? I was still a bit hungry from not being able to eat the hockey puck on bread that was served to me earlier, and I was very excited to try the corrected burger they had sent me home with. THE SECOND BURGER WAS COOKED WELL-DONE. No pink at all. Pros: the ONE kind waitress. Cons: Prices are high for such subpar food and portions. They are stingy on condiments and you have to ask multiple times for things like ranch or onions. read more

Ate here for the first time and I was definitely impressed. Had a basic ham and cheese omelette with pancakes. I figure if they can't do something easy like that then why are they open. Everything was delicious and I will be back. read more

We ordered an omelet, French toast and eggs. The food was good. We will definitely go back soon!

We moved to Minooka a year ago and really missed our old breakfast place! There are not many restaurants in Minooka but We decided to try TearDrop and are SO happy we did! Thankfully we found our new breakfast restaurant. The servers are very friendly and quick. Everything we have tried so far has been delicious! No complaints here! We've also brought out of town guests here and they also really enjoyed the food! We give TearDrop 5 stars! :) read more

This place was average, as average can be. I wish I could remember more about the experience. I will say that I plan on coming back in order to give is a fair second shake. read more

If you go here for breakfast when the owners are there the food is great. However, stay away when the owners aren't there. We are frequent customers and have been there a few dozen times and I would advise anyone to only go on the busy days and times (weekend mornings) The wait staff is always nice read more

Wonderful breakfast! Our waitress was fast, super nice and was on top of everything. The good was excellent and hit. Outdoor seating was available. read more

Linda was a great waitress but unfortunately their kitchen and management are less than desirable. All the hot food was cold and when both myself and Linda told management they did nothing to rectify the situation. Don't plan to go back and suggest you save your money unless you like cold fries, cold sandwiches, cold soup and cold pancakes. read more

I wish I liked this place! I really do as it seems to be very popular in town but I just can't bring myself to love it no matter how many times I try. The owners seem to be very nice people, however the food and wait staff aren't as great. On my most recent visit for breakfast with my family, our waitress (she did not introduce herself so I unfortunately don't know her name) appeared to be in a bad mood and aside from taking our order in the beginning, we never saw her until she brought the check. But this isn't what did it in for me: it was the food. My eggs tasted funny, almost fishy and my turkey sausage patties were poor little inedible hockey pucks. Unfortunately I don't think I'll ever be returning, but I wish the owners the best of luck! read more

Food quality is what makes this place great. Limited hours similar to crispy waffle.portions ample and I always have leftovers to bring home.Service could be better they seem young and inexperienced. read more

Really nice owners and breakfast was great. I had the corned beef hash and it was excellent. I will come back again and again. Now they are doing dinner, will have to try this out. read more

A fantastic breakfast! The best corned beef I've had I think!!! Every dish was great. Did see the Pork Chop breakfast and was crazy large!!!

Fabulous customer service, great prices and awesome portions. My family and I were regulars at a nearby breakfast establishment and one morning we decided to give tear drop a chance... we'll let me tell you we have not returned to any other breakfast restaurants besides this one! We also had dinner here this past week and that was also phenomenal! The owner and his daughter were very friendly and came and spoke to us as well. read more

No one I know has ordered anything worth getting again. The setting isn't even all that good. Their crepes are horrible as they are way too egg-y and their skillets have very little flavor. Will not go back. read more

This is a fantastic place. Service was fast and food was delicious. We had a little bit of everything and everything was homemade (which it had to be) and was one of the best breakfasts I've had in my life. And the best part of it? Extremely affordable. I ate like a king for under $10 read more

EGGVENTURE CAFE - Pancakes Near Me - Minooka, Illinois

Nice restaurant in Minooka. Large place and we were quickly seated which was good with because they were busy. Good food, friendly owner and staff. Kid friendly place but we've only gone on the weekends and had breakfast. We will be back. read more

Good food and service! The omelet was above average and the country fried steak was cooked well and had good gravy. The ambiance is on par with other breakfast restaurants. The music is played too loudly though, which causes patrons to talk really loudly too. It detracts from the overall enjoyment. read more

Thank you for coming to Minooka! I have had breakfast and lunch at this charming resto several times with loved ones, and it is always wonderful! The staff are friendly, they assist each other, the food is fresh, there is never a wait, and there are food offerings for most nutritional requests other than the normal meat-lovers fare in the area. So great to have a high quality resto that believes in fresh food, real cheese vs. plastic ...now if we can get organic offerings, then life would be even better. read more

This place was very good. Only recommendation would be to cook the food a little longer rather than hurry it out of the kitchen. Omelet could have been done more and so could have the country fried steak so the coating was crisp. The over medium eggs were could have also been left on a bit longer. Waitress was nice and coffee hot! We will go back but request our food cooked more. read more

Went today with my daughter. The eggs benedict sauce was amazing. Candace was our server and she was so friendly. I bought the cream corn beef and cabbage soup to take home for dinner and really liked it. Will be going back again. read more

I love TearDrop. They have awesome soups. I have never had a bad meal since going there. The staff are always cheerful and polite.

Have come here about 9 times.Breakfast not much better then anywhere else .Lunch is a bit different My wife and I have had the Reuben sandwich several times almost no meat at all, OK if you want a sauerkraut sandwich,complained all 4 times nothing was done to rectify the situation,we were told it would be better next time ,On our last try no meat again told waitress and she agreed,got the bill and still charged us for meal.WILL NOT BE GOING BACK read more

Service is great! Very friendly, attentive and quick. The food isn't great, there is decent variety, but the burgers, and omelettes we tried weren't very good. We will be back to try something new again because of the excellent service. read more

Horrible horrible customer service The lady owner is not a nice person!!! We will NEVER eat there again. My omelet was cooked all wrong And didn't even have any of the cheese melted when asked for to be fixed And all they did was Microwave it!!!! Ruining the eggs and hash browns all mushy then. When asked to be fixed waitress just took all plates including pancakes and never brought new food... I asked she snorted "you didn't want it.. so Husband had his boxed up and we got check still had mine entree on it So asked askeD the checkout asked about removing my omelet she stated well u didn't want it so left it on. I said I didn't even get food to eat she yelled "I put a discount on it!" I asked to look she was already running the card! I asked her to stop she THREW our card at husband and said "Get out out of MY Restaurant I'm the owner and I'm calling the police" we NEVER even raised our voices at her, to call for that treatment. My husband went to just grab his takeout he set down she ripped it out of hIs hands!!!! Screaming for us to get out! We can't have any of her food OH AND you ask what was the discount? It was a whopping 11 cents!!!! I get people have Bad days but WOW! DONT EAT THERE! Something wrong with your food and asked to be fixed they will take from you and still charge you!!! Then tell u to leave after throwing your card at you! read more

Good food clean place service was okay too however when paying the bill they charged extra for using a credit/debit card. I know they get charged a fee but I feel that should be the owners responsibility but not the customers! Im not sure id be back due to that aspect or Id pay cash only! I dont know of anyother place that charges their customers like that. Was disappointed in that aspect....sadly. read more

Second best [1st one in the American Legion Post 57, circa 2002] skirt steak I had in Illinois in 24 years. The steak was so juice and fresh that for an instant I though I was eating steak at Forth Worth Texas. It was that amazing. I usually don't order steak due to numerous disappointments. Coming from Texas I can say I have some valid degree of judgment when it comes to meat, and Teardrop made me day. The service was cordial and discrete. I don't appreciate when the serves try to become the main character in my eating experience. Although the steak's display brought my immediate attention, I wouldn't say much of the sides. Don't take me wrong the smashed potatoes and the corn were delicious but I would recommend a bit of more décor. The place is immaculate clean and very convenient. Just off route 80 East, exit Minooka IL, quarter mile south. I dare people from as far as Indiana, Southern, Central or Northern Illinois to come and give a shot. They will not be disappointed. read more
