Very generous portions and fair pricing. Super fast service, too. I would highly recommend stopping. Wednesday the special is hot beef and we'll definitely be going back to sample that! read more

Food normally good. Service today was non-existent. Love eating here when in town, especially the chicken soup. All good previously. Today, hostess seated us. Then nothing. More nothing. Ignored by servers. Ignored more by servers. Not even a pop in to say "sorry about delay, we're swamped" or something like that. More no service or sign of any server. We mentioned to the hostess on the way out why we were leaving and she just shrugged. Maybe it was a fluke today, or maybe the cafe is under new management. Perhaps rehire the former servers. Always been a great place in Delavan previously. read more

We were staying at nearby Lake lawn Lodge. Asked at the Front Desk for a recommendation. Without hesitation, they said Elizabeth's Café. They were spot on! There were eight of us. Called ahead to see if they would have a table. We walked in and our table was waiting for us. They serve breakfast and lunch. There's a huge menu! Some of us tried the daily soup which was navy bean and chicken noodle. Both tasted homemade and were delicious. Some had omelettes, biscuits and gravy, chicken, and waffles, & burgers. Service was excellent. It's a cozy neighborhood spot. Prices were extremely reasonable. In fact, all of us ate extremely well and brought home leftovers. Amazingly the cost was only a little more than a chain sandwich shop where we had ordered eight sandwiches the night before. And we didn't even get chips just sandwiches. If I'm in the area, I would definitely return. read more

Casual, local, family owned diner. They use to serve dinner but now it's just breakfast and lunch. Our server was nice and took our order promptly. The food was prepared quickly. The menu is very reasonably priced. It was $17 all in for a Denver omelette and a 2 egg/sausage plate. Both included potatoes and toast. Cash or credit. Easy street parking. Best breakfast place in the area. read more

Yeah, I saw the many positive reviews. When I'm on the road, I seek the kinds of places that locals flock to. I didn't plan on writing a negative review, but I must be honest. I dined here on a weekday with a group of friends. For openers, too much seating is crammed into this tiny place. I'm not claustrophobic, but I sure felt squeezed. Most menu items here cost under $10, with just a single item exceeding $12. If this seems remarkably inexpensive compared to prices of diner chow elsewhere, adjust your expectations accordingly. Those who ordered the most basic egg and pancake dishes seemed satisfied. Ditto burgers. The coffee was good. Everything else? Read on ... I and a companion ordered turkey club sandwiches. Served with a bowl of soup and fries (we substituted fresh fruit), the price was a mere $9. The chicken noodle soup, which packed a beyond-salty wince-inducing wallop, was actually the best part of the meal. Then our club sandwiches arrived. While they looked pretty on the plate, they were wholly inedible: Soggy toast, undercooked bacon, overripe tomatoes, and imitation turkey-ish lunchmeat loaf. Beyond disgusting. The fruit was edible except for the watermelon. Rejecting the sandwiches uneaten, my companion ordered a burger and I dug into an app sampler. I found the onion rings to be excessively greasy and the mozzarella sticks contained more crust than filling. Only the chicken tenders were edible. Other lunch items were similarly problematic. Our friends described their eggs Benedict and a chicken salad sandwich as "the absolute worst." Since our server managed to be both pleasant and stoic, I'm giving this joint 2 stars instead of 1. read more

This is my favorite breakfast spot. They have breakfast and lunch. All of their food is delicious and generous portions. The staff is pleasant and very efficient. It's an older place with attractive exposed brick walls and nice comfortable seating. I highly recommend Elizabeth's Cafe, and don't miss their other spot a few doors away.

Excellent, quick service by whole team--water, coffee refills, chefs, food delivery, cleanup! Great breakfast options and fair prices!

This looked like a good place to stop for breakfast on my way to IL so I stopped by on a Sunday morning at 7:15 and the place was 80% full so I chose the right place. I like how it was decorated with woods and stone accents. They have a mix of breakfast counter, tables and booths and I chose a booth. The menu is typical WI breakfast so it's not a Greek phone book but something for everyone. Lots of good stuff but I'm a sucker for country fried steak even if next to no one serves a home made one anymore so frozen will be ok. My food arrive at an appropriate time frame for how busy they were and the sizzling grill sound never stopped while I was there. My country fried steak breakfast looked good and a nice way to start my day even though rainy IL weather canceled my out door plans. The country fried steak was cooked to golden perfection and topped with can country gravy which was mild. My hash browns with fried onions were delicious. My sunny side up eggs were cooked perfectly. My sourdough toast was weird because it was super crunchy and lacked the chew of sourdough toast, I didn't understand what happened there. Overall it's a nice breakfast place and if you get there too late you might have to wait for a table on the weekends. read more

Great breakfast choices! Nice atmosphere. Friendly. We took friends there and we all ordered something different and everything was delicious! read more

Best breakfast spot in Walworth County! Incredible food, my favorites are the green eggs and ham Benedict (pesto eggs Benedict with avocado) and the savory Swedish pancakes! They recently renovated, expanding into the next door business which opened up quite a bit of space and reduced wait times for a table significantly! Super fast and friendly service - I have never had a bad experience here. Such a friendly, local vibe, make sure to check it out if you are in the area - you will not be disappointed! read more

Showed up on a Sunday at noon. Party of 2 with no wait. We sat outside and the servers were really attentive to us. Inside the building, it's VERY tight. It has a really nice environment but heading to the bathrooms in the back I felt like a bull in a China shop. The ambiance is nice though. Homey. I liked the food. I really enjoyed the coffee, and the country fried steak and eggs was super good. I didn't care for the hash browns but it was so much food I didn't care. The gravy was good and hearty and the eggs were cooked well. I chose sourdough on the side. Overall would recommend if you're in delavan. read more

I went here for the first time thanks to Yelp reviews and this restaurant did not disappoint! My 2x2x2 was excellent with 2 pancakes, 1 piece of bacon, one piece of sausage (instead of 2 of the same) and scrambled eggs were all excellent and same with the very kind and attentive waitress. The prices are very reasonable but the ambiance is average for a breakfast place and it was very snug with tables. I will definitely be back when I return. I give this place 4.5 stars. read more

I will keep this short and as sweet as possible, we love Elizabeth's and it's been our go to for breakfast during our weekends at the lake. But this experience soured my love for Elizabeth's and the party of 5 that were there this Sunday will most likely not be returning. Everything went smoothly, as usual until our server Stephanie G. came to drop off our food. When our pancake got stuck to the bottom of a plate since she wasn't using a tray and stacked the plates. She set the pancake sandwiched plate down on the table (meaning the pancake was basically a place mat) when or friend lifted the plate grabbed the pancake and handed it to Stephanie. She quickly apologized and said she would get a new one. To which she then went to the kitchen and came back within seconds with a "new" pancake. But guess what? We flipped it over and same plate indent in the cake! Not only was it just gross but honestly just lazy and disrespectful. I'm a server I get it line cooks can be sassy when you mess up. But I would never serve a guest food that was touched by a usually half assed wiped table and multiple dirty hands. This makes me sad, and I hope this doesn't happen in the future. Do better Stephanie G.! (This isn't against Elizabeth's still a great place just one bad egg that ruined it for us) read more

Everything was fantastic!! Highly recommend. Will be back for Swedish Pancakes!! Biscuits and gravy are a must.

Service is excellent! I asked for scramble melts based on photo I saw here at yelp but it came out nothing like it, it was just OK. And the fruits on the side didn't feel fresh. It's a cute restaurant in the town. I'd recommend checking this place out. read more

Good breakfast with good service! More seating than a couple of years ago.Pretty big menu plus daily specials.

This quaint cafe was very reasonably priced, good, no wait on a Monday morning. We had quick service and liked the broad menu. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars from me was It was a little dark and chilly inside. I just wrapped up in my sweater like most folks. Maybe it was the location of our booth. Coffee flowed and was good for people watching read more

Staff is very nice, food tastes amazing, and the inside of the restaurant gives a very homey atmosphere!

I was greeted as I entered by a friendly young man and was shown to a quiet area, away from the entrance. My coffee was on the table not more than 30 seconds after I sat down. My order for biscuits and gravy, eggs and hash browns were delivered quickly. The food was good and service was fantastic. The great attitude of the employees made me feel like a rock star . I will certainly return. read more

The food was quite decent. I don't mean that to sound dismissive. Most restaurant food is abysmal and this place, especially for the price, is a good value with decent food. It's not GREAT but it's good. The service was good as well. We got refills of water in a timely manner, we weren't bothered excessively, they cleared plates quickly, etc. So why the 1 star rating? Well, when I went there I was with my girlfriend and we're an affectionate couple. We don't get gratuitous in public but we hold hands, canoodle, kiss, etc. We were in a booth near the back of the restaurant, and I do mean *the back*. We had our lips locked in a kiss and very rudely a guy from the kitchen area with a central/Eastern European accent says something rudely about "...is a family restaurant" and then proceeds to hover around us while we sit there. If they had a problem with us kissing, cool no problem, you can have our server come by and politely say "hey guys, we're glad you two like each other but this is making the staff uncomfortable and we don't want our patrons to worry about shielding their children from displays like this" or whatever they think is appropriate. What isn't ok is some jackass who hasn't spoken to us yelling across the aisle in a condescending manner and then watching us like a hawk until we leave. FUCK THAT GUY FUCK HIS SHITTY ATTITUDE FUCK HIS BEHAVIOR FUCK THAT PLACE I'm NEVER going back there which is a shame because like I said, the food was decent and the service was good. read more

Usually good breakfast fare. Today I decided to have lunch. I ordered a French dip. It came with a bunch of sautéed onions and green peppers. Not normal. Then as I picked the sandwich up it fell apart. The meat tasted like sucking on a wash rag after I dipped it in the au juice (sp). The waitress didn't bother to ask why I left almost the whole sandwich. It will be a while before I go back. read more

I stopped for breakfast on my way to a meeting near Rockford. The team of servers was amazing. They were attentive to my needs, as well the needs of their "regulars".

I would definitely recommend Elizabeth's Cafe to anyone traveling through the Delavan area. read more

This place is good. I went with my friend, and he got the pancake's, and I got SOGGY waffles. Not like this place is bad. It's just because of this horrible incident. The bread is rock solid, and the oyster crackers are tasteless. That is just my opinion. -Jonny Dash read more
