Food came out quick after placing an order. Chicken and waffles - The waffles were soft on the inside but had a good crispy texture. The chicken was a little salty for me but flavour was decent. The hollandaise sauce wasn't too bad either. I opted for the fruits instead of the home fries so I might have to stop by again and try that next time 4/5

My absolute favorite are definitely the pancakes although it may be a lot of them my favorite is probably the S'mores Galore. The waiters bring you everything the first time you ask. I've been here many times and they haven't made one mistake. The noise level is amazing. It may be a little loud, but it's not hard to hear anyone that's near you at all even in a full restaurant. The wait time is a little long because of how good everything is and there's like never any parking spots because everyone wants to be there but if you wait like a minute, everyone's gonna be in and out of there, it's absolutely amazing. We were here today for my mom's birthday. I'd say that my whole family's favorite breakfast place is definitely Egg Republic. I would highly recommend and will definitely be coming again.

The potatoes were also pretty solid. The flavored tea was nice, it just needed a bit of sugar. Our waitress was super friendly and made the experience even better. She was enthusiastic and enjoyed sharing her favorite menu items, which I appreciated. The ambiance was very welcoming, and I liked how open the space felt. The only downside was that the host who seated us seemed a little short when asking if we had reservations, especially when I asked if they were required.

First time and man, did not disappoint…read more Everything was amazing and it was hard to pick what to eat! Got a flight- moon jumper (smoky), black angel (a little on the burnt side), blackberry gose, pumpkin porter (spicy but not fake pumpkin flavor spicy). Beer battered asparagus for the appetizer- delicious! Crunchy which was great! Husband and I split a bacon pickle pizza (omg!!) and spicy chicken sandwich with wedges (huge, thick potato slices). Definitely recommend the pizza, so flavorful! Spicy chicken was both hot and spicy from the jalapeños and sweet from the sauce. Madysen was our server and was amazing and attentive! If it wasn't 2.5 hours away we'd be regulars! Lots of parking available.

We decided to go with the rustic pizzas that were delicious and unusual: harmony, Korean, chicken and loaded supreme. The crust tasted like it was from a woodfired oven and the Korean chicken pizza was so unusual and tasty with kimchi and pickled shiitake. The fresh from the forest mushroom side dish they gave us a special treat to us was quite a delicacy. Even the farm to table items they have for sale when you walk in to take home are a treat, Especially the homemade marshmallows! Ended with dessert of a fresh orange olive oil cake with just tremendous flavor and blood orange on the side and orange marmalade on the cake. It served exquisitely with a side of homemade ice cream that was to die for. We can't wait to come back! Our waitress, Lupe, treated us like family and was incredibly personal and warm. Put this on your must visit List.

The fish was fresh- including tuna, salmon, shrimp- placed over small celery bites. A variety of sauces were dotted around the plate's edge. The dish would have benefited from some ginger and more sauce. Our entrees included Pork Coppa Ramen- which was a solid dish- strong beef broth flavor and the sambal (chili sauce) -a few cents extra- added a good depth of flavor. The fish bowl- tuna, salmon- with rice, pickled veggies, and gim (Korean seaweed) was tasty. It was even tasty the next day cold out of the fridge. Our server Jack did a nice job- we sampled their roasted carrots- and they were actually our favorite bite. We also had the potato graten and they were tasty- but could have been easily skipped with our Asian dinner vibe. The restaurant has a great eclectic historical vibe and was busy on a Friday night, but still felt spacious. The drink menu is a good selection- we enjoyed wine with dinner (a solid Pinot noir). I would definitely go back to have the pizza- which looked delicious at a couple of the neighboring tables. This is a great date night venue or girls night out.

The side of potatoes, add jalapeno and cheese came with raw jalapenos and unmelted cheese. The apple pancake, with requested extra cinnamon sugar, came with triple apples that overwhelmed the dish.

Can't wait to go back.

Being a Wednesday evening, it was pretty quiet. You can get anything on their menu all day long, meaning breakfast, which looks amazing, and is now the 3rd place in this central IL hamlet that I know has chilaquiles. We got 3 different taco plates to split, and went with the server's rec ... the birria beef, butter chx, and fish ... we couldn't finish the fish. It's pretty reasonable, and would have only been about $60 for 6 tacos and an order of samosas, but I had 2 beers. I digress ... Anyways, I even thought it was a restaurant the kids might like, and they like nothing!

It is a large spot with a lot of seating and plenty of accessible outlets. It was a random Wednesday afternoon, and it was busy but not slammed. They have different types of chairs, but I wish there were more cushy ones available. I was still full from lunch so I didn't get food, but got a tea to warm up instead. They were sold out of a lot of their pastries by the time I got there, but they sounded great. Was happy that it was all vegetarian and vegan and that they roast in-house. The staff seemed to be all students, and they were friendly and answered my questions as a first-timer. Seems like a great spot for students, locals, and visitors alike.

Somehow we had the same order number as another table which confused the poor waitress who was nice. They clearly don't have a system for the wait staff to identify which table has whose food (you order at the front, not your table). We thought we saw my order come out but the eggs were scrambled, not fried, so I assumed it wasn't mine and didn't say anything. Eventually my friend confirmed they made my order wrong and didn't know who to bring it to and quickly remade it. Potatoes were overcooked, toast was dry, and eggs were fried with a good runny yolk. They're good for coffee orders but don't sit down to eat.
