The tables are comfortable with tables and booths available and everything has a classic diner feel. For my breakfast, I got their sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on sourdough which was large, flavorful, and filling. Truly, a classic breakfast sandwich in the best way. It came with a side of hashbrowns that were buttery and crispy Our server was a delightful, prompt, and friendly. Get to it!

Wish all food was presented at the same time, and that we got our drinks first. It was crazy how our drinks were the last to come out. The brown boba in the Oreo cheesecake tasted weird. And the texture was more in a gross jelly way than what I'm used to. Cheesecake Oreos flavor was a bit lacking in my opinion DRINKS ARE SUPER OVER PRICED FOR THE AMOUNT UR GETTING Workers were nice - no complaints Seating should be improved. Should have cushioning and better table and chair space. The bleacher set up and the crazy small stools and tables is not very comfortable, especially comfortable to look at.

This was one of the worst examples of customer service I've ever seen…read more My friend and I decided to try to place out and she ordered one of their rolled gelatos, and it looked like a completely different product. They refused to provide a refund or replace the order with something else. The only English speaking lady claimed there was no manager in the building, and later claimed she was the manager. She claimed that if she gave my friend a refund, she would get fired, and resulted in police needing to be contacted. I order a taiyaki and it was burnt and overcooked. Had to wait +30 mins. Italian soda was also 90% ice. DO NOT COME HERE. Ambiance was meh.

Very clean and plenty of air conditioning no matter wherever you seat yourself. Wait staff attentive. Had the B&G it was average imo for a cafe. I didn't set an very high expectation for breakfast. In general all breakfast places are pretty much the same exact food. The only differences being location and service. That being said this place that's probably a two person operation that serves all the basic breakfast styled foods with a small menu. So, no complaints from me. 12/2023 Food 4 slightly above average meal. And breakfast is available all day. Ambiance 5 not too crowded good place to meet up have good conversations and not be drowned out with your typical noisy breakfast crowds. Service 5 we were the first through the doors for breakfast.

I love the wings, mac and cheese, and the savory pork chops! The layout and set-up of the restaurant is a modern open layout.

WOW!!! So glad we stopped in today, I've been driving by regularly but never had time to stop. Our…read moreserver was amazing and on top of our drinks, checked in several times to make sure the food was good. I believe the owner (or possibly the chef) stopped by and made sure everything was up to par as well. I honestly thought it was going to be a much smaller space as when I'd driven by it looked small, but there was so much seating inside! The decor was beautiful, too, and the music was awesome. We both had chicken and waffles and my LORD it was so good! The waffles were so crispy and flavorful (I've seriously never had waffles so good in my life) and the chicken was breaded well, perfectly seasoned, and was super fresh. I'm pretty picky about sweet tea. If Wilford Brimley doesn't side eye me with serious concern as I drink it then don't even bother. This was so perfectly southern sweet I was in heaven. Sweetest sweet tea I've had in Illinois. I'd go back for that alone even if the food was just okay. We had decided on fried green tomatoes (which were soooooo dang good and zesty!) when she told us they JUST got fried okra and I said both. Just give us both. I'm a fried okra fiend and was so happy I could've cried. The okra was fresh and perfectly crispy, and the seasonings, again, were immaculate. Absolutely cannot wait to go back. (I just need to give my stomach a lil rest, we both took home over half of our meal there was so much.)

First, let me say that I clearly see why there are mixed reviews of this café here on Yelp, as I…read morehave mixed feelings about our dinning experience as well. Our first impression of this café was the trash that was piled up outside the front door. I just assumed that it was part of the morning cleaning routine until I overheard a regular customer comment that it had been there since the day before. Upon entering, it was apparent that cleanliness was not their highest priority. It certainly wasn't "filthy," but it could stand a good cleaning. That being said, everything else was very good. The food was delicious, the coffee was hot and very good, and no complaints about the service at all even though there was only one young man running the dining room. The prices were very reasonable as well. Unfortunately, they let slip the cleanliness aspect of their establishment. No complaints otherwise.

Thankfully we still were able to get one cider, and they had a selection of other beers. The cider was tart and refreshing, and I really like the berry mocktail, which had ginger beer, and a mix of berries in it. As for food, the Nashville hot chicken sandwich came with a lot of heat which was great. I got the dry rub version, which is spicer than the saucy version. The horseshoe sandwich is a local favorite, which is an open faced sandwich with sliced bread topped with meat (we got the angus beef), fries, and cheese sauce. It was quite heavy and creamy because of all the sauce. Overall we enjoyed our meal and our server was very friendly, although service was on the slower side.

We came here on a Sunday before a matinee at the Hoogland -- full of hope, hungry, and maybe a…read morelittle too optimistic. The building is beautiful, the location is perfect, and we thought, "Hey, maybe those bad reviews were just people having a bad day." Spoiler alert: they were not. Service started strong. We were seated right away, and they even brought coloring pages for our kids -- a nice touch that gave us false hope. Then the food arrived, and it was like watching a plot twist in a bad movie. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Pony Shoe. It came out looking like someone microwaved a bag of frozen chicken tenders and tossed them in buffalo sauce for moral support. The cheese sauce might have been homemade -- it was grainy enough to make me believe someone whisked it themselves -- but there was barely any. Also, who hides the cheese under the fries? That's the star of the show! I had to beg for more, and even then it arrived lukewarm, much like my excitement for the meal. My wife ordered the Pork Schnitzel with "spaetzle." Except it wasn't schnitzel; it was a pork cutlet that had clearly seen the inside of a freezer longer than most people's leftovers. And the "spaetzle"? Nope. Straight-up spaghetti noodles. The mushroom sauce tasted like it came straight from a can labeled Cream of Disappointment. Two of the kids got cheese pizza -- or as I like to call it, "Frozen Circle of Regret." My son's "chips" were somehow both soggy and chewy, a texture I didn't even know existed. Frying them until they're crunchy shouldn't be rocket science, but here we are. Everything was bland, flavorless, and missing any sign of seasoning. The best dish of the entire meal? My daughter's burger on her Pony Shoe -- mostly because it resembled real food. And just to add a little flair, nearly every plate was dusted with dried parsley. Because, of course, nothing says fine dining like sprinkling dried parsley on frozen food. This place has serious potential -- it's got the space, the charm, and the perfect downtown vibe. But if your secret ingredient is "frozen," no amount of parsley is going to save you.
