Grade A Cafe has both classic breakfast options and lunch options on their menu (e.g. burgers, wraps, etc.). I opted to go with the corned beef hash which comes with two eggs, hash browns, and your choice of pancakes or toast. It was neither disappointing, nor exceptional. Good enough to be enjoyed without any major complaints. It seemed like others at my table who had been there before ordered sandwiches/burgers which they seemed quick to wolf down. Service was attentive and friendly. Our server did a good job making sure we always had coffee on our table and water filled up throughout our meal. Grade A Cafe is a more open-style bistro with a nice quiet breakfast diner ambiance to help ease you into your day. I also noticed the place seemed to get much busier the closer we got to lunch time. Long story short, you won't be disappointed by their breakfast options, but might be pleasantly surprised by their lunch ones. read more

03/30/25 - Stopped @ Grade A Cafe this morning for breakfast. They have an enormous menu selection that is overwhelming. They serve breakfast & lunch from 7am-3pm. This time I ordered the corned beef hash skillet. It was ok but nowhere near as good as Edgebrook Coffee corned beef hash. I should have stayed w/the pecan, avocado, apple, walnut & skirt salad which was remarkable. read more

Met a colleague for lunch and was pleasantly surprised to see the interior updated since my last visit. It was clean, fresh and welcoming. There is indoor and outdoor seating and we selected indoor. Service was excellent ! I had Tex Mex Salad- with some customization and the waitress confirmed it was accurate when it came out. The portion was good and I had leftovers. I definitely will return and try other menu items. read more

Greetings! If you are looking for a SOLID choice for breakfast or lunch, point your car to Randhurst Mall and get ready to be impressed by the food, service, and ambiance you'll find at Grade A Cafe. Today I was there for lunch and decided that the Cracked Egg Burger was the way to go. Fresh patty, excellent house sauce (with quite a zip!), crisp pickles, and a quality bun. Solid effort! They also make a killer chilllaquilles with a great salsa verde...my go-to for breakfast...yum! Other menu items served at other tables always looks on point. They pour a great cup of coffee...better than most! Bathrooms are clean and fresh visit after visit. Service is attentive and focused. I hope you will see for yourself why Grade A Cafe is one of my regular haunts! Until next time...tk read more

This is your average american breakfast place. There are a lot of different food and drink options so there's something for everyone. I came on a Saturday and was seated right away. Our waitress was attentive and overall nice. The food order ended up being 2 smoothies (one banana, one pomegranate), french toast, and the farm stand frittata. The smoothies were good since they use frozen yogurt. The french toast had plenty of berries however they forgot the mascarpone so I had to mention that. Flavor was fine. The quiche frittata had way too much cheese and I had requested to go easy on it but they did the complete opposite. It was still good but I would probably try something different next time. The pancakes were standard. All in all, the food was pretty regular. The ambiance is clean and minimalist so it's a pretty casual atmosphere. This is a good place for a cheap american breakfast. read more

Solid option for breakfast if you're shopping at Randhurst. The prices are on average a little lower than other similar options in the area, but they don't compromise on portion size or quality. The menu is quite varied with everything from pancakes to waffles to omelets to skillets to sandwiches. The food is cooked pretty well here, fresh and hot. The flavors are solid, pretty similar to what you get at other similar restaurants -- maybe a bit less seasoned and less salty. Textures could be improved up on a little bit as there wasn't as much contrast on the crispy and fluffy items as I would've liked. With that said , for the price -- I don't have any complaints as it met all my brunch needs well. The dining room is also quite large and spacious with fast and friendly service. Overall, worth a visit if you're shopping in the area for a hot and delicious breakfast. read more

Located in randhurst next to Mr. Kimchi. Came by for brunch with a friend. We were quickly seated and were the only table in the restaurant. Our food came out rather quickly. I ended up getting the corned beef skillet with my eggs scrambled. The skillet was super hot, but it was so salty I almost couldn't eat it. After adding some ketchup it broke up the saltiness a bit and wasn't too bad to eat. Once you're done eating they bring over the check for you and you go up to the counter to pay we didn't know it at the time so the staff kept staring at us and our waiter eventually took care of it. I wish they had just told us instead. Overall we had a good experience, and I would consider coming back when in the area. read more

Grade C for lack of preparation for a busy day like today on Mother's Day. Place was packed, even if you have reservations. We waited around 25 minutes or so and got seated and ordered right away, but it took about 40 minutes to prepare the simplest food to cook which was breakfast. When the food arrived it wasn't hot and fresh but warm and unappetizing to eat, overall will probably not be back for any upcoming holidays ,till they can handle a massive crowds if ever they will return? read more

Came here on a Mother's Day so I expected it to be super busy and it sure was. Waited about 20 min to be seated which wasn't bad but the wait for the food was worse, about 40 minutes. I have to say the the breakfast skillets, I had the corned beef skillet was delicious! Service was a little spotty and they def needed more help and preparation for busy holiday. I'd probably come back for breakfast but it's really not a destination place to go. This place used to be the Eggsperience and it's pretty much the same stuff. read more

Grease A Cafe is a new and familiar restaurant at the same time. I have been to this restaurant before when it was under a different name. After having a delightful conversation with the manager, I learned that the chef changed the name of the restaurant in order to cook more to his personal style. I could taste the difference. I had the French toast waffle, which intrigued me when I saw it on the menu. This is their Belgian waffle dipped in their French toast batter. This was light and fluffy with a great taste. I highly recommend Grade A Cafe and can't wait to come back to try more! read more

I used to visit this particular location when it was Eggsperience. We used to really enjoy visiting that establishment. Looks like they basically repainted and sprayed everything for a fresh makeover. We arrived and sat down immediately. Service was good and our waitress checked on us several times. Food was passable but coffee was just a tad on the bland side of things. Eggs were OK. Hashbrowns were decent. But bacon seemed like it may have been sitting out for several hours. All in all I've had much worse, but I've also had much better. I think we're gonna take a break from this place. There are far too many breakfast joints in the region that are more impressive. read more

I LOVED IT HERE!! Me and my family got seated pretty quick and we were a party of 6! I met the owners of the restaurant and they both have such an uplifting personality so sweet and kind! I ended up getting the strawberry waffles with a Carmel frappe 10/10 combination. Overall 1000/10 would come again. read more

We were looking for a place for breakfast after an appt at NCH in the area. What a great surprise this was! In Randhurst Village. The service was fast and welcoming. The menu was vast. The service friendly and prompt. I ordered the mederteranian omelette with herb roasted potatoes. Crispy potatoes and very tasty omelette. My husband had a patty melt with fries. The coffee was very smooth and pleasant. Used the women's room and found it spotless. Highly recommend this place! read more

Great food and great service! Had the meat lovers skillet with the pancakes and everything was delicious!

Grade A Cafe replaced Eggsperience in Randhurst Village. The place largely looks the same, and has a similar, if not the same, menu. You can't go wrong with the chicken pesto panini, and their sides of fries are enormous. We snagged an outdoor table and enjoyed dining in the sun, with an umbrella to block the direct light. We were warned there were bees near the tables, but we only saw a couple and they didn't bother us at all. This place is a nice option for breakfast, brunch or lunch! Just note that it closes at 3:00. read more

While the service was timely, the food was a mixed bag. Two out of the three meals we ordered were barely warm, the scrambled eggs were undercooked and the hash browns were unsightly. With so many breakfast options in the area, Grade A gets a D- from me and is at the bottom of the list. read more

I ordered the Pecan Citrus Salad with steak instead of chicken. It was satisfying in size as well as in taste. I would definitely order this again. Few restaurants have great salads, I would know. We also ordered the Mediterranean skillet and the steak skillet. It had too many potatoes but it was over all good. Service is great; our waitress was cheerful and attentive. The restaurant has a clean airy athletic look with lots of sun light coming in which adds the the ambiance. The look is exactly what I look for in a breakfast/ brunch restaurant. Most tables are filled but we got seated down right away. I recommend this place! Family owned restaurant also. read more

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious brunch here last week. After a busy morning, it was so nice to walk into a welcoming restaurant with lovely music streaming. My Greek-style frittata was wonderful! And my husband enjoyed his Corned Beef and eggs!! The sourdough toast and wheat toast were so good, and the hashed browns were light, fluffy, and not drenched in oil...just perfect! And our Acai and Healthy Green smoothies were yummy!! The food amount was generous so we enjoyed our leftovers the next day. We'll be back! read more

I literally cannot say enough good things about this place. My husband and I randomly discovered this restaurant was 30 seconds from our house about a month ago. We've ordered there the last 5 Sundays in a row. They now know us. Last week we had a small issue with our order (the first). They remade our in entire order without question. This week, when we ordered, they made sure my eggs were made exactly how I like them and went over the order with us before we left to make sure there were no problems before we even left the restaurants. And all this happened with a line basically out the door they were so busy. I could rave about how good this food is. It is literally one of the best brunches I've ever had - warm, fresh, made expertly. But the customer service is something to rave even more about. I don't like to get out of bed on Sunday mornings, so I don't know if we will pop in soon for a meal or continue to order takeout, but either way, run don't walk to this place. Truly incredible! read more

The potatoes and the toast were cold. The biscuits and gravy was not very good. The steak was a little too salty. The service was pretty good and the restaurant was clean. I would not return. read more

I absolutely adore this restaurant!! They always have the best food and I love coming for breakfast/brunch. The staff is so incredible and kind, wonderful service! The food is delivered in a timely matter and does not take long at all. I absolutely loved the way they made the grilled cheese, it looked so appetizing! (They also have free lollipops at the counter for all you candy lovers!) I have gone here so many times and they have never failed to disappoint me. read more

Grade A Cafe - Grilled Cheese - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mount Prospect, Illinois

We dined here for Mother's Day this morning. We made a reservation for 11. They seated us 15 minutes late which is fine, I get it, it's Mother's Day. The food was average, they did raise the prices for Mother's Day which was not on their website. What really bothered me was we ordered a juice for my daughter while she was eating. The waitress came out with the juice 15 minutes later with the bill. She had the nerve to come back with another bill adding the $1.75 because she forgot to add it to the original one that my brother in law was already paying at the counter. Really picked a nerve with me, we won't be returning. read more

We went in around 130pm, I think we were 1 of 4 tables. We saw the server twice, when we made the order, and when she brought the order out. We asked for refills when the food was brought out, and then realized the order was wrong and planned to tell the server when she returned. She never came back so we had no refills and an issue with the order. We went to pay without the bill, as we never saw the server again. The lady at the register gave us an attitude because we didn't have the check with us. We had to point to her twice which table we were (right across from the register and the only table without customers that had dishes on it) I wouldn't go back. Complete lack of interest in customer service. read more

Found this place for breakfast on Monday. I was going for a medical procedure in the morning, followed by another procedure. I needed to fast the night before , so I wanted a nice breakfast. So it's in Randhurst mall , you just drive in a circle and you will find it. The mall is quite sad , so many empty store fronts. Now about the food , I ordered a mushroom , spinach skillet . It was very good and filling , coffee was excellent and strong. I also decided to treat myself to a smoothie. Great idea , I had the mango with strawberry and I believe pineapple. Omg ! It was so good , I would honestly go back for that alone . Not crowded for a Monday morning, however they did have a table of 17 lovely ladies chatting it up over some eggs . So I recommend to check it out for yourself. I'm sorry my server was lovely as well , one piece of advice . Offer more coffee . read more

Stay away from this place. It took us 15 mins to be seated when they were not busy. Then it took another 15mins to be able to order food. On top of that they got the order wrong. 3 items. I Berry smoothie, 1 wanna milkshake, and a bowl of lentil soup. It was a joke. They did get the soup right. How do you screw up a banana milkshake. Don't go here. We won't be going back. read more

We made reservations for Mother's Day. I noticed they have a coffee/juice/smoothie bar while you wait. They were able to seat us upon arrival. It was quite busy. They had a limited menu because of the holidays but all the favorites were on there. It was still two sides full of options! Everyone was very happy with the food. Especially the FRESH corned beef hash, that is so hard to find. It's usually from a can. Our waitress was very attentive even though it was packed. The owner came to the table twice. The decor is different from the restaurant that used to occupy the space. It looks cute. We would definitely go back! They have a lot of patio seating, when it gets nice out that would be a great option. read more
