11 of our family members including four kids had breakfast at the Bolingbrook location today, June 14, 2026. The food was fantastic! Everything had something different and we were able to share. The menu items we tried included French toast, eggs Benedict, crepes , blueberry pancakes, grilled cheese, m&m pancakes, superhero kids meal and a blueberry lemonade! The service was magnificent! First, for having 11 people in our party on a Sunday, we were seated really quickly. Veronica B was our server and we could tell she was an experienced server. She took our orders with ease, has no problem with substitutions, was friendly with the adults and kids alike and even approached one mom in the group to check on something for an order discreetly. Then, the food came out faster than we expected. The portions were huge and most people in the group couldn't finish all that was on their plates. The prices were great especially for the amount of food you get. That is rare these days. Thank you for the great experience! When we visit Illinois again, we will certainly visit. Also, please open one in Oakland county or Macomb county, Michigan. read more

We had a party of 17 on Mother's Day. Planned on going to another place, called that morning and they were very discouraging. Called Honey Jam and a very nice woman said "no problem, are there any children..." We got there, our table was ready, the food was delicious, our waitress was WONDERFUL. We were coming from all different directions and it made our mother's day very memorable. read more

I like Honey Jam and have been to their other locations multiple times. This was my first time at the Bolingbrook restaurant - the menu is generally the same as the other places. Our service was really slow and the food was lukewarm. read more

Visited Honey Jam Cafe in Bolingbrook with a group of 20 to celebrate a birthday! My MIL called ahead to organize accommodations for our larger group and their team was happy to do so. The restaurant was large so pushing tables together in a more secluded space was easy. Our waitress was amazing with refilling water & coffee, taking everyone's order, and being kind to all. All the food came out quickly and correct to preferences. I personally got the Biscuits and Gravy which I thoroughly enjoyed! Their menu had a good variety of food and drinks to cover any brunch/lunch craving. I had no idea that Honey Jam's were under the Portillo's umbrella but made perfect sense with how efficient they were with our party! read more

This is for the Bolingbrook location!!!! First of all We had terrible service..slow, they forgot multiple items asked for, gave us wrong items and then were overcharged. Our Drinks were never refilled. Some items were never made it to the table. When I complained to the hostess the response" well it close to closing time" (it was 1:45 they close at 3:00). Second the food was bland. My skillet had almost no cheese and missing ingredients. An other skillet had raw vegetables. My daughter's French toast was not cooked through. We tried to very respectfully let people know there were problems but no one seemed to care. So ask yourself do you want to go eat where the staff just doesn't care? Not me! read more

My adult daughter and I stopped in this morning for the first time hoping to find a breakfast place that she would like. The place was not busy at all, there was one other table seated in our area, but it was a Tuesday so maybe that makes a difference. Even though we were seated quickly by a very friendly hostess, that's where it all ended. Waitress finally came over to get our drink order and during that time she never even looked at us. She was more interested in what was going on somewhere to the left of our table (possibly the back food area). She never even asked if we were ready to order our food or if we had any questions, nothing. It was like she/we were not even there. When she brought us our drinks there was not a word out of her and she basically threw the drinks on the table (I'm not exaggerating about this, they were literally dropped on the table). She was gone before she even arrived at the table! I had ordered a decaf coffee, which came in a cute mug with a very sticky handle that I had to clean off using my only napkin. Why is it so difficult for these restaurants to make a decent cup of coffee???!!! No wonder they have so many fancy coffee drinks, no one can stand the straight coffee!! And then about 5 minuets later she drove-by and threw down 2 glasses of water, that we never asked for. Another 5 minuets and we still have not ordered. By the time the waitress came back to take our order, my daughter figured out that the soda she had ordered had a bad taste to it (like she was not even going to drink it taste) so I asked what brand of root beer they had. She didn't understand the question at all and after a few seconds said she would have to ask her manager???? Really???? So my daughter passed on that as she was worried we might never see her again, and we quickly ordered. She also did a drive-by delivery of a large syrup pitcher, which one of us was going to use that? Made us nearly jump out of our seats. Food came quickly, but was NOT delivered by the waitress, so we had to claim our meals. I ordered the most savory crepe meal I could find on the menu - West Coast Crepes & my daughter was excited to have the potato pancakes w/ bacon on the side. My crepes were not a savory as I was hoping for & the Hollandaise sauce was in a tiny little cup, not enough to cover even one of the crepes. They were edible though and I finished them. I don't think they were worth the $16+. My daughter's potato pancakes were strange & I can only describe them as some sort of floury mess with a bit of potato mixed in. Hashbrowns have more potato than what she got. Way too thick and not much flavor & lacking the minced onions that should be there. Take it from a German, there was nothing German about these pancakes. She was not able to eat them. And the bacon was way undercooked. Soon after our meals arrived (remember NOT delivered by our waitress) another waitress stopped by to get me a refill on my coffee & some napkins that I requested. Not a single visit from anyone else to check on how we were doing or to refill our drinks. I'm not sure why or how this place gets great reviews, but the food is not worth my time to wait for the lack of service that this restaurant has, or better yet doesn't have. I get better service at a fast food drive thru! And after $50 bill, it left a sour taste in my mouth. BTW I had to visit the restroom and it stank so bad in there, like it had not been deep cleaned in a long time. I wonder what their kitchen looks like? read more

Delicious, plate filled brunch! I love a variety of eggs Benedict and Honey Jam did not fail! A little overwhelming with the huge menu but it seems that nothing will disappoint here! Their Vietnamese coffee was really refreshing and caffeine filled too! I recommend this restaurant for big parties or girls brunch! A! read more

Me and my mom went to Honey Jam for lunch, the guy at the drinks station took us to our seats, very pleasant gentleman. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. She highly recommend the green goddess chicken sandwich, it is one of the spring menu specials. It was 18.99 and comes with a choice of a free side you can 4 different types of fries, house made chips, or cup of soup as your side I chose their curly fries as my side. The service was amazing and very fast, my mom only ordered a side of onion rings, and yes they are the real onion rings if anyone is curious. I loved the taste of my food the Multigrain toast had a hearty crunch from it being toasted loved the melty swiss cheese the avocado is creamy and the green goddess spread is nice but had a light flavor. The grilled chicken on the sandwich was juicy and cooked perfectly not overcooked or dry. The curly fries are not like Arby's seasoned curly fries, they are crispy and great with ketchup. I put 5 curly fries in my sandwich as a little hack, because it was missing a crunchy element that solved it a bit it added a nice little crunch to the sandwich. I was satisfied with what I got because I ate it all and shared 3 curly fries with my mom she really liked them. Wish my mom can try out some more of their food you can get a half sandwich and a cup of soup or salad along with a choice of side for a decent price. The only constructive criticism I have is please have more options for soup of the day available not everyone likes a certain flavor of soups, so maybe have a backup soup flavor of the day like minestrone, or broccoli cheddar or chicken noodle and not just one flavor. Also please keep the multigrain bread toast forever, its a great hearty choice and I feel like I am eating healthy whenever I eat a sandwich with multigrain bread. read more

I ordered the Divorciados, they were like dive bar nachos, not at all what I expected. My sister was brought the wrong order, and I had finished the little bit of my meal I ate before her correct order came out. Waitress was very nice, but couldn't make up for the mediocre food. Even the expensive biscuits were lousy. This is for the Bolingbrook location. We won't be back. read more

Ordered food on Uber. It was fantastic and they had a lot of options on Uber to customize which I appreciate! My new go to meal: 2 scrambled eggs with American cheese Bacon Shredded browns Upgraded toast to 2 Nutella crepes with strawberry and banana. Lots of food, very delicious!! read more

Came on a Saturday morning. We were seated immediately. Large menu. We placed our orders. And VERY QUICKLY our food arrived. Lightning speed! Food was good. Waiter was exceptionally attentive. Maybe too attentive. He asked multiple times if we were done eating and he could remove our plates...as we were mid bite!? And there were plenty of empty tables so no need to rush us out. But the food was inexpensive and tasty and the server was great aside from the weirdness of kinda rushing us to be done. read more

Went in at 7am on a weekday. No one and I mean no one was in there. Still, service was great. Had the place to ourselves, as I went for breakfast after nightshift with a work colleague. I had the Divorciados. Excellente! One part of the dish has bacon and salsa verde(green salsa) & the other half of the plate has Chorizo & salsa rojo (red salsa). This is placed on a lovely bed of homemade tortilla chips, black beans, mozzarella cheese, two eggs sunny side up, avocado, and sour cream. I think I ate the whole thing and stuffed myself. Uggh! But, it was unique & so damn good! Honey Jam is kind of pricey, but you do get what you pay for. Worth stopping for. Enjoy! read more

Vibe and food experience is outstanding. Most impressively was my server and long time HJC member Veronica. Highest praises!!!! She was quick, incredibly knowledgeable on all dishes, substitutions and even taught us the difference for a 'Scrambler vs. Omelet vs. Skillet'. She even knows the Portillo family back in the day I hope you get Veronica as your server and get an Incredible experience. 10 out of 10! #HoneyJamRocks read more

Our server Dylan was awesome. Fast service, good food. I was surprised by how good it was.

We came for a second chance to Honey-Jam Cafe, and the experience was a lot better vs when we first came! The food quality seemed to improve, and our server was very kind / attentive. Great spot for kids given it's spacious, and many of the workers have kids, so they understand typical kid shenanigans :) read more

Meh- the service was great. The atmosphere was nice. The coffee was delicious, and I am picky. The strawberry-orange juice was so good. The food was very ok. What might go back one time to see if maybe it was an off day because it's a holiday. But the pulled pork sliders were not very good. The burger did not look appealing but it was huge. But French toast for the win. read more

We come here all the time and the food is always delicious!! They have a big variety and amazing Mexican breakfast options!

If you desire breakfast that is not seasoned this is your spot!!! The server was a little rude but that I could overlook. There are several breakfast spots close by which have much better food. read more

it was really good food Nelly was really nice and the food was fast, good environment and not too loud not too quiet

Service was good, very kind waitress. Food, well I found a hair in my hash browns, so that should tell you. My biggest concern here is that the dishes they serve our drinks and food in are dirty. This is unacceptable. Our water glasses were cloudy, silverware was also cloudy and dirty. Both mine and my mom's coffee mugs had bright pink lipstick on them (not from us). The inside of our mugs were extremely dirty, we could scratch the gunk off of them. Clearly, they don't wash their dishes properly here We left there with our stomachs in knots. read more

Went in for my moms birthday with a big party and had a great time. The food was solid and the service for a party this size was good. Lot of dishes were ordered, but the eggs Benny had to be one of the favorites. The cannoli French toast was great too, but definitely in for a sugar rush so keep that in mind! read more

I visited Honey -Jam with my sister today, with this being both our first time in the place. We went in the middle of the day, thus we were not surprised to see that the place was crowded. But once we walked in... First, let me say that though there was nothing wrong with the service per se, they initially wanted to seat us in a very congested area where we're way too close to everyone, then we got to sit at a table closer to the front but not as congested. The waiter was nice, though she did not introduce herself to us (she just asked us what we wanted), and soon we ordered coffee. I then ordered the tres leches French toast with (crispy) bacon and eggs; and my sister ordered the French toast combo. I have to admit...as good as my food looked, I was expecting way more flavor, and though it was good, I think it could have been better. I think there wasn't as much flavor as there should have been for something so decadent. I think that honestly, the food was a bit bland. The fruit was a nice touch, but didn't add much to the dish. All in all, the food was not bad...but for the money, it wasn't the best I ever had either. Pretty much...meh.

I went to the Darien location on 75th st with my parents. Savannah was our server and she provided exceptional service. She was friendly, paid attention to details, and ensured our meal was satisfying. She has a knack for checking in with us at the right pace (and not with food in our mouth! lol) and remembering the extras to bring. The place was welcoming, clean, and buzzing with energy and people. I definitely will be going back! read more

We were very pleasantly surprised! We went on a Sunday around 11 and it was super busy, but they were able to seat us right away. Our waitress was great and gave some good recommendations. Menu is very large, maybe a little too much so, but there is something for everyone. Portion sizes are also big! Good atmosphere, family friendly, and a really tasty breakfast spot. They serve alcohol, too! read more

This was first time trying honey jam and the food just didn't do much for me. The waiter is really nice and patient, so I can't complain about that at all. I had the two eggs meal with bacon i added a berry cup and had a biscuit which was beyond dry. For me, just try using buttermilk - I swear you will thank me later.. Nice atmosphere, condensation from the ac water pipes were intermittently leaking on us and our table so that was odd...not really thinking about my next visit. read more

Meh. We stopped here on the way home from the airport, as they were open bright and early at 6:30 am. We started our meal off with the Honey Jam Biscuits. Given that they were named after the restaurant, we expected them to be great and ordered four of them for the two of us. However, they arrived barely warm and odd looking. They looked like shapeless drop biscuits. They tasted like literally nothing--white bread had more flavor. What's worse, the texture was just weird. This isn't how you want a meal to start off. For my entree, I ordered the bacon avocado benedict with hash browns. My mom had the corned beef scramble with pancakes. We were both wholly underwhelmed. My benedict was supposed to be prepared with medium poached eggs, yet they were super runny and not medium poached at all. The hollandaise, usually the star of any benedict, was memorable only by its tastelessness. The hash browns were cold and again, bland. My mom couldn't even finish her scramble, which was lacking cheese and other pertinent ingredients. The only redeeming factor of this meal was the nice waitstaff and the standard fare pancakes. We left disappointed in what was supposed to be a meal we bonded and caught up over. We won't be back. read more

Food was alright for my standards. Portions are big, couldn't finish my corned beef hash and the French toast were huge.

Great local breakfast spot. Tasty food with something for everyone. Popeyes scrambler is a favorite! Definitely a staple for us

Every time I have dined here I have had a very good experience. The service has always been personable and welcoming. Never had a bad experience with anyone here. The menu here is similar to almost any breakfast/place around. When you get your food and start eating you then realize where this establishment is different than most. The food is prepared well and the quality is a level above the quality you would find at similar restaurants. Definitely one of my staples for breakfast in the Bolingbrook area! read more
