For starters, or server Annie (super cute girl who is heavily tattooed with blue hair) was so friendly and nice! We have never been here before, so with Annie we were off to an excellent start! I ordered a Diet Cola, no ice and she said is Pepsi okay? I strongly prefer Pepsi to Coke so a win! I really hate any American breakfast and it is not because I am a vegan. Every American breakfast place is basically like 3 options - eggs and potatoes, pancakes/waffles/French toast etc. I find it very hard to believe that nobody might prefer a pizza, chicken nuggets a burger etc. Not everybody in the US has to want the same exact thing for breakfast every day and no other place is open in the morning. My American husband loves going out for breakfast and judges a place by it's Eggs Benedict. He said the ones that they serve are not bad but he would never return here, which he rarely says about American breakfast places. read more

Left empty handed with no food or refund after waiting over 40 minutes for 2 eggs....It's a disaster in there. First of all, you have to fight for your life in the parking lot trying to find a spot. Then, you enter the front door and are treated like you are a nuisance for coming up to the hostess stand. I get that you are busy, but you still need to treat people that are coming in to your business with respect. I sat there waiting and waiting..no food. No one cared to check. Just kept getting more and more crowded to the point where I was being shoved into the bathroom hall behind a sea of other waiting customers. The ambiance is loud, overwhelming chaos. Perhaps they need a better system or take on less customers. I wasted my Sunday morning in there. Definitely will only be returning in my nightmares! Not worth it! Plenty of better options in the area that actually WANT your business. read more

Give yourself time to meet your party, parking is challenging. Always busy, always crowded, but servers step it way up for speedy and fresh delights. The potatoe pancake Benedict was a fresh creation of delicious, and comfort. 2/order, great to share. Perfect lighting. read more

Server was awesome. Food was great! Very broad menu from around the world. Looks good for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Opens around 6am. Definitely will be back and try the drinks!! read more

I have always had a pleasant experience at this Honey Jam location. I have tried different breakfast dishes from my visits, and they have all been satisfying. I love how fluffy they make their pancakes. My daughter agrees with me on this. The last time I had brunch here, I had a sweet potato and chorizo skillet. It was delicious. My horchata coffee was perfect too. The place is neat, the service is efficient and pleasant, but parking can be challenging (especially on the weekends). I would definitely come back here for brunch and try different dishes...always with a side of pancakes though :) read more

Met some friends here today. Was there early and was not overly busy. We were seated and waitress took our order. Ordered simple breakfast. Pancakes, eggs, and hash browns. Meal arrived rather quickly. Thought this was good. Well it was luke warm. Asked for syrup several times. I should have sent back. But at this point, I was sorta done. Originally we were to meet at other location, but went to this one instead. Next time we will try the other location which was recommended highly. read more

Saw this place along with my wife and wanted to try it while in Chicago. The place was clean and had very good customer service . We were seated and both ordered the 2 meat patty sausage 2 eggs, hash browns and wheat toast for myself and my wife the pancakes instead of toast. The coffee was excellent, presentation was a 4 out of 5. But the hash browns and sausage was warm at best. The restaurant had superb service, and great prices value. I like to think. I may have caught them on a off day. I believe ! read more

A more elevated Dennys? A little more modern inside but sloppy service -accompanied with a generic crayon and coloring placemat for kids. We ate here for breakfast and the menu is overwhelming ... so look in advance if you are the hangry type! I switched my mind at least 4 times. - I think they have some unique option, but also the classics. They really have something for everyone. The strawberry cheesecake French toast was my favorite. And order the OJ - Fresh squeezed orange juice is worth every penny. They offer savory or sweet crepes, skillets, scrambles, a variety of Benedict's, pancakes, waffles- you name it. I would come back to try some other food from menu but nothing was good enough to come back for except the French toast. read more

The restrooms were clean as well. The staff were all nice and we got an omelette (Veggie) and the horchata coffee which was really good! My niece got the chicken Cobb salad and surprisingly it was delicious with lots of flavor with a horchata shake! It's a family friendly restaurant and would highly recommend to anyone! read more

Met a friend here for breakfast at 9am on a Sunday. I couldn't order an alcoholic beverage because it wasn't 10am due to the town's ordinance. Our food arrived very shortly after ordering, by 10am we were ready to leave. We both created our own skillets, mine with pancakes and Kathleen chose fruit. Our server was nice, the food was good. It was very busy but the noise wasn't very loud, we could still hold a conversation comfortably. read more

Today I visited Honey Jam Cafe. There's multiple locations in Illinois. I've visited the Downers Grove location a few years ago, but today we're trying out the latest location in Oakbrook. The hubby got a create your own omelette with pancakes and I got the strawberry orange juice with a steak skillet with cinnamon roll pancakes. Overall the food was good, but we did have an issue with our server. First - she didn't greet us or tell us Happy New Year. Literally as I was taking off my coat before sitting down, she was already asking what we wanted to drink. We hadn't yet sat down to go over the menu! Secondly, she messed up the bill by adding our total as well as another customers. Thankfully the manager caught it and fixed it before we paid at the front. I'm going to give this restaurant 4 / 5 stars for the food. 3 stars for service and for the experience 3.5 - only because the manager assisted us. If I decide to go to Honey Jam Cafe again, it will definitely be a different location. read more

Had a solid brunch at Honey Jam! The parking lot is kind of a nightmare on the weekends. I opted to park at Wendy's rather than sit and wait for someone to leave for a spot to open up. Got seated quickly in the back! I will say with the garage doors closed in the winter and the heater blowing it can get really loud in there. We started off with an order of the biscuits which were tasty with both the honey butter and jam. Our food came out super quick - like 5 minutes after we ordered and only a few minutes after we got our biscuits! I ordered the New Mexico skillet and got a side of chocolate chip pancakes. Portion size was great and everything was delicious! read more

On a girls trip and we were going somewhere else but decided to stay close to our hotel. We walked in and were greeted by Abby who was so bubbly and welcoming. This set the tone for our beautiful experience But our waitress Jennifer was amazing! She gave great recommendations on coffee and meals. The food was exceptional. The caramel macchiato was superb. I'll of u go for the pumpkin potato pancakes get them! They were the best I ever had. But I can't sing the praises of Jennifer our waitress enough. She was knowledgeable of the menu, sweet, accommodating, and her customer service skills are unmatched! Side note the coffee cups are too cute! read more

First time trying this chain. Pleasantly surprised with how packed the place. A cozy, bustling environment. The server was amazing. Very attentive and fast. The food also came quickly and was piping hot. I enjoyed my Jays Iron Man omelette with a fruit cup and English muffins. Happy to see an omelette with cheese as a default. The omelette was large and the salsa was Smokey and flavorful. The English muffin was toasted crispy on the outside and soft inside. They also had my fav Dickinson's jam. The fruit cup was okay, not a huge fan of pineapple and grapes. The only downside was the beverages. They only offer 2% or almond milk. The coffee and orange juice felt watered down. read more

This place is pretty busy, at least on the weekend when we came. The music is pretty loud, and combined with the number of people can make conversations in the main seating area seem impossible. Service, however, was fast and attentive. The coffee was a highlight for me. The French roast was smooth, not too acidic, and not weak tasting either. Country Benedict and grits were my choice for the main dish. The biscuits were quite dry, like they were made a couple hours earlier, but the gravy was properly seasoned, if a little runny for my liking. The grits were not really prepared well since they still had clumps in them. One of the poached eggs was perfect, but the other was just a hard-boiled egg. The chicken fried steak was pretty well seasoned and had a nice thick crunch to it. It was a good consistency between meat and breading. The eggs for this dish were nicely cooked as well. Pancakes had a box taste to them or used an artificial vanilla. Imagine Bisquik pancakes, and that is what they felt and tasted like. Overall, it was an okay experience for breakfast. Nothing special and nothing terrible. I think with a better execution on the dishes would make them better. read more

I had breakfast with some friends on Saturday morning. The restaurant was packed with people, but my group of 5 was seated without a wait. They have lots of seating available! I want to start off by noting how great our server was. She was friendly, fast, and attentive. The menu has a variety of options and the pricing is very reasonable. Most of the menu items are served with hash browns and a side of toast or pancakes. The food came out very quickly. I ordered the country fried steak with scrambled eggs, hash browns, and pancakes. The country fried steak was a bit smaller in size compared to other restaurants. It was well fried and not too salty. The hashbrowns and scrambled eggs were standard. The pancakes were quite disappointing as it was dry with an artificial vanilla flavoring. Overall, the food was decent. Honey Jam wouldn't be my first pick for breakfast, but I wouldn't be against trying it again! read more

Ordered takeout from here so keep that in mind when determining the flavors. Overall, a very extensive menu that everyone should fine something. Flavors were solid, but not impressive. Pumpkin French Toast: First impression made me think of cinnamon rolls. Pumpkin flavors came out nice, but certainly on the sweeter side. Smothered biscuit and gravy skillet: Biscuit was soft and fluffy and gravy sauce was fine. The potatoes could have been fried a bit longer. Avocado Toast: Flavors were fine, but not too special. read more

Solid choice for breakfast in the Oakbrook area. Honey Jam has a varied menu with all the favorites such as pancakes, waffles, omelets, and skillets. Like other locations, the restaurant is fairly large and able to fulfill fairly large groups pretty easily, even during the busy weekend morning rush. Prices are pretty fair though slightly on the higher side if you're getting specialty drinks and upgrading to specialty pancakes. Service is pretty fast considering how busy the restaurant is. The dining room is surprisingly not super loud for how close patrons are to one another, and the tables are not packed together too tightly. The food is fairly solid here, not the best really in any category compared to peers but done pretty well for pretty much everything. The biscuits and fairly crunchy / fluffy with a nice cinnamon butter, similar to other Southern Style biscuits you'll find nearby. The skillets are overall not too salty with a little crisp on the hash browns, though the portion size is a bit smaller than what you may find elsewhere. Waffles are fairly good, as are the pancakes -- texture isn't bad (a bit more spongy) though not executed as well as Honeyberry or Egg Harbor. I would've liked a few more options of toppings, but it's enough to satisfy a wide variety of cravings. Overall, there's enough to like about the food options here and the preparation to go here with friends and family. It has plenty of parking and space to accomodate larger groups at reasonable prices. read more

Overall, this was a great brunch spot! We got a variety of food as well as some cold brew coffee. The signature honey buns with cinnamon butter and jam were delicious! Overall, the food was great. I will say our service was not the best. This place was busy for a typical Sunday brunch, however, even given that our waiter hardly checked in with us and missed a few items as well. I wouldn't let that deter you because overall this is a very fun and delicious spot. They also have a huge parking lot. read more

I saw someone say this was a glorified ihop, and I could not agree more. The bottomless coffee was not great. The cinnamon roll pancakes looked like someone took a cheese wiz bottle all over them with whatever that weird substance was. We were sat in the garage area, and they kept putting people out there even though the inside was not full. It was so loud out there. It was $50 for two people. I'd go anywhere else. read more

My husband and I came here for breakfast on a Saturday morning. It was very busy but we were seated right away. The place can be a little noisy from the talking and clinking of plates and silverware but nothing too annoying. We both had pancakes and scramble eggs.

The only flaw was that at times, we did wait for napkins and, in the end, the bill, but I understand it was a busy Saturday morning. We would definitely go back. read more

The breakfast food is good, the biscuits and gravy are excellent. Well the gravy is excellent, I found their trademark biscuits to be too dry. Of course with biscuits and gravy, it doesn't matter if the biscuits are too dry. Coffee is good and they are pretty quick to top off. Most of the waitstaff is bilingual (Spanish) which is great. The service in general is very good, the prices are a little high for breakfast but really commensurate with quality and the neighborhood. I really only have one complaint and that's that it so loud in here, it's not a place one can have a conversation. After my first cup of coffee, I do like to talk. read more

Food is great! Staff is nice. Very busy restaurant which is technically good. Environment is family friendly.

Food: I got the corned beef hash skillet (added avocado for extra ~$2) that comes with pancakes. It was okay but there wasn't a lot of corned beef hash, the hash browns were soggy and overall it didn't have much flavor. We also got the Horchata coffee drink and it just tasted like sugar and water with cinnamon. I would not recommend getting this drink. Service: our server was really nice and attentive. She tried several times to help me ask the kitchen to fix the drink. She also came by a good number of times to check on us as well. Ambiance: very casual, clean place read more
