such good food, the smoothies and the iced coffee is amazing. The service was great too. our waiter was super nice and very accommodating.

Overall not a good place. I got corned beef hash and it tasted like vomit. Drinking the water there tastes like you are drinking nickels. Couldn't hear the waiter at all. Also their serving sizes are so wasteful. I got French toast and it was 7 pieces of toast and my friend got eggs Benedict and they gave her 4 poached eggs and 4 pieces of toast. Won't be back. read more

Stopped by Jaspers for the first time, it was not good. My girlfriend wanted corned beef hash but when it came out it was just corned trash. The water would've been better if I drank it out of the sewer across the street. Service was great but the head chef needs to take a look in the mirror and question if culinary school was for him. read more

They dragged me allllll the way to Jaspers this morning because the claim is that breakfast was better here thank the usual haunts in Northbrook, and they were right! It is jam packed on weekends and noisy with commotion. But, it is a large restaurant, and they push the masses through. We had skillets, pancakes and blintzes. All just great. It is not fancy like a Walker Bros., but who needs it. read more

Breakfast food was good, although one diner's meal arrived not quite as ordered. Based on other reviews, this was no surprise. Being hungry, it was not sent back. The service was excellent. read more

The only pumpkin pancakes I will ever eat. Hands down my favorite! Also love the jalapeño and pineapple omelette

Walked in there today to meet friends for lunch and immediately noticed THREE of the kitchen staff not wearing their masks properly. One using it as a chin sling, the other two had them down below their noses. When I asked the people behind the counter why their kitchen staff wasn't wearing their masks properly, the person who answered told me that they were (without even looking) so I told him to turn around and see. Another member of their staff went to the pass through and told them to fix their masks and all three of them in the kitchen looked at the person and hesitated. That was more than enough for me. Never again. read more

Breakfast of Champions My wife and I were hung over and I saw this place on yelp so we gave it a try. Good decision. When we first took at look at the menu the prices are a little high for breakfast, but we had no idea what was coming. First the place is very bright and well appointed. I ordered a simple 2 egg special and my wife got a skillet. We figured out when food arrived why the prices are a bit high. The portions are enormous. This is not just quantity it's quality as we'll. the menu says 2 eggs but they are double eggs so it's the equivalent of 4 eggs for both dishes. It was delicious. Your going to spend 25 dollars on breakfast but it's worth it. You won't need lunch. Great food, great decor, great service. Very warm and inviting. Thanks read more

Jasper's Cafe - My brunch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

You can make better food in your own kitchen, half-asleep with a hangover. The only thing is, this place gets customers because we're all to lazy to cook the most basic foods on our own. read more

The staff is very unprofessional and rude.. i feel my family was discriminated against and I WILL NOT BE RETURNING THERE EVER!!! It's very unsettling when you're trying to enjoy yourself and staff is rude!! It's also unfortunate because the food is very good but bad service and discrimination will ruin it every time!! read more

After reading the person below me and his review (Ber L) my heart is also heavy that people like him and his family exist. Ber L's wife was the one actually belittling that poor girl with the long brown hair over a spoon with water stains. At one point I heard her suggest that the Manager pick up her bill. So to the owner if you are reading these reviews I was sitting at the table next to the incident. The manager was so professional about the incident and your restaurant is wonderful. Please don't change a thing. Ber l and his family are doing you the favor by never returning. For anyone to suggest a "very pregnant woman" was angry in a review is comical. Please feel free to email me at Amandajenkins@gmail.com should you need any further information regarding the incident. read more

This our our first breakfast out in 3 months and Jasper's was awesome. They set up a great outdoor area under tents in the back. The waiters were attentive and very helpful. Giant delicious omelettes (shareable for 2 or more!) and the Apple pancake was one of the best I've had! Family friendly...kids loved it! read more

Went to Jaspers on Sunday for brunch for the first time. It was very crowded. Very good food. The Steak skillet looked good too but I had the Apple pancake, oven baked. It was just wonderful. Took 30 minutes to come out but we'll worth the wait. I will be back again! read more

Food to much salt , my kid cant eat, my food salty to, not recommend Service is slow read more

First time at Jasper's on June 26th at a friend's suggestion for a breakfast meeting. I found the menu to have loads of very interesting selections. Indeed, I had a difficult time making my choice of French Toast with Black Cherries. I'm not sure about my other options but my choice was really delicious. The service? Just right. I'd go back in a second. read more

I went to Jasper's this morning for breakfast. I ordered the corn beef skillet and a side of pancakes. After taking a couple bites of pancakes, I noticed a dark spot on top of the pancakes. I moved it with my fork and it was a cockroach. Emotion for the server to come. Instead of offering to make a new breakfast or comp the meal, He took the cockroach and then returned with the check for 50% discount on the meal. At that point, I had no appetite. I won't be returning to this restaurant unless I have a taste for bugs. read more

We have been going to Jasper's for Sunday brunch for several years. We went to another breakfast restaurant on Milwaukee Ave. for years before that but Jasper's has, by far, the best omelettes ever and the fastest service. They try hard and succeed. If you want an omelette, look no further, they might be the best in the the Chicago area. Be prepared to take part of it home. read more

Went to jaspers for lunch been going there for a year about every two weeks. My friends breakfast was eggs not cooked cold potatoes and coffee that was cold. When my friend went to pay she talked to manager and owner and bothe yelled at her and used vulgar language when she notified them of the issue. There told to leave and never come back. Be assured we would never visit an institution that the manager and owner used vulgar profanity and were disrespectful to its patrons. I would recommend not to go to this restaurant. read more

Definitely love this place 10/10. They have the best Nutella crepes and omelets. They have very kind staff and friendly servers (and Spanish speakers if needed). read more

I love this place. I've been here several times and the food is always outstanding, huge portions, and great service-fast and friendly. It's a large diner and there's no ambiance but the food is high quality. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place. It's more affordable than other north shore establishments with just as good food. Save your money and go to Jaspers. I've never been disappointed. read more

Best of the bunch for brunch! The food is as good if not better than any place in this genre. It is less expensive than most of the local competitors. The place is big enough that there is seldom a wait. The breakfasts are very good. The quality of the steak is better than expected. The sandwiches are solid and I really like their burgers. There are a lot of windows making the room light and attractive. I would be extremely happy if they opened for dinner on weekends. Previous owners had it opened for dinner but I think they didn't find it profitable. I know my wife and I would be happy to come on a nothing-better-to-do Saturday or Sunday night for burgers, steak sandwiches or pancakes at that price point. If they had a beer and wine license, I imagine the profit margin would make it worthwhile. The only criticism I have is that they have been using picnic napkins in the washrooms- probably leftovers from a catering job. WHAT ARE YOU DOING! They fall apart in your wet hands. This is stupid- stop doing that! read more

I absolutely love this place! They have amazing fluffy pancakes that cannot be beaten with whipped butter! The Waffle Sundae is out of this world! Julienne salad was good but the grilled chicken breast was dry and the Chicken fingers salty(but fries were good). The Jalapeño skillet, The Butcher skillet and The Meaty skillet were all good! Service was quick and price for portion reasonable! Very spacious seating options! read more

See all

The comments about the owner here are accurate, yet not complete. Not only does he belittle employees who seem to fearfully under his watchful eye, but it gets worse. My family of four went to Jaspers virtually every weekend for breakfast. It was very conveniently located for us and the food was decent enough. The wait staff was very friendly. The owner who stayed mainly in the open kitchen area seemed gruff, but it didn't really effect us; until January 3rd. 2016. That morning it was busy as ususal, but wait times were never too bad. Three out of four of our meals had mistakes/issues. For two of us, we decided to ignore the. Being an 8 year old, my daughter wanted her order corrected. She ordered scrambled eggs and got over easy (which can be gross to a kid) and asked for burnt hash browns which came closer to raw. We sent her order back. It returned with the same eggs and better has browns. We sent it back again and they got it right. OK, no big deal, things like this happen. Before we got up to leave, we called the manager over just to let him know about the issues. That is what I would want if I owned/managed the business. He rudely interrupted my wife and said, Ma'am, this is a holiday weekend, have a nice day, and he walked away. I went up to him and asked him why he didn't want to know what the issues were. He told me that he didn't care and that we would complain no matter what. He must have been unhappy that the same meal went back twice. By the way, we have NEVER complained before. My wife then went up to talk with him and HE TOLD HER TO F**K OFF. She never raised her voice and maintained her cool. We were blown away. Everyone has a bad day, but this was ridiculous. His attitude is in line with things that I have read and heard from others. We vowed to never return. This gave us the opportunity to discover the amazing Egg Harbor Cafe in Glenview where The staff, including the manager ALWAYS have a smile and pleasant attitude. It's like night and day. The food there is wonderful. We go once a week. Employees and customers alike at Jaspers are treated horribly by the owner. Avoid it. read more

I went on a Thursday afternoon for lunch. Plenty of seating & parking. Good start. When I walked in the door. I was met at the hostess station by the owner & felt as though I was bothering him as he was having a long conversation with patron. He asked if I wanted a booth or table & I explained I was meeting someone so I was looking around to see if she was there yet. As I'm trying to look he asks me again. Again I say I'm looking to see if my friend was there. Finally he says that I should let him know when I'm ready & he turns his back on me to continue his conversation. Mind you all this took place in less than 20 seconds. Have a little patience why don't you? Finally a young lady came over & sat me down. The wait staff was very cordial as my wait for my dining guest was a bit longer than expected. They made sure I had everything I wanted while I waited. Finally, my friend shows up & we order. I ordered lunch & got a Chicken Panini sandwich& split pea soup. The pesto on the sandwich overtook the entire meal & the soup was very watered down. Now with all this negativity being said, I will try again because 1 sandwich does not a restaurant make. I just hope the owner learns lesson #1 in the restaurant business, the customer comes first. No conversation is more important than the person who is trying to give them money. read more

The food was so so. But the waiter was really nice and friendly! Sorry won't be coming back. The Apple pancake was ok I think it needs more flavor! Sorry but walker brothers is way better! It has more cinnamon in it! read more

Eating at Jaspers is mostly a good experience. I happened to go an hour before closing on a Sunday and the place was empty so they were cleaning and I had the scent of Lysol with my brunch so that was the major letdown. However given my rating the positives overcame the negatives. I was hungry so I had a skillet, which came with pancakes and a waffle with homers ice cream and strawberries. The skillet was good but it did need some more seasoning, perhaps pepper ans jalapenos. as other reviewers commented, it comes with 4 small eggs on top so you get 4 yolks which was nice. The pancakes which came along with it were nice and fluffy- much larger than Walker Brothers. The waffle was great and they did not skimp on the ice cream. I also had some bacon which was good. The orange juice was good but looked unnaturally orange. One nice thing was that the atmosphere looked very clean and modern. However there really was not much ambiance or decor whatsoever. Everyone compares this place to Walker Brothers because the menu is nearly identical (it looks like they hired a chef from Walker Brothers or copied the menu). However, the food is close but still it misses the ambiance, personality and the flavor (I am referring to Walker Brothers in Wilmette, not Glenview). The price is somewhat cheaper than Walker Brothers and its a nice change of pace if you are looking for brunch. read more

Love this place. My go-to for breakfast in the Glenview area. Large menu with generous portions, mainly the MASSIVE omelets. Hearty skillets topped with a generous serving of eggs. All fresh tasting and reasonable price considering hash browns and choice of toast or pancakes comes with the meal. Most prefer Walker Bros, but it is always too crowded and has a much limited menu in comparison. read more

My husband and I went this weekend and really enjoyed ourselves. I had the veggie skillet served with eggs over potatoes. The meal included two pancakes (or toast- I opted for the pancakes) on the side. My skillet was delicious, but I'm pretty sure that the menu said that the skillet had two eggs....even though four showed up on my plate (I took half of my breakfast home with me!). The pancakes were surprisingly delicious- I would definitely order them again! However, the cafe should have the option of real maple syrup! My husband had the German pancake which he has never had before, but enjoyed. I can definitely see us coming back here for breakfast again. read more

I ordered a Veggie skillet and got very sick hours following consumption with throwing up and diarrhea. I called to inform the manager several days later and not only was he rude with me during our conversation, before I could finish telling him my story, he actually hung up on me. I had not even asked him for anything I just wanted to inform him of my situation, I will be reporting this place to the health department and BBB. Please do yourself a favor and do not eat here. Unbelievable! If I could give it a zero I would! read more

This review is long overdue -- My review is for breakfast only as I have only ever been here for breakfast (but I have been here quite a few times)... So we ended up at Jasper's one day after hitting the Kohl Children's Museum. From the outside, it looks like a diner. But the food is so much better. The pancakes are out of this world (hugh, fluffly, etc), the portions are huge and the restaurant offers up fresh squeezed OJ to boot. The staff is polite, professional and quick. The restaurant is large with lots of tables that aren't packed too closely together. I used to think about Walker Brothers when going out for pancakes...but honestly, I would rather drive to Jasper's. And I'm in Evanston so it is a bit of a drive. read more

There aren't many breakfast restaurants that can accomodate a large group on a Sunday, but Jaspers was ready and had the space. The staff was nice, friendly and accomodating, and they have a nice little space to eat outside. The childrens pancakes were adorable, omelttes large and everyone seemed happy, except for the people in our large group who ordered the sausage. Please please put some other sausage on the menu with some flavor!!! I think u would get more customers with a better breakfast sausage. read more

Came here for Mothers Day. There was a pretty decent wait, don't remember how long. The service was good. The place for some reason reminded me of a Ihop. Plain tables, booths, many senior citizens. It just did not have a unique style or charm to it I was expecting. The same goes for the menu. Just your run of the mill brunch/diner options. The food decent, nothing special. Another reviewer said it best, " a good option if you don't go to Walker Bros". read more

found myself in Glenview, greatly in need of a hearty b-fast. Don't ask the details. They are sketchy. But the food at Jasper's was not. It was solid and American and came with plenty of protein (eggs and bacon) and caffeine. The free wi-fi helped out as well so I could get my electronic bearings. Now I'm ready to face the day once more. read more

We love this place! Always go for breakfast. I enjoy their sausage patties. The pancakes are amazing along with any omelette. Can't go wrong. Their service is good and the place is clean. Highly recommended! read more

This was a great experience. My friend and I were sat once we arrived. Within seconds a server came to us and introduced herself along with the menus. She asked if we wanted coffee and of course I said yes. They have a great selection of food both in breakfast and lunch categories. I went with the chicken pesto panini and a side of fries. Sandwich was a good size that hit the spot. My sister got the cheese omelette which was huge. The place was fairly packed but food timing was pretty quick. This is a great local spot for anyone in the area. Will return again! read more

Jasper's Cafe - Tuna stuffed avocados - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

This place is shit! Undercooked eggs. Terrible service. Supposedly no management. Will never come here again. What a joke of a place. No wonder every one was at Walker Brothers. Supposed manager said they could only replace the one undercooked egg. Also said they serve four eggs with eggs benedict. I had two! Lame!!!!! read more

My server was very nice, the food came out quickly, the cream of mushroom soup was good. Unfortunately, the rest of my food was a disappointment. I ordered the ham and Swiss panini with hash browns. I don't know... hash browns are pretty hard to mess up, right? These were some of the worst I've had. The "panini" was a greasy, grilled sandwich made with cheap white bread. "Meh" explains Jasper Cafe best. read more

Your run of the mill diner with a huge menu and solidly-prepared food. Beware that portion sizes are HUGE. If the menu says two eggs, it will be four as they have "double eggs." I recommend an egg skillet for a food coma the rest of the day. Only complaint was we had quite a bit of dirty silverware at our table. read more

Ordered a monte cristo, it was ok. The fries were terrible, tasted like the oil has never been changed. Our server was great, only real gripe is the business owner. He is constantly yelling at his employees and is just unpleasant. He got upset when I asked to make change for a $100 bill. Food is ok, owner is a tool. Do not support terrible business owners. read more
