    Way too much masa.
    Keith N.

    Touting Chicagos best tamales, not even close the masa was so pale and there was way too much of it we got the jalapeños and cheese and there was hardly any filling. We also got the pozole way too much hominy and the meat was over cooked and tough and bland. At 18.99 a dozen there are so many better places to get any of these items that taste better and have better prices.

    Ok passed by this place a lot. It's always packed on weekends. Today I had the day off and…read morestopped in. They are friendly, polite, and smile at you. I say down and ordered the Ribeye steak and eggs. Cooked to the temperature I asked for. Large portions and the servicer checked on me and kept my coffee hot and filled. The place is quiet and inviting. I'll be back. You should try it!

    Went in for a Table of 1 (just myself) at 2:15pm and the host said the kitchen closes at 2:30pm and…read moreit would be too late to order which I understood, but when I was going back to my car I seen another party of 2 walk in and the host sat them down without question. I called right after I seen this and a different person on the phone answered & said I could still come in no issue as long as it's before 2:30pm. I told them what happened and they said the hostess did not know what I was talking about (trying to play it off) and claimed they only told me the business hours, not that I couldn't come in. Why would I lie about this? & if that was the case then why didn't she stop me from leaving? If I wanted the hours I would've called or looked on Google. But no, as I was going up the stairs the host had came to talk to me in the front entrance part of the restaurant before I could even enter the main door. Shame, I liked going here and as a table of 1 I would be pretty quick, about 30-40 mins in and out. Not sure why they didn't want to seat me vs the other group, and I probably wouldn't like to know the answer either. I typically tip more than half the price of my meal since the bill isn't much for one person, but I will take my money elsewhere then. For the owner, the host was the one on 04/12/2026 working at the time I stated above. They were a young female, with glasses, and medium cut hair. Not sure of their name.

    Wow! Wow! Wow! We were in the area taking care of business and we got hungry. We went to Yelp to…read morelook for a place. We love locally owned restaurants, always a great thing to try. They are open 5a-3p, so definitely breakfast and lunch spot. They have great prices and a breakfast special on the menu. I got the biscuits and gravy breakfast special with a side of silver dollar pancakes. Hubby had a veggie skillet and toast. The food was DELICIOUS! Great portions and seasoned well! Our server, Sarah was phenomenal! It's such a cute restaurant and we felt like we were at Grandmas having a good, home cooked meal. We can't wait to bring our family here!

    I love a good small town diner, and I thought Kennedy Cafe & House of Pancakes was great. We went…read moreto a show at The Cobra Lounge in Chicago and had decided ahead of time to crash at a motel on the way back to Michigan rather than trying to get home at 2 or 3 am, so we were looking for a breakfast spot nearby before we got back on the road. I saw Kyle V's review and figured it was a good bet as I trust him! The parking lot is a little small but we found space and were welcomed in right away. The menu is massive with tons of options and customizations etc. so it was a little overwhelming, but I went with the melted pot skillet (ham, bacon, sausage, onions, American fries, cheese, and three eggs, served with toast). Nate got an omelette with cottage fries (fried sliced potato rounds) and silver dollar pancakes. The food came out super quickly and the portions were massive. We definitely could have shared one item, but I was pretty hungry. The skillet was very savory and cheesy, and the eggs were perfectly over-medium. I had a bit of Nate's pancakes, and they were fluffy and light. Four meals + tip was around $70 which I thought was very good especially given how much food we got. The menu also includes lots of lunch options, and check the specials board in front for features. Thanks, Kyle V!

    There was no one at the front to seat us when we got there so the bus boy showed us to our table…read more Our server was Jerri and he was very friendly and helpful. He was very cheerful and had us laughing and smiling. Our order came out in only a few minutes. I had the chicken, bacon and waffles, it was a chicken cutlet but it was seasoned very well. The bacon and waffles were good. My daughter had a skillet with ham, sausage and bacon, potatoes, no eggs. She liked it. The coffee was a bit on the weak side but other than that everything else was good.

    Giving this a 3/5 only because it felt very mediocre. We didnt wait long for a Sunday 10:30/11am…read moretime which was great. Hostess didnt really greet us with a smile, however. Our table was dirty/sticky/crumby when we sat down, the busser wiped only a portion of the table when he should have wiped the entire table clean. We saw ants near the window & on the floor. Waitress was kind, but didn't offer up much (ask us if we wanted coffee, other drinks, etc). Water glass was dirty at the bottom. Food came out hot, but chicken (chicken sandwich) was undercooked on the thicker end of the breast. We did mention this and they did comp us which was nice. This place is family-friendly however there is no changing table for babies/those in diapers. Food was fine, place was fine, but probably won't be back.
