We didn't know anything about this place. We had driven past this block hundreds of times since we moved to Schaumburg three years ago, and never knew about Maxfields - how in the world did that happen? So, we decided to try it! On a cool Saturday morning, we parked and were quickly greeted as we literally got to the restaurant minutes after they opened at 7 AM. We very quickly ordered coffee and a small orange juice - and looked over a very nicely done menu - with very reasonable prices! Hubby got a number one combo - which included the small juice - natch. I ordered the number three combo and a side of sourdough toast. One thing we noticed was that we both got sausage and bacon not just one piece each but two each along with our combination. Mine was a French toast combo that included scrambled eggs and the sausage and bacon-wonderful! The flavor of everything was just spot on! My side of toast was warm and fully buttered just the way I love it! Our waitress had worked there since they opened up 27 years ago - can you believe that? That was pretty cool. We enjoyed the place and I think we will return for sure! Try it out yourself and let us know what you think.! read more

Maxfields Pancake House - #1 crepe combo and #3 French toast combo! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

I love this breakfast spot, whenever I go I love how friendly the environment is. The servers are always checking on you to see if you need anything else. The food is one thing I enjoy the most I have tried many things here and I love it! It comes out hot and ready! So yummy! Their soup of the day is amazing! Freshly made in the morning it's to die for! And their freshly squeezed orange juice! Yum! Must go here if you have the chance!! read more

Usually come for dinner but decided to try dinner. I felt very rushed and like the waitress was hoping we would finish up so they can close. We got there 1 hour before they officially closed. It was a very uncomfortable feeling. She was doing the same to the other 2 tables that came in also. As for the food. I tried the Chicken kiev. It was good and tasted like what I make at home, but they put a gravy on top. I didn't think the gravy was necessary. The side of vegetables were soft like they were sitting for a long time. I think I will stick to going to breakfast only. They is what they do really good. read more

Maxfields Pancake House - Chicken Kiev - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

A classic Greek diner, which is my favorite kind of food. Great menu and choices and a welcoming owner. I love the food too!

We love Maxfield's! My husband used to bring me here when we first started dating and even though we now live in Michigan it's the first place we come when we're back in Schaumburg. Dimitri (the owner) and his staff are so welcoming; the waitresses fantastic, and the busboys do a great job keeping the place clean. We love it here! Highly recommend the country fried steak, pancakes, or corned beef hash. But really, any breakfast item we've ever held has been fantastic. read more

Good service ,good food ,hot coffee ,been going here for a long time food fresh Thks keep up the good job

All around great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We've been here many times and this is the first time we ordered mashed potatoes. I could tell upon the first bite that they were instant mashed potatoes, which was disappointing to be served in a restaurant. This is the reason I took off one point. read more

I meet my sister here for get-togethers. Food is fine. Friendly service. Decor a little dated but I like it--it's comforting.

I went to Maxfield's on a Sunday morning with my family! It's a classic, old-school, low-maintenance breakfast joint with cheap but tasty breakfast items. This place was POPPIN on a Sunday morning (prime time for breakfast restaurants) but it's a spacious place (also with lots of parking) so we got seated immediately. Our server was a nice older lady - the service here was wonderful. Everyone was so sweet and our waters were constantly filled! We all basically got omelettes - I got the chicken, tomato, mushroom and broccoli omelette, my mom got the vegetarian omelette, my dad got the corned beef hash omelette, and my sister got breakfast quesadillas. Our meals were good - nothing extraordinary but that's usually how it is at old-school diners/breakfast joints, ya know? It was still yummy enough for me to come back!! I also got a Cafe Vanilla coffee which was soooo good. Overall I had a good experience here and would come back! read more

Maxfields Pancake House - Vegetarian omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

I don't remember the last time I woke up to get breakfast. I met with my friends on a Sunday morning for some hearty breakfast. It's in a large plaza with a big parking space. Although the place was busy, it wasn't hard to find a parking spot. This restaurant gives off a homey and classic breakfast vibe. Nothing mindblowing, but if you want a homey breakfast meal, this is your spot! I ordered the Ole omelet with fruit and potato pancakes. Everything was delicious and the service was quick! The lady was very chill and friendly. All of my friends enjoyed their meal. I'd definitely go back! read more

Food? Service? Cost? Taste? Please review, rethink, reconsider, and also consult with an etiquette professional and a chef - big $$$$$ could be coming in droves. (e.g. no dry, bitter, tasteless food given by rude, cold staff) You almost have the formula! Smiles go a long way. read more

Every once in a while you come across a place that feels like an extension of your family and home. For us, it's Maxfield's restaurant in Schaumburg. Upon finding out that Maxfield's is back open for takeout or delivery, I had to order the breakfast we've been missing for weeks. Dining here in the past, the service has always been super fast and served up exactly how we've ordered it, by friendly and attentive servers. My coffee cup (and heart) was always kept warm while eating at Maxfield's. And the owners and hosts are so caring no matter how busy it gets. They always make time to greet you and thank you on your way out the door. Today, I was greeted so warmly and thanked for being a customer. Both the woman who helped me and I were tearing up as I shared what Maxfield's means to me and the memories of meals shared with dear family and friends here. The quiet morning conversations, summer celebration meals, carnations on Mother's Day and so on. Maxfield's, thank you for being an anchor in our community and for providing delicious home-like food and a comforting place to visit. Thanks for opening and providing food in a safe way. See you again soon. #ThankfulThursday read more

My brother and his kids have been coming here for years and they have always loved it and I can see why. It's a very friendly place, the staff was so nice, including the owner. Came on a Sunday morning and no wait which is very refreshing. The Greek skillet was delicious. Excited to try other options. I will say that I would love for them to have mimosas and bloodys - it's not brunch if it's not boozy ! read more

Wanted to try this place for a long time, the wait wasn't worth it. Three of us went in for breakfast, we ordered and two of us had hash browns as part of our order and one ordered a side. We are a crispy hash brown family and the server noticed it end commented, I see how mom makes em at home. Well we received them, no they weren't crispy and we were shorted one. We wanted them crispy and the comment was well it will be awhile....huh? Fine take the side off but take this back and make it crispy. Well she brought it back and yes crispy! It did take some time...She let us know she had indeed taken it off... Time to pay...you can probably guess...it hadn't been taken off and her comment about not hearing the crispy part was confusing because she wrote it on the bill! We commented to the manager after I had paid, the other service had been very good but your server lied. Not once but twice...not misspoke outright lied. Sorry that's a deal breaker...no tip at all and will not be going back... read more

Not often does this big mouth woman get rendered speechless at an eatery... but OM effin G! Let's begin with the service. We walked in the door and was greeted with a booming "good morning" by Ms. Ruthie. That set the tone for the most amazing breakfast experience we've ever had. We had the Meat Lover's Skillet. Both Dave and I. Cooked to perfection (I like my eggs almost burnt; they did not disappoint). The atmosphere and decor were cozy and homey. Clean is an understatement. Gus, the manager, greeted us as soon as he walked in the door. To sum it up ... we'll be back for breakfast before we head back to Detroit tomorrow morning. Thank you Maxfield's for the most amazing experience in Chicago we've ever had. read more

Amazing service here! We had a nice lady as our waitress and she was so sweet it felt like she really knew what she was doing. The waffle was one of the best waffles I've had and really hit the sweet spot. Food is very filling here, would definitely stop here again if I ever hit up Illinois! read more

Bad pancakes (weird aftertaste), no oat milk or any non-dairy options except for the chemical tubs of milkkk, limp flabby bacon, $40 down the drain. Lovely Dubliner waitress, tho. read more

Always welcoming and make you feel like family. Great food and amazing people! All reasons why this is a neighborhood favorite and all the kids there in late starts at the high school! read more

Good diner food experience. Even to go egg dishes turn out good. From pancakes to skillets to omelettes I love their breakfast food. I can't comment on their non-breakfast items, but I can only assume they are good as week. Ate here in person once pre pandemic, but have had to go all the other times. We consider this place a treat , so I hope you enjoy this place as much as I do. They also offer sugar free syrup if you ask. read more

Can't believe it took us this long to try this spot out. May have found our go to breakfast spot for when we want to drive less than 10 mins. The meat loaf special was great. Solid hash brown. Country fried steak was decent. Chocolate chip pancakes was just pancakes with chips on top which may or may not turn you off. Overall, the food wasn't exactly spectacular, but it's breakfast, so combined with the service and non sus environment, fully deserving of being a go to local breakfast spot. Review subject to change upon trying out the eggs Benedict. read more

Cozy, standard america breakfast place. Good food, decent service. Can get busy on a weekend morning

My wife and I wanted to get some breakfast, and we found this location. First appearance, cute little location. We were greeted immediately, seated immediately, and everyone greeted us with a smile. I ordered the #1 with all bacon, and my wife ordered the eggs Benedict. The food was good, but the service was outstanding. The pancakes were a little too thick, the bacon was pretty thin, and the biscuits and gravy were lacking some flavor. Overall, it is a very nice location to visit, feel welcomed and eat some good food. read more

Schaumburg is just a lovely community. This gem, in a strip mall, was packed for Father's Day, but my husband and I were able to be seated quickly. The hostess was a star, friendly, polite, and attentive to everyone who walked through the door. There was a brief wait for our waitress, but she greeted us telling us there would be a wait. The breakfast was delicious and fast. We were seated near a window in front of a pond, which added to the beautiful of the morning. Had to tell hostess how awesome she is! Definitely recommend! read more

Solid breakfast spot in Schaumburg. The restaurant is in a strip mall so it doesn't have much curb appeal, and it looks like a typical diner inside, but the food is solid. I split the farmhouse skillet and the Greek skillet with my girlfriend. I really enjoyed both. Neither were skillets you need to stop what you're doing and get here now type skillets, but they were both solid for what they were. The farmhouse came with sausage, gravy, has brownsand veggies. The sausage was a good breakfast sausage, almost like a brat. The gravy was good, and the scrambled eggs on top were slightly over cooked for my liking, but not like a typical diner where they burn the heck out of them. This came with pancakes which were very typical. The Greek skillet came with gyro meat, tomatoes, tzatziki and hash browns. The tomatoes weren't great, but the tzatziki was super good. I would like the gyro meat to be sliced in bigger pieces, but still a good dish. We ordered potato pancakes with this one, and these were also pretty good. I had a bite of my cousin's burger, and it was surprisingly solid. A good lunch option if you're up for it. All in all, don't kill yourself to get here, but if you find yourself here on a Sunday morning, you won't be disappointed. The food is a tad greasy and it is a typical diner, but on the high end of diners for me. Overall 7.6/10 read more

This place is ok, I guess. We have been here many times, but not because it is so great. My in-laws like it. Tonight I got the breakfast combo #4. The sausage was almost burnt. The eggs were cooked over medium, like I ordered, but crispy all over and not great tasting. The biscuits and gravy were pitiful. Small, chewy, thin gravy with little flavor. It was bad. The service was slow. I didn't get the apple juice that came with my meal. I didn't really want it, but he asked me what juice I wanted. I have had decent meals before here. Definitely nothing mind-blowing though. read more

I would not recommend this place to anyone if your looking for a tasty breakfast go somewhere else but stay away from this place. The staff was friendly and tentative, they got our orders correct and they would come to the table to see if we needed anything else. What was a real let down was the food. We ordered our food and 6 min didn't even go by and the food was ready. Our dishes tasted like the food was microwaved and tasteless. Even adding black pepper and salt to the food didn't help. The coffee was very watered down it tasted like hot water and no caffeine. read more

Great food and excellent service. Ruthie is the best and the Pork was to die for! We will be back for another delicious meal!

FIRST TIMER PREGNANT LADY HERE. Food was but the service was awful. Our server CHERYL Was extremely rude. She made us ordering seem like such a big pain in her ass. I asked for syrup and she said I had to wait a while because there was 4 people in front of me and went off complaining about how her boss is an asshole and doesn't do anything. I understand if they're short handed but we as customers didn't come to hear you nag. We came to fill out bellies. And be treated nicely with respect. I felt like such a burden for asking for a fork and condiments. She brought my syrup 15 minutes after I finished my pancakes... I felt so intimidated by her. This is my first and last time here and I will definitely tell my friends and family to stay away. read more

Our server was very sweet. Food was good. I felt prices were fair. Booth seats weren't too comfy and it was chilly inside but it could have been worse!! Would stop in again read more

Happy 34th Breakfast Outing To Me. Such a wonderful experience attending Maxfields for the first time. Let me start off by saying Ruthie the waitress is a jewel. Very sweet lady who can hold a conversation and went above and beyond to acknowledge that it was my birthday. Great food selection and I really enjoy places that are not for the glamorous look but the mom and pop vibe. My veggie skillet was fantastic, along with my pancake's which had a candle lit for me ( big smile ). Good batch of coffee and overall the staff gave off great energy. So looking forward to grabbing food from here in the future. read more

Stopped in for breakfast and love this place. I'm here from NC and this place reminds me of home; all the good stuff, no frills, and reasonably priced. Everyone was very nice and the atmosphere was pleasant. I especially loved the plump little link sausages and the little old lady who served me (sorry don't remember her name). They had a breakfast buffet at my hotel but it was $23! I never need that much breakfast. I will very likely come back here tomorrow on my way out. read more

ABSOLUTELY ***DISGUSTING***!!!!!!!! Uber eats just delivered countryside omlete and its absolutely disgusting!! Almost All of it its hashbrowns and maybe a few pieces of sausage. Are you kidding me??? F** crooks took my money for THIS crap??? F** this place!!!! read more

I've gone back a couple more times and I guess I have to give it 4 stars now to average the reviews to 4.5 stars since there are some minor issues that prevent me from giving it the full five. After a couple more visits, the service is still excellent, the food is still prepared a bit lighter in sugar/salt than other restaurants, the prices are still good, and the portion sizes are still large. Here's some things that stood out: The soups here great. After visiting many other family restaurants in the area, I find that this is probably my favorite place to go for soups, especially when they have creamy soups. The beer battered scrod and shrimp creole here are delicious as well and provide a great reason to come here on Fridays. However, I did not like the texture or flavor of the macaroni and cheese at all. Regarding texture again, the broiled perch, meatloaf, roast sirloin of beef, and pot roast could've all used better texture although the flavors were pretty good. Maybe the meat is simply too lean to get an excellent texture without being higher in fat. The restaurant is great in potatoes, whether it's potato pancakes, fried, or mashed they're all good. The ice cream is good here too and for some people, if you add whipped cream on top you will be very pleased. The rice pudding is still in my opinion the best in the area. Extra cinnamon and cream make this a real delight. Still not a big fan of the cakes/pies but the cheesecake is quite nice. In summary, I still think it's a great restaurant with nice interior and great prices but texture on some of the dinner dishes could be improved a bit. read more
