I love that there are unique Southern dishes like chicken and waffles, Southern fried chicken, and shrimp and grits. The coffee is hot, strong and accompanied by cute little baskets with individual creamers. The pancakes are super fluffy and served with a warm bottle of syrup.

The frappe was also really good. My friend ordered the avocado toast, which she liked, but her caramel macchiato was off at first it tasted mostly like milk with a little caramel. They did fix it though, so I'll give them credit for that. Only downside was she ended up feeling like she got food poisoning afterward. The egg on her dish had a thin film on it, so we're thinking it might not have been fully cooked, which is concerning. Service itself was good and the staff was nice. Parking was also easy, which is always a plus. Good food overall, but that situation definitely threw things off a bit.

The exterior and interior decor is bright and welcoming. They have a nice display case with cake slices as you walk in. It was slightly above average for noise level.

It was cooked perfectly, the eggs were just right. A substantial portion with plenty of soft hash browns. I was quite hungry and this filled me up. My partner is celiac and they offer almost everything gluten free, and she enjoyed a Belgian waffle. The service was fantastic, Melissa was on the ball and did not miss a beat. Our coffee was never empty and she has a great attentive and positive attitude. I loved the house made jam served in a reusable container. The only suggestion I have for management is to offer real maple syrup as an upgrade option.

I was seated pretty quickly and given a menu and ordered my standard unleaded coffee - decaf for those of you in the know. The ambience of the place was pretty good - very modern- very nice and it looked like it was very well-maintained. Always a good thing! To be honest? The only demerit was the waitress. Oh, she was good as a waitress, but she was not warm or welcoming - it seemed like she was just going through the motions, albeit professionally. It kind of makes a difference to me, you know? I decided to order a build your own omelette - I got turkey, sausage, turkey, bacon, and green peppers. In addition, I ordered a side of French toast and decided to try the hashbrowns because they look like they were housemade and not frozen. After a short bit of time, the food came out and oh my God! The portions were huge. I ate the French toast first but the only thing I noticed was the syrup was room temperature and not warmed up - not exactly a dealbreaker for me, but it would've pushed them over the top. The hashbrowns? Excellent! I put some hot sauce on the omelette and ate it all up - lickety split! So - would I come back? Probably. But I would hope for a different waitress is all. But I will say this - any breakfast joint that starts getting busy the very moment they open up at 7 AM on Sunday morning? Must be doing something right!

Ok, I was the first customer for the day (Yes, I wake up early!). I was seated, ordered a decaf coffee (sorry; had to go unleaded for health reasons, darn it). I reviewed the menu and - well - tried to find a comfy seating position on the upholstered booth table I was seated at. I'm sorry, but the springs on this thing had sprung, and there wasn't a comfy spot to be found. Ok. So there was that..... I liked the style of the place- but what in the world was with the 5,000 kelvin can lights in the ceiling? Folks, I want warm and comfy lighting - no more than 3500 Kelvin is what you had elsewhere in the restaurant. The 5,000 kelvin was just way, way too harsh. For shame. Pull out the "daylight" and put in a soft/warm kelvin bulb please! Hurts my eyes. Ok- the food. I ordered a 2-egg breakfast; subbed the hashies for rye toast, chose the sausage option, and upped the order to include two crepes with lingonberry sauce (always a sucker for lingonberry sauce, you know?). I was told the food would take a bit longer due to the crepes - didn't matter to me, really; couldn't be a huge delays could it? Naw, it wasn't. The food came out- ok, then! Let's check it out - the scrambled eggs and sausage were perfectly acceptable. The toast was not buttered (NO!) but was right outta the toaster- and man, that counted! As I started munchin' away, I noted the crepes seemed- well- a bit well done? Well, yeah. Like, on one crepe? The end of the crepe was hard and almost- but not quite- burnt. Yikes. I still ate it. It was relatively good, sure. But who over-cooks crepes? Can't say it was fantastic. Now, I don't have anything bad to say about the server- she was super nice and awesome! But fix up the seating/lights, please, as well as the crepes? You'll be in "5" territory in no time!

We were a party of 22 for my niece birthday. So we came here boy it was as good as it gets. We did call ahead of time to see if it was ok and they could accomadate us. Of course the friendly lady said. We get there and waited but another big party was leaving and they started to set our party up. There was an enormous wait also.. so we get sat. Our server came she asked if we would like something to drink at this time a busboy dropped off waters. She was sat also another party. She handled this gracefully. And then she was sat more tables so efficient and gracious also. While all this is happening more people swarming in. She took our order after the drinks. Brought this enormous bowl of soup that someone ordered. There soup bowls are super duper big. It is like 3 regular bowls of soup as one. Cream of chicken soup was out of this world i tasted it and ordered one. Chicken was so moist and plenty of rice with a great flavor. She continously checked on us and refills never were a problem the food came. I had a skillet it was a mountain. Where do i begin it was like 3 meals in one. Holy smokes. Everyone in our party was pleased. Funny part is as busy as they were we had about more people come to eat amd she saw this and recognized it and took their drink and order and we didn't have to wait they recieved their food promptly. Then she even brought a scoop of ice cream with whipped cream and chocolate to my niece to sing happy birthday!!! Great job to everyone their you guys rock. Price for 25 people it turned out to be was so reasonable we all left full and satisfied.. then to the carnival we went.. MR A'S ROCKS!! read more

The menu has everything you can imagine for breakfast- omelets, eggs Benedict (the original and variations of it), varieties of pancakes & French toast, skillets, and lunch offerings (wraps, sandwiches, burgers, salads). We went twice. My first time, I got a skillet with eggs over easy over skirt steak, potatoes, peppers, and tomatoes, and it came with your choice of pancakes or French toast. I got pancakes. I couldn't get over how tender and flavorful the steak was because it was cut up in bite-sized pieces. I was given a choice of salsa, and I chose the green one (Yum!), The pancakes were sooo good and fluffy; I didn't need syrup. I also got hot tea. It comes in a cute clear teapot so you can see if the tea has steeped long enough for a couple of cups. They also have little bottles of honey. The second time we went, I got a senior omelet, which included four add-ins (I got onions, mushrooms, Swiss cheese, and avocado). It was the size of a small football. I had my choice of hash browns or fresh fruit and pancakes or French toast. I got hash browns cooked perfectly and French toast this time. I so wish this restaurant was closer to home because both times it was sooo good and because there were so many things I wanted to try! The service is wonderful. You are greeted right away when you walk in, and when you are seated, they bring you ice water. Service is quick no matter how busy they are, and they check on you frequently. It is very comfortable seating; chairs and booths are all padded. The restaurant and bathrooms are very clean. Make sure you visit one of their restaurants while you are in the suburbs of Chicago.
