    More potato latkes!
    Patrick S.

    I am woefully behind in my review as it was cold & snowy when we ate there on January 11. I remember it well as we were 7 in all, great fun to be together in this sun-filled atmosphere. Walkers is just a treat, an absolute not miss! The coffee is served hot & strong, Chef & Team whip up amazingly tasty, hearty, filling, & delish food, & the servers bring it to you with smiles. My server (not Cedric, not Chris...) seemed genuinely pleased to be there. He's a total rock star! The team at the host/hostess stand were super nice as the restaurant was packed & 20'ish people were in the waiting area. Just order the apple pancake, even if you ordered another main. It's fab'! The coffee was strong & fresh, good served right outta' the oven, just nuthin' not to like. I'll let my before & after pics speak for me now. Thank you Team Walker Brothers, can't wait to return! :-) Gratefully, Patrick Shaughnessy Chicago, IL

    The food was really good! Service was great too! Very attentive. Love the area and seating wasn't too compact nor crowded. The cranberry juice was nice and checkout was so simple. 8/10 would recommend!

    As a native Chicagoan, born & raised on the south side, OPH was always a great staple. Haven't had it in years and then I saw it was moving to my hood on the floor level of the Hyatt Place Hotel, I got very excited. We don't have many "pure breakfast" places nearby so this is an amazing addition to the west loop. I have dined in and ordered takeout since its opening. The buttermilk pancakes are amazing and six come with it so you can share if there are two of you. I always get a side of pork sausage links with it for the sweet and savory factor. Fresh squeezed OJ is a must of course. Staff here is great and very welcoming. Just an FYI, it gets pretty busy after 8am on weekends but it moves pretty quick. There is outside seating available if you want to take advantage of the good weather while we still have it.

    The atmosphere here looks quite nice with tall ceilings, a clean design, and good music (sounded like some motown and old classics). It's a diner but with a more modern touch. Given that it is in a really new building, it all lines up. The pancakes were good. They were fluffy and a little moist on the inside. When paired with just the syrup, it hits that pancake craving. They aren't the best pancakes I have had, but they are decent and will satisfy. The eggs Michael was a nice take on eggs benedict. The sausage added good flavor. The mushroom sauce on it was unique and delicious. I think it should be a standard on eggs benedict! I was happy that I was able to substitute biscuits for the english muffins that it usually comes on. They get bonus points for letting me do that. The waffle itself was okay, I didn't taste the apples too prominently, but that could be a better reason to order the giant apple pancake next time. I didn't order that special order since it would take about 25-30 minutes to cook. I'll definitely come again if I'm craving some breakfast diner food in a nice area. It was a nice way to start my birthday !

    The original pancake house has a diner presence to the place. They specialize in pancakes and have many different flavors of pancakes, crepes, and waffles. It's a local Chicago chain and really enjoyed the food and the dining in experience here. Service was great and the prices were pretty reasonable as well.

    This place is conveniently located right beneath the Hyatt House - west loop so we thought to give it a try. No line and portions are huge! My coworker and I ordered one and each are half an omelette and we were already full. Didn't even touch the pancakes But the quality of the food was just ok. Omelette was baked so didn't have the usual fried flavors.

    This is the sixth location in the state and the fourth one here. This is inside the Hyatt House but has its own entrance. I had their Hash Browns. The staff and service are fantatstic. P.S. Soft opening until the grand opening.

    We came in as a group of four on a busy Labor Day morning and were told there would be a 10-minute wait--and that's exactly how long it took. Given how many people were coming in, we were impressed with how efficiently everything was running. Once we were seated, we placed our order and the food came out in about 10 to 15 minutes--not bad at all for such a busy day. Between the four of us, we had the Blueberry Pancakes, Steak Omelette, Corned Beef Hash and Eggs, Sausage and Eggs, and the Strawberry Crepe. Everything was delicious, and we all loved our meals. Our male server was fantastic--attentive, friendly, and even checked on us after we finished eating. It really made the experience even better. We live in the neighborhood, so we're excited to have another great breakfast spot like the Original Pancake House nearby. We'll definitely be coming back!

    Was walking by this place and had to go in. There was a short line, but honestly, it was worth the wait. The place looks like it has been recently renovated with modern touch to everything but really enjoy the ceramic mugs that they give their coffee and hot chocolate in. My partner opted in pancakes and they were delicious just the right amount of fluffiness and sweetness to them. I had the skillet and it was made just the way I like it. If you're ever in the area, I would stop by too!

They also have a patio, and with the weather being nice, it was easy to just sit outside and relax for a while. I was honestly too hungry to spend much time deciding, so I just ordered one of the sourdough donut ball. It was exactly what I was hoping for. The outside had a light coating of sugar that gave it just the right amount of sweetness without being too much. Once I bit into it, the inside was soft, airy, and slightly chewy from the sourdough, which made it different from a regular donut. There was a subtle tang from the sourdough that balanced the sweetness really well, so it never felt overly sugary. It had a light crispness on the outside, then a warm, pillowy center that practically melted away with each bite. I finished it way faster than I expected. The only thing I forgot was ordering something to drink with it. Looking back, a good coffee would've made it even better. Still, I'd definitely stop by again the next time I'm in the area.

I had wanted to order a flight, but every seat was taken, so I had resigned myself to ordering a single coffee. Luckily, a couple people left, so I was able to secure us a table. I would have been very disappointed if I hadn't been able to order the flight I came there to get! They have amazing flavors, I LOVE that they do flights, and their food has been decent. I only wish it was a little more spacious and quieter.

Our family and extended family often ordered birthday cakes from them, and their mango cake was our favorite. When mangoes were in season, they used plenty of fresh mango in the cakes. Their cakes are always fresh, light, fluffy, and not too sweet. My daughter and I also love their individual cakes, especially the Black Pearl and Walnut Cake. Their pineapple buns and egg tarts are her favorites as well. Saint Anna has also been part of our daughter's childhood. When she was little, my husband used to bring her here before or after Chinese school in Chinatown on Sundays. Her go-to breakfast items were the Butter Bun, Ham and Macaroni in Soup, and Diced Ham and Corn in Cream Rice. As she got older, Curry Chicken with Potato became her favorite. She especially loved the potato cubes soaked in the delicious, mild curry sauce. She would always ask for more potatoes and less chicken, haha! Saint Anna is a family-run business, and Sara and Irene, the daughters-in-law, used to take care of the front of house. They were always so friendly and accommodating. After a 6-year hiatus, we finally returned one Friday recently when we happened to be in the area with a friend. Sara is now a co-owner, and it was wonderful to see her again. She immediately recognized us and was so warm and welcoming. She even asked me to relay her greetings to my sisters when she greeted us and again when we were leaving. Those little gestures made our return feel especially meaningful. We were still full from a big dim sum lunch, so my daughter picked up 2 Mini Pineapple Buns and 2 Paper-Wrapped Sponge Cakes, while I got a Red Bean Roll. Everything was fresh, soft, and delicious, and the total came to just under $8, really a great value. Our friend also purchased 2 Fried Sticky Rice Dumplings with Chicken. I had never really paid attention to their limited dim sum selection before, so that was a nice discovery. We love Saint Anna and will definitely be back whenever we're in the area.
