Oh my goodness, the service (Isabel) from the time we walked in till we left was excellent. I ordered the hot beef with American fries, and my son ordered a very big bacon cheeseburger that was delicious. And the price on the bill was wonderfully cheaper than any of the places we've been to. And we definitely are going out to eat family. What a gem Yelp sent us to. read more

I'm so glad my friend introduced me to Phil B's Cafe on Roosevelt Rd several years ago. I'm now a Veggie Omelet Snob & no one in Chesterton nor Valpo has yet to compare. The veggies are Fresh, Crisp bite & sliced perfectly. Not chopped diced or hidden. Topped with ripe Bright green Avacados. You can get hash browns & toast, but I always get Fruit & Rye bread at an upcharge. This meal keeps me Happy & full all day. Give them a try, I have yet to have a bad meal. I also Love the Rueben, Patty Melt, French Toast & Chillequiles. That's right they have a Mexican Menu as well. Shh "It's Vip only." Lol & the Fries are crispy just the way you would want them to be. The kitchen & Front of the house always seem to be cooking with Love & Serving Smiles. read more

Phil-B's Cafe - Veggie Omelet - Cafes Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

Crazy fast service! Small restaurant but it's perfect for a couples outing. The corned beef has was good!

Their service is always good. Their food is fresh and very tasty! The ladies there are very friendly and professional.

"8oz Ribeye with eggs" Steak is less than 4oz shaved steak intended for philly sandwiches, beware. Why even bother asking how rare to cook the steak when the meat is so thin it would impossible to cook it anything other than to rubber? Eggs were cooked over hard, asked for over easy. No table service or anyone asking how the food was. No music or ambiance. Awkward. Yikes! read more

The meat lovers skillet -minus the gravy - was delicious. I asked for the gravy on the side, and I am glad I did. It was like a country white gravy, and I normally don't care for that. Each meat, bacon, ham & sausage was chopped up so small that you get a taste of all 3 with each bite. I declined the toast and opted for a half order of crunchy french toast. Not sure what they used to coat it, but I did see some oats in the mix. Delicious! read more

Food was great. Place nice and clean . Service was also good. Will definitely go back in the future. I've been there twice already never disappointed. read more

Ok I will say it again, and I am a snotty self righteous elitist pig about omelets -- BUT DAMN THIS IS THE BEST OMELET I HAVE EVER HAD. And consistently fantastic. The huevos rancheros omelet (not the skillet) is the best I have ever had! Added fresh avocado and Serrano peppers and the homemade salsa is off the hook. Wow!!! The waffle has FRESH blueberries not a compote!!! The batter for the waffles tastes fresh and not out of a box. I now have confirmation of yet another premium ingredient in this understated hidden gem, yes virginia the waffles are from scratch NOT a mix!!! But to update this place fairly I have to say this ITS GETTING TOO CROWDED AND I AM WILLING TO USE VIOLENCE if I am faced with a seating issue. LOL. Another long time customer noticed the same thing as we sat watching the place filled to capacity we turned to eat other and said "damn I havent seen this place so busy ever before" thats when I had the idea that long term customers may need to buy a VIP seating card soon LOL. read more

Zero social distancing between mostly elderly customers sitting back to back in booths. Bacon was definitely not normal tasting or smelling, it was actually just gross. read more

This is my favorite brunch spot in Valparaiso. They have my fav breakfast, corned beef hash omelette, and they also have delicious crunchy French toast, and the food is cheap for large portions. I wish they were open a little later in the day, but there is a reason the place always seems to be full of customers! read more

Great food and prices. The beef is great all the omelet as well. We usually have the banana pancakes as desert. They carry your normal breakfast menu. It get pretty busy so be ready to wait in the morning. read more

Great breakfasts. Have had French Toast, omelets, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, hash browns, bacon, and toast. All excellent! Fast Service.

Yes ate breakfast there with my wife after church. Place was packed but service great. Had small taco skillet which had lots of jacpenoins in it. Loved it. Had choice of hash browns or fruit bowl. Got the fruit bowl which was excellent. The price for both meals and 20% tip was less than 35.00 Great job to all of them. read more

Delicious food and incredible staff! We were visiting family in Valpo for the weekend when we were first introduced to Phil-B's, and it's the one place we went back to to eat. We had a variety of omelets, their bagel egg sandwich and oatmeal. All of it was tasty and large portions. We had a small child with us, who was getting fussy, and the staff was very helpful bringing out the one food she would eat (orange slices) and even some sweet treats. A big thank you to them for understanding and helping out. Oh, and for the hot breakfasts! read more

Skillets were horrible. I had fiesta skillet it had SO many onions in it that's all you could taste. I like onions but literally three quarters of the ingredients were onions. Husband had a skillet it had a tremendous amount of bacon bits in it way over powering. Only ate half of each skillet. Server told me since you asked for no peppers they gave you extra onions i didn't ask for extra onions. read more

Homey ,excellent food & service .A nice family experience....would recommend to anyone read more

My wife loved her spinach, feta and tomato omelet with fruit (pictured). My ribeye (also pictured) was a bit tough and lacked flavor, and the potatoes and coffee weren't anything to write home about. Steak and eggs in most diners isn't that good, though. I should have stuck with eggs. Those were good. Reviewers who said the service was good were right. The staff was great. They worked hard and were cheerful. read more

My avocado and veggie omelette was very good and they were able to accommodate the added spinach I requested. The sausage you could tell was beau meat and not female. It was not appetizing at all. Which I cannot really blame the owners for but I would not go with that supplier ever again. My only real complaint is there is no social distancing between the tables at all. read more

This restaurant has excellent service, very good breakfast & lunch dishes, moderately priced, very clean, bright & even decorated for Valentine's Day! I will definitely come here again with family & friends. read more

Omelette was amazing! The eggs were so fluffy and delicious. French toast was also really good!

Busy place because food is good. Bottomless cup of coffee. Prices have gone up but every restaurant has raised prices.

I was a little set back that it was attached to a gas station but the inside was clean and updated. I ordered Strawberry cream cheese French toast and two eggs over medium. Eggs were cooked to order but was disappointed in the French toast. The filling was not sweet at all. Had to use a lot of syrup. read more

Small little local breakfast place which doesn't market itself for anything more than what it is. I took away a star because I was hoping the jalapeño in my omelet would be fresh they were the jar kind. Well priced husband and I ate for 20 bucks! read more

Small diner feel with premium ingredients. The Philly cheese skillet is incredible. The feta, tomatoe and spinach omelet is second to none. The breakfast sausage links are huge and deliscious. I would call this the hidden breakfast gem of Valpo read more

Very busy spot, the service was nice and friendly, but not overly attentive, which could have been just becauseof customervolume. The coffee was terrible I couldn't drink it; however the food was amazing I had the huevos rancharos omelet, I would recommend to anyone. Pancakes were good too. read more

Excellent food and service. Thanks for the best Italian Sausage Vegetable soup that I have ever tasted! I have driven past it so many times and I am glad that I stopped in! Definitely going back. read more

If you are thinking about ordering food to go or a take out, don't! Huge mistake. You will be home and ready to eat. Then open your containers of slop and realize your mistake and be too late. Ordered what I thought would be a safe choice and not be able to be ruined. I ordered a large waffle with fruit. The waffle was barely "cooked" in the microwave and disgusting looking. Took one look and threw it away! Family ordered 2 skillets and biscuits and gravy. All were greasy and nasty. We won't ever be back and I will do my best to keep friends from making the same mistake we did. read more

I enjoyed the food and the waiter was really friendly. It's a small place we almost drove past it. If you're ever in Valpo and you have a taste for a good breakfast stop by you'd be welcome with friendly faces and good food. read more

Very friendly staff. Bagel breakfast and Fiesta skillet were good. Fruit was past its prime, except the grapes.

Nice little diner with a good menu selection. Not going to ever make a top 10 list but worth a stop for eggs or pancakes

I LOVE Phil-B's!! Every time I go the staff is so nice and attentive. Their food is super affordable and generous portion sizes. Their Biscuits and Gravy is AWESOME!! Their omelets are so good. Everything is hot and fresh. The only thing that I don't like is that they aren't open as long as I want them to be. Other than that, a great little place in Valpo! read more

Hidden gem. Really good waffles and French toast. Not a big fan of the pancakes. The cheese steak is good as well. If you haven't been go give it a try, you won't be sorry. It does get a bit busy. read more

Phil-B's is a small-town diner at its best. A little pricey but good, solid food and LARGE coffee refills for free. Read my review -- http://www.examiner.com/restaurant-in-chicago/phil-b-s-caf-valparaiso-ind-is-a-small-town-diner-at-its-best-review read more

For a diner not bad. Not great either. I read premium ingredients on another review but that word is relative. Compared to Schoops breakfast I would say yes. The corned beef hash is from a can. A premium place would make it in house as I have had in other places, unfortunately nowhere in NW Indiana that I know of. Great staff though. But for the food I won't go back. I noticed most of the patrons looked generally unhealthy and would guess on lots of medications for all kind of ailments. Eating food like this over the years catch up with you read more
