    I love a local breakfast spot. The staff are really friendly and attentive. The service was slow. Other than that restaurant was very clean and we felt welcomed.

    We visited this restaurant for breakfast twice during our trip to Illinois. The food each time was excellent. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Ambiance was so pretty. They have a dedicated space if you wanted to have a private party. Entrance is shared with a Greek restaurant, so don't be confused. There is ample surface parking. Will definitely be back when visiting again.

    Let's eat!

    What a beautiful summer day to enjoy breakfast outside. Small family of ducks teaching its young to dive for food. Monica was an attentive and helpful server. Recommendations were fantastic! It did not disappoint! Thank you!

    Reuben Sandwich

    It was after 11am when our party arrived. We didn't wait more than 5 minutes until we were seated. We were immediately offered beverages and menus. There is a very extensive menu and for this visit, I opted for lunch while the rest of the party ordered breakfast. The portions are generous and most of us ended up taking part of the food to go. My Reuben sandwich was ok: the meat seemed pre-sliced as it was very smooth, and not jagged. The fries were a little brown for my liking. The rest of the party ordered Belgian waffle, apple pancakes, veg croissant, crepes, scrambled eggs. The food is fine, I wouldn't say we were bowled over, it was good. The side of pancakes seemed almost burnt (see pic). Our server was amiable; one dish took noticeably longer to arrive; the recipient on the fine line of hangry. There was a slight lingering acrid smell, almost burning, throughout.

    This breakfast spot was a god solid choice today. Service was great. Friendly sever (can't say for the older hostess) and fast service. Booth seating and private rooms available. I had the Nutella strawberry crepe and left fairly happy.

    The entrance for two restaurants at once.

    Why doesn't this place have a line out the door on Saturday mornings?! I place this on the top 3 of breakfast joints on the North Shore. The front entrance was greeted with a friendly man seating me immediately. The ambiance of the place is very country chic, and the tableware uses a real cloth napkin! My first thought was "oh my, I may not be dressed appropriately". The iced tea was fresh, and constantly refilled. The omelette was not so much an omelette but shaped scrambled eggs with ham and cheese. But it was perfection on a plate. The ham and cheddar omelette was perfectly cooked, with large chunks of ham off the bone, a strong integration of cheese and fluffy enough to stuff a pillow. The hash browns were also perfectly seasoned and cooked. The English muffin came to with a strawberry jam the perfectly reflected the rest of the meal. For those with kids, the table next to me had activities for the kids, and enough room that everyone wasn't on top of each other. Lastly comes the price... more than enough food for what I paid. I couldn't eat it all. This is now my number one breakfast place.

    Do NOT put your drink there if you want to avoid a mess.

    I'd like to give this business an "incomplete" if I could. I have a couple valid complaints, but they're easily corrected with a slightly different experience. I ordered the breakfast burrito, and it wasn't great. It basically disintegrated after a few bites, and I'm of the opinion that a good burrito or sandwich should be able to hold itself together and not fall apart into a mess. It did come out piping hot, though, and the salsa it came with was a nice counterbalance to somewhat bland flavor. The other guests at my table enjoyed their food. My kids ordered crepes that were HUGE, so I helped myself to a few bites and they were great. (there was enough left over to take care of breakfast the next day) In short, I would definitely want to come back and try something else. I mentioned to the server that I didn't love the burrito -- I ended up eating less than half -- and he took it off the bill on his own initiative. This was not something I asked for or expected, but appreciate the good service. One other item to note: we were seated at a table where the hinged leaves can be folded up to make for more space, turning a square four-top into a round table that can comfortably seat five to seven people. The hinged leaves, though, did not stay level with the center of the table. There was a noticeable downward slant, and therefore real concern that any drink or plate balanced on the folded up part of the table was in danger of sliding off. If you're easily annoyed by drafts, sit away from the front of the restaurant.

    This really is a great breakfast spot for all occasions. A really nice ambience for a nice brunch with friends and/or family makes for a good experience. The food is great, too! Classic breakfast and brunch favorites - I got the eggs Benedict and it was really enjoyable. Great parking situation and ample seating inside, but I was not impressed with our waitstaff. Our server was attentive and timely, but she kept rushing us to leave. She asked several times if we wanted our bill and after bringing it over, checked several more times if we had paid yet. I'm not sure if she was just in a rush herself or truly wanted us home. I was having a get together with family members I hadn't seen in close to a year, so we were hoping to spend some time together. Overall, a good experience and I'd come back for the food.

    Coffee was delicious . I had a chicken, bacon, and Avocado sandwich. Bacon was inedible chicken was dry. Forgot onions I requested. We also had a chorizo wrap. Not a fan of chorizo. My boyfriend enjoyed it. He had red potatoes on the side that were excellent . I will go back and purchase the coffee. The menu looked good. Was really busy . next time I'll stick to breakfast.

    French Toast
    Lefai K.

    Scrambled is located right next to Portillo's on Lake Cook Road. I believe this place use to be some Greek restaurant of sorts, as I saw old signage for "Demitrius" or something like that, with even a waiter who still had the old black polo shirt :-D Scrambled has a pretty decent brunch menu, offering skillets, omelettes, crepes, french toast, waffles, pancakes, and more. I went with the house french toast, which consisted of Brioche Bread, Pastry Cream, strawberries, and syrup. It consisted of three pieces of bread, cut diagonally. Overall, enough food for this guy. Staff was friendly, and the coffee refills were on point. The overall decór and setup was great and I enjoyed the dining experience quite a bit. BATHROOM REVIEW: Located near the front entrance, the bathrooms were good. There is a normal height urinal, and a urinal of giants. I'm 5 foot 8, and this urinal would require a ladder to use. Usually there is a normal adult height urinal, and a kid height one. I thought it was funny. Plenty of stalls with high partitions, so you can do a number 2 and scroll through Instagram in peace. Sit or squat? Sit!

It was such a thoughtful touch that made our celebration feel extra special. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful with such a romantic atmosphere. It was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. Our server, Nathan, was exceptional. He was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. The manager also stopped by to check on us, which really showed how much they care about their guests. I've dined at much more expensive restaurants before, and I've honestly never experienced this level of hospitality. The food was incredible 10/10! Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The portions were generous, and I couldn't even finish my meal because there was so much delicious food. Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. From the outstanding service to the beautiful ambiance and amazing food, everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you to Nathan and the entire team for making our anniversary so memorable. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience!

    We came for an evening with friends and decided to take advantage of the Sunday "per la famiglia…read more(serves four)" special when we saw the menu. What looked like a generous offer of comfort food at a reasonable price, at a lovely Italian restaurant, was actually a gimmick worthy of Ebenezer Scrooge. Dinner started with a tasty chopped salad that would have been a reasonable entree for one or enough to share as an appetizer for two. It was a large spoonful each for four. The four garlic knots that accompanied the salad were each about 2x2x2 inches, and when we asked for a refill of both the salad and bread we were told "that's all you get." The spaghetti came with 2 meatballs in a portion size that looked like it was enough for an entree for only 1 person. We waited a moment and when no more came realized we were screwed. Later, seeing our disappointment, the waiter was kind enough to secretly get 2 more meatballs out of the kitchen for us to pretend there were portions for each person at the table. Had they been serving Italian tapas, maybe we could have pretended it was a fair approach. The 16 inch cheese pizza was good but nothing special and the tiramisu provided 4 small pieces a little larger than the garlic knots mentioned earlier when cut into squares. I don't know what kind of "famiglia" Salvatore "Sal" Lo Cascio, the culinary director at Ballyhoo Hospitality, or Ryan O'Donnell, the CEO, have; but they probably don't eat very much. Perhaps they expect the famiglia of their guests to be a single parent with young children or a group of little persons. In short, the food tasted good, the dining room was lovely, the service was outstanding, and the portions and prices were a complete rip-off to the point that the place should be put out of business. With two iced teas, a glass of house wine, tax and a generous tip the bill came to well over $100 and this morning when checking the receipt for this review I found out that they charged us $8.00 for the extra meatballs which the waiter pretended were a secret, complimentary addition. Not very nice!

They feature many different American-style sandwiches, many different Greek & Italian dishes, and a variety of salads, wraps, and so on. There is street parking in front, and a municipal lot just a few steps to the north; on weekends it can be a little crowded. Inside, the décor is very industrial-grade chic, with blonde wood tables and black metal chairs; it is nice and clean. When you order, you are given a little buzzer which lights up when your order is ready; you can then go to the counter to pick up your tray. You are also given a cup for drinks, which are self-dispensed from a machine and there is a self-serve counter for cutlery, napkins, and so on. The food is plentiful and hot; I ordered a smashburger (?) and it was very good. There were some fries with it (actually, a lot of fries) and there are condiments for your use on the table (ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper). . NB I'm not overly familiar with smashburgers but it was very good. . A small comment on the burger: It would have been nice to have the hamburger bun a little toasted. It was not soggy, but it was soft. But again, everything was very good. I very much enjoyed my visit to Backyard Grill and would definitely recommend! RECOMMENDED
