    Southern Belle's restaurant
    Robert C.

    What better way to enjoy a home cooked meal than in a home. Odd opening line, yes I agree but it is exactly that. Downtown Barrington IL is a beautiful stuck in time city. Centered in the middle of town the train station allows commuters to commute to and fro Barrington to Chicago. The homes in the city were built by successful professionals bringing with it very tasteful architecture. One of these beautiful homes has turned into a very beautiful restaurant with very tasteful dishes. Setting down getting ready to order I found myself taking in the decor, imagining the home as it once was and the aroma from the meals being prepared, the waitress interrupted my lost in thought moment, The menu consisted of so many epic dishes it was hard to choose just one, my Father ordered pancakes that would have served three people or lasted for a week, the omelette was the size of a small football and the country fried steak smothered with sausage gravy took me back to Texas size and Texas taste. You have to put this one on your bucket list. Everything about this place far exceeds your expectations. Taste, presentation, proportions, and value! I will find my way back here and bring friends and family with me. I could go on and on, but I think I already have. Don't skip this one.

    BONUTS BONUTS BONUTS! Stopped by Southern Belles for brunch and if you have not tried their bonuts, you are missing out! A cinnamon sugar biscuit doughnut paired with chocolate sauce or fruit mascarpone dip. Easy to share with a group or splurge for yourself. We also got the country style biscuits and gravy with a side of grits. This isn't my favorite b&g in the area but my partner enjoyed it. They have quite a large menu with variety so there's something for everyone.

    Cute place, plenty of parking. The food was good and the staff seemed very nice and friendly.

    Cute decor for the theme, with staged areas on the 'balconies'. Staff was friendly and attentive, even with it being a busy weekend. Parking can be a challenge, but there are some street spaces and parking lots around. We got a special, the hot honey fried chicken French toast, and the shrimp & grits. No complaints on the first - eggs were fluffy and delicious, the chicken was hot, crispy, and juicy, and the French toast was pretty standard. The sauce tied it all together. The sauce for the shrimp & grits was weirdly grainy like it split, but mixing it into the grits solved that issue. The shrimp were well seasoned and not overcooked, but my over easy eggs had a lot of uncooked white inside. Again, not a big deal because I just mixed them into the grits. Will definitely be back to try the bonuts and the corned beef hash!

    Me and my sister and my brother-in-law we went to Southern Belle on a Sunday before the memorial day. It was around 1:30 PM when we reached the restaurant and first per empty because we were too late for branch. It took us about 30 minutes to just find the parking as there was a art fest going on. We were seated and ANNA was our server we ordered coffee asked for fresh juice, same they didn't have any fresh juice. I ordered avocado pesto Benedict which Anna told that it's gonna be really good. My sister ordered a Panini veggie Panini, which was not on the menu so she asked her to put some veggies and make a Panini which again Anna was very kind to get that accommodated. And my brother-in-law ordered chicken wrap in the meanwhile we are waiting for the food and I got us complimentary Bonuts, something that southern Belle have on their menu. Everything was really good. We enjoyed our branch, but the best part was Anna was really sweet and had a smiling personality and she was something who knew what's exactly in the restaurant kitchen and what exactly they can make for us and very accommodating. She definitely needs recognition so if the business owner or the manager reached this review, she should be recognized or even given a raise thank you

    Great Again. Love to go when we visit Old Town Barrington. BroNuts were delicious. Thanks SB

    Had a fantastic breakfast here with my daughter after the orthodontist today. Food was delicious, and made to order with my special requests. A quaint restaurant that has a great deal of Southern Charm north of the mason dixon line! Our server Sidney made our experience complete. She was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, focused, remembered everything we needed and thought of things we didn't even know we needed. So often it's hard to have good service at restaurants, Sidney was the best and left me feeling hope for the future! Looking for a good place for breakfast, brunch or lunch try this place!

    Yes yes yes! My go to breakfast spot. The service although a little slow is wonderful. Also portions are HUGE!!!! You'll have left overs for a few days. I love taking my baby here because there are so many options and everyone is friendly. Pancakes and biscuits are bomb. Smoothies are delicious. The fried chicken sandwich is good! Their shrimp and grits are amazing!!!! I've transplanted myself back to the south seriously AMAZING! Other hits: Chicken noodle soup- fresh, not salty Crispy chicken wrap Debutant skillet Biscuits and gravy

    Country Benedict
    Nicole M.

    Went to brunch with some friends and the plates had huge portions of food. Basically took home another whole meal. The service great, we were waiting on some friends who were running late and our waitress checked on us very frequently and even our friends who were late. I enjoyed how many options there were on the menu. The atmosphere was very cute and got some great Instagram pictures!

    Country fried steak!
    david L.

    This is a tough review to figure out how to rate it. We've been frequent customers for the past few years, we order take out a lot and have dined in at least 15 times recently. My review will be an average of all our dine in experiences. The food is great at Southern Belle's, solid menu with some unique dishes. I don't have anything bad to say about the food quality, taste, and options. Really the only issue I've experienced on multiple occasions is the slow service. My servers forget to bring my coffee about 50% of the time I order it. Almost anytime we dine in the food takes longer than average to come out. It doesn't make much difference if there are 5 tables filled or the entire restaurant. I do t think it's the servers issue, because they're typically attentive and very friendly. I think it's an operational or staffing issue. During our visit today it was moderately busy but it took over 25 minutes to serve our breakfast and they did forget my coffee again. We love to support local businesses, however there are many other great breakfast restaurants within 5 miles like Egg Harbor and Jelly Cafe that have good food and consistently fast service. I hope they can figure out the service aspect, so we can keep coming to a place we really like

    If you like a hearty breakfast, this is the place for you! My first time at SB in a while, and I was quickly reminded why I love it so much. The ambiance (5/5) and service (5/5) are excellent. The food quality (5/5) and portions (5/5) are very good. Had the pancakes (big and fluffy, little vanilla flavor) and sausage patties (big as a burger!) and they tasted terrific--cooked to perfection and quite full of flavor. Overall, highly recommended!

    Crabby Benedict
    Eric L.

    The restaurant was busy and lively when we arrived. I was really curious about the crabby Benedict when I saw it on the menu. Although I didn't get any whole crab pieces in the crab cakes, the dish was well constructed. The sauce went well with the Benedict and I really enjoyed the hash browns on the side.

    Yummy-ness

    How I have missed you. I get back to the area about 3 times a year. So happy to see the consistent service and outstanding menu choices. The menu has expanded filling every culinary need. Thank you for the fresh biscuit and my own coffee kettle. So happy this place is thriving!!

    See all

I got a box of assorted pastries to bring home and each one was incredible. My kids didn't like any of them... but ambrosia won me over. This is a refined place. The flavors are classic and textures are notable. Rich dark chocolate, real strawberry cream, flaky and intentionally packed with texture. No candy flavors or artificial stuff. Each item seemed like it was expertly crafted from a 150 year old recipe. This is a trek for me, and I'd happily make a morning trip to come here again.

We also picked up some almond croissants and chocolate croissants and both were delish... to me they were a bit on the smaller side though. The cafe is really cute and clean with a sitting area. We came an hour before closing, so options were limited but they do have a big display case and would love to go back and check out what else they have to offer. I am a fan of flourless cake- so hoping to get to try a slice the next visit.

It was rather crowded when we first arrived, but we were seated right away. We had no silverware setups and assumed they would bring them before our meals. There were four of us - each ordered something different. Two of us had skillets, one an omelet, and I ordered a club sandwich. While the food was very good, nothing was right on the order. Pancakes were delivered as sides rather than biscuits, a diet code with ice was delivered instead of a regular coke with no ice, the club sandwich came as a wrap, my regular fries came our as sweet potato fries, no silverware was delivered and we had to get up to get it ourselves, and there was more. We did receive apologizes and, for the most part, the mistakes were corrected. This could all have been solved if our waiter wrote down the order rather than thinking he could recall everything. I'm still giving them four stars even though the service was not up to expectations. The food quality is still very good, and when the mistakes were corrected, we were very happy with our meals. The portion sizes are large, and the food is quite good. So, I'll chalk this up as a series of mishaps and I don't expect we'll have the same experience next time.

Though it is a little more difficult to find than some of the other locations which are more visible off the main road, this parking lot setup is a bit more spacious than what I've seen at other locations. Service is fairly fast and friendly, and the dining room doesn't feel too cramped even when it's busy. In terms of food, the quality of cooking is similar to other Egg Harbor restaurants that I've reviewed. The cooking for me is a bit on the healthier side and I enjoy the flavor combinations that I get here. While there are some more adventurous savory and sweet options available, the standards are always done well here as well. Portion sizes are fairly good and presentation is pretty good as well. Maybe the only thing I'd like to see is a bit better execution on textures here. That is, crispy items should be more crispy -- fluffy items should be more fluffy. But this is probably a result of this restaurant usually being quite busy and therefore I might not be getting the food super fast when it's done cooking from the kitchen. Overall, if you're a fan of Egg Harbor restaurants, this location will serve up your usual favorites.
