    fried chicken with gravy and gravy sauce
    Heather D.

    Service and food were excellent!!! Will definitely be back! I had the chicken on biscuits, so good!

    a bowl of soup and a cup of coffee

    Passed by this cute little cafe in Sandwich, IL. Absolutely delicious food and outstanding service! The portions of the food was so much we couldn't finish our meal. We had a skillet and country fried steak over biscuits and gravy. The soup was the best cream of chicken and rice soup I have ever had! Definitely give this restaurant a try!

    My daughter loves the Mickey Mouse pancakes, the servers are so nice and the decor is adorable!

    Tasty Waffle - Steak skillet with jalapeno. Look how small the steak is cut up

    A TALE OF TWO RESTAURANTS. A very weak fourth star…read more As you walk in the atmosphere is inviting. The dining room is spacious. Everything is in order and looks clean. I was sat immediately and my waitress took my order as soon as I was ready. Both the hostess and waitress were friendly and competent. Even the silverware was basically spotless. Unfortunately that's where the good news ends. I ordered the steak skillet with diced jalapeños. When it arrived it looked fine. The scrambled eggs were fluffy and inviting. When I took my first forkful it went downhill fast. The steak was cut into unappetizing kibble sized pieces. After eating a few bites I encountered my one and only sizeable piece of green pepper. Curious I took the eggs off the top of the rest of the skillet and then lost my appetite. Before me was a brown mess of ingredients. I order meals with a healthy amount of freshies in order to have something fresh and not too heavy, fatty or greasy. This was all of those. I finished the eggs and pushed brown pile away. SUCH A GOOD START! wasted by poor food. A note about the back of house management: there was a lot of standing around. The white guy with the white hair whom I took to be the owner had a look on his face like he just didn't wanna be there. Don't know if it's RBF but at least try to look like you are happy to see people. I'm just so disappointed. I'm not going to make a recommendation this time. They do some things so well and some so poorly. I don't think I could be fair.

    I do not think the waffles should be the main draw. They were just okay. The other breakfast items…read morewere good. However, the service was great and restaurant feel was homey.

    I took my cousin to Chicago Waffles in Oak Park for breakfast around 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, arriving…read morewithout a reservation. The place was packed, with several large parties waiting to be seated. After a few minutes the hostess appeared, and once I confirmed everyone ahead of us had already checked in, she told us the wait would be short since it was just the two of us. Despite every table being full, we were seated within five minutes. The waitstaff immediately brought water to the table, and Alexis--our server--came by shortly after to take our drink order: a latte and a freshly brewed iced tea. Both arrived promptly. After several minutes to review the menu, we ordered the Paco Taco, a side of Maple-Bacon Sausage, and a half order of Bacon & Chicken (aka Chicken & Waffles). I appreciated being able to choose my syrup and went with the spicy option. Our food arrived in about 15 minutes, served at the right temperature and looking great. The pancakes (for the Paco Taco) were fluffy, and the chicken & waffles paired perfectly with the spicy syrup. Unfortunately, the side order was missing. After waiting a bit, I reminded Alexis, who seemed a little flustered but attentive. It took another 10 minutes for the side to arrive, and by then we were nearly finished with our meal. A small hiccup, but the overall quality of the food still stood out--flavorful and well-prepared. Alexis also refilled my iced tea without me having to ask, which I appreciated. Even with the restaurant at full capacity, we were able to talk comfortably, likely because we were seated toward the back. The space is charming, nicely decorated, and offers a wide range of food and drink options. Some items are on the pricier side, and no one mentioned the 3% credit card surcharge, so that's something to be aware of. Chicago Waffles delivers delicious food, friendly service, and a lively atmosphere. While our visit included a minor delay with a missing side order, the overall experience was positive--great flavors, generous portions, and a well-run restaurant even during a busy rush. Just remember to bring cash if you want to avoid the 3% credit card surcharge!

    Walked inside at around 10am on a Sunday and was met with bright lights, the strong smell of…read morebathroom cleaner, and the loud roar of everyone attempting to talk over generic club music. The saving grace of this place was the friendly wait staff. Was seated quickly, but had to wait a while to have our order taken. Was immediately put off by the cost-- $15 for two eggs, potatoes, and toast. Wound up deciding on two coffees , "the Liege Pearl" waffle and a skillet. The coffee was weak and terrible. None of the flavors were balanced for the dishes. Way too much cheese and barely any mushroom or potato in the skillet while the waffle has tons of chocolate dumped on it, drowning out any other flavors. The kicker was that we were given 3/4 of a full waffle. When we asked, we were told the dish normally is only HALF a waffle and that we were lucky to get an additional quarter. For $17. Even if the menu were half the cost, I would never come back here. Edit: Dropped to one star on account of the unhinged response from the owner. To clarify: as soon as you walk into the restaurant, it smells like urinal cakes. I'm happy for the owner that they are attracted to that smell, but I'm positive the majority of people don't want the smell of urinal cakes to accompany their breakfast. Also to anyone else reading this, there are four sit down restaurants within two blocks with better breakfast food at better prices that don't smell like a toilet, let alone 3 other breakfast restaurants that opened in Oak Park in the last couple of years. Do yourself a favor and eat literally anywhere else.
