This morning was our first ever visit to this location and actually, any location in Illinois…read more We arrived around 8:45 am on a Wednesday. They were not busy at all. Plenty of booths, 4-top tables and hybrid tables. The hostess sat us at a booth as we requested. A moment later, our server, Makayla was by with coffee. She also left us the carafe and then brought out water and left us a large glass cold bottle of water - their standard practice. We ordered our meal about 5 minutes later. The two of us shared the following: - Farmhouse Hash with 2 Soft Scrambled Eggs - Side of 2 Poached Medium Eggs The meal was served hot and for us, it was the perfect amount of food. While we may not be back this way to visit this location, we can recommend it. And we look forward to our next First Watch visit close to our home in Texas.

The meat lovers skillet is probably my favorite item on the menu, I sub jalapeños for green peppers. Also the southern style chilaquiles are a great take on an old classic. Come to think of it, I don't think I've had a bad meal at Manny's, but those are some of my standouts. The staff is always friendly and prompt! Keep up the good work guys!!!

We stopped by Manny's for breakfast. The place has limited seating, it's small. Just a few table…read more They get pretty busy because of that. I got the BYO skillet. I had sausage, mushroom, and peppers. It was bland. The potatoes had a nice crispy and it was fluffy on the inside. There were barely any sausages. I wanna say they used one sausage and cut it in small pieces. My husband got the chicken Caesar wrap. This also barely had any chicken, mostly just lettuce. First few bites were good, but then it felt oily snd heavy after awhile. The banana foster French toast was decent. The caramel sauce made it too sweet for us.

So good I had to return for brunch. The portions here are huge and you'll have enough to share or…read morebring home. I love that there are unique Southern dishes like chicken and waffles, Southern fried chicken, and shrimp and grits. The coffee is hot, strong and accompanied by cute little baskets with individual creamers. The pancakes are super fluffy and served with a warm bottle of syrup. I am not a big fan of hot sauces as I don't eat spicy foods but had to dip a bite of chicken in the jalapeno hot sauce. It was really tasty and a tolerable amount of heat. I look forward to returning and trying even more versions of waffle or egg dishes here.

Went to Southern Cafe and overall it was a mixed experience…read more I got the veggie skillet and it was sooo good--definitely the highlight, super flavorful and honestly fire. The frappe was also really good. My friend ordered the avocado toast, which she liked, but her caramel macchiato was off at first it tasted mostly like milk with a little caramel. They did fix it though, so I'll give them credit for that. Only downside was she ended up feeling like she got food poisoning afterward. The egg on her dish had a thin film on it, so we're thinking it might not have been fully cooked, which is concerning. Service itself was good and the staff was nice. Parking was also easy, which is always a plus. Good food overall, but that situation definitely threw things off a bit.

My husband and I went to Sweet Orange Pancake House and Cafe with some friends on a Sunday morning…read more When we arrived a 11:30 the restaurant and outside eating area were completely full. The good news was that the wait was only about 5 minutes for our group of nine. They have an extensive menu. I had the tiramisu biscotti pancakes. The pancakes were light and fluffy but a little dry which was easily solved with syrup. The tiramisu topping was fantastic. The scoop lasted the whole order. My husband had the crunchy churro French toast. This was loaded with cinnamon and had a great crunch. The restaurant was bright and had a relaxed vibe. I highly recommend Sweet Orange Pancake House and Cafe!

Ate here a couple Sundays ago and, as expected, it was packed. We arrived around 1 PM and had to…read morewait outside, but that wasn't surprising since this place is always busy. The space is pretty small, so it can feel cramped inside, and prices are definitely on the higher side. Prices are on the higher side, but the chicken wrap with sweet potato fries was definitely worth it -- fresh, flavorful, and still good later that night. My daughter also loved the peanut butter latte. The steak protein bowl was just okay but not for the price (the sriracha garlic mayo was overpowering, so I'd recommend getting it on the side). We also tried the omelette, Philly steak sandwich, and potato pancake platter -- good, but nothing too special.

We headed here as we knew it was a small, local chain and had it on the "list" of places to try. When we walked in, harsh 5000k lighting greeted us. I'm not a fan; it causes "floaties" in my eyes. So frankly, that wasn't great. Briana's - a quick reminder that restaurants should be warm and inviting- using harsh, cold lighting does "not" count and was the reason for the sole demerit. We ordered food - i had a denver omelette with toast and crepes - and it was great, seriously. Service was fairly nice; the waitress was pleasant, the seating was new and very comfy, and except for the lighting? We'd return for sure!

The French toast side is out of this world. Perfect crisp outside and just the right texture inside. Service is where they could do better. I don't know if our waitress was having a bad day. She did not answer our thank yous. When we asked for syrup for the pancakes she told us we will bring it to you. Second time was exactly the same coming to this restaurant. I just recently came in town and was craving their French toast. Our waitress literally only showed up our table maybe twice. Really no interaction. Just took the orders and that was it.

This man needed a big breakfast today! I walked in right as they opened up on Mother's Day of all…read morethings, and I was by myself, but my God! This place was getting busy fast! I was seated pretty quickly and given a menu and ordered my standard unleaded coffee - decaf for those of you in the know. The ambience of the place was pretty good - very modern- very nice and it looked like it was very well-maintained. Always a good thing! To be honest? The only demerit was the waitress. Oh, she was good as a waitress, but she was not warm or welcoming - it seemed like she was just going through the motions, albeit professionally. It kind of makes a difference to me, you know? I decided to order a build your own omelette - I got turkey, sausage, turkey, bacon, and green peppers. In addition, I ordered a side of French toast and decided to try the hashbrowns because they look like they were housemade and not frozen. After a short bit of time, the food came out and oh my God! The portions were huge. I ate the French toast first but the only thing I noticed was the syrup was room temperature and not warmed up - not exactly a dealbreaker for me, but it would've pushed them over the top. The hashbrowns? Excellent! I put some hot sauce on the omelette and ate it all up - lickety split! So - would I come back? Probably. But I would hope for a different waitress is all. But I will say this - any breakfast joint that starts getting busy the very moment they open up at 7 AM on Sunday morning? Must be doing something right!
