This is by far the greatest breakfast restaurant that I know. The food is consistently good. Never have I been disappointed with what I ordered. Though the food is good I would say that it has competition in the race for this restaurant's greatest quality. That competition is the service. Everyone is delightful and kind. Furthermore, each waitress I have had knows the menus well and explains everything thoroughly. If you are looking for somewhere to eat in the area I would have to say that this really is your best choice. read more

We came here while in town for a friends wedding. We stopped here for breakfast. Our waitress was so nice I wish I had written down her name to mention her. We went on the earlier side and were able to get a seat right away which was nice. The menu had a lot of good options and some good variety of breakfast things. We ordered a scramble and avocado toast. I wish my toast had been a little bit more toasted, it didn't seem like it had been warmed or toasted at all. The breakfast potatoes were pretty good and we asked for them extra crispy. Our drinks were also pretty good. Overall, I didn't think it was amazing but it was a good place to stop and grab a big breakfast before being busy all day in the area. read more

Been coming here for years. The food and service are one of a kind, simply the best. The decor is plain, but fresh. And even on a busy Saturday morning when the place is jam packed, expect your food in 5-7 minutes. I time them every time - they are SO fast! If you haven't been here, you must try it. read more

Good place for breakfast in the area. They have an extensive menu with many options for breakfast, lunch and drinks. The food was good and came out very quickly. It was crowded on a Saturday morning, but we were able to be seated fairly quickly. On the other hand, the service was mediocre. Our server was very short with us and not friendly. We asked her to wipe off our table because it was dirty with coffee stains when we sat down. Her reply was "I know." Additionally, we saw multiple tables get up and plates were cleared, but the table was never wiped before the next guests were seated. This is gross in normal times, but I'd definitely expect it to be wiped down during peak covid times. read more

I LOVE Syrup. It never disappoints. Very unique food, fast service, cute environment. It is the best neighborhood breakfast or brunch spot in McHenry County. read more

My first visit my wife's second visit. Food was delicious. Had the classic breakfast in order to try some of the sides like the billion dollar bacon; which was delicious. The mango, habanero limeade is refreshing with just enough heat - if you like that sort of thing. The potatoes alone could fill you up multiple times. The chipotle maple was good to but a little too subtle in chipotle flavor for me - but no regrets asking for it. Atmosphere a little noisy on an early Sunday morning but but obnoxious. Bright, interesting plant accents at all the tables and in the walls. Our server Lexi was fantastic. Repeated our order to ensure she got it right. Very personable and engaging. Definitely a repeat place for when we are in Algonquin visiting with family. read more

Upon walking into Syrup it was a good atmosphere, very clean and bright. Service was superb both times I went. The food came quick, fresh, hot, & had big portions. I was impressed with the mimosa, made with quality ingredients, generous serving size, & tasted really delish. The coffee was really good, not just mundane diner coffee. The also had specialty coffee drinks with a wide array of flavors. The mini waffle flight were the best waffles I've ever had, as was the corned beef hash. I am kind of a breakfast snob and I will say this is one of the best breakfasts I've had. Outstanding food & I definitely will go back again! read more

This place would literally be heaven on earth IF you add hash browns to the menu. It's the only thing that's missing- I've been here probably a hundred times since opening - don't get me wrong I still come back and it's our go to breakfast place. Nothing else even comes close to comparing but please please please for the love of F8;k.... Add hash browns - the seasoned potatoes here are complete garbage... you know you throw away half the potatoes that go out to tables. I know you have a grater back there! Just grate and fry!!! Thank you for everything you do. This is my favorite place of all time. Easily best breakfast I've ever had -... minus the lack of hash browns. read more

Best breakfast spot in all of mchenry County hands down! Been eating here for years and will continue for many more!

What a cute place food was good priced and good portions. The service was above par. It was very close the the hotel.we stayed at. Lots of parking. The food was very good. The pancakes were fluffy and and the fried potatoes were fried perfect. Many choices and worth the short wait time. read more

Good food. We had the turkey gobbler sandwich and the panini. My only real complaint would be that the turkey gobbler sandwiches were on the small side and they were rather skimpy on the waffle fries. They served it on small plates to give the appearance of a full plate, had it been on a normal sized plate it would have been very noticeable. The service was acceptable and the restaurant inside was decorated cute. All in all it was a pleasant dining experience. read more

Food is great and the service is fast. The waffle Flight is creative and fun. Can be crowded during peak hours as expected in a small town. I do Like the atmosphere, clean and bright read more

In town for business and wanted to have a more delicious breakfast than the complimentary one at the hotel. This was perfect. I was sat quickly and the food and drinks were delivered fast as well. Everything was super tasty and fresh. The poached eggs were perfect and the mozzarella on the Mediterranean Avocado toast was delicious. Definitely recommend the limeade, I went with the blackberry, there was a ton of fruit pulp in it and it was nice and tangy. The server was very sweet and helpful. read more

Very good breakfast foods! I was told to try the chicken and waffles! delicious! great staff

If I could give this place six stars I would! The decor is super cute and the staff is very welcoming. It felt very safe eating here. The tables are spaced nicely to comply with social distancing guidelines and all staff wore masks. I heard all about their limeades and thought it would be like your typical fast food drive through drink but these are incredible! My favorite was the blueberry basil and my husband LOVED the mango habanero. (Just a tad spicy for me). We decided to order a bunch of food and share and there wasn't one thing we tried we didn't like. The Cluck Cluck skillet is huge and the gravy was perfectly paired with the chicken. The service was great. The manager came over to check on us which was much appreciated. If you're in the Algonquin area or are just looking for a hot new breakfast/lunch place to try eatatSYRUP! It was the perfect breakfast date to celebrate our anniversary. I can't wait to come back and try their lunch menu! read more

I am not a huge breakfast lover but this was really an excellent meal. I shared the waffle flight with my two dining companions and it was a fun (yummy!) experience to try four different and interesting waffles. The house syrup is sooooo delicious! I ordered the half order of chicken and waffles, still a generous portion and the chicken was just amazing...the breading/coating was so crispy and fresh and flavorful, and the chicken breast itself was juicy and not dry at all and had great flavor as well. My sister ordered egg benedict which I tasted and was great with a nice thick piece of ham. The restaurant is also really cute inside, very clean with friendly staff. Will be back 100% read more

I love traditions and I had been dining at Colonial Ice Cream locations my whole life; I was pleasantly surprised when they rebranded under the name Syrup. The menu got kicked up a notch but the food, friendly service, and vast experience is still tried and true! While the name is newer, the charming history and delicious food AND ice cream is ever present. read more

New place so I decided to try it out. So much better than I expected. I was torn between the waffle flight and the chicken and waffles but decided to go with the flight because they talked up the buttermilk syrup so much. Let me tell you about my new vice! The buttermilk syrup was THE game changer for me. I'd never had anything like it. It's amazing! Went back with a friend the following week and had my chicken and waffles and it was great. This is my new favorite place. Staff was also very friendly. #eatatsyrup has me converted. read more

SYRUP - Algonquin - Waffle flight. Banana cinnamon and lemon raspberry are my favorite. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Algonquin, Illinois

Came by for brunch on a weekday, and we ordered chicken and waffle deluxe (large), billion dollar bacon, home sweet home, and drinks including hibiscus cold brew tea and strawberry orange tea. The food came quickly, the server was very helpful and friendly. For the chicken and waffle deluxe, there was two fried chicken breast sandwiched between waffles, with maple syrup, cinnamon butter, bacon, and chipotle aïoli. The chicken was crispy and well-made. For the home sweet home, I ordered it without the goat cheese, with two over easy eggs. The bowl is simple but delicious, especially the sweet potato portion. The billion dollar bacon however was the best part of the meal, made with brown sugar and tasted like a combination of chipotle, Cajun spices. If we're ever in the area again, we will definitely come back! read more

I was literally starving and needed something satisfying. I saw this place pop up on my google maps and knew by all the 5 star reviews i had to try this place. Im glad i did. I had the Chicken Apricot Panini. It was crispy, gooey, and delicious. My mom had a salad. She said it was good. I didnt have a chance to try it. The service was solid. Servers were polite, always wore masks, and there was ample distance between tables and guests. This restaurant is also very clean. This is a place i would totally bring all my girlfriend to for brunch. read more

This place the tops in our area.... saturated in brunch places. The food is ridiculous- how good it is. We usual get orders to go n they are spot on with the order, flavor, and punctuality. This is , and will continue to be our "go to" place. It's a little pricey, but each meal is two meals for each of us. Margarito, California Benedict, lemon berry crepes... are just a few must try's here. I cannot say enough good things about about this place read more

My wife and I decided to come here after hearing such good things about their other location. After being seated immediately by hostesses not wearing masks, we decided to get the coffee while we looked at the menu. I ordered the meat skillet and my wife got strawberry cream cheese French toast. We were both surprised at how long it took for the food to arrive. But the food was decent regardless of the timeliness. Unfortunately, the restaurant has been closed twice due to lack of sanitation and standards regarding COVID. I must say I'm not terribly surprised based on my experience here having been twice. I think the food is your typical fare for breakfast, nothing special. read more
