    I had a few minutes to spare before teaching my class in St. Charles, and instead of grabbing something quick at Culver's down the street, I noticed a cute little spot called Eat at Syrup. What really drew me in was that they offered turkey bacon on the menu. Any place willing to provide a pork alternative is worth my time. The exterior is modern and very clean, especially for being in a strip mall. The interior matches that vibe--lots of clean whites, black lettering, and even a small area that's clearly meant for photos if that's your thing. The staff I interacted with were kind and helpful. I started with a decaf coffee with flavored cream and a shot of caramel. For my meal, I ordered the basic two eggs with potatoes, turkey bacon, and a slice of cinnamon French toast. The flavors overall were fine--nothing too bold, but enjoyable. I especially liked the French toast, though it was a little firmer than I expected; a softer texture would've made it even better. The potatoes were the only real letdown. They had more of an "air fryer" feel--light and a bit dry--when I prefer them more sautéed or lightly fried with some crispiness. They weren't bad, just not what I was hoping for. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. I enjoyed my meal, and I'd recommend it if you're in the St. Charles area. I definitely plan to come back and try more. For this first visit, I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 4. r

    Tasty food! I got chicken and waffles. The service is good, but I always feel like they're hoping we'll leave quickly. It's bustling on the weekends, so I get it, but I'm going to take my time and enjoy myself.

    Chicken and waffles
    Emily P.

    One of my favorite breakfast places in the area! I love the clean, pleasant decor and the fact that I've never had to wait for a table. Their regular chicken and waffles with chives was delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly (crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside). Our server, Amber, was the best server we've had. She was excellent at multitasking (she was helping all the tables in the area we were seated), friendly, and quick. She was great about the timing with asking how the food is, taking straw wrappers right away, and asking if we wanted to-go boxes and cups without skipping a beat.

    Stopped in for breakfast and had about a 40 minute wait, which was expected on a busy Sunday morning. The food was good and their drinks are very refreshing! They offer a variety of fresh squeezed juices and brunch's tails. Beware the portion sizes are quite large for their dishes. I had the strawberry smash drink (not pictured) and would recommend for a spiked lemonade twist with fresh fruit mixed in. Billion $ bacon was smokey and sugary worth a try kids love 'em.

    Santa Fe Omelette

    Very popular and busy place, we came at 10:30am on a Sunday and there was already a small wait, when we left there were several groups waiting. Large selection or brunch items. Portion sizes are decent, I got the Santa Fe omelette and only managed to finish half my food (didn't even touch my pancakes which I upgraded from an English muffin). I got their blueberry basil limeade which I enjoyed but was more tart than I expected. Service was good, they refilled our waters multiple times and didn't rush us even though the restaurant was busy and people were waiting.

    This was only my second time at syrup but it was great once again. I got the mediterranean omelet which was amazing and I was able to get egg white substituted which was great. I also got a side of the cinnamon roll French toast which was delicious. My omelet also came with a roasted potatoes which were nice and crispy. Portions are very generous and prices are average given the area. Our server was very attentive and fast. Great experience.

    The food was excellent I truly love their huge breakfast The chicken and waffle out of this world the link sauce is so delicious The ambiance is pretty neat And welcoming modern and clean The service was very prompt and the server was very nice Service is amazing we ordered fruit Lime aids out of this world The only thing I was disappointed was that the pancakes were raw in the middle I took a bite and bright them home for dinner and cooked them They tasted better

    What a great place for to eat! We had my mom's 72nd birthday brunch here and they accommodated me and 17 of my family members. We waited a little bit to get our table but for 18 people, we expected longer wait. The food is plentiful and done well. We were all thoroughly impressed by how fast and tasty everything was and our server was excellent. It's not easy serving 18 people, but she was so nice. She even made my side pancakes with sprinkles and whipped cream so my little one could eat it as her meal. The food is superb. We basically ordered more than half of the menu and we were not disappointed. The chicken fried chicken was cooked perfectly. It was not dry and the gravy was the right amount of salty. My sister enjoyed her BLT-E A, and my nieces enjoyed their chilaquiles (humongous BTW) and crab eggs benny. Would definitely come back for drinks as well :)

    Our service was top notch. The server we had was super friendly and did an amazing job. The food tastes as good as it looks. Huge portions. I'm a big eater and I couldn't finish everything. I am actually craving this and will go back again! Too bad we're from out of town because this would be a regular spot!

    Biscuits and Gravy with Eggs & Breakfast Sliders & Lavender Latte
    Miranda L.

    Came out to Syrup for a Sunday brunch around 9:15am. When checking in, the host let us know there would be a 10-15 minute wait and took our name/phone number to notify us when our table was ready. We only waited about 5 minutes before we were able to be seated! Inside, Syrup follows the trendy magnolia style that a lot of "boujee brunch" spots have. We loved the simple black and white aesthetics with a branding feature wall and cool lighting accents. The menu had a wide variety of offerings between breakfast, lunch, coffee, and cocktails. On top of their menu, they do also have seasonal offerings. To start, I got the seasonal Iced Lavender Latte. I was very impressed with the size and flavor of the latte! Next, we ordered the Biscuits and Gravy with Eggs as well as the Breakfast Sliders. The breakfast sliders had (3) mini brioche buns with bacon jam, scrambled eggs, and a sausage patty. As a side, my partner substituted the seasoned potatoes with their cheesy grits (no upcharge). I got the Biscuits and Gravy which was served in a skillet dish for presentation purposes only. The eggs and potatoes came out on a separate dish so one could add them in or eat on their own. Overall, the food was basic; as a whole, it was lacking salt, pepper, and herbs. My biscuits were warm and not hot which probably stemmed from the skillet dish not being warm. My partner enjoyed his meal but I can't say I left feeling satisfied. The prices weren't terrible compared to similar styled brunch spots but for the food quality, I wouldn't go back.

    Sliders
    Bowl B.

    Of all the brunch places I've ever been to... this is the best! Even come at least 5 times since Christmas. The menu is incredible, the service is stellar and I have zero complaints! Definitely recommend their bloody Mary's and the breakfast sliders!

It seemed like there were not enough servers, and staff kept saying they were too busy to take orders because they had too many tables. We waited a very long time just for someone to take our order, and overall the service felt slow, unorganized, and frustrating. On top of that, the food quality has dropped significantly compared to previous visits. We ordered the Holy Molly, and it came with literally three small pieces of meat, which was very disappointing for the price. As a customer, it feels like the restaurant may be trying to reduce costs, and unfortunately that appears to be impacting both service and food quality. I understand restaurants get busy, but in this case the experience was far below expectations. Between the long wait times, lack of attention, and noticeable decline in food quality, this visit was very disappointing. I would appreciate a response regarding how these issues will be addressed moving forward.

This place is incredible... the food is to die for. It's the first place I've been to and did not feel like bloated or so full to where I was sick because the portions were perfect. Nothing here fell short, in fact it's the first place in the burbs where the food wasn't overly salted or fried in some type of oil. Everything tasted fresh. The flavors were busting up in my mouth every bite I took, even down to snowball fight drink we had. I highly, highly recommend the bread cheese appetizer- this was something super unique to me as I've only had grilled up cheese one other time in Brazil, Queijo Coalho.... There was a beautiful twist on this cheese- crunchy, creamy, sweet, savory and the honey and tabbouleh were such a great finish to this dish. Pair this with the fresh bread and it was chefs kiss! We had the beer braised short rib and seabass- two completely different flavored entres that we absolutely perfect. The short rib you literally can't go wrong with- melted in my mouth with every bite - and hats off the the chef who cooked the onions so perfect to actually be able to taste them instead of just carmelizing or salting them! I would call this your typical Midwest comfort dish. The seabass was much different the salad was tangy with the lentils being rich- add a nice cooked crispy top seabass and you got yourself a unique dish of flavors that will have you thinking what's in it after hours! But the star of the show was dessert of course - OMFG - s'mores ice cream sunday ....... I died and went to heaven literally. I have never tasted ice cream that mimicked everything I've ever wanted my ice cream to taste like. It was the perfect temperature (trust me a lot of restaurants it's either rock hard or melted) this was epic. Creamy, almost pudding like and being able to taste every note was wild to me. The graham cracker - yes the freaking graham cracker was the best one I've ever tasted in my life. Clearly I've never had a graham cracker without preservatives before. The chocolate syrup .... Jeeze let me tell if I could swim in it I would.... The service was friendly, prompt and right on time. The server knew all the cues and timing of all the food to come out. She checked in everytime we got something to make sure everything was just right... you can tell she takes her job seriously but also knows how to interact with people - something a lot of servers lack these days so we really appreciated the service.
