What a pleasant surprise to find such a great family restaurant in Norridge ( a bit outside Chicago)! We were looking for a gathering for an Easter dinner ( a the midpoint for some family coming from burbs) and I was blown away by everything . The food portions were massive and filling . Service was great ! They have huge banquet halls for large groups and it was busy that day!. Our menu was Easter focused but some of the same things are on the regular menu . I had a delicious ham steak. Not out here this often but would absolutely come back #familystyle #chicago read more

First time at The Blossom Cafe & what a delightful experience! Fantastic place for large family gatherings. Love that they had Easter specials and everyone could order à la carte, even including from the regular menu. The freshly baked warm bread delivered to the table had super spreadable butter. Every entrée came with a soup or salad, I agree with the recommendation to upgrade to French onion soup. The leg of lamb special was super tender. They definitely know how to do their sides well, from the fresh made mashed potatoes, to the chunky, steamed vegetables. I had enough for a full meal in leftovers afterwards! Despite being busy during the holidays, service was very attentive, and we felt very well taken care of. read more

Bustling restaurant! Busy parking lot in a large strip mall, but I found a spot and headed inside. Almost all tables and booths were occupied at 1 PM on a Wednesday afternoon. My party was seated, menus and water provided promptly. There's an extensive menu, with numerous tempting selections for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I opted for the California omelet, a delight of veggies including tomatoes, onions, mushrooms and avocado; topped with tasty cheese. Delicious! My companion had chicken piccata which came with bread and soup. Everything looked great and was reported as good. Portions were huge! Coffee was good, refilled as needed. All told, this was a good dining experience! read more

Had my order delivered uber eats. Ordered 2 lemon piccatta and pork dish. Did not receive my sides.

Came here Sunday around noon and waited about 30 minutes. The place was packed. Had the Athenian omelete which was huge and a bit heavy. Overall, a standard diner and you know what you're getting. read more

The restaurant is very dark. The weight staff was not very attentive. The food was not worth the price. Let me tell you. I ordered a turkey club. The tomatoes were old and mushy and had barely any bacon on it. My friend had the Mediterranean rep and she said it was tasteless. The best part of the whole meal was the soup definitely will not be going back there. read more

Huge parking lot ... nice outside patio dining. The restaurant has an American style menu ... the basics ... meat & potatoes. The food is well prepared and the service is quick and efficient. It is a place that me and my friends patronize from time to time when I visit the Chicagoland area. When in the neighborhood, do drop in and enjoy a pleasant dinning experience. read more

Service is always Rockstar! My sidekick ordered breakfast and I did lunch items. My sandwich was good...but I think Bennigan's did the Monti Cristo the best. French Onion is the good old classic and was delicious! Ambiance is busy, hot breakfast/lunch spot in the area. read more

It's local, consistent and I love it. Great portions, decent prices and good wait staff. Everything on the menu is great. I'm a soup girly and I only wish they would offer more kinds. I particularly LOVE the feta and spinach stuffed chicken breast, the Harvest salad with homemade creamy balsamic dressing, spinach pie and the avocado, bacon cheddar chicken melt! Of course the omelets are to die for. Ambiance great. Just a great local place to take friends and family. And they treat you like family! Once my nephew and I spent 5 HOURS there talking about life, etc. Not one second did we feel any pressure to leave, or feel uncomfortable. It's that kind of place. read more

This place was awesome. I've been here for banquets where dishes have been preselected for me, but I got invited to the restaurant section for the first time. Amazing food, very clean and pleasant ambiance, and very friendly and attentive service from our waiter Patrick. I had a Sunday special- half slab of BBQ ribs and country fried chicken. Most restaurants have cut back on portions, but with all it came with I was not able to finish. Great business. Only thing I could add is that I wish they had a vinigarette based dressing. read more

Great place! Menu is huge. Plenty of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Service is very friendly. I had the French toast collage. It's a combo with French toast, eggs, sausage, and bacon. So delicious. They do charge a 3% fee for credit card use. Parking lot is a little cramped. Other favorites from my group include burgers, omelets, soup, and French dip. read more

This was our first time here (visiting). Eric was our server and he gave Great customer service, the food was Delicious and the prices were a little high, ($94 for breakfast items), but it was fine because we treated ourselves to a wonderful experience! read more

Stopped for a meal before our flight. Wasn't sure if I was in the mood for breakfast or regular food so the diner atmosphere was great. They're specials of the day and I went for one. The prime ribs sliders were okay. A little fatty so hard to eat like a sandwich. Steak fries are always a hit with me. Pea soup with ham and the buttery garlic croutons-should've just gotten a bowl vs a cup of that! He got the American burger. Bacon was thick and porky and the burger was huge so no complaints from him. Also came with steak fries. Staff was quick and friendly. Food came out fast and hot. Bathrooms were clean. read more

My friend heard that this place has good food, so we decided to try it. Parking near the restaurant is limited. The restaurant is in a strip mall so there is other areas to park but a little ways from the door. When we entered, it was dim not sure if it was supposed to be that way or they did it for lunch. You would think that dimming lights would only be around dinner time, but it was when we entered. There were people waiting for tables, so the entrance was crowded. Good thing we made reservations as we were seated right away. My friend and I were catching up so the waitress had to come by a couple times to check on us to see if we were ready. She didn't rush us, but we felt bad that we were talking more than reviewing the menu. Once our order was placed, we received some warm bread and melted butter. When our food came, it looked delicious. My friend ordered a club sandwich with steak fries and the sandwich looked good. I ordered the Irish Benny with crispy hashbrowns as I requested. I thought the eggs Benedict with the hashbrowns would make it salty, but it wasn't. Overall, we were happy with the service and the food. We didn't think to ask about the lights, but wish it was just a little brighter. Will come back when in the area but make sure to have reservations. read more

Our group of 15 (which includes several couples) dines out at least twice a month. Before making a reservation, the first thing we do is ask the restaurant if they will give us separate checks. We had dined at Blossom Café previously and separate checks were never an issue here. Most recently, when we called to confirm our reservation, we were told, "No problem, just inform your server when you arrive." Upon arrival, we told Assistant Manager "K" that we had a reservation. Eying our group, she scowled and gestured at the very busy dining room. Then, looking in her black book, she found our reservation but for unknown reasons it was lined out. The restaurant was not at all prepared to handle us and we had to wait in the crowded entrance for several minutes while staff rearranged tables. Once seated, we reminded our server about the separate checks. He responded, "No, we can't do separate checks! Only one check per table!" We persisted and he trotted off, returning with a defiant Assistant Manager "K." For several very uncomfortable moments, she made a scene shaking her head and stubbornly repeating, "No, we CANNOT do separate checks!" (had all of us gotten up and walked out without ordering, the Café would have been out $400; so much for her ignorance). We persisted and asked to speak with the owner. But the owner was not present. Finally "K" summoned a manager, who grudgingly said, "We'll see what we can do." A botched reservation is one thing, but reneging on agreed-to separate checks is unacceptable. The food and service were really very good (our server "M" was wonderful) ... and ironically the restaurant handled our separate checks efficiently and without error! In the absence of an apology (oh, but "K," bless her generous heart, comped ONE cup of coffee for ONE vocal individual), our group will not be returning to Blossom Café. And, in the absence of an apology, we will inform others how rudely we were treated. read more

I have not been here in quite a while. It just seems that I like other places better. Breakfast was my journey today. I have to say it was kind of lackluster. I ordered pancakes and told them to hold the confectioners sugar on it. Needless to say, I got the pancakes with the confectioners sugar. I pointed it out and they brought me new ones. They had forgotten though to include the whipped cream that came with it. So they did bring me whipped cream. When it comes to maple syrup, they give you such a small amount. Since I last had breakfast there prices had gone up. I usually would get by with $20 or less and this time it was more than that. It is just too darn dark in there. Just sayin'. read more

Ambiance and service is good. Food, on the other hand is not quality. Our order today. Full slab, two soups. Let m le tell you the soup had hardly any rice or chicken in it. The carrots were still a bit hard, the broccoli no flavor. The ribs tasted like a pre packed rib. The fries had a small hair, they took back and made a fresh batch but really! They offered us dessert to make up for the hair but really! We had children but why offer if you already failed why prolong our visit read more

Stopped in today for dinner I had filet mignon sliders appetizer and my companion had shrimp dejonghe The meal was very good Our server was good and we ate outside The reason I'm not giving it a 5 star is because they charge a 3% service charge if you don't pay cash and use your credit card. Sorry but it's no longer Covid and this charge started during Covid , time to drop the service fee It isn't much and I believe in taking care of your server but there might be people who will tip less because of this fee and the servers who work hard shouldn't be punished. So Blossom , get rid of the fee read more

I'm not a complainer but I ordered their jumbo fried ship Platter and the shrimp was so deep fried , the shrimp was hard and a very dark color. I tried eating it because I was so hungry. I let the waiter know & he said I can only offer you a desert. The carrot cake was not good either it didn't taste fresh I couldn't eat it. The service and the ambiance were good, but not the food my friend had their chicken catatory and said it was too salty. I am disappointed because I've had some good food here but not on this visit. read more

I had this food a while back. Everyone was so polite and the food was very good. They had very large portions as well

As I wrap up the work part of my working vacation, I've been staying in the hotel to focus on the business-sy reasons that I'm in Chicago, with food being either hotel dining or lunch set up by the organizers. I wanted to order something different and on the healthy side today and thus ordered delivery from Blossom. My food came within a good timeframe and was pretty tasty. I enjoyed their Grecian Chicken, a rotisserie-style half chicken but with an olive oil marinade and baked-in spices with a side of steamed carrots and a baked potato. The chicken breast was pretty sizeable & with yummy flavor, and the carrot slices had a good crisp from being fresh steamed. The baked potato was just served with sour cream; I'm not sure if it was a limit from the delivery app but there was no butter or bacon to "load" it. My side chicken soup - chicken bullion and loaded with vegetables and elbow pasta - was yummy as well! All in all, a great spot for tasty bites if you're in the O'Hare area. read more

FANTASTIC dining experience at Blossom Cafe! We went here around 2:30 on a Sunday and everything was perfect. Our server was Brian, so polite and sincerely kind. He went above and beyond to give us excellent service! We made it just in time to catch the breakfast menu, which ends at 3:00 PM. We were served fresh bread with delicious butter and strawberry jam as soon as we settled into our seats. We ordered mimosas which was served with FRESHLY SQUEEZED orange juice. We ordered the Denver Skillet- perfectly cooked veggies and potatoes. They served it in a dish that kept the food hot. We also ordered the Chicken Marsala, which is served with choice of salad or soup, a potato dish and veggies for only $20! It was so delicious. Large portions for such an affordable price. I can't believe anyone would give this place less than a 5 star review. We will be back, this definitely will be one our regular spots. The ambience made the experience that much better, dim lighting but not too dark and very comfortable booths. We smiled and laughed our way through our meal, and we kept saying how great this place this! Very nice decorations for Christmas. And we noticed how all of the staff works together to make this place amazing and very clean. THANK YOU BRIAN- we will request you every time we come back! read more

Recently went to Blossom Cafe for the first time with my extended family, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc., (party of ~10) and had Gina as a server, and she was absolutely phenomenal. She was calm, attentive, and patient. She got our overly complicated order (with many dietary restrictions) correct, to us in a timely fashion, and made our visit well worth it. In addition, the food was so delicious, and between Gina's grace and kindness, and the delicious food, I would definitely recommend. If you go, for sure request Gina as your server! read more

wow the biggest omelets I have ever seen, the size of a football! I got the skillet (with 4 eggs) and rye bread toast that was the size of a slipper! it was 67$ for three of us for breakfast with coffee. it was very good but too much food, would rather pay less and not leave food on my plate. Just sayin' read more

I ordered the breakfast with the biscuits and sausage gravy--biscuits were not freshly baked--they buy them and instead of warm them by baking they cut them in half and put them on the grill--so they fall apart into crumbs if you try to butter them. Their sausage gravy is basically flour paste-- you would need a magnifying glass to find any morsels of sausage in it-- I would also say that waitperson had a problem understanding basic requests-- like --on the side. The eggs were fine. The fruit that was supposed to come with the meal was a little condiment cup with a grape and a small piece of melon--not at all appetizing. My advice--do better--serve fresh food--if you can't afford to put sausage in the gravy--take it off the menu--trust me, people would not miss a badly prepared dish! read more

I go here with family, the place is busy because overall pricing and quality is good. Always come home with leftovers. Always have had a friendly greeting and if I get there first they don't mind seating you a little early if there not packed. They're friendly about doing that. Meals have been consistently good and if there's a mistake such as an over cooked burger they offer to make it right, we had that happen last visit. We elected not to, and they comped us dessert, very nice of them. The menu has a lot of choices, from salads, chicken ribs, steaks and so on. You can bring a crowd here and everyone can find something. One of my favorites is their turkey dinner, it's good, You know when you're craving Thanksgiving and it June, this is your go to. You feel that your visit is important to them and they appreciate you're their and that you work hard for your money, just as hard as they do serving you. Mutual appreciation is a nice thing. read more

We stopped in on a Sunday morning for breakfast. We did not have to wait even though the restaurant was crowded. When we left around 11:15 there were several parties waiting for tables. There are booth and table options. Their menu has a lots of offerings. We had the frittata, scrambler and pancakes . The portions were large and included hash browns, toast or pancakes. The egg dishes were fluffy and moist. My only complaint was we each ordered coffee and getting refills was a challenge. Service was ok, but nothing outstanding and the restaurant is very loud and it can be hard to hear one another . read more

On April 1st, took myself out for dinner, (maybe a FOOLISH idea) and the establishment was not too busy. I asked to sit by a booth, window. After reviewing menu, I decided to splurge on a costly dinner. Figured half goes home to my daughter, she will have the pasta. So went with the Filet Mignon & the Fettuccini Alfredo. $30. I naturally asked what came with it. ( since it was not posted on the Menu). I was told my choice of Rice, Potatoe, Mashed or fries, as well as soup or salad. Also included was Vegs of the day which was Broccoli and Carrots. Being I have eaten here at least 50 times in my life, I was excited again about the good amount of food for $30. ( So I thought...) Needless to say, I was then told that it was mistake that no I would not get choice of starch, as I am getting the noodles. I said, Ok makes sense. I choose the salad and waited for my meal as I sipped on my $7 ( so I thought) glass of house wine, that I ordered. The Filet mignon/Pasta dish came out fast, and I was so looking forward to the protein! I noticed the Vegs were not brought out and I asked my server, where is it, to which she said, Oh Sorry you don't get the Vegs w/ this dinner. I mean, Wow, kinda double whammy for "Misinformation" & expressed kindly my "bummer-like" feelings. She then said, well I can bring out the Side of Veg but they will charge me $8, so... I'm thinking Ok Cool, charge me for YOUR error. Anyway, I said nope that's fine - I guess my small side salad is my "Vegetable". HAHA. She offered me Coleslaw, I said Sure, that works, No charge of course. I was asked about if I wanted more wine about 3xs, I declined nicely. She asked if I wanted dessert, I said "No thanks, I am short on time." I received the check and caught an error, I was charged $9 for the house wine. GRRRRRRRR! I made note and told her I pointed at the House wine $7, so please fix that. She agreed and was very apologetic and explained the system doesn't even have a $7 option, and so she will tell her Manager. So I got the adjusted bill & immediately slipped my CC in the pouch, leaving it on edge of table so she can see. She was at the booth next to me, casually chatting w/ a solo customer. I waited 10 minutes for her and gave up, took my check up to counter, paid, she got a $5 tip, Oh well, and I expressed to hostess, my disappointment on about 5 points. For an older woman server, she definitely is rusty w/ her knowledge of her job. Good food, just stay vigilante. :) read more

We arrived about 11am on a Saturday. The place was packed including the waiting area. Luckily we had a reservation and waited just 10 minutes or so before we were seated. The service was pretty speedy and no issues with drink refills. But our waitress didn't seem very familiar with the menu. Both French toast orders were incorrect. We ordered banana nut French toast ($9.89) and the Cafe Blossom French toast ($9.69) which includes banana nut, challah, and brioche breads. Both came out with just one type of regular bread. The order of banana nut had bananas on top but again the bread was not banana nut. She informed us after bringing it out that they were out of banana nut bread. So of course the Cafe Blossom sampler, which was listed as a menu favorite, did not come out with banana nut bread and had no fruit at all on top. Again the bread on both orders seemed to be regular, definitely not banana nut or challah possibly brioche. We sent the CB sampler back and it came out again with the same singltype of bread but this time it had three types of fruit on top and whipped cream on the side...better but still not as advertised. French toast, classic buttermilk pancakes (4) - $7.19, Belgium waffle - $7.29 are all served with sides of whipped butter and warm syrup. Sides are sold separately; jumbo sausage links or patties (3) - $4.59, turkey sausage patties - $5.19, thick cut bacon (3) - $5.29, two eggs - $3.69. One in our group ordered lunch and had the half rotisserie chicken with soup and two sides - $12.99. The chicken was excellent, moist and perfectly seasoned. Everything from the breakfast side tasted good. The pork sausage was not greasy which can sometimes be the case. Nice place to get breakfast or lunch. read more

My first time at the Blossom Cafe and it was worth the trip. I liked the atmosphere right away, the hostess greeted us with a smile. I like the music right away I would describe it as smooth jazz at just the right volume level. It's too bad other restaurant owners don't take a hint and put on the right music and volume. We were waited on right away and I ordered coffee which was good and fresh, the "Irish Bennie" which is an English Muffin topped with Corned Beef Hash topped Hollandaise Sauce with Hash Browns, and a good-sized fruit cup. My friend ordered the Cafe Blossom French Toast which had three types of French Toast topped with Bananas drizzled with Pecans and Strawberries on Brioche topped with Blueberries. Check out their menu online. They have a huge selection of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also have an outdoor patio. They'll seat you right away even with an almost filled restaurant. read more
