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

French onion Soup
Briana L.

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.

Athenian Omelette with hashbrowns and Greek toast
Kimberly V.

Found this place on a google search for lunch before heading back home to Kentucky. From the second we walked in, the staff were all very kind and attentive! Our server was Kristina and she was fabulous, and just the sweetest girl. We had the Saganaki for an appetizer, neither of us have ever heard of it before, and boy we were not disappointed. It was wonderful! Full of flavor and when you use the warm bread with it... out of this world! I had the Athenian omelet with Greek toast and a side of bacon. Absolutely phenomenal. Hubs had the Border Skillet with pancakes and said it was delicious too! I'm so glad we found this place! It was the perfect ending to our weekend getaway!

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!

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.

The folks ... dinning @ Blossom Cafe

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.

Monti Cristo
ILona B.

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.

Moldy butter

We ordered takeout and were disappointed with the experience. The butter that came with the order appeared to have mold on it, and no utensils were included. This raised concerns about food quality and attention to detail. I hope management looks into this issue. I am giving 2 stars instead of 1 only because the staff was polite. Every time I visited before, I felt comfortable there. Unfortunately, that is not enough for me to come back again.

Chicken parmigiana, chocolate shake, bread and salad
Chris C.

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.

We went on a Saturday for late breakfast and was trying to determine what we wanted from all the options. I ordered the corned beef hash (CBH) skillet and a side of pancakes. A country fried steak (CFS) was also ordered on the table, with a side of toast. The CBH was homemade, not from the can. You can see it and taste it. It was very delicious, well made, and wonderfully seasoned. The CFS was covered in sausage gravy, sitting on a bed of hashbrowns and eggs on top. I was told it was delicious. We ordered coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice to drink. The coffee was great. The orange juice had a taste that I wasn't accustomed to, which is odd because I love fresh squeezed juices. Service was attentative and our server was nice. Everyone ensured we were ok and our coffee mugs were full. Glad I went to Elly's. It's one of my favorite places to go.

Amazing Food, A1 Service & a Wonderful Birthday Celebration!…read more We had another amazing experience at Elly's Brunch & Cafe on Cumberland Ave. We were also there celebrating my wife Yesenia's birthday, and the staff helped make the occasion even more special. The food was absolutely amazing--fresh, delicious, and everything came out perfectly. The entire staff is always friendly, welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable. I especially want to give a big shout-out to our waiter, Victor, for his outstanding service and for taking such great care of us. I also want to recognize Garcia and Sergio, the busboys, who are always hardworking, attentive, and make sure everything is taken care of. Every time we come here, Victor, Garcia, Sergio, and the entire staff make us feel like family. They always welcome us with a great attitude and provide A1 service from beginning to end. Thank you for helping make Yesenia's birthday celebration such a wonderful experience! Great food, great atmosphere, and an incredible staff. We will definitely continue coming back and highly recommend Elly's to anyone looking for a great breakfast or brunch experience!

It was crowded but enough to hear you talk. The ambiance was with in level. Only concern was that the manager on our take he was kinda of rude snf maybe upset that he has to accommodate 24 people??. His approach to us rude. They dont accept reservations thats fine , we understand. Thats why all 24 of us came on time so we can be seated as it gets croweded on weekends. He came on too strong stating I can't seat all of you together we dont have enough space???. Which is fine but we requested if we can be in the same zone at least. He said thats also impossible. But one of his staff offered the covered patio if it ok. As i saw there were empty tables on that end. We agreed as we didnt mind if we are seated separately but as long as were close. That was the point of us having a get together as we can as we dont see each other often. We've been friends for 35yrs and counting and our family is growing. He as a manager should know how to handle this situation or his should not be rude. Remember You have more then 10 paying customers. And their word of mouth is important. A few of those customers are a food critic. In most breakfast cafes we go to, to get together, managers will always go out of their way to accomodate and we appreciate that. I feel , they just dont want to pull the tables together and have to pull them apart after. Its quite a big task. I guess they have not experience having 24 people all at once. Its a learning curve. At least the servers were ok and attentive. Service was fast and overall food rating is A+

It's an old school diner feel - box cereal, pies in a cooler, cooks busting out great meal after meal. Takes you right back to the 90's. My first time here and brought my parents. We all loved it. Dined for $115 with tip and we all had an omelette with a protein, side of bacon, and coffees. I got the Spartan omelette. It was recommended and right up my alley with mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, and feta cheese. I also added bacon and it was delicious! I was able to get it with a cut banana and it was perfectly ripe. My husband got the Denver omelette which is also know as a Western- ham, onion, bell pepper, and American cheese. He really liked his as well as my parents who ordered Corned Beef Hash omelette and Spartan. I will definitely be back! It was so good, we didn't even take a second to snap a pic!

We order eggs Benedict and the Mac wrap. They are out in less than 10 minutes. I give her and the cook props for the timing and the cook jokes, "all out of a microwave." HA! We knew that was not true. Looking at the menu, the ham off the bone looks like their specialty so we both were sure to get meals with that! We split the burrito and the Benedict. Both were lacking salt in my opinion but I understand under salting for the masses so us salt lovers can add our own with reckless abandon. Please note this is CASH ONLY! Which I missed despite the sign in the front. They do have an ATM with $2.75 fee. Pricing for the food did seem steep for a diner but it's 2025 and nothing is cheap. The food came out so fast I didn't get pics besides the rest of my burrito I ate at home.

Just us, a quiet room, and a whole lot of good energy. Every server working that morning was incredibly friendly and attentive. Maybe it was because we were the only ones there. Maybe it was the Christmas spirit. Maybe a perfect mix of both. Whatever it was, it turned a simple brunch into a genuinely lovely experience. And the food? As always, excellent and abundant, comforting, generous, and exactly what you want when you're settling into a holiday mood. Sometimes it's not just about what's on the plate, but how a place makes you feel. That morning, Eggsperience felt warm, welcoming, and just right.

The service took a long time, also to begin with just to get a decaf coffee and a tequila sunrise that looked terrible, NOTHING LIKE THE PICTURE that gets displayed on the table. Then I ordered my breakfast with my eggs poached. The food took forever to arrive, and my eggs were fried. I made the waitress aware of it and she said that she would get them replaced. By time she got around to remembering my eggs I was at a point that I had eaten the rest of my breakfast and some of the whites of the fried eggs since I was hungry. She said that we're almost ready. Really?! Then she added that she would get them ready to go instead and not charge me. Who cares at that point? A few minutes later, some other waitress brings the eggs to the table on a plate with the doily to eat at the table. I am one of those people that are very patient, but I've had it at that point and asked for the check. I just threw the coach X into the to go boxes that a different waitress had gotten for me. I am even mad at myself for tipping decently. I'm never going back to this location and I don't know why I did. The one on Irving Park by six corners is 10 times better and closer to home. I just wanted to go for a little drive with my son on that day. Lo and behold, a friend of mine actually told me that a person that lived around at Elmwood Park one distinctly told about the bad service there. Horrible!
