    Finally sat down at The Original Pancake House again. I went for a quick breakfast date with my boyfriend, and as always, it did not disappoint! The staff was super friendly and the food came out so fast. I order takeout from here all the time because it's always so delicious. My go to is the chicken and andouille sausage skillet.. always cooked to flavorful perfection ...and of course, the pancakes divine! Fluffy, buttery, just the best. Even when I get it to go, the portions are huge and so satisfying. My boyfriend doesn't play about his food and even he leaves full! This location is simple and a little dated inside, but honestly, the food and service make up for it completely. Great prices, great food, great service...can't ask for more.

    I had the Dutch baby here a decade ago but could not remember how it tasted and I'm happy to report that on my recent visit, this dish was delightful and so yummy and light and fluffy. I highly recommend - it takes a little longer to make but it's worth the (not unreasonable) wait. My friend got one of their regular breakfast items off the menu and I enjoyed that too. All in all, a solid breakfast place in the neighborhood for those in the mood for a diner / diner-adjacent vibe.

    Came here on a rainy Saturday morning & it was one of the first times there wasn't a huge line. I was able to snag a table for three as soon as we arrived. Seated in a booth, I was surprised I had to ask for a coloring sheet for a child & also they don't have a kids menu, or at least we weren't offered one. I ordered a steak skillet & chocolate chip pancakes for the kiddo. My steak skillet came out hot and packed to the top. I thought the potatoes in the skillet were a bit mushy. Otherwise everything was fine.

    If there was any breakfast place you could call a classic, it would be this one. I've been coming to The Original Pancake House since I was a child and they're still cranking out the delicious breakfast food I remember. My go-to is the Blueberry pancakes. They don't skimp on the blueberries at all. They come mixed into the pancakes and they give you this amazing blueberry compote go go with it. The service is always amazing and FAST! Even on a busy morning you won't wait long for your breakfast. The overall vibe of this restaurant is that of your classic no frills breakfast spot that never fails to satisfy.

    We LOVED the Original Pancake House in Beverly!! The food was delicious - high quality and fresh ingredients. I was tempted to order the Apple or Dutch pancakes but was scared off by the calories listed on the menu hahaha. The omelets are oven baked and quite large. I ate half and took the rest home and shared my buttery pancakes with my husband. He ordered the Mexican skillet and really enjoyed it - a good kick from the jalapeños. We visited the diner around 130pm last Sunday. It was pretty busy at that time but we were seated right away. It was a comfortable atmosphere with tables and booths. We love booths but since it was busy, only tables were available. Our server was helpful and prompt with getting our order. We would definitely go back when visiting Beverly!

    Decent is the word that comes to mind for this experience. The food was just ok, the service was bare minimum, but our server was young. It's unfortunate when you have to keep lookin for your server. We were not offered refills, napkins... the essential needs when eating. Our tables order did come out correct, except one persons order in our group. Kudos on our server maintaining a group of about 14. But she didn't really check on us and she was pretty slow. The food was ok.

    Not a huge fan of their food but it was nearby and I decided to try it again. Upon entering no formal greeting but was seated within a minute. Great music playing. The decor is boring, dated, stale. The menu was sticky. The server Omar was nice, friendly. Coffee is average. I ordered the Egg white scrambler - it was ok, no frills. Pancakes were good, of course they should be hence their name. U can tell they need a detailed cleaning, dust on bottom of chairs. The washroom was updated, clean. The cashier was blah - no asking how was your meal, he didn't care. Would I be back here? No, will try a suburban location just to compare.

    Egg White Garden Scrambler. Bacon Lover's, and hash browns. All Excellent.

    If you're eating in the restaurant, be prepared for a wait (either short or long). But the food experience is worth it. I've been in Hyde Park for 35 plus years, and I've always been a fan of this restaurant. I ALWAYS get the exact same dish for me, but that's me and my tastes. I LOVE the egg white garden scrambler. Even as an egg white dish, it has enough heft and substance based on all of the vegetables added to the dish (and the pancakes I always order with it) that it's totally satisfying. Always. My daughter most recently had a bacon lover's meal with she and I sharing the bacon. The bacon is cooked a little harder than I'd typically do it at home, but it was still really good. The pancakes are the real reason to go here however. They are so excellent every time, and they can serve as a de facto dessert if you're going later in tehj morning or in the early afternoon. The staff is really quick (sometimes maybe too quick and brusque), but they are used to serving a lot of folks (especially on weekends). So they'll get you in and out of there (and reduce your waiting time) if they can or need to. A local institution at this point that deserves to stay around for as long as possible.

    Love, love, love it! There's ample parking outside. We walked in and were immediately greeted with a smile. We were asked if we preferred a table or booth! That's a small 5-star service detail that rarely happens anymore. THE FOOD IS AMAZING!!! Perfectly seasoned! The pancakes were soft. The coffee tastes fresh! I can't say enough about this business - Other than that I highly recommend them. Can't wait to go back later this week!

    Southwestern Skillet
    Naiima D.

    I remember when the original (pun not intended but it works lol) location was in a mall where Whole Foods now sits. Now they are on 47th and Lake Park. I have been here several times! The food is consistently hot, fresh and fast! The waitresses are always nice too! The bathrooms are always nice and clean! This time I got southwestern skillet. It can easily serve two people in imo! It came with potatoes, spicy chorizo sausage, onions, jalapeño peppers, tomatoes, pepper jack cheese. Served with a side of salsa. Pancakes came with it. Delicious!!!!!!!!! There is a parking lot that you can park in too. It does get crowded.

    A beautiful, eclectic coffee house just outside of Chinatown, La Malinche was the perfect place for…read morea casual late breakfast. With a cozy locals vibe, there was a mix of young professionals on laptops and families starting the morning. The bright aesethics of Mexican heritage and decor celebrating local artists make the space inspiring and energizing. The coffee was great. I got the horchata latte, which tasted even better than I hoped. I also ordered a El Chavo Torta, a deceptively simple sandwich that was incredibly delicious. I don't know what they put in the bread or what magical place they bought the cheese from, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it. When I'm in Chicago again, La Malinche is on my list of must visit spots.

    Stopped by La Malinche Coffee & Tea House in Pilsen to try something new. Place is nice and quiet…read more Bright pink walls, little decorative hearts, alebrijes all around and full piano in the room. Felt cozy right away. The staff were really welcoming, for an early morning. I got the hot chocolate. Honestly that's exactly what I needed that morning. It had that real Mexican chocolate taste. Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot.

    Not sure why I had not reviewed this soot earlier, I come here often, in fact I'm here right now…read more Great spot! Set in an old warehouse that is now an art gallery event space and restaurant nestled in an older warehouse district in Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. Beautiful decor and laid out perfectly. The natural wood floors furniture ie tables chairs etc and iron work throughout sets the ambiance for old meets new. It works. The wide spacing between tables makes for a comfortable dining experience. So many folks come in to do their work and dine here. What a super addition to the neighborhood that less than a decade ago was essentially a street that was more a run down semi-truck alley. Great menu with neighborhood favorites leaning toward the old school Italian dishes. Sandwiches, soups, salads, and breakfasts just to name a few are all excellent. The pastries are insane and a must take home deal. I love the American Breakfast. Three eggs your way, thick diced America potatoes, thick cut bacon, and sourdough toast. Accompanied by what I believe to be home made jelly and for sure homemade gardiniera. Caruso's gardiniera actually. Diced into a relish unlike most standard gardiniera it's easier to eat with many dishes. Excellent flavor and just the right kick to it. FYI Dolce Arte also sells a to go line of homemade Caruso products from their gardiniera to past and past sauces and more. Yes, their coffee is really good too. Lavazza products I believe. The service is always on point. Casual but on point. Very friendly staff from diverse backgrounds. This is the place you bring people close to you, business lunches, meetings, formal ir informal, or like me, save it for myself as my own getaway spot. It's an artists dream and sets a positive time for any gathering.
