I was greeted kindly at the door. The server could have smiled just once but we all have a bad day from time to time. Eggs shouldn't have shells in them. But the waffle was to die for. I'd recommend them to all pancake house lovers.

It was a full house. I remember the food tasting good, especially the fried green tomatoes. The dessert was just meh but we found out that they came from an outside distributor so I can't put how the dessert was on them. The second time, my sister and I came to celebrate her birthday and came right when they opened which was nice. We had a nice comfy booth to sit in, wonderful waitress, she was attentive, funny and just really great. We started off with the soup of the day which was creamy chicken with rice which was hearty, creamy, good flavor and delicious. I got a bowl and took alot of that home. I got for my meal the shrimp and grits and got it mild as far as spice but it was still a bit too spicy for my taste. It was a huge portion, I worked on that for a few days. My sister got an omelette with sausage patties and hash browns. She really enjoyed her meal and the portions were big for that entree also. All in all, a good experience. They are located in Matteson, IL, a southwest suburb. Thanks Hidden Manna.

Doesn't appear to be very busy, but there's no one to take us to a table. Ultimately the employee that was already off took us to the table. It was a little while before the server came to greet us, but she was nice. The menu had a range of options , but I'd say the food was just ok. They didn't have some of the items we wanted, so that was disappointing.Probably won't return.

Try this place out on a random Saturday morning. First, let me say that it is hard to find as the…read morebuilding looks like some type of converted commercial construction warehouse space prior. It has very low ceilings very few windows and from the street. There's only one large sign to see it. Even on the building itself there are no signs on it not even on the door. Parking here is a little unusual as there is some parking in the front that I think you can park in that is shared with the florist. Otherwise, you have to drive to the back to the very construction looking area to find parking. Once in let me say that the staff was very friendly there was quite a bit of them, and we were seated immediately. Unfortunately, again going back that I think this used to be some type of a commercial space converted. The bathroom door is open directly into the dining space and there is no separate hallway for it. We were seated in the very last booth closest to the restrooms. The staff was very friendly, patient and attentive, so this was fantastic. There is a sign that says that this is family run by the Barrera family. And it's so great to know that we can patronize a small business. The food came out very very quickly, which was fantastic so no complaints there and it came out piping hot, which is even better. The portions seem really big however please note that the hashbrowns alone took up half the plate. So it would have been nice to get a third option available on the menu to put with your dish for the plate for example of fruit option even for my Benedict or a fruit option or another vegetable or carb for that omelette. There was so much food that we took some of it home as well primarily due to the hashbrowns. The only real complaint is the coffee here. It is so thin and it is basically brown colored water that after this we went across the street to Starbucks to get real coffee. I know this place is new and is definitely trying to get its footing so I look forward to it succeeding and then being able to really improve upon the space or better yet get a better building and location.

This is one of my favorite places for brunch. I love that they open early, and they have some really good cocktails. Their Bloody Marys are a favorite of mine, and during my last visit I tried a lavender cocktail that was absolutely delicious. The food never disappoints. I usually go for something hearty, like a breakfast burger topped with an egg and all the fixings, and their monkey bread is SO good and definitely worth trying. The service has always been great. Food and drinks come out quickly, the staff is attentive, and I've never felt rushed. I also really enjoy the atmosphere because you can actually sit and have a conversation. Whether you're meeting friends for brunch, going on a casual date, or even enjoying brunch by yourself, The Harvest Room is a great choice. After multiple visits over the years, they've been consistently good, and I'll definitely keep coming back.
