It's a sin that I have lived a mile and a half from this restaurant and have taken so long to visit! Conveniently nestled in Grant Square near downtown Hinsdale, so there is ample parking. Run to Kramer or Walgreens after if you need to pick up some spare groceries etc. The coffee is brag-worthy. So is the lemon-rice soup! There's something cozy and un-pretentious about this breakfast joint. Reminds me of places I went to growing up. I felt at home here. The proximity to home, the good food, and the comfort make it all worth while. We will definitely return! read more

Decent spot for breakfast. Service was friendly by Rosy. Coffee was delicious. They have breakfast combos. Seating was spacious. They do charge service card for using credit card. read more

My husband and I just ate at Yia Yia's for the second weekend in a row and ate the exact same breakfast for each visit. Today, however was different. We suddenly were nickel-and-dimed for extras. They considered sausage links as a side dish instead of part of our breakfast order, which added an additional 50c each. Then they charged 25% tax. Standard tax is 10% in Berwyn/North Riverside area. On top of that, they insisted that we had to pay 18% assigned tip. They said it was written on the menu that we have to pay the assigned tip when the bill is over 50$. For an order that should've been 35$ as it was last week, we suddenly were charged $75 this week. So what happened? What changed? The worst part was when we calmly contested the bill in order to correct it, the manager came out, tossed the receipt at us with the menu, and threatened us to pay or he was going to call the police. For what? Asking for a correct bill, with correct and legal pricing? Needless to say, we will not return. We will not be treated like that. We will not be overcharged for tax and tip. And we will not put up with the insecurities of a manager who believes it's ok to treat his customers in a disrespectful manner. read more

So I decided to give them another try, although I said I was going to give them a break. They almost got everything right but sent me burnt sausage. The sasuage was so dry, it was inedible......A disappoionting follow up from the burnt omelette. read more

Yiayia's Café is my go-to spot every month. The staff are always so welcoming and even remember our favorite booth (love that). Their specials are constantly switching things up, so there's always something new to try, but I always come back to their avocado toast, it never misses. Cozy vibes, great food, and people who make you feel at home. 10/10 recommend. read more

I have a big appetite. Today is the 4th time I have eaten at Yiayia's and I have never been able to finish everything on my plate. I had the Corned Beef Hash and (3) eggs - along with fried potatoes and toast. My companion had a delicious looking chicken and avocado on a pita. She said that was what she usually gets and it is always superb. Laura was our waitress (outstanding!) Great food, fair prices, excellent service. We'll be back! read more

I ordered a veggie omelet, hash browns well done and pancakes. As you can see, my hash browns were not well done, and my omelet was not cooked thoroughly. Yuck. My friend ordered scrambled w cheese. Couldn't the cook (I use that word loosely) take a little pride and cook the order to order, or did the server not take our order down correctly? Can't Yia Yia purchase fresh deli cheese and not use cheese that individually wrapped. Gross!!! At least melt the cheese and make it at least look more appetizing for 45$$. We certainly won't be back. read more

Yia Yia's is the kind of breakfast spot where everyone will find something on the menu they like! They have a nice list of coffee beverages which I appreciate. But don't expect foam art;) The decor and food are just what you'd expect at a breakfast spot. We've always had awesome servers too, perhaps it's because you pay up at the front. That can be a bit of a crowd - people trying to pay, people trying to put their names on the wait list (there's rarely a wait list-the space is so big!) They keep things old school and haven't updated to the hand held "I'll check you out right now" devices. And while the business person in me WANTS them to update, it's also kinda nice to be at breakfast place where there's not a sense of urgency to get in/get out. They let you stay to sip your fancy coffee beverage:) read more

Came back to one of our favorite breakfast houses, we used to go to the one in Berwyn on Cermak and Harlem but this is closer to our home now . we also finally met Demitrius the owner small world. His father had the place in Berwyn. The Menu selection it's not as extensive as the one in Berwyn. Friendly, staff, nice cozy place . DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION read more

Great spot in downtown Hinsdale. Great food and incredible service. Manager talking to everyone - servers attentive - friendly checkout.

First time here at YiaYia and it will not be the last time. Was treated so kindly by everyone with a smile, even one of the managers came to my table and spoke with me. This was at the Hinsdale location. The food was so delicious and came out quickly, was cooked just right. I used a Groupon for this meal. Prices were great and the atmosphere very homelike, most definitely will return to this establishment again read more

I always have a great breakfast at Yia Yia's, Grant Square, Hinsdale! Everything is really good, every time!! Their omelets with pancakes are my favorite!!! I have the avocado toast with poached eggs was a real treat!! Yia Yia's is my favorite place!! The food is great and there is plenty of free parking!! read more

The pancakes are excellent the service is great and the wait time for food is not slow.

YiaYia's has an ample parking lot, it's clean and spacious inside, with efficient and friendly service, and a big enough menu with a lot of breakfast and lunch items to fit someone's brunch cravings. I came here on a Saturday around 10am and the place had a few tables occupied. Our server was on point. Foodwise, it was good but nothing to rave about. The BANANA BREAD FRENCH TOAST had more of the fried batter taste vs the banana bread itself. The fresh bananas drizzled in syrup were too sweet that they tend to overtake the french toasts at the bottom. For the other dish that I have tried, the HAM, POACHED EGGS and HASH BROWNS were all prepared from fresh ingredients and cooked well. There are other items on the menu that looked and sounded delicious so maybe next time I can try a sandwich or a meat skillet. I like how neat and convinient the place is, not to mention the good service I received that time, so I won't mind coming back:) read more

Best pancakes I've ever had!. They're advertised as "fluffy" but I found the chewey mouth feel uniquely special. And the silver dollar size was perfect for the kids. The chorizo in the bandito omlette wasn't that spicy or greasy. With plenty of cheese and avocado this selection was well worth the price. Even the maple syrup tastes specially authentic. and there was more than enough for all our meals. Their Avgolemono soup is perfectly seasoned, we had to take away a whole pint.. We ordered onlne, paid at the restaurant, and took 3 bags of food to go. As I was about to drive off the lovely hostess ran to my car with 3 cups of fresh squeezed oj, explaining that they came with our meals! very pleasant surprise, we're extremly appreciative of. read more

I love breakfast for lunch! Delicious omelets! Great service! Someone in my party got lunch for lunch and the Cobb salad looked delicious!

Enjoyed a nice breakfast with my family this morning. Service was a tad slow, but that's to be expected for a new restaurant opening. Kinks are still being worked out, but everyone we encountered was very friendly. Yia Yia's provides the standard breakfast/brunch/lunch/diner fare. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. Everyone at the table had something different from the various breakfast combos, french toast, to the omelettes, and of course pancakes! read more

We've been patronizing this restaurant since 2010 and the quality just goes down every year. Just stay away from strawberry lemonade is all I can say. If you are using 20$ value Groupon for your check that is less than 20$, they make it seem like they are doing a huge favor by taking it. They will also make you pay taxes apart from the Groupon value (never in my many years of Groupon use Have I ever seen that done). And from reading previous reviews I know there's no use pleasing logic with management so I forked over my spare change and ran away fast. I ended up paying more for the meal using this Groupon. I went just to use up the Groupon today but you won't ever see me here again. There are better brunch options around. Should have gone back to Beatrice. Dang you, Groupon. You got me good again. Ps. They didn't even give me a receipt. And hopefully not having one in my possession will erase all memories of this joint. The only saving grace of this place is location. Wish Beatrix was here instead. And I want to see how long it takes for this negative review to disappear. read more

Once I arrived, I was seated right away. They were fairly busy during the brunch hour. The waitress approached me right away and offered my drink options and their fairly large menu. They have a great selection for breakfast and lunch. I ordered eggs with tomatoes spinach and feta. There is a reason that people say "don't judge a book by its cover".... they don't have the best presentation when it comes to food, but the taste and quality is all that matters! The eggs were served fluffy and were fully of Flavor! I can't wait to come back and order the same thing! read more

This is the worst place I've ever been too for food. They brought me out burnt toast with my oatmeal and cinnamon apples from the day before and their coffee was so so strong I couldn't even drink it. The service was terrible I'm never going here again. read more

Hinsdale is now the home to Yia Yia's Pancake House second location. Located in a comfy shopping plaza with plenty of parking. As soon as you walk in you will notice a beautiful posh style decor. Not to worry I encountered no snobs during my visit. I sat at the counter top on an awesome retro bar stool with a killer cushion of comfort. I ordered a Top Notch Skillet with skirt steak, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, American & Swiss cheese. Service was quick around 1PM. I actually like the fact with an order of coffee you get the pot along with it (not that kind of pot silly). The skillet was delicious and the steak juicy and diced potatoes were spot on as well. One thing I sort of felt uncomfortable about was when my server drop the check off in front of me only having eaten a quarter of my skillet. I did feel rushed even though she mentioned no hurry. I wanted to order a fresh squeezed orange juice plus soup to go. Since the check was there I did not want to make an issue and go back and forth. This will not discourage me from a return visit. But I hope they would delay the check a bit until the end of my meal cause Yia Yia's lost out on more possible business from my visit. I plan on trying their lunch sandwiches next. Til next time :) read more
