L KAugust 9, 2014Jinni a great server! For the kids, try the Grand Treat. Also the apple pancake is great to split.
Sofia CaseJanuary 13, 2020You can’t go wrong with sausage patties, 2 sunny side-up eggs and a stack of hotcakes. Perfect diner breakfast ♥️🥞🍳☕️- Eddie ReevesNovember 17, 2018If you ever have an opportunity to dine here, bring your appetite. Make sure that you get the Apple Pancake, it definitely is a must!
Order either the French crepes or the Santa Fe omelette --- I can never decide, but both are delicious (my friend swears by the Challah French Toast).Upvoted Mar 24
David PilgrimAugust 11, 2013After initial confusion on how seating works...everything was fine. Delicious food and waitstaff however the ladies at the registers are more short with customers. You've been warned
Angus RobertsonJuly 15, 2012The Original and still the best. Patrick has been making the best apple pancakes since 1976. Try the Dutch garden and baked omelets as well.
Ninah RandolphAugust 9, 2015The apole pancake is really good. Also the basted eggs with ham. Gets really really busy in Sundays
CarolNovember 26, 2014Come early on the weekends, the lines go out the door! Get the challah French toast and the bacon!!
Everyone here is spot on except for one thing - it is also the best corned beef hash!
Lauren AguilarJune 30, 2015Fluffiest omelets ever!! Try the Santa Fe for a spicy kick (substitute cheddar cheese to tone it down)
Andy FlammApril 29, 2021I've been coming here all my life but never noticed how beautiful the place is until now.
TKGOOctober 17, 2010The Baby German Pancake is my fave. Squeeze lemon on it instead of syrup for a fluffy, less sweet brunch option!
Time Out Chicago KidsMarch 21, 2012The way North Shore families flock here, those legendary apple pancakes have to be stuffed with something more than fruit and cinnamon. Read more
Lisa WieczorekMarch 31, 2014Their omelette is delicious! They also have fresh squeezed orange juice.
Crispy Crunchy French Toast, amazing bacon, fresh squeezed OJ
Love this place. Get there early. The coffee sucks but the food is great.

Keren GomezMarch 22Oh my goodness the biggest Dutch baby ever! Actually it’s a German pancake 🥞 🧈 🍋 🥓 ☕️
Have the hash browns, however you like them. Add eggs. It's a meal.
The habanero hashbrowns are my favorite! Fast service!
Trisha StaytonMarch 1, 2012Try the chipotle chicken crepe. Get applesauce for the potato pancakes. It's a nice balance to the spice.
- Mindi RosserJanuary 21, 2012I recommend their buttermilk pancakes - make sure you have a big appetite. :)
The line goes out the door at noon on sat/sun. Come an hour earlier or later. The line moves quick for 2 people though.
You can use your gift certificates from the Spring Fling here.
Tricia LeeNovember 3, 2013This location is head and shoulders over the rest. The A team is clearly staffed here!
Felix BanuchiNovember 2, 2009bring your eat on to this amazing place...make sure to eat the Apple pancake, German pancake, potatoe pancakes, and 49er flapjacks!!
I recommend ordering the hashbrowns well-done. That way they come nice and brown and crispy.
