    Short of it: Decent place, but had average food with a little too high of a price tag The place was very nice on the inside and had wonderful service. However, the food was pretty average. We got the Texas Skillet, Mexican Skillet, and Banana Foster Pancakes. The Mexican skillet was definitely the best item! The hash browns weren't crispy, which I was disappointed by. I was also disappointed by the pancakes. The Banana Foster Pancakes were nothing more than regular pancakes with syrup, a 1/4 of a banana and a couple pecans. The prices are a little too high for the taste and experience. Might go back to try other items, however I was overall underwhelmed.

    We loved this place! My parents took us here for breakfast and it was AMAZING! Great service and food came out fast. I ordered the Texas skillet with red velvet pancakes. It was so so good — lots of steak and very flavorful skillet! The pancakes were also amazing and not too sweet. Everyone enjoyed their food! My daughter got the Mickey Mouse pancakes and loved them. Great place for a great breakfast!

    I completely forgot to take a proper picture when the food came out. We all got different types of skillets and everybody was happy with their meal. The portion sizes are large. I seldom have the need for a To go box. I definitely have another full breakfast with what I wasn't able to eat the first time around. It's crazy that I grew up In the area and this is the first time I tried this place. I'll be back!

    The food was delicious with generous portions and the price was reasonable. The place is clean and the atmosphere was nice with a friendly staff. We had excellent service from Antonia who helped us. Also bring your entire party inside or else they won’t seat you until everyone is present.

    What a nice surprise in the middle of nowhere. Two hours or so from Green Bay and Appleton, Wisconsin. Food was phenomenal. They offered gluten free waffles and pancakes!🙂 I was driving 14hrs and this was the best treat of the trip. I stopped twice. On the first stop they forgot my hash browns. On the second stop they gave me turkey sausage links instead of the pork patties I ordered. Food was so good it was easy to forgive. Sunday on my drive back the restaurant was packed to the door. If I lived in the area I would eat there often.

    Amazing spot in Gurnee to meet with friends for a delicious breakfast. The restaurant is modernly decorated and inviting. The orange juice is fresh squeezed and hands down the best! Service was exceptional. I ordered the Crab Benny and the crab cakes were perfectly crunchy! My husband ordered the Red Velvet pancakes and said they were good! Our kiddo loves the Mickey Mouse pancakes and fruit. Definitely a great place to stop for a sit down breakfast.

    We recently stopped for a bite to eat and were very impressed. The service was excellent, food was delicious and fresh. They have some really unique, creative breakfast dishes. This is much better than your run of the mill breakfast joint. The corned beef benny was a tasty dish.

    Ok so my Husband and I went here as a nice breakfast for our 16 year Anniversary and they were amazing! I had the Corned beef hash and eggs benedict and he had the biscuits and gravy and we both shared some Blintz and Waffle, the food here is in point and delicious! Be prepared to leave here fully stuffed and satisfied! We look forward to coming back again whenever we're in town, thank you for a wonderful experience.

    An amazing breakfast experience! The restaurant is very clean with modern farmhouse theme. The staff are friendly and efficient, which was a big plus on a busy Saturday morning. The prices are very reasonable, especially for the size and quality of the offerings. I had a Texas skillet, which tasted fantastic. I wasn't sure I was going to finish but I wanted to try the pancakes. Even those the are just a side to the meal, even those were prepared wonderfully and tasted divine. So was their homemade chicken noodle soup. Would definitely come back again!

    YUM! Chewy pancakes 🥞 We ordered Mexican skillet and country fried steak. All were tasty. My husband also loved homemade corn beef hash! A bit pricy but it’s worth the price. Service was very good too, we felt welcomed. Don’t forget to ask for a whipping cream if you order pancakes!

    We had a wonderful experience at this pancake house! We got there and it was full, we ordered and we thought we would have to wait long for our food, but it was super fast. The food was delicious, very big portions and the prices are fair. We randomly picked this place for breakfast because it’s close to Six Flags, but it was a great decision as what we ate kept us full until dinner.

    What a great surprise! Not in a shopping center, the place is packed! Happy noise! Each table and both is cleaned, including each condiment jar and bottle after each customer! Every staff member we meet welcomed us with eye contact and a smile. In top of that, our breakfast was fantastic! Coffee is a bottomless cup (I'm addicted to coffee), smooth and flavorful. The menu is extensive. Best of all, Fernando , or server is the best.

    A nice find for some breakfast in the Lake County area! They have a wide menu with plenty if options! It was honestly tough to decide on one. Staff and management were very friendly and welcoming. We were seated and served at an average wait time. Parking lot is fairly large but beware it can be an issue during busy mornings. Certainly a great spot to have breakfast or brunch and will certainly be coming back.

    This place was such a pleasant surprise. We were staying out at a cabin in Antioch and on our way back happened to come across this place. It must be a local gem cause it was super busy. Nice breakfast joint environment with super fast service. Everyone enjoyed their dishes and honestly I was in love with my Chilaquiles. Amazing flavors and textures and I wouldn't leave without adding in a glass of the fresh squeezed orange juice. This is out out of my way but if I was in the area there is no doubt i would come here again.

    Absolutely delightful experience! We thoroughly enjoyed a Spanish omelet and the crab cake Benedict in the outdoor seating area. The food was delicious, hot, and served quickly despite the Sunday morning crowd filling the restaurant to capacity. The omelet was stuffed with chorizo, cheese, onions, and avocado, it would have had jalapeños but I asked for those to be excluded. The chorizo was the perfect level of spice and was brightened by the fresh Pico and smoothed out by the sour cream. The crab cakes were crispy, the eggs were perfectly cooked and the creamy rich and slightly spicy hollandaise created the temptation to lick the plate! The fresh fruit was cold and crisp and made the perfect accompaniment to the rich flavors. Not sure when we'll be passing through again but we would keep a look out for this gem of a breakfast spot when we do! By the size of the crowd it's clear the locals know this place is where it's at, but if you haven't checked it out yet, it's worth the quick diversion from the highway.

    The portions were a lot larger than expected, I have enough food for lunch and dinner. Wasn't too busy which I'm sure is due to it being the day after Thanksgiving. Fresh OJ was delicious and we highly recommend trying. Everything was really good, we will definitely be back!

    Went for the first time, and I enjoyed it! I ordered the Texas skillet and was really good, I finished it all, it came with a side and had the red velvet pancakes because it's a popular item, but they were a little too dry for my taste, don't know if they use real maple syrup for their pancakes, forgot to ask. It wasn't too crowded when I arrived because I came early, around 8AM, so I was sitted right away but more people were coming as time passed, so that's one thing to consider. Service was great by bilingual staff. Overall, I highly recommend this place.

    Nice quality of food, fresh ingredients. Steak cooked at perfect temperature. Plain pancakes weren’t not my favorite, the batter was too dry and thick for me.
