    We were 4 people and glad to arrive early. Very busy with 20 minute wait list. Once you start eating you realize why. Food was fresh and delicious. There is a large selection of meals to chose from. All our meals were very good and service was excellent. We will be back. Please check out the pictures associated with this review.

    First visit on 4-18-2022. We all loved the atmosphere, service and food. Very clean restaurant. Our group ate a Reuben, Brunch Chicken Sandwich and a Cobb Salad. All we're delicious! Be sure to order a side dish of she crab soup!

    Had a family baby shower for my daughter Sarah and her husband, Nick. Manager was so welcoming and professional. Staff was kind, competent and fun! Food was delicious, plated so beautifully and came out in a short period of time. It was busy but we were well taken care of. Clean, good atmosphere and bright and sunny! You won’t be disappointed meeting, eating and spending time with friends and loved ones.

    Fantastic menu, knowledgeable and friendly staff and a very cool vibe!!! I tried a couple different dishes over 3 days in the area. My family was thrilled with their dishes too.

    Really great food, quick service and positive experience! Thought we might have to wait since it was Sunday at noon, but got a table 7 with no issues. The cream of chicken rice soup was excellent and I enjoyed the chicken wrap a lot! Would happily return.

    My family loves Brunch! My parents are regular visitors after mass on Sundays, We've had large family gatherings for breakfast there many times. They have been able to accommodate a large group with a days notice. I would have to say the best part of Brunch is the staff. Everyone makes you feel very welcome, even if it us super busy. All of them are super friendly and happy to help you with whatever you need. Our favorite waitress is Marisol! We tease my dad that she is his girlfriend. We have come to know a lot of the staff over the years and they make us feel like family. The menu is very extensive and sometimes hard to chose what to get. You can get anything on the menu any time of the day. I have tried a good portion of breakfast and lunch and have never been disappointed.

    Wow this place was amazing. The food was delicious. Loved that there were lots of options for gluten free. Marisol was a wonderful and attentive server even though they were totally slammed being a Sunday morning. Food was served hot, fresh, and in a very reasonable time. Thank you for your great values and product!

    Delicious food, plenty of variety for everyone, and servers who are personable and engaging. A pleasant dining experience with large portions. Love their skillets and omelets.

    From start to finish this was a very pleasurable breakfast visit. We were seated quickly-No waiting and our server was quick to ensure we had menus, answer any questions, and provide us with our choice of beverage( we opted for juice with the meal as neither of us drink coffee). Our food came quickly, generous portions, cooked how we asked, and we felt no need to rush and we're told to stay as long as we liked after meal completion. I would definitely go back again. I wish they offered a smaller meal choice(or maybe I didn't see it and I didn't ask). I don't eat as much as I did in my younger days, but still want to treat myself to bacon, eggs and potatoes.... just not as large a portion. Healthier options are available, but not smaller portions of the decadent, artey- clogging delights! Price was on target for what Is expect.

    Service was fast and accommodating! Typical breakfast menu with some nice twists. Tons of specialty pancakes - stuffed potato pancakes are a must try! Fair prices and good portion sizes. Appreciate that they use the "Nowait" app!

  • 5/5 Jeffrey W. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was amazing! Ample servings, excellent service and very friendly/helpful/pleasant staff! A highly recommend!

  • 4/5 James P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service and food came quickly. Would rate 5 stars but the style of potatoes served as cubes in your skillets and with your meal was not what im used to, though I believe the potatoes should be cooked to a slight crisp rather than slightly done. Pancakes were good for being plain, other than that I'm interested in trying out the other dishes, but not worth the 45 minute drive.

  • 5/5 Robert G. 4 years ago on Google
    If you walk into the Brunch Cafe and see a lot of people waiting for a table, don't worry. This great restaurant really moves people through and does a great job in the process. You can choose from breakfast or lunch options. I have never had a bad meal. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Zechariah R. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent food, very nice employees, always excellent vibes. They charge convenient prices and the food quality is very good. Kudos.

  • 5/5 Sonia C. 4 years ago on Google
    The Ay Caramba Skillet was DELICIOUS, highly recommend!!

  • 2/5 Samantha S. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was very good and so was my Waitress. BUT manager (Samantha) Does a very poor job. She has a attitude problem.

  • 5/5 Matthew H. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a great experience! They were able to accommodate the dietary restrictions of members in our group with no hassle and no problems.

  • 5/5 Michael V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great brunch spot. My wife and I got a couple of salads. They were delicious and hit the spot on a hot day!

  • 5/5 Ryan C. 4 years ago on Google
    I absolutely love this place. Their menu offers so much variety. Try their Apple Gouda Sandwich! A-Mazing! Breakfast and Lunch only here, so take advantage of it. Perfect spot for clients, family or friends. Five Stars from @RyanCarneyRealtor

  • 5/5 Li X. 1 year ago on Google
    I am a business owner and deliver as side gig in the morning. I really appreciate the staff working there! Every time I have an order to pick up from there, they are very friendly, attentive, polite and very helpful! ( Not only the host/hostess, kitchen staff help me too!) Most of the time orders are hot and ready! I have been to few similar breakfast restaurants many times, some of them have staff see you and then ignore you or just start making orders when delivery person arrives but NEVER here. Although I have never dined here , with the this attitude shown, I am certain the food is amazing too! Sorry for my limited vocabularies. Wish I could say it and word it better to show my greatest appreciation!

  • 5/5 Laura M. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place!! not only is it convenient for me because it is across the street but the workers are super nice and I have NEVER had a problem with my food! well recommended place if you are new to the area or just want to stop and get a bite!!!

  • 3/5 Miss K. 1 year ago on Google
    Not really cooked and formed as typical folded omelette...I ordered the baked potato omelette. They should go back to the drawing board. I think egg loaf is more for fitting for this dish. Tastes okay for most part. Love the strawberry orange juice!

  • 5/5 Mary K. 1 year ago on Google
    I have never loved to go to the same place to eat over and over. My husband, and I, go to Brunch Cafe, a couple of times a week. The menu is out of this world! The food is scrumptious time after time. The waitstaff works together as a team. I have never encountered a rude person. I feel like family. I recommend Brunch Cafe to every one.

  • 5/5 Joe Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Had been to this place (at St Charles) and enjoyed the experience. The staff was courteous and the service was good (and quick). The food was so good that I did not have time to click it. One thing to be mentioned is the availability of parking space behind the Cafe. Overall a good experience.

  • 5/5 Elyse W. 11 months ago on Google
    What a great place for brunch! I ordered two eggs over medium; they were perfectly cooked. Came with hash browns (which you may order "crispy") and pancakes. Huge portions! Simply delicious. My husband ordered the garden omelette, also with hash browns and pancakes. Flavorful in every bite. The high ceilings and light colors make the space very airy feeling. It's a "live" space in acoustics, so sounds really carry. But it's happy sounds because everyone is having a good time. We had outstanding customer service from our server, Jessica. So friendly and personable, and got every detail right for our orders. Very affordable prices, too. We each had a full breakfast, coffee, and my husband had a large orange juice. Right at $36! We will be back!

    Jessica and Julia are gold star. ⭐️ Jess was our waitress and she went above and beyond. Very friendly very knowledgeable of the menu was able to substitute and offered different options. Creating an welcomed atmosphere. Thank you management for having this two amazing ladies working with you.

  • 5/5 Udoka Y. 1 year ago on Google
    The atmosphere was serene and nice. There were a lot of menu choices and the customer service was great. I had Turkey Burger with Sweet Potato Fries and it was good despite the fact that I got it without Tomatoes, Cheese or Mayo.

  • 5/5 Chuck K. 7 months ago on Google
    Great food at very reasonable prices. Being able to get breakfast or lunch through 2 pm was very convenient. Service was excellent both times. Would definitely go back the next time I'm in the area.

  • 4/5 British E. 8 months ago on Google
    Absolutely solid place which does classics correctly. Coffee is good and it's one of those places that actually offers espresso options. Service is great midweek is quiet and a real treat. Weekends are the usual brunch madness but they have a waiting list which is great

  • 5/5 Lina Z. 5 months ago on Google
    So delicious!!! My kids and I want to go back to try the whole menu!! The chilaquilles were AMAZING!! The california crepes were salty and sweet! And the country fried steak was so good he had to finish it all!!

  • 1/5 J.L O. 5 months ago on Google
    Wait wasn't long to get seated, but our waitress did not provide good customer service at all. We ordered coffee and iced tea, yet not once during our visit were we checked on or offered refills on our drinks. Coffee is especially one of those drinks that should constantly have someone going around and refilling. Secondly I ordered a panini sandwich that was so bland I tried salt, balsamic, and finally ketchup to give it some flavor. The waitress put in the wrong side dish for my meal but someone else delivered it and left before i could let him know my order was wrong. I flagged someone else down to get my correct side. As I stated, we never saw even 1 person walk around with coffee. I would have thought the Manager would do that so they could check in on their guests as they walked around refilling coffee cups. There needs to be a good training session for some of the waitstaff. It would benefit the restaurant and tips.

    Solid breakfast 👌!

  • 2/5 Christopher M. 3 years ago on Google
    I ordered a veggie skillet on 1/13/21 and there were a few pieces of bacon in it. Not enough to be a bacon skillet, but enough for me to pick out several pieces. Beware if you have special dietary restrictions.

  • 5/5 Andreika S. 3 years ago on Google
    I've been here numerous times. The service and food is always superb. My favorite is the banana nut bread French toast. OMG!!!

  • 5/5 Louie B. 3 years ago on Google
    I'm from Bloomingdale looking for a place to eat... Bottomless mimosas??? And the selection of food... If I could have two stomachs... I'd order EVERYTHING!!! The food was AMAZING!!! I'm definitely coming back!!! For the bottomless mimosas with my friends!!!! 😜😜

  • 5/5 L R. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was so good here, I was happily surprised. I also had a wonderful local tea, roasted almond. It was so delicious.

  • 1/5 Sra. G. 3 years ago on Google
    I ordered the corned beef hash and it was the worst thing I’ve ever eaten. It legit looked like I was eating raw hamburger meat or wet dog food. The server said other people had complaints about that same dish and that it came out of a can after the fact. The cubed potatoes were over frozen so very hard and chewy. My gluten-free toast was the worst I’ve ever had and had to pay extra for it to boot. I didn’t even eat it and the server didn’t even comment or ask how it was. The eggs were basic. Overall, unimpressed. Service was fine, just didn’t do much to improve my experience or warn me of the dish knowing others have sent it back as well. Corned beef you envision shredded or actual meat chunks. Most unappetizing meal of my life. The hostess was also not very friendly, but serious and cold.

  • 5/5 Matt E. 3 years ago on Google
    The staff was friendly, and the prices were reasonable. Despite the masks, you could tell you were being greeted with a smile. Not to mention, the food was delicious! I'd definitely go back.

  • 5/5 Bryan H. 3 years ago on Google
    Enjoyed a late morning breakfast with good friends. Was pleasantly surprised with the menu selection and the prices weren't terrible. My wife and I both had food leftover, so they bring plenty to the table. I had the brisket hash skillet. Different but good. Clean too. Our waitress Marisela too good care of us! Overall it was a great experience!

  • 5/5 María 3 years ago on Google
    Great environment, good quality food and ingredients and excellent costumer service skills. Marisol is always friendly and attentive. Strongly recommend for brunch and quick breakfast bites!

    Great steak skillet

  • 1/5 Brad H. 3 years ago on Google
    I know you cant please everyone, but this was the first weekend we attempted to go out and eat...As much as I like your restaurant, we will not be back until you inforce your mask policy, to ask a patron to "please wear a mask" is not what I would expect! So many people coming in and out without a mask on!

  • 5/5 David B. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely relaxed atmosphere, fantastic food, great service will definitely return

  • 3/5 Ryhah R. 3 years ago on Google
    Yummy food, but the outer seating was a bit small. Four of us sat at a normally 2 person table. Overall a 3 star review.

  • 5/5 Roger B. 3 years ago on Google
    Our server was great and our food was perfect. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

  • 5/5 Tanner S. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is an absolute gem. The food is amazing and it is the perfect brunch spot!

  • 5/5 Shawna J. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious...this place never disappoints. Food and drinks are delicious.

  • 5/5 Dan M. 3 years ago on Google
    This is a favorite spot for my wife and I. The breakfast menu and lunch menus are both great. They have mostly large portions that will leave you full. My wife and I usually start off by cutting our sandwich or wrap in half and save it for the next day. It's great how much value you get here. For breakfast the banana bread french toast is just amazing. It's a fantastic sweet breakfast. I highly recommend.
