Breakfast House Oak Park — straightforward brunch & breakfast in Forest Park. It wears its years well. Every plate is composed, not just assembled. Kandy55 faith: "the waffle was light n fluffy, the chicken was crispy, juicy, hot, and FULL of flavor"

“10/19/21 - back in town, we decided to try this place again (mainly because the place across the street (which we love) had a 45 minute wait) and ate here this morning”

“An awesome spot for any meal of the day.”
An awesome spot for any meal of the day. The breakfast is my favorite as its so fresh and it all tastes great. The service is great and they always keep your coffee refilled. Parking can be a bit tough, but it's not terrible.

The essential breakfast house that offers a fusion of the classic American breakfast cuisine and el desayuno mexicano delicioso. Those chilaquiles were stealing my eye. The french toast was satisfying to the taste and appearance. The yogurt parfait was impressive in size and nutritional value. This is the most breakfast house of all houses. Muchas gracias por la comida buenaza! Tengo que volver pronto! 💯/💯

AMAZING!! I’ve been looking forward to trying the Chilquiles and pancakes for awhile now, and was so glad that I did! The food was so delicious and the service was really great, too! The manager was walking around being very attentive trying to accommodate in any way possible. It was only me and my bf, to avoid having us wait a 45min wait (bc it does get very busy in the morning!) he offered two opened seat at the bar which were perfect! The waitress took our order promptly and our food didn’t take long considering how busy the place was. We got the Chilquiles with scrambled eggs, and hot chocolate which I would highly recommend, the supreme Chorizo Hash which my BF loved, it came along with a pancake, which was good and they also have: FRESHLY SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICE!! Everything was honestly delicious and I cannot wait to go back! Anyone who gives this place a bad review is probably not a person to trust.

I walked over on a Saturday around 1pm and was seated immediately. I ordered the buttermilk pancakes, eggs, bacon, and drip coffee. Everything came to the table hot and fairly quickly. Solid breakfast choice.

“This location does not serve alcohol for another few weeks so that was a bit disappointing.”
This location does not serve alcohol for another few weeks so that was a bit disappointing. Food was great and staff was friendly, place just felt a bit crowded. Not really suitable for large groups.

“They finally opened on Tuesday.”
They finally opened on Tuesday! We went around 1230pm (Saturday). Was seated right away. I believe all other tables were full. It was LOUD! Music was playing, but only heard that when patrons started clearing out. Lemon cream French toast, House burger comes with fries, potatoes, salad or fruit which were good options. Salad was a good size, basic green salad with cherry tomatoes n cucumbers. Burger was large and tasty. Blueberry compote was delish, which was on the lemon french toast plate. Great presentation! They will have their liquor license in 2 weeks. I guess byob for now...although when I asked, the gentleman was unsure. Server had tables all over the place, but for the most part, all staff was pretty attentive. Welcome to Oak Park!!

“The breakfast burrito was pretty good.”
The breakfast burrito was pretty good. I didn't get much smokiness from the guajillo sauce, and it was pretty bland. However it was well stuffed and was large enough to keep you full for awhile. The egg whites were nice and fluffy. The house potatoes are a nice change from other breakfast joints and they had good flavor and were fork tender. The service was pretty lacking though. It was a pretty empty dining room and it took forever to get drinks ordered and it took a long time before the food came. This spot is pretty low on my list of breakfast spots that I'd visit in the future.

“Noticed that it finally opened and wanted to give it a try.”
Noticed that it finally opened and wanted to give it a try. First impressions were that they brighten it up,and more tables than booths. Seated right away and offered water right away. Then it was no longer a nice visit. Ordered ice coffee's and took awhile. Then a person came over to find out how we were doing and he went to find out about were the coffee's were, and never came back. We even asked 3 times for a glass of ice, the person never came back with ice came back awhile later with a glass of water no ice. Asked the server how hard is it to get a glass of ice(she made an excuse) and when we finally got the ice it was as if we asked for a million dollars. After that they all(STAFF) stood behind the counter and ignored us(our table) and talked Spanish probably about us. Either way it took waving hands to try to get there attention. Asked for extra napkins and she came back with Check and napkins as if to say she was done with us and we should go. We waited for her to come back to pay ,Never came we had to wait at the counter for them to notice us. Then the person taking the card to pay asked the other in Spanish if he should charge more, then they laughed. I did understand. They should be quite till people leave and not embarrass the place that pays them. We were not empressed with the staff. Including the person who said that he was the owner.

Fluffiest, most beautifully textured pancakes known to mankind! Orange juice made in house. And the hostess was extremely welcoming and helpful.
