“Wildberry Café was hands down one of the best food experiences I’ve ever had in Chicago! My parents and I visited as a group of three, and we ordered three pancake dishes—two Chocolate Chip Pancakes and one Blueberry Pancake—along with a side of hash browns. Every single item was outstanding. The pancakes were incredibly fluffy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I was genuinely blown away by how amazing all three pancake dishes tasted, and the blueberry pancakes were just as delicious as the chocolate chip ones. Even the hash browns were crispy, golden, and absolutely delicious. The service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout our visit. We did have to wait about 30 minutes for a table on the patio, but it was absolutely worth the wait. The outdoor seating made the experience even more enjoyable, and once the food arrived, we forgot all about the wait. This is one of those meals that sticks with you long after it’s over. I still find myself missing those pancakes! If you’re looking for an unforgettable breakfast or brunch spot in Chicago, Wildberry Café is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back!”
“Wildberry Pancakes & Cafe on E. Randolph is absolutely worth the hype. Despite stopping by during a busy brunch service, the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Our waiter was personable and attentive, and I was amazed that our food arrived in less than 10 minutes. I ordered the Butcher Block Skillet along with the signature Berry Bliss Pancakes, and both were fantastic. The skillet was hearty and loaded with meat, while the pancakes completely lived up to their reputation. The berry mascarpone filling was rich, creamy. It truly was the icing on the "pan"cake! We also tried the brisket grilled cheese. While it was good, I'd probably skip it next time. As a Texan, I felt it was missing a tangy barbecue sauce to give it that authentic barbecue flavor. Overall, the food was incredibly flavorful, the service was excellent, and the restaurant handled a packed brunch crowd with impressive efficiency. Wildberry is a must-stop every time I visit Chicago.”

“We called an audible and opted to try this spot for breakfast. Olivia was our server. She was great! It was a great choice! Promptly seated not wait, great service, and the food was delicious! A definite must and must do again!”
“I was so happy to be able to dine at this spot while visiting Chicago. I would say it was my best meal I had during my 4 day stay. I ordered the vegan hash. My partner really enjoyed his food as well.”
“You can always tell how good a restaurant is by their wait. This restaurant always has a wait. We waited 45 minutes. So worth it. The food, service and atmosphere was very good 👍. They turn their tables so fast. The team work was insane. Our server was very good. We had a great time.”
“Martin was the best server! Really funny and attentive, made our experience even better! Food was amazing really loved the blueberry danish pancakes!”
“I got the baked potato omelette and it was the best omelette i have ever had! We had Jessica and she was so great, so personal and so kind to my eight month old. My husband got the butchers block skillet (about $21) and it was like three meals worth! Food came out in under five minutes, even for the table of six next to us. We were even given coffee to go for no extra charge!! Absolutely recommend this place.”
“A long queue to get a table that somehow moves really really fast!! Service is great and food is great too”
