“First time going here and I have nothing negative to say. We got greeted and taken to our seat, didn’t have to wait. Our server was kind and answered any questions we had. We got our order taken in and it didn’t take more than 25 mins to get our food. Second time I went with my husband we were looking for a quick bite and we left within the hour. Didn’t take long for a place to sit, server was kind, we got our order in and less than 20 minutes we got our food and we left! If you are looking for a place to get good service and good food, I suggest you go here!”
“My first visit as I live in Ohio. I loved everything about this place. The food, the service, the vibe, all wonderful. I found this place on a very happy accident. I will be back!”
“Cute lil spot in downtown Oak Park. Friendly staff. Busy. The best nostalgic corned beef hash and eggs. 😋”
“Lexi was a wonderful server! We wanted to decide between red and green for the chilequiles and she brought us a small side of each to try🥰 Food was wonderful, big portions, plenty of flavor. The waffle didn't need the side of syrup as it was so packed with delicious toppings. The chilequiles were an absolute delight, though not spicy if that's your preference. I found the chulula on the table was good for a little pop of heat.”
“I LOVED the food here. The best fried chicken and gravy I've found in years. Completely delicious. The sweet waffle could have been less sweet, it was a sugar bomb that, of course, my kid loved. It was our first time here and I highly recommend the place.”
“We really enjoyed our breakfast here. Service was a bit slow, but they were very busy. The food was fresh, and we had no complaints. I ordered the cinnamon banana french toast and breakfast potatoes.”
“First time here and loved it! Food was great, the music was good vibe, made for a really nice atmosphere to catch up with a friend over breakfast. Our server Lexi was incredibly kind and helpful. Will definitely be coming back!”
“Fantastic food and great atmosphere. We came back two days in a row because we loved it so much! Lexi was our waitress and she was fantastic! Very attentive and fun, and if we had more time in the area, we would likely be back for more! Don’t miss if you’re in the area!”
“Delicious food and great service. The waffles were delicious. 10 out of 10!!! The "healthy skillet" was ok. I feel like something was missing but I couldn't put my hands on it. I will definitely return. There was plenty of seating during the week. Not sure how packed it is on the weekends. The picture wall is over booth which makes it awkward to take pictures with the restaurant sign.”
“Getting to the actual area is a little bit crazy because there is a lot of construction. Food was good. Service is great. I got waffles and bacon. I love that. They have turkey bacon options for those who don’t eat pork.”
