    Tijuana Skillet
    Stephanie A.

    Omg haven't been to a breakfast spot this good in a while! Ordered the Tijuana Skillet and wow, that blew my socks off. I never order steak at a breakfast place but this was highly recommended by a family member. It did not disappoint and might have changed me. The skillet itself was properly portioned for one person ( I hate when I order a skillet and later realize 2 other could've helped me finish it) The skillet came with a choice of 2 toasts or pancakes. I chose pancakes and I honestly did like the syrup on them too. Couldn't finish both pancakes though. They do not skimp on the OJ here either. It was a tall glass and couldn't finish it. Our waitress was super nice and the place itself is clean and full on a Saturday morning (a good sign) I will definitely be coming back here

    Very nice service, good food and clean restaurant. The pancakes were light and fluffy! The burrito contained fresh vegetables too.

    Cinnamon Roll French Toast

    Solid breakfast diner with tasty food and very friendly service. The look and ambiance of this place are nothing special at all and can actually use some work. Restaurant was empty with a tv running in the background and it didn't really have much of a vibe. Furniture and decor was lacking. Be prepared to have to ask for water if you order another drink. Which shows a lack of experience and training on ownership side. Our waitress was the star of the show. She was incredibly sweet and attentive and always kept my coffee full. My daughter had the cinnamon roll French toast which was delicious. My son had the Nutella crepes which were ok. I opted for lunch with a chicken panini. It had no flavor at all was messy and the chicken was tough and chewy. There was supposed to be chipotle mayo in it but it tasted bland. The fries that it came with were great. It also came with a cream of spinach soup. It was too heavy and filled with fat. I love a creamy soup but this was overkill. I like the convenience of this being in a large strip mall with plenty of parking. I get my dog groomed in the same plaza so it's nice to have a spot to have breakfast in the area. Overall I would come back only if convenient. It you are in the area it's a nice breakfast diner. Aside from that I really wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.

    Apple Gouda Melt

    We've enjoyed brunch and lunch here a few times in recent months. It's not your stereotypical diner. The straightforward food and plain décor might not wow you, but the dining room is immaculately clean and bright, and the service at this family-owned café is friendly and caring. And the prices are down-to-earth. These are the things that matter. The picture-perfect omelets are served with the usual accompaniments. $2.00 added to any sandwich gets you a generous bowl of soup plus fries. The split pea soup is so thick, you can stand a spoon in it. The chicken salad and the filling in the chicken wrap (essentially the same) are closer to ho-hum than yum. Best thing I've had here to date is the Apple Gouda Melt, a savory-sweet sandwich made with sliced ham, gouda cheese, thinly sliced apple and cranberry mayo. If you like Monte Cristo sandwiches, you'll love this.

    This town needs a place like Angel's Pancake cafe. In terms of its breakfast offerings, it sits between the old-school diners (don't get me wrong, I love me an old-school diner) and the vibe-heavy, picture-perfect brunch spots (I love those too) with all those fruit twist garnishes. The food is more upscale, but simpler and a little more plain in its presentation. There are interesting concoctions/combinations on their menu, but not THAT wacky. I had the lumberjack skillet (light cheese) and I thought the corned beef hash was spot on. The pancakes are not all that fluffy, but that may be their thing. I also tried the bacon cheeseburger (hold the cheese) and the you can tell the bacon is made from a breakfast place! Yay! I'm also a fan of battered fries, but that's a personal preference. It was never too crowded both times I went, but the service was pretty attentive and quick. I'm tempted to say "I wish they'd have this on the menu, or that on the menu" - I think there's room to get a little wackier, more personality, more character... but I also need to keep my comments on how it is as it is.

    Tijuana Skillet - amazing!
    Bob R.

    Angel's is a small breakfast and brunch restaurant in a strip mall in Morton Grove. It's simple, with not too many appointments, but it's clean and neat. When we arrived there were many tables open. We were told to sit wherever we liked, so we sat at a booth near the window. (The window overlooked the strip mall parking lot . Our server was great. He kept our coffee cups filled, and took care to ensure we had everything we needed. He helped make this an even better experience. The food was great. I was with my mom, who had her usual single poached egg and coffee. I preferred the Jamaican Skillet. I was impressed with what other Yelpers said in their reviews, so I gave it a try. The portion was huge. Potato's, onions, a generous amount of steak, jalapeños, with an egg, over easy on top. (I'm sure I missed an ingredient.) I didn't want the pancakes, so he offered to substitute fruit - it was fresh and sweet. The coffee was okay, but I can be a snob about coffee. All-in-all, it was a great experience. We will be back. And, if you are in the area, you should try it, too.

    Peanut Butter Oatmeal
    Jazmin R.

    This place was good! Came here on a Sunday and fortunately for my friend and I, it wasn't crazy busy. I think it definitely picks up after 11:30 am (we got there at 10:30). Good amount of tables and the restaurant looked clean. Server was attentive and helped me decide on the French toast (I was stuck between those and pancakes). The French toast weren't thick brioche but still packed a good amount of flavor and still had a fluffiness to them. I really enjoyed them! Ham was cooked perfectly and was not overly salty at all which is a plus for me. My friend got the peanut butter oatmeal which she also enjoyed. I've already told my mom about this place and she says she'll be trying it out soon!

    Food was absolutely delicious. Start to finish, from the soup and perfectly crunchy fries, to the flavor of the Chipotle Mayo and Pickles alongside the sandwich.

    Walking in, I was a bit underwhelmed. The interior is bland and the TVs running in the background make the room seem busier that it was... to the point of distraction. The service people are friendly and helpful which are nice. I started with an iced tea but had to have it replaced. I am not sure if it was due to being brewed in the same pot as coffee, or because of the blend of the tea. But it was not what I consider refreshing. The ham and cheese omelette, hash browns, and French toast were all basic. No seasonings, flavorings, or interesting factors. The omelette was fluffy, but that's about it. The redeeming quality of this entire meal was the price. For the amount of food, this was well worth the price

    Hmm, my last review is a teenager... time for an update 16 years later!…read more This place continues to be a gem! We had a 15 minute wait around noon on a holiday. While they were open for dinner in the past, WB now only serves until 2:30pm, which is common for brunch places. Plan accordingly! My go to is the chipotle chicken crepes. I always opt for a savory brunch bite. The potato pancakes are thin and crisp and pair nicely with applesauce and smooth sour cream. A lovely addition is Dollop Coffee specialty drinks like tiramisu or chocolate orange cold brew and lavender vanilla lattes, all around $6.50. Kids' menu has plenty of breakfast and lunch options for young ones 10 and under. Hash browns or corned beef hash on the side are popular with my kids. Friendly waitstaff.

Cozy, nostalgic, and super inviting. We were seated quickly, and our server took great care of us throughout the meal. We started with fresh orange juice and coffee, which was the perfect way to ease into brunch mode. I ordered a small stack of pancakes with spicy hash browns and bacon, while my husband kept it classic with scrambled eggs and toast. And wow...the food absolutely knocked it out of the park. The hash browns were insanely good. I never realized hash browns could pair so perfectly with pico de gallo, but now I'm convinced. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious, and the bacon was thick-cut and cooked just right. This is definitely a spot we'd come back to. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the food somehow manages to be even better.

Our server Miriam was awesome with our orders, she came by to check on us and not too many times, and was there to help us with leftovers and leaving stuff. She struck a nice balance of not being there vs being here too often, so that's Ace's in my book. Since it was Mother's Day, it's crowded and a bit loud but not too loud where it was too obnoxious, except for a few people who had no manners at all on dress, but that's another topic I won't go to, for now. Tables, plates and silverware were clean, and one can still get around, even with one table behind us with a handicapped person, it didn't crowd up much at all - it was all very reasonably spacious. Definitely will come back here, though I do miss that older lady who was our server the last time before today, who was very nice - had a bit of an attitude to her personality but not too much to make it tasteless, some sass makes for an interesting day. (Hope you are doing well, ma'am!)
