We were in the area and someone recommended this restaurant for breakfast. I love the high ceilings and plenty of windows with natural lighting. The restaurant is decorated very nicely, they put a lot of thought in colors and decor. Our waitress was very sweet and knowledgeable, I appreciated her input. I ordered coffee and my cup was never left empty. They have a really sweet man who comes around and tops off your coffee cups. They have specials and a kids menu too. The bathroom latches are way too high for a child to lock the door, but they do have a fold down changing table in the woman's restroom. (Not in the stall) They do have high chairs for toddlers. I actually need a chair to rest my leg on because I cannot bend my right knee. Our waitress was very nice about it... however a man came up to me and told me it was a fire hazard to have a chair in the aisle... so what about the kids high chairs? The chair was completely pushed under the table... so I had no choice but to put my foot up on the other side of the booth (which I was avoiding). Also the booth cushion is not attached so when you lean on it it comes up... making it very hard for a handicapped person like me to get in and out of a booth. other than that our experience was enjoyable. My husband ordered the corned beef hash breakfast. It came with Corned beef Hash, 2 eggs (he ordered his scrambled) diced potatoes or hashed browns (he picked diced potatoes) and toast or pancakes. That is a lot of food for him, so I am going to eat his pancakes. I also ordered two eggs over easy off the sides menu. The portion sizes are large. My husband's scrambled eggs looked more like 3 eggs and not two. The food was nice and hot and tasty. Highly recommended dining here if you're in the area. Will be back. read more

Really good breakfast spot! I had the two cheese omelet and it was very good. Sourdough toast wasn't really sourdough but it wasn't bad. Our server (as well as everyone else on staff) was incredibly attentive with coffee refills. I don't think I ever got below half empty before a refill was offered. Overall, if I'm in the area again, I would come back here. read more

I liked the breakfast. I always ordered corned beef hash and eggs with blueberry pancakes. The place is so clean and i liked the place. Employees are so nice to the customer. read more

Underwhelming: - was the iced coffee. Underwhelming might be an understatement. It was the worst iced coffee I've ever had, very beany and bitter tasting, even when doused with loads of cream (and I usually drink it black). Overwhelming: - options on the menu! Something for everyone here, like skillets, waffles, eggs, pancakes, and more. - portion sizes. You won't leave hungry! Take it to go for a second or third helping later. The food was just whelming. The tuna melt comes on English muffins, with cheese melted on top. It wasn't particularly hot. The pancakes were fluffy when served, but the leftovers dried out pretty quickly. Service was friendly. read more

Annie's is the cutest little pancake house. My boyfriend and I just stopped in for a cup of coffee on a Saturday morning & got seated right away. Our server was awesome and very helpful. We ended up ordering a side of pancakes too & they were delicious!!!! Highly recommend stopping in here for a classic breakfast spot! read more

We used to frequent at their Skokie location as I grew up there, and am so excited to hear they they reopened closer to us now. We came by on a Sunday for brunch and were told there was a 10-15 minute wait but we were seated pretty quickly. Upon being seated our waiter came by and took our drink orders, I had their special orange juice and it was delish! For my entree I got their Annie's special with a side of penciled, bacon, sausage, eggs and a side of hash brown. I love their hash browns because they always come out crispy and not burnt or overly salted. Their pancakes are always so light and fluffy. I usually go for a skillet or one of their omelets but kept in simple on this day. The food came out shortly after and we enjoyed our experience. The restaurant was bright with lots of windows compared to their old restaurant where it felt more like a diner. So great to see that the same family still owns it. We can't wait to come back and try other menu items, esp. their seasonal specials. read more

It can be hard to find a classic diner that serves a great breakfast, has a staff to match who are friendly and attentive with an atmosphere and customer diversity that is all American. Annie's is that place! read more

Came here at 10am on a Saturday morning. 7 of us (including 2 toddlers) were seated promptly. Incredibly friendly service and our orders were taken fairly quickly, but we didn't feel rushed at all. The portion sizes were anywhere from acceptable to VERY generous :) - the bowl of oatmeal in particular blew us away. The room was bright and welcoming, and we felt very comfortable. Not too noisy, and no music playing (which was actually nice!). If I had to pick two minor constructive pieces of criticism, it would be that the chilaquiles were a bit spicy and that we'd love real cream for our coffee instead of packets. Other than that, the place was a nice surprise! read more

Amazing food and service, this is the only place to go for a breakfast or lunch. The food is so good

4.5, but pretty darn good so I rounded up to 5 stars. Nice ambience - the space is bright with big windows and light colors. Nice selection of coffee and espresso drinks. Wide variety of breakfast and lunch foods - with two sets of specials! I really like their savory foods - omelets and skillets are great with fresh veggies, and the ham (off the bone) is superb and flavorful. There's a nice variety of kids menu items also. When it comes to sweets, I find the pancakes to be too sweet, and a little stingy on the fillings. For example, when I asked to add blueberries into my pancakes, I could count the number of blueberries in there, and many bitefuls lacked berries. However, the Jr. Apple pancake is phenomenal - packed with tons of thinly sliced apples - and is big enough to feed a family. I'd definitely come back again - in fact, I've been here twice now in the past month! read more

Yelp to the rescue! Hubby and I were in the northern Chicago suburbs and wanted to try a local restaurant for breakfast. I went to Yelp for suggestions since I wasn't familiar with the area and didn't want a chain spot. Yelp helped me find a winner. We walked in and were seated immediately. I started with the salted carmel cappuccino and it was yummy. Hubby just did regular coffee and he was happy with that. The price was good and you got large portions. We weren't able to eat it all...who doesn't love leftovers? I got Annie 's combo with scrambled eggs, bacon, French toast, and bacon-- all of that for $13! Hubby got build your own omelet, hashbrowns, and pancakes. We were stuffed and happy. The service was great from beginning to end. Everyone was nice and attentive. We didn't feel rushed-- so we took our time eating and talking. I would definitely recommend Annie's Pancake House. read more

Stopped by for a weekend brunch. The place was pretty busy so it took ~20 minutes to get seated. Unfortunately, there was a sign on the door that said they were short staffed. Our coffee came out quickly but we waited almost an hour for our entrees. I understand they were short staffed but this was still quite awhile for 2 entrees. Nevertheless, the dish was excellent and definitely deserved the 5 stars. Hope they can get the shortage sorted out because their food is great! read more

Had brunch today with my mom and brother outside Al fresco since the weather was nice. We seated ourselves and was greeted promptly and ask we wanted some coffee right away.Dee was our waitress and I've had her before inside when I was with my wife. Anyways I had the Annie's #2 combo with two eggs two bacon and sausage with pancakes it was delicious, my brother had the lunch special of fish and chips with soup and warm bread he says was also delicious, as for my mom she had the tuna avocado fruit salad which was very healthy options due to her heart condition. Overall, Service was very good always asking if I wanted more coffee or water for all of us. Outdoor seating was very nice and plenty of parking available.Will definitely be back again read more

Breakfast was awesome here! 1) I can't remember the waitress' name but she was probably the best waitress I've had in months out of all the places I've been. She was attentive, super sweet, and honestly made the experience so nice eating here for the first time. You could see she was a fan favorite because even a little girl walking in was enthusiastically waving to our waitress. 2) Came at 9 am and place was not yet busy so if you don't want to wait, come early enough. Started getting busy about 10/10:15 am when we were wrapping up. 3) Food was great! Only got a picture of the stuffed French toast because it was beautifully played and my best friend said it was delicious. I got the California scrambler and it was good - had enough left to take home a box. Random fact for the consumer - they serve their syrup in a warmed bottle so it's a nice touch for your pancakes/French toast/etc. Will be coming back again, this time to get my own French toast! read more

Annie's is in Mt. Prospect and here to stay! I started eating at Annie's when they first opened in Skokie on Oakton. I moved out this way and started missing the fresh, consistent, delicious dishes along with the friendly service of Annie's. Hubby and I were looking for breakfast and came across this place. I thought - maybe it's a second location? We went in and immediately was greeted with a friendly face. It's been so many years, I don't expected to be recognized and wasn't. Not a big deal. The location is convenient at the corner of Kensington and Wolf (where the former Photo Hot Dog's was) and has a big private lot. The restaurant is big and open, lots of windows so it's bright and inviting. There's a mix of booths and tables, seating options for all. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The food - always hot and delicious. Eggs are always well prepared and cooked as ordered. My husband enjoys ordering their skirt steak and eggs. Always cooked as ordered - med. rare with sunny side up eggs and fresh diced potatoes. Greek toast buttered. They have this delicious jelly served with the toast. So good! I like to mix things up. My favorite is the corned beef omelette with mozzarella and shredded hash browns. I've had their Cobb salad with chicken and blue cheese. Their Annie's Combo #2 is my son's go-to order. My younger son loves their waffles and a side of their crispy bacon (which we devour). Their bacon is just the right combination of crispy and chewy - I don't know how they do it, but it satisfies everyone in our family because we are always divided on crispy vs chewy. I love trying new items on their menu because I haven't had anything that wasn't tasty. My friends and I go to Annie's for a meet up to do weekday ladies lunch. The owners are so nice, they're welcoming and friendly. The servers are good and hard working. The busboys are always in the move keeping glasses and mugs refilled, tables cleared off, extra napkins handy, and even passing out take out containers for leftovers. Give this place a try! It's like walking into your Greek aunt's house for a meal! Enjoy! read more

Came in on a whim, by a recommendation of a friend. This is located in the former location of what used to be Photos Hotdogs. If you grew up in the area that in itself brings back all of the nostalgia. The interior is clean, and adorable. We grabbed breakfast this morning at 9:00 and while there was a good amount of people seated, the atmosphere was quiet and relaxed. A nice change from hectic crowded breakfast spots where you can't even hear the people you are dining with. Our server was super nice, polite and friendly. The menu was ample and we decided to split an omelette breakfast. The veggie omelette did not disappoint. It was ample size to share and included so many veggies. The breakfast potatoes were tasty! Perfect size and saltiness. Lastly the pancakes were perfection. They where thick, fluffy and came with a tasty syrup that was nice and hot and ample butter. We left feeling relaxed and full as a good breakfast should feel like, and did not even break the bank. All the staff we encountered was super friendly and nice. The restaurant was very clean. Very good portion sizes for the prices. We will definitely come back again soon! read more

I spotted this place last spring and was determined to get over here. I had a breakfast special for $9.50, pretty economical. I only wanted 2 pancakes. They are a good size and fluffy. I don't like when they automatically put powdered sugar on it. I scraped it off and got it on my eggs which I didn't feel like eating anyway. I like the big bottle of warm syrup with the spout. I think they may be on the dense side cause the cake got so soaked up by the syrup, I felt like I used most of the bottle. They love to decorate here, cause it was decked out for Halloween. There are 2 sides to this place, one busier and louder that the right side which was so peaceful. Great service too. read more

My first time here and the food was amazing. I had the classic steak chilaquiles with green sauce. I personally think the sauce was perfect but if you don't eat spicy, ask for something less hot. The potato pancakes were just ok, so not a big fan. The service was ok and the food took a little bit to get to us. Not going to complain about it because the food was excellent. The restaurant ambiance was good and the restaurant was busy for a Monday morning. The price for the food wasn't bad at all and great size portions. I highly recommend and will definitely come back. read more

Typical great local pancake etc. place that anyone visiting Prospect Heights IL should go to for breakfast. This place does not have anything in particular that stands out. It's just good old local family breakfast with fun and peace. This is evidenced by LOTS of oldies frequenting Annie's. Service is friendly and helpful. The bussers were a little...eh...but negligible. All in all a great place to eat and hang out especially for breakfast, for its ambience, service, and reasonable prices. read more

Very good food in generous portions. Friendly and courteous staff. Very neighbors feel.

Had to wait forever (65 minutes) for our table of 6. One hostess even told the other hostess that our table was ready, but she still kept us waiting until finally, we got sat at the very same table that had been clean & vacant for atleast 20 mins. Other than that, the food was delicious and our waitress & table busser was super nice. I love Annie's, ever since they were in Skokie and I totally would have given them 5 stars had it not been for that one hostess... I'm hopeful that things will be better next time! read more

This restaurant presents very well. Modern, clean, very bright and welcoming. The staff I interacted with were very attentive with smiles on their faces. My wife ordered cinnamon swirl French toast which she enjoyed, sweet without being overly sweet. She also had a side of bacon which was a little too well done for our taste but not so much so that we sent it back. I ordered an ham and American cheese omelette with a side of cubed potatoes and a short stack. The omelette was perfectly balanced, very fresh and flavorful. The potatoes were about the best I have ever had, wonderfully flavored, they paired perfectly with the omelette. I wanted some potato with every bite! The pancakes were sweet, thick, and fluffy. I only needed butter to enjoy them. I also ordered a German Pancake, which is a staple for a pancake house. I have been eating these pancakes since I was a kid and have grown to love them, my hopes were high for Annie's. For me the German wasn't traditional but it was flavorful. It was a little thick on the bottom for me but I give that may be personal preference. It was a little too sweet for me as well but again personal preference. Annie's is a place I will come back to, and I would encourage anyone thinking about stopping by to do it! So worth the time and money! read more

Very good breakfast food and perfect service level.... Not too intrusive but available when you need them. The food comes quickly and is piping hot. Probably the best pancakes I've ever had in a restaurant, too. I would recommend this restaurant for breakfast items, but the burger my husband ordered was just okay, so maybe stick to the omelettes. read more

There are so many breakfast / lunch places out there now. In my opinion only a few stand out. This is one. Formerly Photos Hot Dogs, formerly Greek Feast, Annie's gets a makeover. It's bright, cheerful, and you'll be happy to know the kitchen knows what it's doing. Yes, the menu has so much in common with the other menus at the other restaurants, sandwiches, soup, salad, pancakes, burgers. What's coming out of the kitchen is very good, and that's what sets this restaurant apart from the others. The service is friendly and professional. I've had crepes, soup, omelette, hash brown potatoes, and a burger in my various visits. All are solid choices. And the coffee is above average. read more

Today was my first time eating here, I was in the area because I was doing a "house watch" on a friend's house who was away on vacation. Due to the many recent burglaries in the area, he wanted me to keep an eye on his property. So he suggested that I try this restaurant after checking on his house. The place was clean, the service was prompt and professional, and the food was tasty. I had the Denver omelette with has browns and rye toast. A nice fluffy omelette loaded with ham, green peppers, onions and cheese. The restaurant is only breakfast and lunch, closing at 3pm. Plenty of parking, including a handicapped spot in front. Five stars... read more

As you can see, the New York strip steak is pretty good. The food is good. This is a good morning breakfast spot. The only issue here, is the manager? Her name is Maddy. Went for breakfast and for a moment, she yelled from where I was (by the window) to where one pays at the cash register. Knowing that there was customers, including me next to her, she yelled to an employee instead of respectfully getting up and walking to them professionally. The times that I have gone, seems very rude and immature. The person that took care of us, very on my point. read more

First time here for breakfast on a busy Sunday morning. There was a sign posted to be patient due to staffing. Our waitress seemed stressed, and service was a bit chaotic. There were servers just for coffee and to clear plates and they were very attentive, our coffee cup was never empty. Our food did not arrive all together, but there was not too much time between servings. I had the plain crepes with powder sugar. The portion was very good, and the crepes were thin and very good. My husband had a Denver omelet with potatoes and an english muffin. His was also very good. When we walked out , every table was filled and there was a long line of people waiting. It was a good experience and food was very good. read more
