We have found our breakfast place! Poached eggs are perfect EVERY time and pancakes are well worth the carbs and calories!

Love the apple pancakes!! Worth the wait

Best place around for breakfast. Food is awesome, service is excellent. I would recommend this to anyone. I even heard that Santa visits near the holidays, so bring the kids on weekends close to Christmas. read more

Love this place, even though the service has been a little slow lately. We go here at least 3 times per month. If you get sat on the north side of the restaurant it seems forget about getting out of there in under 2 hours. I don't know why, but every time we get sat there the service is way slower. Anyway, the good. The lady that owns the place is super friendly, she doesn't come around anymore, hope she's okay, but her sons run the joint now. The Kayana is my go to and my wife loves the veggie skillet. Not a fan of their chorizo it's more patty like and the seasoning is weird. For a change of pace, the ham egg and cheese croissant is amazing. I'm also a huge fan of their bacon, it's pretty thick, not the flimsy stuff at most breakfast places these days. Last but not least, LOVE the coffee. It's their own Intelligentsia (spelling?) blend and they have real cream. read more

Apple Villa has forgotten what great customer service is! Been going there for 12 years. Drove over and hubby went in to order carry out breakfast on their email "buy an entree and 2 drinks and get an entree free" offer. I'm a high risk senior and not ready for restaurant eating yet. Hubby forget to mention the offer. He went right back in a few minutes later. Girl told him there was nothing she could do as the order was already processed and she couldn't adjust it. He doesn't like to argue! So I call from the car and get the same answer. I ask if she can simply credit the entire transaction and start again. She says their system doesn't work that way! I ask to speak to a manager, who gives the same answer. I ask what they'd do if something was incorrectly rung up? She said she'd have to speak to the owner. Ok--may I talk to the owner? He's not here. I give up! Suggestion to Apple Villa: If you cannot navigate the complexities of electronic credit/debit card payments, then great customer service is an option! Why not simply offer us another entree at no charge? Everyone wins! The restaurant makes more money as we pay for 2 entrees instead of 1, to get our free one! The customer is happy, happy, happy! Nope, no solution offered. I surrender. It gets worse! Hubby goes in to get the food and is handed the bag. No drinks! He asks for them. Girl is flustered. Asks if he has paid. Wait, what? She seats some customers. Comes back a few minutes later with a soft drink and iced tea in large coffee cups. Not the size drinks we were expecting but ok. He asks to make sure there are plastic utensils included. She is again confused. Seats 2 more groups and then wanders off to get plastic ware. All while my hubby is standing there with our food getting cold! She asks a few more times if he's paid and if he got the food! Wow! Reminder to Apple Villa: Briana's, Daddy-O's Diner, Andre's, Lume's, Colonial Cafe, Denny's, IHOP, Harner's, Buttermilk Cafe, Alexander's, Double Yolk and many others are all in the area and serving breakfast. Take care of your customers! read more

I've lived in the area over 10 yrs and never tried this place till today..I went to uber eats ap to get food and saw this lace on the list so I ordered...I got the sunrise skillet,it was delicious. Came with 2 pancakes and they were pretty good as well! read more

Breakfast was delicious. Coffee was good. Service was good. This was my first visit, but plan to return to try more menu items. The parking lot was full, but there was no waiting for a table, as it is a good sized restaurant. There was not a big wait from the time we ordered till we got our food. The waitress took care of us very well. read more

Best skillets and pancakes in town. My husband I have never been disappointed. Service is great and food never disappoints. Claire is our favorite server!!! read more

Very poorly run you have to ask for coffee, silverware,water and management doesn't seem to care .

Been here a few times over the years and must say their food quality, service and cleanliness has been on a steady decline. There are better choices in the area. read more

Apple Villa is quickly becoming one of my favorite breakfast places in the Fox Valley area. So many amazing breakfast options! You get tons of food. I usually end up having to get a box to take home. One of my favs is their veggie skillet. The veggies (tomatoes, mushrooms, onions and broccoli) are super fresh. I always get my skillet with cheddar cheese. Super yummy! The skillet also includes pancakes or toast. I go with pancakes and you can add chocolate chips (it costs a little extra, but it's sooo worth it!) I've also had the ham and it very flavorful. The service has always been top notch. I always look forward to breakfast here and I can't wait to try more of their options. read more

So after doing the FLW 10k race today, I was cravin' some protein in the form of egg. Yes. A nice veggie egg white omelet with English muffin on the side. My husband and I met family here for brunch today and man oh man. It hit the spot. I had a bite of my aunt-in-laws shared their apple pancake with us and that took me over the line. Needless to say, I have leftovers for breakfast tomorrow. This place takes me back to the days of what Omega used to be. Go early 'cause they close at 3pm on Sundays. Greats service, too. read more

The owner is always hustling right along side her staff, serving, busing tables and hostessing. Food is always prepared quickly and fresh. We love the crapes, omelets, pancakes (apple or buttermilk) and skillets. The homey atmosphere and delicious flavors keep us coming back again and again! read more

probably my favorite breakfast place in the tri-cities area. What I like most about Apple Villa is the variety. I can't stand breakfast places with tiny, limited menu's. AV has everything you could imagine on their breakfast menu. One of the best. The waits can be kinda brutal on the weekends, but otherwise, I like it. read more

Excellent food, prepared quickly one of my favorite places for breakfast skillets. Family oriented with a pleasant atmosphere. Friendly staff, easy to find and ample parking. read more

We came to Apple villa today and had the apple pancake & it was delicious grandma loved it and she will be coming back for more & more!!! Our waitress was also very great read more

This restaurant has amazing staff and fantastic food. One of my favorite places to go for breakfast or brunch.

My 2nd time here, but was daring to try something different. So I had strawberry crepes. I came here on 9-2-13. They were special, sweet, very light. I have seen them on a lot of menus but never want to try them. Well mine had very sweet strawberry's. I had 3 folded crepes with strawberries on the inside and whip cream on top with a little spanking of powdered sugar. On these came with a tropical fruit syrup & maple syrup. A side of bacon & decaf coffee. I tried the tropical fruit syrup which made the crepes really sweet. Then I tried the maple syrup version and it was a prefect match. Then eating the crepes with no butter but using the whip cream like butter and yes, clean plate club again. My sister had eggs. My 1st time is with a girlfriend on my birthday 2-16-12. It was packed inside during our visit in the winter time, we had always driving past here and wondered what's inside. My friend, everybody knows her name. So we got a table quickly I order there pancakes, bacon,decaf coffee. She order's the grand daddy (seniors only please) one egg scrambled, bacon& 2 pancakes, coffee. She was so surprised that she could eat all of that then she started calling her sisters about her clean plate club. It was funny instead of us talking she was calling about how she could put away all that. But this is a nice place to visit and it's where the local eat. Keep up the good work. read more

I'm just not much of a fan of Apple Villa. The food is ok, the decor is ok, and the service is ok. Nothing is spectacular and the coffee is certainly bland. If you are close drive to Harner's if you're looking for a homestyle breakfast. read more

What a great little diner. The soup and french fries were amazing! You get a decent amount of food, even though the prices are a tad bit more than other similar places, you get your money's worth. Our waitress was very attentive and super sweet. Some of their breakfast items looked amazing but I was in a lunch kind of mood, I'll definitely be back. read more

Met some of my family members on the Saturday after Christmas at 8 am. There were nine of us. Most of us got coffee. Ordered food, wanted the pumpkin pancakes. Was asked if I wanted four or six. I said two. I know you can get two, because I was there with my daughter, a month before and her choice for the cinnamon swirl pancakes was, 2, 4 or 6. Ordered 4 and took 2 home. My elderly mother had to keep going to find the waitress to bring coffee to the table. It wasn't that busy yet. We saw her talking with other co-workers whenever we were looking for coffee. Food was good, service, just ok. read more

Poor service. They have GF pancakes but I was told they can't use that batter to make any of their signature pancakes GF. Why?? Were sat at a table that had been cleared but not cleaned. When I asked if they would clean it, they never came back to do so. Seems to be poorly managed and lack of coaching to their staff. read more

The manager there is this tiny young woman that is so rude.. I have been a customer for many years and this is just not ok.. she seems to think that we are all doing her a favor in showing up..really offended by the disrespect..not going back. read more

For the first time here food was really good no complaints on taste that's for sure. It's a very busy restaurant. Didn't know they put the butter and jelly in a tiny bowl on the side for the English muffin I had. The ketchup to was in a tiny bowl had to ask for 3 just to cover the skillet. I would of preferred a ketchup bottle. My husband's chicken and waffles was really good. The spicy jam on it was so good!!! But we will have to come back another time and try something else. read more

Apple Villa Cafe - I ordered the country skillet, had bacon tomato and onion which was awesome!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Batavia, Illinois

See all

This restaurant has a great atmosphere and is very clean. My server (Sarah) was very courteous and attentive. (I never ran out of hot fresh coffee served with REAL cream!) The meal was excellent and more than I could eat! Highly recommend. read more

Great! Omelets are to die for - huge puffs. It's a lot of food, but everything we have ordered here has been great. Service is good, can be a little slow on Sundays. Very casual, great for kids and groups. read more

It's adequate. Just that - adequate. My grandmother loves this place so we go there often, but to me the food is bland and forgettable. The only thing I really like is the Apple Pancake, but even on Sunday morning it takes 40 minutes to get that . There are many better choices in the area. read more

Food was fine. Service for a big group was not good at all. Rude and orders mixed up.

Great breakfast place! Large portions and corned beef was homemade... Eggs are cage free. Connie was our server and she was awesome!

My husband loves Apple Villa's apple pancake. We actually saw it in our grocer's freezer so now he's over the top! I found the rest of the food pretty blah, regular. The omelets always have cheese in just a portion of it and plain in the other, not pleased about that. We still go to please the hubs :) read more

Apple Villa Cafe - The baked apple pancake. Expect a sugar high shortly after! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Batavia, Illinois

Went here three times now. Always great food and fantastic service. Everything tasted great from omelet to corned beef hash to eggs Benedict. Will definitely be back. read more

Great food and service. The woman who owns this place is always there and making sure all employees are hustling and offering good service. Food has flavor and actual recipes... remember those? I'm not a huge waffle, baked apple fancy kind of crepes breakfast guy but everyone else seems to love them here. Great minced ham and eggs. I always get breakfast. Lunch menu looks good also but there breakfast rocks. Go! read more

Apple Villa is a great breakfast restaurant. We go there at least once a month. Good, consistent food. The only thing is the wait. We had a 15 min wait and we saw at least 5 open tables. Seating us and everyone else in line would of filled those tables and boom no wait. We were seated on the left side of the restaurant that has all booths. There was 4 open booths in our area (the whole time we were there). When I went to the washroom there were open tables there too, while people were still waiting in line. Maybe I'm missing something but if people are waiting and there are open seats why not seat them? The main hostess seems to be searing more coffee then the. Seating people I guess. I don't know. Great food those and will definitely cure a hangover. read more

Love this place so much! I don't know what some of these people are talking about... There normally is no more than a 20 minute wait here. The food there is delicious and always consistent, which you can't say for a lot of breakfast places! I would definitely recommend Apple Villa because it is a very nice restaurant in general, but either way...you won't know you like something until you have tried it! read more

After giving our name for the list we were escorted to the back room to wait. The waiting room was full but we walked past many empty tables on the way back. After waiting an hour we finally got called - nearly half the restaurant was still empty. They had plenty of staff working so there was no logical reason why it was taking so long. There was also another batch of people waiting by the door. When we finally sat down all the people in our section were not called from our waiting room. There is no way they had to wait as long as the people in the room. The whole process is chaos and regardless of the food taste or quality the experience alone gives the low rating. read more

Some of my friends find this to be their favorite, so I find myself here about once a year. Mediocre service from teen servers who don't really care. I don't really care either; I get it. But I also know when I am supposed to pretend to. Food takes a long time. Prices are significantly higher than other places in the area. I vastly prefer pretty much any other breakfast establishment. I can't understand what the hype is about. I'd rather have good food at a good value. Unimpressed. read more

Apple Villa is the best breakfast in the Fox Valley area. As a 52 year resident of the Fox Valley, have been to them all. The only way to get a better breakfast is to visit the Palmetto Bay Sunrise Cafe on Hilton Head or go north to the White Gull Inn in Door County. Possibly the cleanest restaurant one could find - confirmed by my son who has been in the kitchen and back areas a number of times. Good Kona blend coffee - wish it were pure Kona but that costs $40 per pound. Great baked apple pancake, excellent eggs, skillets, omelettes and crepes. The regular pancakes are better than mine...FYI IHOP I would not feed to my dog. The service is very good. We moved from Batavia 5 years ago but still drive the extra distance to get the best, consistent breakfast in the area. read more

The food service business is a tough one to be in. As you can see by all of the varied comments, you can't please everyone all of the time. Some people just need to get off their high horse and find out what their real problem is. We have not had a bad meal at Apple Villa in Batavia. If ever there were a change we needed or requested they were more than accommodating. We have moved to WI and whenever we get back to Batavia, we make Apple Villa one of our stops. There is nothing to compare of the same kind of breakfast/lunch place to in the area. Period. read more

has this place been sold ? Does not seem as good as it was in the past service has suffered and food not as good. We waited over 10 minutes just to get some service and it was not crowded. Then my meal was so so. Next time I will be trying another breakfast lunch type place read more

Such a cute restaurant! Love the food, welcoming staff, and the forever clean bathrooms. Definitely is my go-to place on the weekends. read more
