    Baker Hill is a cozy neighborhood diner located not too far from highway (I-90). The menu offers a selection of breakfast and lunch. We cane here on a Saturday breakfast, and it was somewhat busy, but we were able to get seated right away. The food quality is as expected. They always give you more eggs than stated in the menu. For example, I ordered one egg+ sausage, and I actually got two eggs. One of us ordered the hash brown crispier, it came out good. But the other one didn't specify so it's a bit on the al dente side. So, I would suggest to be specific, and same go for the bacon. We also had more than enough to bring home.

    Tortilla soup

    The food was good except the tortilla soup, the soup looked like a made up soup, too much onion that's cut a little big, I had to keep picking it out, there is barely rice but a lot of celery, onion and carrots, they have the tortilla on the side which I was okay with but I hope they fix it. I love baker hill and just kinda shocked about the tortilla soup, this review is not not meant to be a bad review but for awareness.

    Wow this place is fantastic. The eggs were delicious and pancakes too. Plus the owner of the restaurant stopped by our table and was lovely. Great place for breakfast! Friendly service and nice and clean too.

    All I can say is just moving here from out-of-state finding a local restaurants that reminds me of home was just amazing. The food was great. The people are friendly. You get great service all around will definitely be one of my favorite go to places from now on if it's your first time coming here, ask for hope she is amazing and very friendly.

    Nice little place we found while driving back from Algonquin, very tasty food, good service. Ham was juice, which is always a plus.

    I was really disappointed I ordered on Uber Eats a skirt steak breakfast plate and I got a hamburger patty instead of a skirt steak. Also it just came with regular $1 bag of wheat bread I was expecting the heartier wheat toast restaurants serve. I also ordered chicken salad sandwich with soup. Chicken salad was nothing fancy just mayo and celery on once again $1 white toast. The bread they gave me for the soup was thrown in with my bag with no cling wrap or anything. Overall only ate hash browns, eggs, and soup. Do not recommend for delivery they might serve better via dine in. The hash-browns and eggs were good but I ended just feeding the burger to my dog which she didn't eat either.

    Oh my! This place has great food! Take my advice and come with an appetite cuz they are gonna bring you a plateful! If you have a waitress named Tiffany bring your A game cuz she's a riot!! This was the first time eating at this establishment and I wasn't disappointed at all,very very good! Just my 2 cents, Stay Salty!

    Always glad to see Baker Hill open. For us it's usually a breakfast restaurant. Fast friendly service and the food is fantastic. Try the chorizo omelette. Biscuits and gravy are definitely trip-worthy. Five stars.

    My favorite diner, comfort food will always be served fast and ready. The Carpenters skillet always has been a favorite, never disappoints. Try their Skirt Steak and Soup of the Day.

    Fresh sliced fruit was a nice surprise. The corned-beef hash and eggs over easy were spot-on.

They started us off with some grilled bread and butter that was perfectly toasty and warm, which I paired with a creamy soup for a great start to the meal. I also finally tried schnitzel for the first time! Along with spatzle, which I enjoyed it so much even though I didn't know what to expect! The dessert was easily the best part, though. We shared a butter pecan malt shake with chocolate fudge and it was amazing . They still use those old-school milkshake machines and bring you the extra in the metal cup, which is such a great nostalgic touch. The atmosphere inside is lovely too, especially all the framed photos of historical buildings that used to be in downtown Elgin! The staff were so friendly too. The waiter was such a sweetheart and made the experience even more enjoyable.

    When we pulled in the parking lot, it looked like every single spot was taken. We were thinking…read morethat it was gonna be a long wait. Thankfully, we got in and they only made us wait. About three minutes. Our waitlist was a sweet old lady, but when I asked her for prices on soup and bread basket, she was sassy in her reply. Wish the prices on the menu for these items. Just in case you're wondering it was $5.75 for the bowl of soup and the bread basket is included. The soup I ordered was cream of chicken and rice. It was delicious. It was really hot so I had to wait for a while before I could eat it which is fine rather have it too hot and too cold. The bread basket was good, but the bread was kind of chewy. It was hard to eat, but that's OK because we need to dip it in the soup. It's softened up nicely. There are crackers and butter with the bread basket so I was able to add some crackers to my soup as well. I'm so glad we came here for lunch. It was delicious and filling and will be back again. They also have a beautiful dessert selection and the restaurant was decorated for Valentine's Day, which was yesterday. If you're ever in the area looking for a restaurant don't even hesitate to come here. It's perfect. My husband ordered the one egg breakfast with bacon and toast. He said it was great and he would order it again.

So I went with something basic and it came out almost raw. The owner did her best to make things right which I very much appreciated. My daughter did enjoy her food and my wife absolutely enjoyed her soup. This just wasn't the best first impression of the food for me. The restaurant was very busy which is always a sign of good business. So yes I would recommend this place as I believe my experience was not of the norm.
