They make a surprisingly delicious tofu skillet, and really good pancakes. Service was excellent and friendly. read more

Definitely a good diner to pop in for a bit to eat if you're in the neighborhood/ a local. I wouldn't say travel for their food. I'm not sure if they were understaffed when I went for breakfast but it was not ok. I think it took 15 minutes to get a glass of water and another 10 ish minutes to track down a server to take our order. Please keep in mind it's a small place and was slightly busy. When we were tended to, the lady was kind of sweet. At one point my partner's meal was wrong and when he spoke up about it, instead of them taking it back they decided to gossip about him, in front of his face, in Spanish. Little did they know he spoke and understood fluent Spanish. So he kindly joined in the conversation which shook them and they corrected his order and from there only spoke in English. The food itself is a 3/5 and that's with a ton of salt, pepper and hot sauce. I'd be open to giving this place another chance for lunch to see if it's better with sandwiches. read more

Visited Brasas on a Sunday afternoon around 1pm. It wasn't too busy with only two other parties in the restaurant; however, the service was extremely slow. It took about 40 minutes after ordering for us to get our food. When the food arrived, it was cold. I ordered the breakfast tacos, which was served on extremely dried out, chalky tortillas. Interestingly the menu had all of the prices whited out, so we did not know the price of the items until we received the check. The pricing is decent, but the food quality and service were very disappointing. Definitely will not be returning. read more

Great place! A hidden gem! Sizable space inside to eat. We like the food every time we order here. The service varies - usually it is fast, but there was one time it took a bit of time for our food to come out. Easy street parking on Roosevelt. Family friendly! read more

Good food and quick good service. Opens early for early birds. Place was clean and friendly staff.

I'm giving this place a generous 3 out of 5, but it was really more of a 2.5. One waitress, one cook, slow service. Menu has the prices crossed out so you aren't sure how much the plates cost. The food was very basic diner food. Pancakes from a box and no frills. If that is what you want, you will be satisfied. read more

This place was very friendly and the food was good! Our server was very attentive and everyone enjoyed their choices. I had a breakfast burrito and thought it was fresh and very filling. I thought their salsa was a perfect compliment to the burrito. Those that ordered the fresh squeezed orange juice were especially pleased with their decision! We would not hesitate to return next time we are in town. It's a solid choice. Prices for breakfast were very reasonable. read more

An absolute hidden gem that we stumbled onto via Yelp, after sitting, soaking wet, (another story) in traffic from Chicago back to our hotel in Naperville. It's a small neighborhood place, sandwiched in with other businesses (maybe some residences). Without knowing it was there, or using navigation you might drive right by. Missing it if you are in the area would be your loss. It was about 1330 on a rainy Thursday and we were the only customers. Our server was really pleasant and our food came, fresh, hot and pretty quick. Perhaps they do an earlier lunch rush or are truly a breakfast place. I found it to be a cozy (it was nice and warm inside and we needed it), a bit romantic with the wood and rich latin color scheme. My wife got a Monte Cristo sandwich, with fries. I got a burger with guacamole and bacon. Every bite was just plain wonderful. The fries were hot and cooked perfectly, the sandwiches were well crafted. My guacamole was clearly hand made and they were generous with it. If we are ever in the area again, we are definitely coming back. From other reviews and search result I see that there is another Brasos a few doors down...I understand a need to differentiate the two businesses (even if same owners?) but "pancake house" for me, and just for me, isn't quite right for a place this sexy. When I hear pancake house I think fluorescent lights, cooks with regrets and parole appointments, servers held back by bad choices in men. I am not saying pancake houses are bad places, they are just a niche, that this solid little cafe, is not. read more

Terrible service, my dad and I were the ONLY people in the restaurant and the server was ignoring us as if we weren't there. Finally after waving her down she was very rude when I asked her about the menu. We both left. Not worth going. read more

They give you the wrong food and then have no explanation for it. This is a great inconvenience. Won't be back there at all

Went around 1pm on a Saturday, wasn't crowded at all. We ordered stuffed French toast, meat lovers omlette, and the Florentine Benedict for me. It came with bacon. I would have preferred egg whites for my cholesterol but I guess that's not an option. In fact I would have paid extra for scrambled egg whites. Don't get me wrong I love runny yolks on my eggs Benedict but my doctor says I maybe love them too much. They were in fact perfectly made. The meat lovers omlette was amazing. My wife got the stuffed French toast, I didn't taste them but they looked great too. For the quality of food and not having to wait I'd say it's a great spot for breakfast food. We had no issues with service at all. read more

One Saturday morning we decided to try this restaurant for breakfast. The reviews all sound good, with practically 5 stars all the way. It's easy to miss driving down on Roosevelt. We took a chance and now it will be one of our 'go-to' breakfast places. The staff (gentleman and a woman) were very Attentive, and the best part, the prices were very reasonable. 12oz "Fresh Squeezed" orange juice was probably the best fresh squeezed OJ I've ever had it at a breakfast restaurant. The price was $4! You can't even get a small lattè for that price price tag. I ordered the Mexican Skillet, SUPER Delicious! My son have the Belgium Waffle, side of bacon, hash browns and fresh squeezed OJ. The quality and taste profile was very good. We will definitely come back to 'our new breakfast spot.' read more

Really good. It was a snowy day in April -was not crowded. I had the green chilaquiles and my friend had the benedict. We were both really happy. Server, Maria, was great! Cute place! Will be my new go-to in the area. read more

Pleasant surprise! Plenty of options, good food, good atmosphere, nice staff & great prices. I was really happy the prices for the food was reasonable and actually lower than I was expecting. We ordered chicken & waffles, skirt steak w eggs & hashbrowns, and sides. The food tasted wonderful & I really liked the juicy flavor of the steak (which we got medium rare). I really liked my experience at this restaurant! The place is relatively new to the area, so I had not heard of it until looking up breakfast places nearby, but it is definitely worth checking out, even if it is in the suburbs. Locals should DEFINITELY try it if you enjoy breakfast/brunch food. I plan to come again! read more

Very good food and customer service. Definitely no complaints. But no pics either. I forgot. Server was on top of refills and even went as far as taking out the fruit that we didn't like in the fresh fruit medley!!! Poached eggs were small but cooked how they should be. Honestly, great little breakfast place! With a super clean bathroom!!! Even better!!! read more

I took Wifey and our #3 to this little joint for the first time on a rainy Saturday. For an appetizer w got the biscuits and gravy plate and it was good. For the baby we ordered Mickey Mouse pancakes and she was thrilled with it. Wifey ordered the chipotle California panini and fries. The fries were thick cut and particularly delicious. For myself i ordered the chicken omlette. Everything all around was great and the price not unreasonable. read more

My husband and I were very impressed by this place. We had an appointment nearby and got hungry afterwards, we looked up places near where we were and this place had good ratings so we decided to stop in and try it out. The restaurant is clean, the staff is courteous and attentive, the food was delicious and a nice serving size. I ordered an omelette, the eggs were soft and fluffy, not dry or over cooked; my husband ordered the berry crepes and they were delicious. Definitely going back even if it's not near our home. read more

Everything was amazing. We got the gypsy skillet add tomato and jalapeños, half order biscuits and gravy and the pancake big combo 1. Fresh quality ingredients.

We recently moved into North Berwyn and had my BFF over for a quick breakfast at home, we ordered for Brasas Pancake house and was very pleased from the beginning!! The please who answered my phone at restaurant was very friendly and polite, she gave me details of food, reviewed my options and order. My hubby went to pickup food and commented it was a nice place so we will have to dine in soon.... Food was very tasty and cooked as requested I recommend this place!!! read more

This breakfast was super tasty and the portions were perfect. I was especially excited because they had turkey bacon and turkey sausage!! My husband ordered pumpkin pancakes and they were absolutely yummy and I loved that they topped the pancakes with a couple pieces of pumpkin. I was craving a biscuit after seeing them at an event I had gone to earlier in the day, but I didn't want chicken and biscuits. They were nice enough to let me switch out my toast for biscuits. They also, have morning specials from 6-10 a.m. I'm wishing I headed there this morning for the specials, but maybe I'll stop by before work. Thank you for a wonderful breakfast. We'll be back soon! read more

Great food and staff. 6 picky eaters all loved their breakfast. Quick service. Would definitely come in again.

I couldn't help but get crepes after seeing the pictures of all the delicious crepes on the Brasas Pancake House's Yelp page. I ordered the Fruit and Granola Crepe. It was beautiful, but left me slightly underwhelmed. I kept getting bites that tasted as if they had used the same pan as when they prepared something savory (with onions?). I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more if it didn't have that flavor. My husband went for the Top of the Morning Skillet and I definitely feel like it brought this rating from the 3 I probably would have given it based on my food alone. I think it would have gotten a five star rating on its own. Our daughter has a huge sweet tooth but we couldn't keep her out of her dad's skillet! We'd go back if in the area, but would all choose savory options next time. read more

Terrible service. We arrived on a Sunday morning for brunch and the place was relatively empty. We ordered our food and had waited one hour and still havent received anything. Our server didn't come up to us at all to update us on the status of our food. We even overheard them say that our food is taking awhile. We ended up having to go up to them to let them know that we were leaving because the food is taking a ridiculously long time. They said "would you like for us to check on the food to see how much longer?" Wasn't that something you should've done 30mins ago! Don't waste your time coming here. read more

This place is amazing, I'm still eating lunch as I write this. The ambiance is lovely; cute , clean not too serious. Fireplace is comfy. Service was friendly. Food. Man. Ok. I enjoy brasas down the street for my fix of Mexican food or even for a burger. So I knew this next venture wouldn't disappoint and it didn't. I came for lunch, had the California panini. The portion size was huge, the veggies fresh and crisp, chicken juicy, bacon not over cooked. Fries were golden brown and crispy to the bite! Also ordered a cup of soup. Butternut squash was the soup of the day, definitely tasted home made, cake with a toasted mini bagel, had the slightest taste of spice on the back end, that I love all my soups to have. Very well balance. A very good meal. Can't wait to bring my mom in. read more

Very disappointing experience here today. We waited 40 minutes for our food and we were one of 3 small groups (2-3 people) in the restaurant. The waitresses were slow and inattentive. Never had our waters refilled, and they were standing behind the counter eating with their fingers while drying dishes (uh, super gross). They were also constantly walking back to the kitchen and goofing off, we could hear them all laughing. Gross, unprofessional, not coming back. read more
