Great food and people are very friendly. Restaurant is very clean and service is fast but you are not rushed.

went for breakfast and ordered crispy bacon with it. Bacon wasn't crispy but even worse it was so salty it was not eatable. They wouldn't replace it or remove it from the bill and toast ice cold and no butter. Won't be back. read more

We love Brianna's. We go to a few different locations but Elburn is our favorite. Huge portions, good food, gf options, and friendly service always makes it a win! read more

Omelet was horribly burnt, skirt steak inside was burnt beyond recognition. My wife's chicken in her salad could not be any more dry and tasteless. Son's cheeseburger was meh. Took forever to get service and the food. We got burned in Elburn. Never going back. read more

Service here is always so friendly and accommodating. Food is great! Feels like an idealistic little American diner.

Wide variety of breakfast dishes! Very well prepared. Great service. Large proportions too.

Breakfasts are amazing. Coffee is fresh and delicious Restaurant is spotless and prices are fair.

Nice breakfast restaurant in Elburn. The service is nice and food is always delicious and keeps me coming back

fine service great food i got the chicken noodle soup and it was great the noodles in the soup are very soft and when you get the soup it comes with bread read more

Everything is good everyone there is very kind and every time I go they surprise me with delicious food because nothing changes that place the truth we do not have a complaint about this business but I think they changed owners and that was for better because before even the boxes to take food charged us the other owner that I can say more I love briana's read more

So we had a group of 11. It is a smaller place and doesn't easily seat larger groups. But we managed to pull a few tables together and it worked out. If you have a larger group I would suggest coming a little later in the day. They were pretty busy. They have a lot of choices for a small diner. I had a build your own skillet and they nailed my eggs. I ordered my eggs over medium. And that is a tricky egg. Everyone in the group seemed to enjoy the food. The wait staff was courteous and got with that large of an order she double checked to make sure we had everything- we were missing an order of pancakes, but that was easily fixed. Overall it was better than average. read more

We stopped at Briana's in Elburn today for breakfast and they hit it out of the park! The fresh berry french toast was delicious, beautiful, served hot, and I even had to bring half of it home. Hubby had the senior breakfast, great value, extra egg, cooked to perfection and those hash browns?!? The ham was like a steak. I hate to give away our secret place but you gotta get here! read more

Great local place to grab something to eat. Menu covers breakfast and lunch. Honestly, I have only ordered various breakfast items which are always top notch. Best omelette around not overly large but the ingredients you choose are abundant and tasty. Crispy hash browns just add to the great experience. If you like pancakes, this is a place - light, fluffy, tasty. Coffee is always fresh and the staff is helpful and accommodating. If you've not visited, give them a visit. read more

Briana's quickly became a family favorite because of their excellent breakfast menu and great food. On my last visit however, I found that they had significantly raised their prices and apparently no longer offer free refills on the soda. At $3.50 a 'pop', that's too rich for my blood. Sadly, we will now consider alternate locations instead of automatically defaulting to Briana's. read more

The food is good but the service has really gone downhill over the past few years. We generally come with a large group (big family!) and understand that it takes some time to be seated. But they act like it's a huge inconvenience, which is not welcoming and sets a bad tone right away. Today, we were not given menus but waitress was ready to take our order? They ran out of orange juice and apparently had to go get it? A few drinks were forgotten. Just really inattentive service. Brought 1 order out at a time- with a party of 8, this meant my food was basically cold before I could eat with my family. The restaurant is small and cramped, very loud due to the open ceiling. Will probably still keep coming for now because the food is good, but their current service issues will unfortunately ruin this place. read more

We were looking for somewhere to east after a race and found this place on Yelp. There were some negative reviews for slow service but we didn't experience that at all! We were seated right away at a booth. Our server was Victoria. She was fast, kind, helpful, and friendly. I ordered the California omelet and my husband ordered a skillet. The food came out quickly and was cooked well and delicious. I don't have a baby but I'm sure moms with babies will appreciate that there is a full changing table in the ladies restroom. read more

Briana's has incredible breakfast food and the service is always great!

Met family for breakfast and was super impressed. The restaurant was very clean. Service was impeccable. I ordered the German Benedict and side of pancakes. The eggs were perfectly cooked, fruit was very fresh, and the pancakes......Oh the pancakes! they were light, fluffy, and delicious with warm maple syrup. I highly recommend this place! read more

Friendly service with lots of booth seating. Fresh fruit plate probably cut up just before it was served. Best chicken noodle soup I've ever had at a restaurant; made from scratch same day. read more

Briana's Pancake Cafe - Pancakes Near Me - Elburn, Illinois

See all

I have gone here about 10-15 times in the last year and a half and I've never left this place unsatisfied. This place is pure gas

Food was great but the service was AWFUL! Waitress came to the table and asked what we wanted to drink and I replied "coffee, please". She said "I wasn't taking to you!" Then she told me they were out of cream when I asked for more. Pretty odd because I noticed creamers on the kitchen counter when we got up to leave. Guess it didn't matter because she never offered to refill our coffee. Didn't catch her name but it's really unfortunate Briana's has an employee like her. I would go back for the food but it's not worth it based on the service we received today. read more

I truly think the food is great here.... Breakfast sliders, croissant sandwich, veggie benedict, and omelette were had by us... All well prepared and delicious. One star off for slow service when the place was not that busy. read more

Food is never cooked correctly and service is not the best. Last time I went in we were told we had to at 2:41 that they were closed but on every site and sign they say they are open until 3. I know it's only 15 minutes but if you want people out earlier then change your signs and close earlier. read more

Overall a pretty decent experience. Decent to say the least. Food was solid. No cheese on the burger. Maybe it was my fault, but maybe it wasnt. Denver hash didnt have the peppers. Other skillet was missing tortillas. Saddening, but we were hungry. So good time. Solid 4.67/10 experience. read more

Briana's is the best breakfast place in the area!! My family & I go there just about every weekend for quality food and exquisite customer service. They have a wide variety of food on the menu & are open to the possibility of making something new. This really is a great place to go and it deserves more than just the 3 stars. If you're in the area, I HIGHLY recommend trying out Brianas. read more

They have a location in S.Elgin on Randall. Served me an over cooked, inedible meal. Took two bites. Told the waitress. She said "sorry" and charged me full price. Told manager at cash register. He said "sorry" and made me pay full price. I won't go back!!! read more

This is a nice newer breakfast spot, in a strip mall.  The devote is typical of your modern brunch place. It is spacious with 14 booths and 8 tables.  There is also a countertop bar in the back, by the kitchen. It was busy around 12 on a Saturday when I visited.  They seemed slightly understaffed with 2-3 waitress and the hostess.  The staff was pleasant enough, but clearly just trying to keep thing rolling.  The coffee retail or lack there of is my bench mark of how much time the waitress kept running around.   Country breakfast 2 eggs, smoked sausage, hash browns and 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy.  The biscuits were light and fluffy. The gravy was light, and lightly seasoned.  Initially I was not that impressed over all.  Then I opened up the egg and got the mix with the hash browns and egg yolk.  This was the delectable combo I wanted. The eggs were perfectly cooked, hot and runny in the middle.  The hash browns were crispy and added just the right texture to the mix.  The sausage was pre cut into slivers and was amazing all on its own.   Over all, I will come back. read more

Elburn is kind of a food desert. There are two relatively decent restaurants downtown. Good but very small. There was also on larger "family" restaurant that has since closed that was mediocre and high priced, so when I saw this had opened, we had to try it. I had looked at the reviews regarding extra charges. These are they same as any other sit down restaurant we have dined at and, like most, I doubt enforced (sharing, etc.) Most restaurants have a "deluxe" and "Ala carte" versions of burgers and what not, however from the language of that review, I have to assume a teenager that may not be familiar with eating out.. The prices were inline with similar restaurants and the staff is extremely friendly. We went there about a week before this is being written, and know they had just opened. Our waitress was new, and almost forced being friendly however in an understandable and not obnoxious way for a new staff. The atmosphere is a inviting but nothing really of note. Things were brought out in a quickly manner and were hot. Overall, while we would not got a distance to come here, we would not hesitate if we were in the area looking for something to eat. read more

This is my first time here. Have been wanting to go but never had the chance til today. With that said i was sorry i waited so long. Had the german bennedict and loved it. My waitress was very nice and attended to me with a smile and was prompt. My food came out in a very reasonable time and i enjoyed every bite. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked. I sat in a booth and didn't get any extra charge. The menu offers many different selections and i can't wait to go back and try them. read more

Im giving Briannas 0 Stars.... NEVER ever ever will I come back and I used to come here regularly with my family.. Trust me.. I'm spreading the word.... Food is lower end.. Service is lower end.. The owner is a slob.. But here is why I will never come back and I live right down the street.. you need to bring your own take out box unless you want to be charged for it.. 25 cents.. seems like nothing but it's the principle... Soo... why don't you charge for napkins too.. How about forks... while your at it charge for the air.. how about the fart water too.. that should be 1.00.. Yummm.. Fart water and fart soda is so good with your meal.. Shame on you Briannas for being petty!!!!!! Your food is allready overpriced and I would much rather give a bum on the street 25 cents for nothing than for a Styrofoam box for my food.. Pathetic.. read more

Elburn's choices for breakfast are limited but we decided to give it a try. I ordered the Banana Nut French Toast, which was described as "our homemade Banana Nut bread". Nope, plain white bread French toast with peanuts. It was extremely disappointing. My husband ordered a Built your own skillet and it was massive but he said it is "ok" Seating is very cramped. We probably won't be going back. read more

My husband and I are regular patrons of Papa G's in Elburn but we are always open to trying new places. So when we walked into Brianna's for lunch today, we were excited at the prospect of having another eatery to frequent. But I don't think this will be it. When we entered the restaurant, we were not greeted warmly; in fact, we weren't really greeted at all. The woman at the register looked a bit frazzled and it took a few minutes before she was able to grab menus and take us to our booth. No biggie. Our waitress was a young girl (18-ish?) and it was instantly apparent that she was inexperienced. She, too, seemed a little frazzled although we were there "off hours" and there was only one other table of customers in our section. She took our drink order and then we did not see her for a good 10 minutes. When I finally caught her eye, she came over and when I said we were ready to order she said, "Oh yeah...right" and it was obvious that she had completely forgotten that we were her table. I ordered the vegetarian pita and my husband got a burger plate. Both were preceded by chicken noodle soup which was very good. But my husband's soup bowl had overspilled onto the plate below and had almost no noodles in it. My soup was packed with noodles. Both of our main entrees (a little slow to arrive) were very good. Our server did stop by to check in on us but my husband still had a chunk of meat on his plate when she breezed by again and pulled the plates off the table and handed us the check. No "can I get you anything else" or "Would you like dessert?" When we paid out check on the way out, the gal was very friendly and asked us if we lived in the area and if we liked our meal. It was the first real "warm and fuzzy" we had felt and by this point, it was coming a tad too late. Bottom line....This place just opened so perhaps they need to work out the kinks. Maybe we just hit it on an off day. read more

This place is UNBELIEVABLE The food is perfectly cooked and seasoned. The wait staff is knowledgeable plus very friendly. The owner is always cheerful and welcomes everybody with a smile!! Prices are similar to a TGIF midday menu. Totally affordable and worth their value... A m u s t visit!!! read more

Slowly going way down hill. Management believes it's okay to have egg shells served with your eggs because it was "busy". Will never return here. read more

Great place for a casual breakfast. They serve other meals as well. Menu has a large selection. Food was tasty. The way the tea is served is a little odd, its served in a coffee creamer so you only get 1 cup of hot water to steep the tea bag in, but it was fine. read more

Tried Brianna's (finally) after passing it nearly every morning on the way to the Metra. My bad. Shouldn't have waited that long. Breakfast was very good, and ran the gamut of choices. I went with the Portuguese Omelet, and hubby went with Goldilocks (wait - that doesn't sound too good - but it's true). One of the nicest things I noticed was that there was not an up charge for fruit over hash browns. NICE!!! We will be back. read more

Very good food, but the hostesses are generally slow to get to you. Regular customers.

Fast and pretty good quality there's one worries tho Jenny just make sure that's not your eateries but overall good read more

Briana's Pancake Cafe - a woman looking at a ceiling fan - Pancakes Near Me - Elburn, Illinois

We came here this morning to meet up with my in-laws for a morning of breakfast and apple picking. The food was very good. My child had mickey mouse pancakes, I had the ham and swiss crepes with delicious hollandaise sauce and my husband had pancakes. Food was delicious, the waitress we had was very friendly and had a great sense of humor. She checked up on us regularly and fixed our wobbly table without us having to say anything. My father-in-law asked for a to-go box to take his leftovers home in and guess what?! They brought him a box and there was no charge for it. There must be a competing diner near by that apparently is banking on people believing the three 1 star reviews about them charging for to-go containers. This is a cute and tasty breakfast place. Check it out especially if you're heading to or coming from DeKalb. read more

Arrived early in the morning and were the first customers. It understandably took a little time to get everything heated. Omelet was excellent, perhaps the best I've ever had. A little like warm on the biscuits and gravy but they tasted fine. Good pancakes, would recommend, perhaps a half hour after opening it more. read more
