I had never heard of this place before a friend suggested brunch here. I decided to get a skillet, and it was good but not anything to write home about. For the service, it felt rushed. The server seemed to expect we immediately would know what to order, however between the large menu and catching up with my friend, it took some time to decide. The restaurant wasn't busy, so there wasn't really a reason for him to rush us. Overall, nice, typical brunch restaurant. read more

Didn't even stay. Chirping siren sound pervades restaurant. "Can that sound be stopped?" "I think it's the fan." So.....No. If that's the level of facility maintenance and care for customers, the rest can't be better. read more

Came here from the recommendation of a friend who has lived in the area for a while and the food here did not disappoint! This place will probably become one of my favorites soon as the prices were quite fair for the huge portion size, the interior was comfortable, and all the options on their menu looked delicious. The service was also quick and friendly throughout and I was able to be seated without having to wait during the late morning. For me, the preparation is definitely in the zone of comfort food. The banana cream pie pancakes were creamy and rich without being excessively sweet. The banana flavor really came out well here and the pancakes were nice and fluffy with the slightest hint of malt. Similarly the chocolate chip pancakes were fairly loaded with chocolate chips on top, tied together with a strong dose of chocolate syrup. The meat lovers skillet was as advertised with plenty of cheese and potatoes and a mix of sausage, ham, and bacon. This wasn't overly salty or oily however despite all the components in the dish. The crispy chocolate peanut butter stuffed french toast was really a treat for the dessert lover in me. I was surprised at how crispy the dish was and I think that the peanut butter was slightly seared and a little melty which created a delicious combination right out of the kitchen. This really inspired me to try the standard stuffed and apple stuffed french toast as well, which I expect to prepared equally as well. Overall, great experience and great prices will have me coming back here in the future. It's not overly fancy, but the strong execution of breakfast favorites provide a satisfying experience. read more

My husband and I went to Double Yolk Pancake House with a friend after he recommended going there. This restaurant has a clear police/military theme. This restaurant has some amazing food, which you would expect if it is frequented by first responders. I was going to get a pancakes or waffle dish before my husband suggested the French toast. And I'm glad that he did. I had the Crispy Chocolate Peanut Butter Stuffed French Toast. The French toast had a crispy corn flakes crust. The chocolate and peanut butter sauce on top was a wonderful addition. It didn't require any syrup. Our server checked in on us frequently. We had a really good meal for a really good price. I highly recommend Double Yolk Pancake House! read more

No Gluten Free pancake mix, no non-dairy cooking spray today. Wife has food allergies. Big time. Dairy. Gluten. Dining out sucks for her. Was happy to find some time ago that Double Yolk has non-dairy gluten free pancakes. For a bonus - toss some blueberries in the batter and she's a happy girl. Not today. Was told that the restaurant was out of gluten free pancake mix. OK, I get that - stuff gets back-ordered. Sucks, but it happens. Time to execute plan B. A couple of eggs, cooked in non-dairy cooking spray. Told that they can't do that - only available cooking spray contains butter ("butter flavored" means "has dairy"). And showing no flexibility or imagination from the kitchen - there was no offer to cook them in alternative things like vegetable or olive oil. Not one peep, not one word from the kitchen or manager. That's called failed service, a missed opportunity to satisfy the customer. So no eggs or breakfast for her. So - we're probably done with Double Yolk. Don't want to be the customer that has to call before hand to see if you have the items we want to order in stock in your kitchen. And you're the chef, I shouldn't have to tell you that there are acceptable cooking alternatives in your kitchen. You made it clear to us today that our business is not important to you. Update to manager/owner's comment: issue with asking about the cooking spray is to avoid instances of cooking with butter or other oils/etc. that contain dairy. Our experience is that most restaurants have spray oils in their kitchen. Using straight oil would not, in our case, have presented a health issue - consuming something with dairy would be. Please don't make assumptions - if there's a way to satisfy the customer's order - please confer with the customer to verify if that's acceptable. Better in my book than just saying "sorry..." That's where you ultimately failed today. Re: our server - she was great - she made every effort to go back to the kitchen to satisfy our order - this was out of her hands. read more

Excellent service on a Saturday morning. Food comes with such large portion sizes. Highly recommend the French connection. Server was friendly and attentive. Never an empty cup of coffee! read more

Food was awesome! Pancakes were 3 huge very thick tasty pancakes. Service very attentive. Busy but friendly. We met friends there we had not seen in a while and were able to sit and chitchat for a couple of hours without being hustled out. To be able to sit there was very relaxing and not stressful. read more

Double Yolk Pancake House Restaurant - Lemon blackberry pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

Decent breakfast spot. We stopped in one morning for a quick breakfast after seeing the generally favorable reviews. The restaurant wasn't crowded so we were seated immediately. I can't recall our waitresses name, but she did her job. She wasn't very friendly and didn't provide service with a smile or anything though. She just had a very matter-of-fact, robotic like demeanor like it was just another blah day on the job for her. I opted for the hungry man breakfast. It came with bacon, sausage (patty and link), eggs, hash browns, and toast. I didn't care for the sausage, but everything else was pretty good. Nothing spectacular or anything, but it was edible. My sister had the french connection which was french toast, eggs, sausage and bacon. She liked her food sans the sausage... My mom also had the french toast with a side of bacon. They wouldn't allow her to substitute Texas toast (bread) for raisin bread though. She frequently makes this requests because she likes her french toast made with raisin bread and it's never an issue. It was strange that this place doesn't allow it. The portion sizes are very generous though and the place was clean with a nice ambiance. Overall the experience was cool, but I don't plan on returning anytime soon. read more

My co-worker and I were craving breakfast/brunch. She suggested ordering from Double Yolk. It was conveniently located from work. Decided to try it out for the first time. I can say food & service was good. The lady that took my order was polite and friendly. I ordered the mini waffles that were topped with fresh fruit. Would've liked the waffle to be a little crispy. My co-workers food was just right! Staff/cooks forgot to add butter and syrup to my order. I called immediately and staff member was very apologetic. Asked if I wanted or could come back to get it. I told her I couldn't as I was at work. She was nice enough to comp me for that. I appreciated that she did that for me. I would definitely order from here in the future because of the good customer service experience!!! read more

Double Yolk Pancake House Restaurant - Mini Waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

awesome food and service, they have a great menu served hot and fresh. Show your support by patronizing them.

Food was very decent. I ordered stuffed tomato (chicken salad) with the fruit salad. Tons! Friend had just a side of corned beef hash and rye (huge!) and one omelette... one chop dtesk. Not one complaint. Waitress was fast but not pushy. They weren't hopping but she respected we wanted to dally. Friend had never been there, but usually "rates" like he's a food critic. Gave it a 19. I agree. read more

The food is good. But the water tastes very moldy! When we told the server, they didn't seem concerned. Just took the water and said "sorry it's the city water." So be sure to bring your own water bottle if you don't want to pay for the overpriced drinks. read more

It's five stars on value alone. Two of us stuffed to the gills for $20 + tip. Add good food, huge menu, friendly staff, and proximity to outlet mall - ring the bell, we have a winner!! We ordered two different omelettes, they were big 'uns. Fresh ingredients and cooked just right. So big in fact, we probably could have split one just fine given the side items. Omelette comes with hash browns or American potatoes, filling but just okay. The best side item were the pancakes. Biscuit and gravy was average: peppery gravy kinda lukewarm with biscuit of the store bought variety. Anyway, I digress. Five stars on eggcelent omelettes and good service at good value. read more

One of the best.I am sorry to say this. Have always liked Double Yolk, but last Sunday My wife and I had an Egg Benedict meal that was up to your usual standards. The White's were very fluid and the Sauce was flat with no lemon in it. I will Stil come back but I certainly will not order the Egg's Benedict again read more

My wife and I found this place, and we're happy with the cornbeef hash. It had a homemade Lk and taste. The best I had in a while, and a good portion too, and we were surprised it came with other choices of sides with it, the waitress was very friendly (Trinity) and got the egg order right (and you do get double yolks) if you got taste for cornbeef hash this is the place you won't be disappointed at double Yolk restaurant you must try if you're in the area read more

Best breakfast ever. My server was Jen and she is very friendly and quick. I have also had Michelle as a server and she is great. Huge portions and I always have plenty of leftovers. The owner Tammy came over to make sure everything was going well. The greek skillet is fantastic. I cannot wait to go back. read more

Brunch here was great! The restaurant was very bright, clean and modern. We got a nice comfy booth in the corner. There were tons of options on the menu. The food was good, the service was good, and the checkout went ok. I asked the cashier to split the bill on 2 different cards and she nodded like she understood, but in the end the entire bill was put on one card. Crazy Monkey Waffle $8 - I was impressed with the Crazy Monkey Waffle. The combination of waffles covered in delicious peanut butter sauce topped with bananas and chocolate chips was perfect. I'm not even a huge PB fan, but there was just the right amount of PB here. Eggs Benedict $9 - These were pretty good. Nice sauce and eggs were done right. Large fresh squeezed OJ $3.50 Side of Bacon $2.50 read more

Despite being 5th on the wait list and being given an estimated wait time of approximately 15 minutes, my companion and I were seated in less than 5 minutes. The atmosphere for Sunday brunch is light, bright and lively. Our food order was on the table within 15 minutes. That's pretty good. We had to request water at our table. That should be standard. Bathroom is small but clean. Had a fella lurking behind me waiting for the urinal, with an open privy ... really just use the privy. No reflection on Double Yolk, however. The food is well prepared and flavorful! Portions are large, so don't over-order. If you're looking for a good Sunday brunch, you will find it here. read more

Great breakfast and brunch spot, with extensive menu and friendly servers. Poached eggs were perfectly done!! Coffee excellent and served in biggest restaurant cup ever. I will definitely go back! read more

Pretty mediocre meal. Good, friendly staff and hostess though. The biscuits and gravy were kind of cold when they came out and lacked flavor. Side of bacon was good as were the hash browns. Country fried steak was decent but nothing to write home about. Friend ordered the Florentine Benedict and seemed to like it. read more

I was recommended to come here because it's a popular community-oriented brunch place. The service is great and the menu has a lot of options. I ordered Irish style waffle (basically corned beef on top of waffle and egg). The food is delicious hut definitely heavy for breakfast, and the portion is large and I only finished half. The service is top notch!! I really like the restaurant and it's a great place to visit. read more

Double Yolk Pancake House Restaurant - Double Yolk - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

My husband and I (6'3" and 6'1" respectively, and not "tiny" people haha) got seated at the smallest table I had ever been stuck at in my life. Our coffee cups fit, and that was about it. I had to keep silverware on my lap for lack of anywhere else to place it. The place was packed with extremely loud children. I know they can't help it, but that's not what I hope for at 9am on a Sunday morning. Maybe it was the weird back room we were placed in (which was also freezing), but who knows. The coffee was alright. It was your typical lacking-flavor diner coffee. But it was refilled often so that's alright. I had the Greek skillet, and I found the flavor to be really lacking. There was hardly any gyro meat, when other restaurants have really piled it on before. I got one tiny cup of tzazitki sauce, which sparingly made it through half the skillet. The pancakes seemed like they were straight out of a box mix, which I can do myself and pay a lot less for. I don't think our waitress smiled once (probably all the screaming kids), but she wasn't rude at all either. I'm happy we ventured out to a new breakfast spot, but unfortunately we will not be returning. Also, they advertise gelato but certainly did not have any in the freezers. Maybe it's only a summer thing? Or the inventory is kept in the kitchen? Might not be something to have your hopes set on! read more

Double Yolk Pancake House Restaurant - Our very tiny/cluttered table. Greek skillet had hardly any gyro meat on it. Sadly will not return here. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

I have been going here for years. Since Tammy has taken this restaurant over the quality of the food is amazing. Since Covid-19 happened, we've been staying at home, but decided to visit today and picked up our meals and went to the Fox River out at Fabyan Park and ate and watched nature and listened so some zen music. I tell ya, it was perfection. I love all of their food. The service is amazing and even the pick up is amazing. These guys do an amazing job!!! Please tip heavily during this time and stop in and support them. Their food is killer and so is the service. :) Thank you Tammy for all you do for the community. You rock!!! read more

The servers were very friendly and attentive. everything we got was very tasty. their coffee is pretty good. the sauce for the berry salad was amazing and the ingredients were very fresh. the greek skillet was delicious, the hash browns were crispy and the gyro meat was really flavorful. the pancakes were delicious. we took a while to dig into them but when we did, they were still warm. they weren't too sweet, and the caramel adds the perfect amount of sweetness to it. it tastes just like apple pie but in the form of perfectly fluffy pancakes. the portion sizes were great. the tables were decently sized, the seating was comfortable. it wasn't too loud or noisy, and there wasn't any annoying music blasting. the bathrooms are also clean. overall great experience! read more

We love Double Yolk and we found out WHY it is called Double Yolk too! You get double eggs! I ordered 2 eggs and was given 4! YAY, what a fun concept! Nice added bonus to find this when I opened the box. Also, their coffee is super delish! Not sure what kind it is but grab a cup of coffee while your there to!

I love their breakfast and the portion size is great; we always have extra to take home.

Come here for the first time. Saturday morning at 10 expecting a wait and bad service. Surprised at being seated immediately. We had a party of 5. Service was terrific. Food was hot and plentiful. Coffee cups were never less than half full. Some one was always filling them up. Great place. Will definitely be back soon read more

Greek diner feel. I've been here a several times already and the service here is good they're friendly and nice. The food is pretty good and according to they're name 1 egg comes with 2 yolks sorta of say "if you order 2 eggs you get 4". For some reason parking here gets packed for breakfast and kinda sucks because there's not enough parking. They is additional parking in the back too though. We had the gyro omelet with potatoes (yummy but lacked on presentation) and 2 eggs sausage links (big portions) with biscuits and gravy (not that good). read more
