Went in for a breakfast/brunch and was happy to see that the Walker Brothers brand hasn't changed…read more It's very old school looking, and may looked dated, but that's what makes Walker Bros awesome. I love the stained glass windows and lamps! OK, we ordered the Apple Cinnamon Pancake which is nice and big and almost like a monkey bread, but not too sweet. We also ordered our standard eggs. They have turkey sausage, which is a plus for those that don't eat pork. I enjoyed poached eggs and corned beef hash, well done, of course. It doesn't come with hashbrowns, but we ordered some and they were delicious. If you order toast with your meal, it comes with a side of butter and jelly. Not sure if they make the jelly in-house, but I was happy with it all. Our service was good, the bussers are always quick to fill you up with water and clear your plates. They were very nice and awesome. I enjoyed coming here and suggest everyone come and try their specialty pancakes. It's really worth it.

I haven't been to a location in almost 10 years so suffice to say I was very excited to come back! I got my usual signature berry bliss waffle and it was delightful. However it was outshined by the strawberry colada smoothie that was DEMOLISHED. My husband killed the cookie dough waffle, he got an espresso, and I ordered a side of bacon and another smoothie to go it was THAT GOOD!! I'm pretty sure we were greeted by the manager and assistant manager. Great service, great and BUSY location (I suspect they all are like this. They're just wonderful!) My husband said I didn't overhype it (even though I was drooling while I was describing this place to him lol) that it was a good call and he would go again. :) We'll see you next time! Thank you for the best trip down memory lane.

It was a Sunday so we anticipated a bit of a wait and fortunately put our name on the waitlist…read moreprior to heading that way. Upon arriving we were told what our additional wait would be and it was within the parameters of what was communicated when we initially joined the waitlist. We were waited on promptly and put in our orders. I am a country fried steak fan and ordered that with hash browns and eggs over easy. There were ample hash browns cooked very nicely and the country fried steak was tender and well seasoned. It had a bit of a black pepper flavor. I also paid a bit extra for specialty pancakes because I am a huge fan of the red velvet pancakes. They are sweet and decadent but I can never pass up the opportunity. My daughter ordered the Açaí bowl which was a large portion and had ample ingredients with fruit and granola. It was nicely frozen and fresh. It was more than enough to fill her. They offer a nice selection of beverages and I took advantage of the Bloody Mary that was flavorful and tasty. The ambience is welcoming and vibrant and the staff collaborates nicely to make sure your needs are met. Solid and attentive service but no intrusive. A very solid choice for breakfast with plenty of choices to select from.

The Avocado Toast comes with a large serving of spring mix, tomatoes and cucumbers with a raspberry dressing that was to die for. The service was above and beyond anything we've recently experienced. Everyone seemed to love their jobs and genuinely happy to have us there. Our waitress was so welcoming and friendly. My husband describes it like this, "it was like going to a surprise party in our honor". I know it sounds over the top, but it was remarkable enough for me to take the time to write this. Eating out has become so expensive that it's more of a treat and when your experience is positive like this, I think it's important to point out.

We ordered the Bavarian French toast and the sausage links and eggs for breakfast. The French toast was made with very standard ingrediants.

Unfortunately what was memorable was the high prices we paid.

When we checked in, they told us the wait was 40 minutes. I have no idea what happened but they actually seated us in 14 minutes. The place was totally packed. It's very cute and it's decor and ambience. However, something really weird is happening with the ceiling tiles so not sure if that needs any type of attention or repair. The place is pretty expensive as well. The menu is decent for choices with lots of different choices frankly. What I don't like about the menu is that with some of the orders it literally only comes with one sausage link, which I thought was weird and it doesn't even give you the option for Patty or an option for more sausage links in the order you have to order it on the side. When the dishes came, it was also weird was that the bacon was as thin as paper so that was really a letdown hence part of the four stars. Our waitress though was absolutely fantastic very attentive. She did forget a couple things but that's OK. It was a hectic morning. I don't mind that and it doesn't bother me. The pancakes are delicious. Definitely do not taste like overly floured, which is great. I would come back, however I will also say that the Arlington Heights area has a lot of brunch breakfast places, and in order to stay relevant you have to be competitive and really up your game whether it's on the food quality the location the service something that really makes you stand out ahead above the rest.

Another strong option in a crowded Arlington Heights brunch market. This spot has some street…read moreparking outside the restaurant, but there's parking garages nearby that make it easy to park by here even if you have to walk a little bit. The decor is breakfast appropriate, not most decorated spot -- but good enough. Furniture is fairly comfortable as well, and the inside is not too loud even when fairly busy. Service is fairly frequent, and friendly. The menu prices here are very competitive, especially considering their location. Portion sizes are fairly large, though not enormous - but you can get sides such as biscuits and gravy, or fruit for the same price that you'd normally get toast. You can also get specialty pancakes for a small upcharge. The food here is prepared fairly well -- I enjoyed my corned beef hash skillet which wasn't too salty and wasn't overly oily. It was probably a bit simple in terms of preparation, but the ingredient quality was pretty good and the mix of flavors was good. The biscuits are quite fluffy here, with a gravy that's not too thick and not overly salty or peppery. The tiramisu pancakes were decorated very nicely, though the toppings and sauce were not bad -- but not as special as some other preparations I've had. The pancakes themselves were fairly spongy, though slightly dry. Overall, I am a fan of the menu here with lots of different sweet and savory options to fit everyone, and prices that are very reasonable for this area.

Egg Harbor Cafe in Arlington Heights, IL on Wing St…read more Sometimes the best breakfast spots are the ones that don't try too hard. Egg Harbor Cafe is a no-frills place tucked into a larger building on Wing Street, and honestly, that's part of its charm. Parking is usually right out front. You might circle the block once or twice on a busy morning, but there always seems to be enough spots to go around. The outside looks nice enough, but nothing prepared me for the pleasant surprise inside: the food is genuinely tasty, and the variety on the menu gives you plenty of reasons to come back and try something new. You can tell this place has a loyal following. Regulars seem to stream in like it's part of their morning routine, and after one visit, I understood why. Good food, a clean space, and a comfortable, welcoming feel. I'll definitely be back, and if you're in Arlington Heights looking for a solid breakfast, you should join the regulars too.

I won't get into the details but this staff kind of gives us attitude and questions our choices and also gets our orders wrong even tho we always order the same things. They just don't seem like they want to be there, and it is just a bit off putting. Having said that, we do occasionally still stop by. We have ventured out to try stuff that's NOT waffles. The kids liked the small quesadillas i think-- not greasy and nice plain flavors, easy to please the kids. My oldest really liked the tuna melt and it was good, and generous portions. Easy to split with the other kids. The ironman in comparison is so tiny and not worth the price-- which is really just paying for the "health" aspect of it. I get it. Overall, the foods are still really good, we just don't really like having to gamble with who our server is that day!

They proudly claim to offer "The Biggest Breakfast" and they are true to their word! Since they offer ZERO fruit, I ordered a side of hash browns, which were served as a triple-sized portion. They seemed to be prepared in grease, not oil, and I found them inedible after 2 bites. My husband, who is a big, tall guy and could eat breakfast for every single meal, said that his omelette must have been made out of a dozen eggs. There was a "greasy" texture to all of his food and he found it inedible as well. This place offers some kind of ham that he was excited to try, but he spat it out into his napkin. The good?
