It's clean, comfortably packed with happy patrons and the food could not be better. With so many breakfast choices in our easy reach it's reassuring to us to be able to eat in a place that's run by the owners who serve genuine food that they've sourced themselves. So, after all these years of making this our number one breakfast choice, we're sticking with it! It's still great!

The food came out fast enough and it's all a big portion. Everything tasted good but not great unfortunately, and my table found ourselves adding salt and pepper a lot throughout the meal. I got the veggie skillet and it just tasted like unseasoned hashbrowns with barely boiled vegetables on top and then eggs on top of that. Didn't really get the skillet part so i would recommend ordering something else. The pancakes were really good without being overly sweet too. We got customized sides and didn't even get upcharged for them! And the server did a good job of splitting the bills without too much trouble. Affordable food that does the job so overall can't complain!

Chappie's was a good find for us. It's a small, cozy restaurant in a shopping plaza that's popular…read moreamong the locals. The menu, pricing, service, and of course, the food, were good. Chappie's was a random pick for us to go have brunch at while we were in the Palatine area. Chappie's had been on my list of brunch restaurants to check out. When we got to the restaurant it was peak lunch time and the restaurant was almost 3/4 full. We got seated promptly. We took our time to look at their menu and decide as they had a good menu variety. We ordered drinks in the meantime. I got a regular coffee and a Chappieccino (cappuccino w/ Chappie's face, Chappie being their family dog, a Corgie). We ordered a Bacado Omelet w/ a side of pumpkin spice pancakes instead of regular pancakes and hashbrowns, a Huevos Rancheros, and a special of 2 Eggs x 2 Pancakes x 2 Sausage links (instead of bacon). I had the Bacado Omelet which had bacon, avocado, scallions, cheese, and I asked for chopped jalapeños which did not have an up charge. The omelet was good. I liked the way it was cooked. The hash browns were cooked to perfection. They were exactly the way I like them, crispy and soft. They also have me a fried green chili pepper (Chile Toreado) on the side which added a nice spicy taste. The specialty pumpkin spice pancakes with pumpkin puree whipped cream was really delicious. I loved its taste. The Huevos Rancheros was the best dish at the table. It was perfectly cooked with two fried corn tortillas, eggs over easy, fried beans, red salsa, and cheese. It tasted great. I liked it more than my dish. The special of 2 Eggs x 2 Pancakes x 2 sausage links was tasty as well. We had a good experience and would go back. Definitely recommended. Check it out.

Located in the heart of downtown…read morePalatine, they have a super cute patio that's perfect for enjoying a meal or drinks outside during the summer. They're known for their incredible burgers, but I love that they have a seasonal menu with great food and drink specials. There's always something new to try alongside the rotating craft beer selection. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel welcome. I recently stopped in for brunch after the Saturday Farmers Market, and it was excellent! It's the perfect way to start the weekend. The atmosphere is the best of both worlds--family-friendly while still being lively and energetic, especially if you're there to catch a game. They also have a beautiful private dining room that's perfect for hosting large parties, celebrations, showers, rehearsal dinners, corporate events, or other special occasions.

Would have loved to see happy hour or day time specials especially during the summer to bring in peeps. Very empty for Monday 2/3p during World Cup. Definitely has the potential to be a fun place. Food: Cheese Curds and spicy shrimp apps were tasty and great - 5/5. "Smashed" burger was not smashed at all lol no crispy edges and too thick for a smash burger. More like a normal double cheeseburger in my book. Added a Charred jalapeño - was awesome Onion bun also not the right vehicle for smash burger - top bun was burned and rock hard - so ate it open style with.knife and fork as a soft Potato Bun is what you ideally need for a smash burger. Really disappointing that the chef put out food with a burnt bun when the place is only 10% occupied. Burger was 4/5 but 2/5 as a "smashburger." spicy buffalo chicken wrap - 4/5 Grilled Chicken salad - 4/5 Mac and cheese -4/5 Fries were like the battered type and not crinkle or skinny. 4/5. Dip sauces were all great- good honey mustard, buffalo, blue cheese, and ranch.

First of place is ok. Parking isnt an issue and service is also ok…read more The food maybe decent but they took advantage of the party that we booked. First of all the catering food that was ordered was for 20 25 people, yes there are way more guest than that but some came late and here were no more food by the time they came. Once again thats ok because they didnt go there to eat. Example food ordered was 25 people but guest are around 35. The restaurant charged all 35 people for food even tho they only provided food for 25 people. And people who camr and dis not eat are eqsily spotted if staff wanted to count properly and pay attention. They also put out a shrimp cocktail with the buffet that has extra charge and they should have monitored this instead of putting it with the buffet food. Or not put any at all. Drinks was at their own (guest) expense and i feel like the price for the drinks were doubled. Our party had a karaoke set up and at the end they said that if we wanted to continue karaoke we can do it in the.main dining because they needed to clean the section we were in but never mentioned that they are charging for the additional time. Everything was not done upfront and clear and therefore not going back to support this place. Basically food is ok but shady transactions and CLARIFY everything before booking a party.

OK, we have downgraded it by a star and haven't visited recently because there was a server we…read morereally don't like (and I think they don't like us either), and there's no way to avoid them (don't know when they work and whether we would get assigned to them when we arrive. 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!

We stopped in for brunch on a Sunday. The dining room has a contemporary design but also has…read moreelements that remind you of the prior Baker's Square. Overall it is cheerful and comfortable but the air conditioning was cranked up a little too much making me want to leave as soon as possible. The service was friendly and attentive although we were seated next to the kitchen so we overheard many of the staff's comments as they were going in and out of the kitchen. One of the waitstaff was clearly counting down the three hours left on his shift. The food was okay. While reviewing the menu you'll like notice the low prices. While that was nice to see you do get what you pay for. For 13 dollars and change I got the VIB breakfast where you pick four items from a few different categories. I chose scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, bacon and half a waffle. The portions were small and most of the food likely only needed to be reheated to be served. We are glad we gave Village Inn a try but will likely opt for a different place next time.

I'm originally from the PNW (Seattle). Moved to SoCal 35 years back then to Chicagoland almost 3…read moreyears ago. Loved Village Inn. And even SoCal had a few until they almost all petered out. And Baker's Square closed YEARS ago in SoCal. Missed their pies and baked goods! So imagine my (pleasant) surprise when I found this little place in Palatine! I decided to head there for a brekky on a cool May morning. Stepped in, saw all the breads, pastries, and pies along the front counters- wow. I was greeted warmly and seated instantly. My waitress came right away, and I ordered unleaded (decaf for those in the know). It came in a little pot, ala IHOP, and was really, really GOOD. Wow. Decaf has come a long ways from the Sanka days! I ordered the INN-CREDIBLE V.I.B. which allowed me to order 4 yummy items of my choice - I chose the french toast (yummy and spiced just right albeit w/room temp syrup- not a deal-breaker but notable), a strawberry crepe (totally awesome strawberries, but the crepe was a bit colder than expected); scrambled eggs (always a nice stalwart) and two turkey sausage links (as with the frenchie above, nicely flavored!). The ambience was modern, updated, and felt welcoming and (thankfully) a bit familiar. Brought back some good ol' memories even if only the Baker's Square part of the menu was just pies nowadays. But the Village Inn lives on! And that counts - and I'll return. You should check it out too if you enjoy a good brekky at a classic American diner!
