Steak & eggs plate
Alex F.

Absolutely fantastic brunch experience. Cute atmosphere, and just amazing food that you wouldn't have seen coming. Super helpful and friendly staff, as well! For starters, I don't even know where else around the SW Chicagoland area you can get a shakshouka! The tomato sauce was perfect; not too up front, not too acidic or spicy or tangy, just blending in really nicely with the eggs. I had shared that along with their steak & eggs where you get a beautifully seasoned steak cooked how you like; with a glorious array of potatoes, eggs, a nice little salad, some gorgeous toast, and some beautifully cooked sun-dried tomatoes hiding sneakily underneath the steak. The flavors all compliment each other very nicely, like a team that works really well together. Considering we were having brunch there, we also had to get the Turkish coffee. That alluring blend of spices and strength, this Turkish coffee does not dispoint. I also enjoyed the glass it was served in This place may be easy to miss location-wise, so treat yourself to some wonderful food here.

Stumbled across this little gem today! Such a lovely place. The staff is super sweet and very helpful. Love that the food is organic. The coffee is pour over coffee and delicious couldn't leave without also trying the tea! I will definitely stop back in when I come back through

Bacon and eggs
Rhea A.

It's a lovely restaurant with very welcoming staff. We went on a Saturday for brunch, and it was practically empty. My family ordered the Ethiopian dish, corn beef sandwich, bacon and organic egg, and grass fed steak with organic eggs. The grass fed steak had too much vinaigrette, and soaked the marbled toast at the bottom, which overwhelmed the overall flavor of the dish. The steak was well cooked though, and flavorful. We enjoyed the rest of our dishes. We hope to see more variety on their menu. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

Chicken noodle soup

Delicious and kind ingredients. It was our son's birthday and they brought out a candle and dessert.

Zip and I

A hidden gem in Palos! I found this cafe while looking for a new place to have an afternoon lunch. When I walked in, wow!!! That's what I thought! Just wow. I felt like I had been transported to another country! It was beautiful! Hanging plants cascading from the ceiling, a variety of table seating options both indoor and outdoor. We chose a nice seating by the window in comfy chairs to look over the menu. We looked at the wide assortment of coffee available and teas and a menu that was curated with wholesome, organic, grass fed and wild caught meat and fish. I chose the broccoli quiche with pour over coffee and zip chose grass fed meat and organic eggs with roasted potatoes with a pumpkin chai latte. Our waitress was very helpful and really sweet. She delivered our meals, made my pour over coffee and wished us an enjoyable meal. Everything was EXCELLENT! The quiche, perfectly cooked melted away at first bite and the steak, medium well was very well cooked and juicy. Both coffees were also excellent!! I somehow finished an entire carafe of pour over all on my own! We will definitely be back to try other things on the menu and enjoy the wonderful ambiance.

Bacon and spinach quiche
Elizabeth M.

Amazing food & service! The environment is cozy and peaceful. Everything is freshly made and super tasty!! I'll definitely be back for more!!

Ginger Tea

I am so happy Genettis was recommended to us. The cafe has a range of light dishes, breakfast and Ethiopian meals. First, the cafe is breathtakingly gorgeous, can't wait to visit back in the Spring and Summer. Perfect for meetings, brunch dates and family gatherings. Service was phenomenal couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Organic Chicken and Smoked Salmon sandwiches.

Fantastic food and ambiance. The owner is one of the kindest and most polite business owners in Palos. Must try.

Ginger tea

Exceptional service, fresh and delicious breakfast. French toast was out of this world . I had ginger n mint tea it was delicious and just what I needed . Beautiful and relaxing ambience .

Food was great! Service stellar. Very nice and cozy. Interior looks like it came from a book on Italy.

Spinach and Bacon Quiche

Today, I had the pleasure of enjoying brunch here with my mother in law. I'd driven past a few times and was interested in trying out someplace new. The interior is decorated beautifully , the staff were attentive and kind and the food was delicious. We were able to enjoy their fruit flavored refreshers, green tea and Ethiopian coffee. Every drink was deliciously crafted and presented nicely. We shared one of their daily quiches and French toast and were impressed by both. I can't wait to visit again and bring someone else !

Interior was adorable and cozy

Franklin's Public House is such a solid spot in Palos. Parking was super easy, which is always a…read morewin, and the atmosphere is cozy while still feeling a little elevated, perfect for a relaxed dinner that still feels special. The food was excellent across the board. The standout for me was the short rib entrée, so tender, rich, and full of flavor. My brother ordered the kids' sliders with mashed potatoes and absolutely loved them, which is always a good sign. My boyfriend got the Great American burger melt on a pretzel bun, and it was also delicious--super satisfying and cooked perfectly. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and everything came out on time. Drinks were well-made, and the menu does a great job of balancing comfort food with elevated pub classics. Overall, an easy go-to spot that we'll definitely be back to.

I'd like to go back and revisit once they change the menu. Drinks were tasty, but my husband got…read morethe brisket Mac and cheese, and it was hella watery. I got the brisket quesadilla and it was just served on a wooden cutting board. I was trying hard not to make mess on my shirt and the table. It was 4 pieces of quesadilla absolutely loaded with toppings. While it tasted good, I don't know why a plate wasn't offered. Server was nice, I just feel like food wise, we didn't order well. Then there was the live music for the night....he seemed to play a variety, and his variety was decent for the most part. But when he did country (our least favorite), I felt like that came out louder.

Ambiance, a very warm atmosphere. Rooftop Tap was a hit for everyone (17 ppl) Everyone had a great time and are already talking about coming back again. Frank...Terri...

The waiter (a younger woman) sighed and brought the drinks When my mom asked for another drink the waitress looked at her "I need to get out of this fucking place" and proceeded to have her BOYFRIEND who doesn't even work there bring the check to my parents. My mom asked if they did something to upset her and her boyfriend replied "she's having a bad day" I've NEVEr experienced such awful behavior from someone who can't even do the basics of their job. We will never be back and I hope this place goes out of business sooner than later.

Food was fresh and authentic! Gyro meat was cooked to perfection, tender and the best in the area…read morehands down! Greek music playing - makes you want to dance! Spot on service and very polite, friendly and fast! The decor is tranquil like your sitting outside at a table enjoying a meal home cooked by YiaYia! The kids menu was perfect even though we didn't order from it. We were there for lunch and the appetizers are enough for two people. The olive oil is so fragrant, the bread is fresh baked and amazing. I wish I would've tried the stuffed pepper soup, but Avgolemono is my favorite. I just wish they had a generous bowl of Youvetzi that was flavored with lamb shank!!! It's my go to Greek comfort food - My YiaYia's was the best! I will have to return to sample their desserts! I hope my favorite is on the menu... Galaktoboureko!

This is going to be a mixed review because my husband loved it and I thought it was "OK"…read moreThe staff is very pleasant and courteous and the place is very clean. The floor was very slippery around our table and for someone unsure of their step, this made me very nervous. Started with saganaki and lemon soup. My husband thought they were both delicious, unfortunately I thought the cheese was lacking and the soup was not think enough. There were huge pieces of chicken in it though. I had the special - Youvarelakia - which are the herbed meatballs in lemon sauce. The meat was "very herb-y" to the point of almost overwhelming the meat taste. Once again, the sauce was too think for my liking. Husband had the Youvetsi and thought it was delicious. We both brought leftovers home
