    Biscuits and gravy
    Aleesa G.

    Lived in Niles since 1998 and this was my first time here and it will not be my last perfect spot after landing from 6am flight . Basically had the diner to myself . Walking in looks updated an repainted , the patio would be perfect for day lunch . our waitress was nice and gave us great selections . The food was fresh made to order being the first guest in food was not sitting . Early morning to yourself is probably my favorite time to go . Portions were definitely hefty and was able eat half for lunch . Can't wait to try their lunch and dinner menus .

    We came here on a Thursday night around 7pm. We were seated right away. The restaurant is pretty large and spacious with tall ceilings. They have booths and all different sizes of low tables. Our waiter was very kind and asked us right away for our drink order and came back in the perfect amount of time for our dinner order. I ordered the corned beef and cabbage special for Thursday... It came with steamed celery, potatoes,and a side of horseradish along with either a soup or salad. I picked a salad with no tomatoes and blue cheese dressing. It was basically lettuce and one large cucumber slice. It was definitely fresh and crunchy. Will definitely order this again. So delicious My husband ordered the Corned Beef Hash with pancakes and scrambled eggs. He liked it and would order it again. The weather outside was 18 degrees and it was perfect in here, not hot and definitely not cold. Will be back if we are in the area.

    Yummy prime ribs!!!!

    I have been seeing this place for awhile now and have been meaning to try. I have been herr twice and the food, the ambiance, the vibe of the place, the service are all great! Its your typical neighborhood brunch place. The first time i ordered the meat lovers skillet and their mash potato. The 2nd time i ordered the squsage egg and toast. They do have a lunch and dinner menu that I want to try sometime! This place is always packed but service is quick enough that you dont really wait that long. Parking isnt an issue as well. Lookong for a brunch spot! Try this place! Happy eating!

    One of my favorite burger place! Just what I needed to give me that midday lift. Just classic Chicago suburb gem spot.

    Side of steak - rare

    It was the second time coming here and it was quite busy on a late Sunday morning. Kappy's mid-century building looks really cool and so is the American menu and flag. There are no surprises here, just a great place for breakfast and brunch (haven't eaten here for lunch or dinner yet). Plenty of parking too, it's part of a strip mall. I've enjoyed having their fluffy omelets and fluffy pancakes. Make sure to have a glass of whole milk and live a little, along with your coffee. I got a side of steak and that was cooked perfectly and was a nice size for a side order!! We had a toddler with us as part of our dining party and they do offer crayons and even took him to the back of the kitchen to check out the action. :) Kappy's is a nice community spot, with old timers and families filling up the tables. After your meal, walk it off at TJ Maxx and Home Goods, they're in the same strip mall.

    About a 1-1.5: Kappy's has been around for years, and they offer an extensive breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu as well as catering options. We came here for breakfast, and we ordered: +the Kappy's Benedict - an eggs benedict-style with English muffins, housemade prime rib hash, poached eggs, and a Chipotle hollandaise sauce; this is served with hash browns - the prime rib hash had an off-putting odor to them - not sure if they were days/weeks old, but they were not fresh at all - you can tell by the smell of the cubed meat, and it seemed as if they reheated in some way; they were extremely dried out and stringy +a Farmers skillet - served with corned beef hash, onions, hash browns, cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses with eggs and toast of choice +a Denver Omelette - prepared with ham, green peppers, and onions, and served with hash browns and toast, or you can substitute pancakes in lieu of instead The portions are indeed generous, but the flavors were definitely lacking; adding salt, pepper, and hot sauce didn't really help. The hash browns seemed to be pre-cooked and lacked any crispiness. All the items were served lukewarm and not off-the-grill and freshly-prepared as we assumed. Our server was extremely gruff and borderline rude in terms of taking our orders and especially the tone she was using when speaking with us - is it that hard to be just nice? She also never checked-in with us throughout our dining experience, as we needed extra plates, silverware, refills on the coffee, etc. - it took some time to get our check and boxes as well, in which another friendly server actually stopped by to assist. You can tell that this is a local favorite; unfortunately, our experience didn't match. Plenty of parking in the plaza lot. +unpleasant service +odorous prime rib hash +plenty of parking in lot

It is an incredibly inviting space; very clean, very bright, and I love all the plants decorating the place to give it a bath of warmth when it could otherwise be cold and sterile. It was just me and my kiddo and we ordered a lot. She is a huge fan of pancakes so that's what she got, and I got the fig frittata. We also got the havarti hash, because it sounded really good, and it didn't disappoint. I'm not sure if I've had a frittata or omelet that is like this, with such a strong sweet profile with the savory. It was interesting. I added sausage too and it was pretty good. The hot chocolate was tasty, and they have quite a few beverage options from mimosas to juices to lattes as you might expect. I'd thought this maybe was just a juice bar with some pastries but I was mistaken. They have a full, albeit small, menu, with impressive dishes and beautiful presentation. They also have had several fundraisers in the short time they've been open. Parking is good. The parking lot *beneath* the surface lot is actually public parking, not just for the condos as I once thought. There's also public parking across the street by the library and street parking along the Northwest Highway side of the restaurant.

(Sorry, no pictures this time! I was enjoying my food so much that I completely forgot.) The ambiance is welcoming, bright, and modern, and the restaurant is much larger than I expected. Everything was clean, and our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. I ordered the Lox Plate, and it was outstanding. The salmon had the perfect texture and seasoning, the cucumbers and bagel were fresh, and all of the flavors paired together beautifully. I love seeing lox on a menu, but many restaurants either don't do it well or serve portions that are too small. Here, everything was spot on, and the portion was generous enough that I left completely satisfied.

That said, there are so many options, particularly for this vegetarian and egg hater. Pro tip: Make a reservation! The place had a solid wait from the time we arrived until we left. Service was ok, spotty at bits, but I also attribute it to the place being busy. We had to ask a second time for some missing items. To eat, I got the berry crepes and a side of hash browns with cheese. My friend got the eggs Benedict with a side of pancakes. The crepes were very good, but I preferred the bites without the berry mascarpone filling. The side of pancakes my friend got was huge, this would be plenty as a main. They are very good at accommodating larger parties, but do wait to seat you until your party is all there.

We arrived early for our reservation and were taken right in. We ordered two appetizers, the bacon & potato croquettes and the corn bread in the iron skillet. They were both very good. I had the Prime Rib, it was flavorful and brought out exactly how I wanted it--rare. My daughter had the rotisserie chicken and was very pleased with her meal. My wife had the Pike Place Salmon with the smashed cucumbers. She would order it again. The skillet cookie we ordered to share for dessert was very undercooked. It was just a smidgeon over raw dough. While it had the ice cream, it didn't have the caramel the menu advertised. A few more minutes in the oven would have solved the raw dough issue The server was obviously new and had some missteps. He was late to greet the table in a half full restaurant. The drinks had a late arrival-after the appetizers had arrived and never came back to check on the table. It also took an inordinate amount of time to find him to get the check then having him return with the receipt. The restaurant was very clean and tidy, extra points given for having immaculate restrooms. Some suggestions: Perhaps another potato option(s) besides mashed or fries.
