Excellent fresh cooked food, attentive service, comfortable decor. All in all, a very pleasant dining experience.

Came to Le Peep for brunch on a Tuesday. I appreciated that they had bottomless coffee and quick service. I ordered a salmon Benedict which I thought would be smoked but it was more like a baked salmon Benedict. I wanted to sub my hash browns for fruit but our waiter said they don't make modifications, which I thought was odd. I was able to try my friend's French toast which was amazingly soft and light -- I would definitely get that next time. read more

The service was good and ambiance was very homey and calm. Do not get the Desperado skillet it is like a puddle of water and slop. The sourdough English muffin had such a bad smell I almost threw up. Please stick with pancakes and hash browns, my partner loved them. The coffee was decent. read more

Solid breakfast joint in Evanston. Came with two others. I had the dish with Avocado, egg, English muffin, hash browns. It was pretty spot on. Nothing bad to add. Just a tad bland. Otherwise it was good. Avocado was healthy and great. Whole dish was hearty and blood pumping actually. I'd recommend. Definitely hope to swing by again. read more

Always stop here for breakfast when in Evanston. The service is great, the food is great. You can't go wrong. I recommend the Baja Benedict. Always a personal favorite. read more

One of the breakfast joints in Evanston that open the earliest. Also one of the busiest. Le Peep has everything on their menu to please everyone. Big diner style servings. Super flexible and adaptable! Great service. You won't get anything super different, but it's a predictable breakfast joint that delivers and hits the spot when you just want good ol breakfast or brunch options. read more

A good breakfast spot. I recommend the Colorado omelette, it's really good. Turkey bacon tomato & cheese

@le_peep is one of our favorite places to go to for breakfast, brunch, & lunch with each other and our loved ones! There is so much to choose from when it comes from making decisions about what to eat and their coffee is OUTSTANDING!!!! Here we have the Mini Greek Goddess Omelette with a fruit salad, and an English muffin on the side. Along with a Belgian Waffle Combo with scrambled eggs, hash browns, and turkey sausage could honestly eat here everyday! Definitely a must if you ever come across it! The service is always so fast and the ambiance is so cute and relaxing! read more

My wife and I used to take the kids to Saturday brunch at LePeep every week for at least 12 years. We stopped going for the past year and a half. The food was good, but the fountain diet coke was off (too much carbonation and not enough syrup and a funny light brown color). Today we decided to not go to our new spot and try LePeep again. The food had improved and the fountain diet coke was on point. I think we'll have to start going to start putting LePeep back into the mix when thinking about Saturday brunch. Love that Tex Mex Burger!!!! read more

Very good omelets and pancakes plus we seniors get a discount and earn a free meal after 10 visits I just love the fact I can come back and get points for my favorite breakfast coffee also good I bought a bag for my friend try this place good atmosphere too servers and main lady host polite to handicapped people I use walker read more

Was seated immediately. Waited 20 minutes for anyone to come to my table. It was a bus boy who noticed I hadn't been helped. He did get me a Diet Coke. He came back about 10 minutes later after he noticed I had not ordered. He took my order. 20 more minutes no food. No check in "it's on its way, need a refill" nothing. The actual waiter never greeted my table and continued to assist the other around me. I finally had to leave for my hair appt. Sad part is I left my house in the city early ONLY so I could eat here. AWFUL and I was legit sad about it. Now I'm starving and my hair will take awhile! read more

We have been to Le Peep multiple times now and every time it's been delicious and efficient. My husband and I have ordered the avocado toast, pancakes, lobster benedict, chopped salad, omelettes and everything has been perfect. The coffee and orange juice is yummy and we are in and out in no time flat - we love this place! We have eaten in and carried out, both options with very friendly and welcoming staff. The last time we visited their A/C was on the fritz, but that was I think the only issue we have encountered (and it wasn't really an issue) read more

The most average breakfast ever. Good but nothing amazing. Restaurant can get really crowded and it's not worth the wait. read more

Back again at Le Peep, not by choice, a friend suggested we meet up for breakfast. Amazing location, other than that you'll experience cheap food at inflated prices. We both ordered the Avocado toast, with 2 eggs you're looking at close to $20 each. For avocado toast to work the 1 bread 2 avocados need to be fresh, this was not the case. Packaged bread and pre-made guacamole-like avocado spread served as the foundation for this clunker. On the positive, it's hard to f-up scrambled eggs. read more

Coming on the weekends can get pretty busy. This breafast place is open morning until early afternoon. The food however is always delicious, made from scratch. They have limited paid parking in the front and sides of the restaurant. The ambiance of this place is very family like. Again the parking around this place can be a challenege. I settled for the Triple Decker, a tasty turkey sandwich, your choice of pairing it up with soup or their tasty crispy waffle fries. read more

I've been to Le Peep a couple times for brunches and the food is just fine. The first time I came here, I was absolutely starving and ordered an avocado toast only to be devastated to be served a plate of literally two pieces of toast with avocado on top. This time, my egg / spinach toast at least tasted better, but again, nothing I couldn't make myself at home. For an Evanston brunch, I would rather get Ovo Frito. Dined: February 26, 2022 read more

I've passed Le Peep countless times since moving to the area and today I finally made it in for Sunday brunch. Just before noon, there was no wait time for a party for 2, and I think we had Northwestern being on winter break to thank for that. Even parking was a breeze, which was shocking to me. I ordered the Lumberjack's Breakfast (2 eggs, potatoes, choice of bacon/sausage/turkey sausage, 2 pancakes), while my boyfriend ordered the Eighteen Wheeler (basically the same but with French Toast instead of Pancakes). It's hard for me to be disappointed in breakfast food, but the pancakes were just missing something. They were still good, just not the best. The service was great, though, and it's a chill atmosphere for a casual weekend brunch. read more

~Monica's T.A.S.T.E. Test~ Taste: I had a summer special called the Roma scramble with a side of potatoes and English muffin, and Nate Had the pancake of the month which was peaches and cream. Both were so delicious. Pro tip to ask for the potatoes extra crispy as usually they are slightly undercooked. This made all the difference! Atmosphere: We've been here before and sat inside in the cold winter which is pleasant but nothing spectacular. Sitting outside in the summer breeze made this breakfast unreal! I loved drinking coffee and relaxing outside with the prospect of food coming. Service: Our waiter was absent most of the time, but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing as we got our food and everything we needed was already on the table. I like that it's diner style where they leave the check and you pay upfront, makes it feel not rushed. Tab: we reached the 10 "clucks" and got one free meal, so awesome discount there for repeat customers. That with the northwestern discount made it pretty cheap for 2 meals and coffees. Extra wow factor: the rotating pancake has not disappointed twice now! This time as peaches and cream and last one e tried as strawberry shortcake, both were as advertised and delicious. Does it pass the T.A.S.T.E. Test? Yes! Le peep has made a comeback with the experience today. I'm excited for new specials and pancakes of the month! read more

Le Peep is exactly what you want in a breakfast/brunch place. It's not going for fancy or elevated food but it's still great! My only issue is that sometimes the service can be lacking there (eg water cups empty), but there's nothing not to like about this place. Pancakes are great in particular. read more

We were looking for a breakfast-y restaurant for a large family gathering. Our regular go-to (Walker Brothers) was ruled out for this particular morning, so we decided on Le Peep. I had been to Le Peep many times in the past, and while it had been okay, it was 'just' okay. Food had been serviceable, and service was so-so. So I was not excited about the prospect of a large table and the potential service delays on a busy morning. I was delightfully surprised. I don't know if there has been a change of management, and/or kitchen staff, but the food was excellent, and the service was above and beyond. We had a couple of young ones, and a baby with us, and they provided children's menus which kept the kidlettes busy, the food came out quickly (and accurately), beautifully presented. Our waiter was attentive, didn't grumble or roll his eyes with the many changes, and additional requests that often come with a large group. Le Peep is back on my "go-to" list. read more

Pancake | Efficiency | Variety | Atmosphere -Pancake: it's a pancake house, get the pancakes! We tried the pancake of the month and it did not disappoint. Rich, decadent, and filling. We split it which was perfect to satisfy the sweet tooth. -Efficiency: it was busy, but they are able to flip tables quickly so we were seated within minutes. Food came out fast and you pay at the register so you can self pace from there. -Variety: the menu has a substantial amount of options. You could come everyday for 2-3 months and not repeat a meal. -Atmosphere: they have the proper balance of busy, noise, and table space. You feel like you are in a "desired location" but you do not feel crowded. It's a hard balance but Le Peep gets it right. Lost stars?: minus one for the potatoes for the 2nd time were not fully cooked. The salmon had one bite that tasted very "fishy". Pro Tip: They have a winter menu with special seasonal drinks. We had the gingerbread chi latte. It was AMAZING! Pro Tip: They have a loyalty punch card, with a free meal when you complete the punches. read more

I started getting this feeling that a lot of the food here is starting taste dry or stiff. The french toast edges are mostly stiff and the sausage and potatoes were also dry on the outside, making it harder to cut and chew. read more

Great service! But really really really REALLY meh food. I ordered the crepe (which was probably a mistake. Stick to pancakes and waffles when trying a new place. Hard to mess up) The garlic bread that came with it came fresh out of the freezer and barely had any garlic or butter on it. The chicken was that gross rubbery pre-cooked chicken. The fresh fruit side was a decently sized portion! Great location with many parking options. Definitely seemed like there were a number of regulars there, so maybe I just need to switch up my order. read more

Le Peep Restaurant - Boulder crepes - American Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

There's nothing that really stands out for me at this place. I think their service is good, nothing exceptional and sometimes that's all you can ask for. They do get crowded over the weekend and could be a 30-45min wait, so be aware. When it comes to the food, everything was okay and reasonably priced. You do get a lot of serving so, you get the bang for your back. We ordered the Eighteen Wheeler and Lumberjack and it was okay. I hope the French Toast was better and less cinnamon but, that's more of a personal preference. I've had their crepes as well and again it was okay. It was a little too sweet for me and had way too much cream feeling. Overall, I appreciate the quick service, clean environment, and decent food. It's a place I would go to on a Holiday because nothing else is open and wouldn't be upset about it. read more

Le peeps in Evanston il is very prejudice. Most of the co workers there especially the staff seating you...will not seat people of color in a timely manner. I went to le peep, me and my fiancé who is Hispanic and I'm African American and we had two of our children with us Waited over an hour..when there was tables available for us. I looked in the Room. They would seat a bunch of Caucasian college students before us. Disgusting read more

Liked this place a lot. We dropped in one Saturday when the weather was nice and we had a short wait - but that is good. If so many people are knocking on their door there must be a reason. Centrally located very near downtown Evanston, this restaurant was large, clean, and well-staffed. We had the usual for a breakfast place and the eggs, sausage, and bacon offerings were all very nice - 3 stars. But for us the standout was the pancakes - 5 stars. At many place the pancakes have a nice taste but they are a bit heavy - not here. The pancakes were light and airy and you could tell the batter hadn't been sitting around all morning. Very nice - get the pancakes. All in all this is a nice roomy breakfast stop on the food trail in Evanston. Lots of 20-somethings that go to nearby Northwestern University, the whole place had a nice uplifting feel to it. Good coffee, good breakfast food ...give the pancakes a try. read more

The food was good, I'll definitely eat here again. Atmosphere was nice. The servers were always quick to help us. Overall a good experience.

I had breakfast at Le Peep more than 5 times. Service was excellent every time and food is just getting better and better. They been packed on Saturday morning and there was big line waiting for table. Host told us that is 15 minutes wait and we got table in less than 10. This place doesn't seem to struggle with stuff shortage. Even with fully packed restaurant we got drinks right away, ordered food fast and food came out really quick. Today I had Belgium waffle combo that comes with 2 eggs, choice of meat, full waffle and side of potatoes. Eggs were perfectly cooked and waffle was great even after staying 10-15 minutes on table. It was still soft and fluffy. Sorry no pictures of food. As soon as food arrived I forgot about my phone. read more

So far, the best coffee that I've had in Evanston. They are keen on English muffins, which is fine by me, but other options are available. Pancake Breakfast House which does breakfast very well. The menu displays the calorie count. read more

Good service and good grub. My uncle's only complaint about the pancake special - carrot cake - was that it needed more cream cheese icing. The 18-wheeler (eggs, French toast, meat and potatoes) went down well with me and Daniel. And the Belgian waffles worked wonders for Sophie. (I would've taken some photos, but we were hungry by the time we got there and too busy devouring our food). read more

The line to get in here on Sundays after 10 AM is very damn long. So long in fact that you may ask yourself " are they selling drugs here. why the hell is there such a long line"? No they are not selling drugs here just good food. Maybe this is a secret to people who dont frequent Evanston but it should be a secret no longer. First of all the service is always outstanding. You could tell they are working on it. I am not a big fan of crepes usually but the spinach crepe benedict is very satisfying the last 18 times I have had it since 2004. I was here on New Years day and there was a huge line but since I am a city person I am a little assertive and all we had to do was wait twenty minutes and then I had an amazing veggie omelette with their amazing coffee. This place is so amazing read more
