Used to like this place. Today sat at the table without getting waited on. While tables were getting cleaned. I guess that's more important then waiting on a customer. - Frequent customer lost. Check out Lakes Pancake House on 173 or the Cubby Hole in Richmond. There is also another great place called the whistle stop in Fox Lake a few miles down the road. Go eat there instead. read more

Good local comfort food. I like better their lunch menu than breakfast. Could be a little pricey base on their portions. When busy, it could take a while to get your order. Might have to give them another try. read more

This place is a real find. Great atmosphere and fast, friendly service. We've been here twice. The first time I had fried cod fillet. Good size portion and cooked perfectly. Crispy outside and flakey inside. Today I had an omelet specially prepared off menu. They were very accommodating and cooked it perfectly. I checked out what some other patrons were having and some of the sandwiches looked pretty good. This place would do well no matter where it was located. In Spring Grove, it's got to be the top place go.(no offense to S.G. there's just not that many places to eat there) read more

We were on our way out of Lake Geneva heading back to Chicagoland and due to a late start we knew we would have a hard time parking in LG. So we consulted Yelp and found this gem of a place. Very cute inside, with attentive staff and great food. I had the veggie skillet, was top notch, I really tasted the freshness of the veggies. My friends had the breakfast burrito (with optional side of fresh fruit) and a cheese omelette. We all were very happy with the entire experience. Next trip will be sure to stop back here and will pass the word along! read more

decent breakfast place. nice staff and good food... however, i feel that this place is way overpriced. Got two waffles for $20... delicious but $20?!? not somewhere I'd want to take the whole family to breakfast that's for sure read more

My family loves coming here! There may be a wait, but it's a small place, expected! The food is really good and everyone that works there is super nice! We have a 2 and 4 year old and whether they are our server or not, they always come by to say hello to us! We always bring our out of town friends and family here and they rave about it! read more

I ordered take out for breakfast from this place. I ordered a country morning skillet they gave me a good morning skillet. Now when I called them they said they would just give me sausage gravy if I came but up. I said no, I would like mine made fresh and I will bring back up the wrong dish. Because my eggs, potatoes.. etc will be ice cold by the time I get back home. Then when I get here they try to just give the gravy, I had to sit there and go back forth about remaking the dish that they made Wong! Are you kidding me? read more

I love this place so much. The employees are so nice and down to Earth. Of course the food taste great to. If you don't know what to get I love there apple cinnamon French toast. read more

Hands down, this is probably our favorite local breakfast place. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the food has been great every time we eat here. If you are a coffee junkie like myself, make sure to try it here! The owner has sourced and selected the coffee to be some of the best around. I highly recommend the hash brown casserole, as this is my personal favorite. If you are ever in spring grove, make sure you give this place a try. read more

Very delicious local joint here. Liked the clean modern (but reminiscent of a wooden farmhouse) vibe, good prices, and big portions. Had the country skillet and it was just what I needed. Breakfast places are pretty hit or "meh" for me and this place was definitely a hit. The servers were quick on the coffee as well even when our glasses weren't empty which was appreciated. read more

Great breakfast place!! Everyone is super friendly and the food is awesome!!!!! Hang in there guys during this hoax of a "pandemic" . During this time, please consider small businesses instead of big box corporations to give your money to. These small businesses are what make our community shine! read more

Quick sevice, Good coffee, food delicious, and friendly servers = happy customers. And they have cool coffee cups with local advertising on them. Since they sold tshirts, we asked if they sold the mugs. They said no, not til the end of the year when they get 2015 mugs with new advertising. Consider selling them in 2015. Not only will this share the local advertisers, but it expands your advertising, too! read more

Midwest Breakfast Co. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Spring Grove, Illinois

What I thought I could eat: A sizzling garden omelette composed of mushrooms, peppers, and tomatoes, glued together with feta cheese. The balance of savory and salty followed by the rich battered french toast. A wholesome breakfast for one, that should probably be eaten by a few. What my more realistic date ate: Thinly poured, golden crepes with a plentiful serving of fresh strawberries, covered with whipped cream. Tip: Get here when they open or around noon, this place is cozy and gets crowded. read more

Great atmosphere. So, I love the way it's decorated in here. It reminds me of someone's home kitchen with a bit of country flair. I had the mexican skillet and it was great. The only thing I was a little disappointed at was, the menu stated it would be county potatoes (which I think of as hand cut/chopped seasoned potatoes) and they used the frozen hash type potatoes found in the freezer isle. But, all that aside, it was a very tasty meal that I would order again. read more

Really a nice little spot for breakfast. There is a counter area you can sit at along with booths and tables. The food portions are good without being absurd and the food is very good. The staff is personable and helpful. They have good menu options and seem to have all the breakfast bases covered. (For some reason Yelp has this place listed twice even though the address is the same.) read more

A perfect place to eat! Spacious, clean dining area, sparkling rest rooms, and a friendly staff. My favorite is the breakfast bagel sandwich, which is my go to meal for eating on the run. The drive through window is very handy for this reason. Dining in is even better. Attentive wait staff will gladly tweak any order to your liking, and there is much to like on their large menu! read more

Has a great small town vibe! Super friendly staff, delicious food, clean and notably delicious coffee ( not your typical weak breakfast diner coffee!!) The only thing lacking is gluten free bread ! read more

On my way back from Lake Geneva, i spotted this place and decided to stop in for a bite to eat. Little did I know that it would turn into a delightful breakfast experience. The staff is amazing, food amazing, the prices were superb, the atmosphere is also top notch. If you're in the area, stop and eat here. read more

I enjoy the drive from Lake Villa to Spring Grove for the best breakfast place I have ever been too. It is my every Saturday routine to go up there for a cup of coffee and an omelette or skillet. My taste bud's are always craving the battered bread. Its like a piece of french toast married a funnel cake and had twins. ha! The servers never allow my coffee cup to be half empty, they stay on top of my caffeine habit. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great breakfast joint. It is Friday afternoon, and the battered bread is only one more day away! read more

Food was pretty good atmosphere was nice but it took such a long time to get our food!! I understand being busy but when compared to other slammed breakfast places like walker bros or wildberry wait times it just can not be justified. As those restaurant still manage to get the food out in a timely manner. I would go back just at a,non peak time. read more

Cozy decor and pretty ok food secure this place a sturdy 3 stars. The elusive 4th and 5th stars could make an appearance in the future but not just yet. I've been here once before and it was on par (but busier this time) as the last. The bathrooms are very clean (always something to strive for). The food was so-so. I was told I'd be amazed by my corned beef hash. I wasn't. It needed a kick...some life...maybe more butter love...I don't know. I do know the service was friendly and generally prompt. If I'm out this far again and it's breakfast time, I'd happily stop here to give it another go. read more

It looks from the menu Midwest Breakfast Co. does breakfast and lunch. Who would have thought? I had driven by a few times and was curious. We were making our annual family pilgrimage to cut our Christmas tree in Spring Grove. It was cold and so we thought it would be a better choice to brave the chilly temps with full bellies. The food was typical and nothing special. Eggs, pancakes, and skillets made up the basic breakfast menu. I ordered the "homemade" corned beef hash. Homemade consisted of chopping a bit of corned beef and mixing it with frozen hash browns. There was very little coned beef in my hash. The rest of our meals were OK. The restaurant is in a small strip center and the door opens up into other restaurant, which on cold days makes for very cool breezes while you are eating. they need a vestibule or a foyer too keep the cold from permeating the dining room. The service was good, the coffee was average. If I was driving by I am not sure I would stop and I would definitely not make a special trip. It appears they are relatively new and maybe not seasoned restaurant people. I will give them a couple months to work out the kinks and give them another try. read more

Pleasant breakfast. Blueberry pancakes and cinnamon rolls were just delicious. Our server was great and she hustled to make sure everyone was happy. She cleaned like a machine which was nice to see during these times. read more

Midwest Breakfast Company is the place to go for consistent delicious breakfast. Their country fried steak and gravy breakfast is the bomb. if you order the hash brown casserole ask for it crispy! read more

A favorite of our family for many years. The owners are friendly and always ready with a smile and delicious food. Check out the Pumpkin Pancakes in the fall. Available for a limited time, we look forward to them every year! read more

Great breakfast great service, reasonable prices. Going back soon ! Try the hash brown casserole!

If you want a long wait then I recommend this place. Can't tell you how the food was cause walked out after 20 minutes. Older blond waitress was rude and slow read more

Went here for the first time. Cute breakfast/lunch spot for being in a strip mall. Service was good.. very friendly and attentive. Food was just ok. Price was very reasonable. read more

My husband and I have been here twice now. Breakfast casserole is one of the side options with breakfast and it's outstanding. Ask for it crispy. The corn beef hash is not the mush you get at other places. Its actual corned beef that they make mixed with hash browns. I don't typically like it but my husband ordered it and it was outstanding. Today I did lunch and got the pot roast sliders with sweet potato chips which are light and airy and clearly made fresh there. The sliders were amazing. The place is small but we had very short wait for table and there were two groups ahead of us. Service is friendly and helpful with menu. Explains their specialties. If we lived in area would be there more often. read more

Food is ok, can't really mess up a normal breakfast. Place is rather small though and service was a tad slow my first time there. But will be checking it out again sometime soon. read more

I strongly suggest you avoid this restaurant. The food is average. The problem is that if they are busy they will ask you to leave once you are finished your meal. I could not believe it but only 10 minutes after we finished our meal the waitress said "how long are you going to stay - we have people that waiting and would like to have your table. It was very uncomfortable. When I paid the bill shortly after I mentioned that it made us uncomfortable and the waitress said that she was not trying to rush us. An outright lie. There was no other way to take that. I will NEVER be back and I suggest you avoid! read more

Food was nothing specialized staff took nearly 10 minutes to seat us or acknowledge us despite the fact they were not busy.

Absolutely love this place! Great location, home-y decor, and excellent friendly service. I'm always met with a smile when I come in. There's no better breakfast or lunch spot in the area. Just tried a panini for the first time and it was absolutely delectable. 12/10 would recommend. Keep up the good work Midwest Breakfast!! read more

Service and food are always spot on. Coffee is really good w quick refills. Daily specials offer something a little different. Family run operation and you can tell they care!!! Best breakfast place in the area. No question. read more

Foods great but every time I've been here the service has been lacking. I'll still come back but I just have to know that I'm not in a hurry! read more

This review is not based on the food. It is strictly based on the horrible service we received. As far as the food goes, it is great and that is why I was going every Saturday during my morning lunch break. Let me start by saying that I truly wish I remembered the waitresses name as this review applies to just her. I can tell you (should management read this review) that she worked today, Saturday April 30, 2016 at 9am. I am an employee of Scot Forge, that is less than a minute away on Winn Rd. Two coworkers and I went in this morning for breakfast. We waited to be seated and understood that because the place was so busy, we would have a longer than average wait time. Therefore, once we were seated we made things extremely easy and ordered 3 of the same thing. Everything was going really well. We ate comfortably and we're satisfied. When we received the bill, one of my coworkers went to pay for the bill. I was going to leave the tip on the table. My second coworker left his wallet at work. Like I said, we were all on a lunch break. I left my wallet in the car. Well, after my coworker paid, we all left outside. I was about to walk back in with my wallet to leave a tip when the waitress came outside and yelled "thanks for the tip guys!" In the most annoyed and sarcastic tone. I told her I was about to walk back in with it and she just said "yeah ok" and walked back inside. Needless to say, I felt like just driving away but I didn't. I had my coworker go inside and leave the tip. I also want to point out that this waitress knows we were coming from work and has seen many of us there. We were in our uniform. It was completely uncalled for. My coworkers and I have already told other employees of this scenario and I'm sure many will stop going simply because of the service not because of the food. I'm extremely disappointed that nobody from management reached out to apologize also, seeing as how she was loud enough that other patrons at the restaurant heard her. read more

We keep trying this place, hoping it has improved, or that this business has read the reviews and made some changes.....neither are happening. The food is pretty good. The coffee is great. Here's the issue: the service. When servers aren't congregated around the front counter drinking coffee, they quickly jet out to one table and back to the counter ASAP. (Is there some magnetic force field here???). Get out of your personal conversations, and sweep your entire station on each trip. Better yet, help each other out and fill coffee and water glasses as you see they're empty, instead of disregarding because it's not your station. It's customer service 101. You may find a more loyal, happy, returning clientele as a result. It's going to be a while before I return. read more

Great First Impression that follows you through the entire meal. I had the very creative French Toast dipped in Funnel cake batter, then fried - Fantabulous! Each bit was Paradise. We have returned to eat additional meals with each having a terrific presentation & taste. Do not miss this town Treasure. read more

The only negative to this place is that it isn't closer to home! We stopped in for a late meal and all enjoyed the food, from the battered toast (think funnel cake meets french toast..yum!) to the pot roast sliders. Despite arriving shortly before they closed, service was friendly. Prices also were very reasonable! read more
