The food wasn't what I expected in a farm to table restaurant. I ordered a burger (no bun), rare. I emphasized rare. After laughing about it, I saw the waitress circle rare on her ticket. The burger arrived well done and dry. The fries tasted like they were cooked in old oil. The waitress never came back to find out how things were or to refill our glasses. Thinking it was just the day, we came back for lunch again. I order the pork special without mashed potatoes. The waitress didn't ask if I wanted to add something, which I would have gladly paid extra for. The pork came a little rarer than I'm comfortable eating. Again the waitress never came back except to deliver our bill.

We checked this place out this morning as we are going to stay another night in Ottowa, IL…read more Garden Berry Cafe is in a terrific place downtown for convenient access. Parking in front, and I am pretty sure parking is available in back. The decor is modern urban with a neighborhood feel. The server was on his first day. He brought our drink orders and took our orders. I ordered the Country Road skillet. The gravy and cheese underlying the eggs made for an exquisite flavor profile. My son ordered the incredible hulk omelet. Massive portion, but he ate the whole thing. Really really good meal. The little added goodness for me personally was that they had "Mixed Fruit Jelly", lacking in so many similar restaurants. Kudos to the Garden Berry!

I consider this one of the best breakfast spots in Illinois in its price range…read more I believe Gordan Ramsey would give Yolks and Berries a great review. Somehow, Someway, they make simple items like scrambled eggs and (buttery) hash browns taste better than the other guys. For the hungry man, I recommend the butcher's omelet or the meat lover's skillet. Deservedly so, this joint is usually busy, but the tableside atmosphere is relaxed. Food is delivered promptly, and your coffee cup will be refilled. The service is outstanding and competent. One reason is that many employees have worked there for over 10 years, and many for over 15. I am now a regular and visit once or twice a week. P.S. Their homemade potato chips are cooked per order and delivered warm to your table!

A couple kinds of French toast. Scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, country fried steak, bacon,ham, corned beef hash, lots of potato casseroles, waffles, two kids of French toast...it just goes on and on. And then you have a full salad area with fresh fruit !! Oh and did I mention an entire buffet of pastries? Donuts, cinnamon rolls, danishes, muffins. It just kept going !!! Everything was fresh and replenished and delicious. The only thing I'd pass on was the Bloody Mary bar. Not a lot of stuffs. Cold chicken nuggets, bacon, green olives, some sad pickle spears, lemon wedges, celery, kielbasa, that was pretty much it. Would Have like to have seen cheese cubes or maybe some shrimp. But it was not bad, just nothing to write home about. All in all for 20.00 a person for food (I don't remember what the bloody bar was) it was a good deal. And they do it daily, not just on the weekends!!!
