    Coffee! SO GOOD! Multiple creamer choices too!
    Lindsey B.

    Food was amazing! The service was quick and friendly. Ambiance is the complete opposite of EggHeadz - QUIET, friendly, and welcoming.

    The service was great, and the food was on point as well. The one gripe I have is that in today's society, a lot of people are changing their diets. This establishment did not have any plant-based meat options or fish options, e.g., salmon croquet, lox, or fried catfish. I think taking this into consideration may satisfy a wider audience either way there are still options to choose from & still be pleased with your meal.

    Dear Chef, You should know better serving cold breakfast sausages. I understand prep and the sausages are pre- cooked however it would take a few minutes to heat them up by putting them back on the grill. If you ever did this on chopped chef you'd be immediately disqualified. Do better. Be a better chef. Only serve to others what you're willing to eat. My baked vegetarian omelette was delicious and my waitress was awesome.

    My favorite breakfast place on the planet thus far!! I come here quite often and it is always a a hit! My favorite thing here are there pancakes! I also love there bacon and create your own scramblers. I've been coming here for years and I'm sorta a VIP so I never have to wait long and I always get phenomenal service! But before I became a VIP the service was excellent that's why I keep coming back. I even came during COVID and sat outside under a tent!! It's a casual environment you can come after church or after the gym. They have multiple Chicago and Suburban locations I've been to them all. I'm at the Oakforest location today. They do have plenty of parking on both sides of the restaurant. ENJOY

    Came in visiting from Texas with a group of 10 and our experience was AMAZING thanks to our wonderful waitress Deanna. She was attentive, funny, and provided a more than excellent service. The food was almost too beautiful to eat! Very yummy and we left very full. Thank you miss Deanna! our groups favorite was the apple pancake and the Dutch Treat! Don't forget a SUPER hot chocolate!!

    You hadn't had pancakes until you've been to this spot. Best pancakes I ever had and there's so much food they give you that you'll have plenty of leftovers for the next morning .

    Roaches ?
    Maria J.

    They must not be fumigating on a regular because this is the first thing I see walking in to the restroom. Now granted, every restaurant establishment will have mice, bugs, roaches, etc. but this is why you have companies that come out every so often to control the volume of pests. Been coming here for a while and am Disappointed because food is good, and it's beautiful on the inside and newly renovated, but that doesn't always mean much clearly!

    Very good breakfast food location, pancakes of many varieties sausage, bacon, plenty of items to choose from on the menu. All prepared well and served hot. Great friendly customer service with Elana the server. Friendly workers from seating to busing to checkout. Clean and well maintained. Check out the hours they're open and browse the menu enjoy.

    Pecan Pancakes

    THE BEST PANCAKES EVER!!!! I mean, like, EVER!!!! THE BEST BACON EVER!!!! I mean, for real... EVER !!!! This is the best place for breakfast! I have been patronizing Original Pancake House since it's days back in Dolton, Illinois in the 80's and 90's, then to it's days in Olympia Fields, Illinois in the early 2000's... (I should have done a review sooner).... It is a small and quaint spot, with a "family" feel to it. Fresh Eggs, thick Bacon, scrum-delicious Pancakes, and sinfully-tasty Dutch Baby's! My favorite order is the Bacon Lovers (did they cure the bacon themselves?) meal, with Fresh, Country-Scrambled Eggs and Pecan Pancakes (pecan is extra, but well worth it!)... My husband loves to order the Spinach & Feta Cheese Omelet, with Pecan Pancakes. Or sometimes we order the DUTCH BABY! You have to wait a little longer for it, but you won't be disappointed! This place is usually crowded on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The waiting area is extremely small, and sometimes you end up waiting outside. Once seated, the servers try their best to be attentive. I only have two negatives: 1) The coffee is super STRONG! And, they only have whipping cream for your coffee, as opposed to traditional cream options. So, bring your own cream if you need to. Finally, 2) The ladies bathroom is extremely small-- so small, I can barely fit in the stall and close the door at the same time!!! (And, I'm not overweight!). Nonetheless, these two negatives do not impact the quality of the dining experience. Original Pancake House in Oak Forest is still a 5 star location even if it is a little pricey!

The Americano was really hot and they even warm the cream for you. The sandwich tasted really good. Lots of avocado and the lemondono is as sweet which made the sandwich savory with a sweet little kick. The lady working the counter was extremely friendly and personable. It's located by the Metra so it's a perfect place to come by and grab a bite before getting on the train or even just work for a bit. Overall, a great experience and will definitely be back!

Lots more than just coffee. They have salads which are fresh. A lot on the menu which is crazy. It's not that big of a place. They have mostly a selection of pastries and salads. Coffee is the best thing to get. It's about $6 for a specialty. Best of these is the Brown Shaken Espresso. This is choice of milk along with cocoa powder, dark chocolate, and double espresso which is kickass. A thing to really get one going. It's about $9 for a salad. They have a few of these. I got the Arugula Pecan Salad. This also has balsamic glaze, cranberries, garlic pickle, lodolemono, onion crisps, pecans, and tomatoes. It was enough. She got the Avocado Toast. Basic looking. There's also paninis. Chill place to get breakfast or lunch. It's located on Cicero at 157th. This is across from the Metra station.

    First timer - have been wanting to try this place for the longest and it didn't disappoint. The…read morestaff were so nice and attentive. I started with the salted caramel latte and it was perfection (as someone who likes a little coffee with their sugar). I wanted to try everything but since it was my 1st time just went with a standard 2 egg breakfast, which one really can't get wrong, and the White Sheep definitely didn't. Everything was cooked well and potatoes were really really good. The pancakes are pretty large so providing one as a side is actually so much better than 2 or 3 cakes. My mom had the steak and eggs and that serving size was so generous with the prefect cook. Well worth the price, imo. We LOVED this place and will be visiting again. Additionally, my mom had a to go box which she accidentally left behind which we didn't realize until after we left. Luckily, we were only like five minutes away, so she called the restaurant and explained the situation so we were able to go back and grab it because no one had thrown her food away, thankfully..

It has an upscale barn style feel to it with mostly tables, a few booths, and a bakery section in the middle featuring different pastries and sweet treats you can order. The peach mimosa was honestly one of the best mimosas I've ever had. They serve it in a decent sized glass, and it comes with a peach ring at the bottom, which was such a fun and delicious touch. I ordered the chilaquiles, and my friend got the chicken Caesar salad. We were seated right away, the service was friendly, and the food came out pretty quickly. Unfortunately, my first order of chilaquiles had a hair in it (circled in photo). Another waitress noticed my reaction right away and checked on me, then my server apologized and had the dish remade immediately. I appreciated that they corrected it, and the replacement food was actually really good (after close inspection), but I do wish there had been some sort of gesture for the inconvenience, especially since I had to wait again for my meal and was honestly pretty grossed out. Once the new plate came out, the food itself was flavorful and enjoyable. My friend also really liked her Caesar salad, though she wished there was a shrimp option available. Overall, the food and drinks were good, but the hair situation definitely impacted my first impression. I'm not sure yet if I'd return, but I can definitely recommend the peach mimosa.

    Given the number of breakfast places in the south suburbs, it is sometimes hard to stick out …read more.. but Royalberry Waffle was a very nice stop. Situated in a strip mall and operating a very large dining room, the restaurant was very nice. Now you don't come here for the ambiance ... because it is just one large room ... but the food and staff make the trip worth the visit. Quick service from friendly waitstaff, a nice selection of items on the menu, and all-in-all your typical breakfast place. Make sure you are ready when you order, because the food comes out quickly. Interestingly, we never tried the waffles ... we'll have to make a point of trying them on our next visit. Recommended.

Our waitress Melissa was super friendly and nice. Very spacious inside and give like an older restaurant feel which I really missed. I got the vegetable omelet with cheddar cheese, pancakes and fruit and it was soooo good! I took some home for the next day. My friend got the banana, chocolate chip crepe and she also took half home for the next day. The only reason why I didn't give it a 5 star was the prices online via the dine in menu differs quite a bit. But since we were already there, we decided to try and we are glad that we did. I personally will be back but have to keep in mind the menu prices online is incorrect.
