Unfortunately the experience here was mediocre at best. The decor failed to invite and felt more empty than anything despite the moderate crowd. There was an unnecessary wait for the food which lacked and the signature Peaches coffee left me begging for the regular blend. I will not be returning but I'm happy to see the business erected in the rising Bronzeville community. Since food and these reviews are subjective, I encourage those in the area to support and more importantly, the business to step it up a bit and find a way to WOW their consumers. read more

I went in Peaches and there were only a few people in there. They set you right away, however after that the service was slow. It took awhile for the coffee to come. When the meal came they got my egg order wrong. I ordered lemonade I had to keep asking for it at least three times before I got it. When we were done we did not see the waitress to get our bill. I had to try and get her attention. The food was OK but nothing to brag about. I have gone there three times and the first time it was not good. I went back another time and it was better. This time it was not good and I will not go back again. I am so sorry because it is close to me. read more

We stopped in on a Friday during Chicago Black Restaurant week and tried their peach bourbon French toast. I was hooked from day one! We had an amazing waiter (Jerome) and the food was on point. I'm never disappointed. The wait is longer on Sundays. I enjoy the salmon croquettes and cheese grits more than anything. I love the vibe here! read more

Nice place to stop for a bite to eat. We went during Sunday brunch time, but seating for two was available quickly. The staff was attentive, the food was tasty, no complaints at all. Give it a shot! read more

I invited a good friend out for breakfast and wanted to go somewhere really nice. I had read some of the reviews which implied that service was bad and the staff was unprofessional. I can't imagine what type of prima donna experience they were looking for, but I was WOWED by the superior service I received. I was actually looking for what some others said they had experienced. My server Abby was PHENOMENAL and couldn't have been nicer. All of the staff who passed by my table were smiling and spoke and asked if everything was alright even though I was not at their table. I have been to MANY 5 star restaurants in the city and around the country and I must say that the service I received here was EXCELLENT and I was happy to leave a good tip for the pleasant experience. The food was great as well as the prices. read more

Let me start off with the positive - the shrimp and grits were really memorable that I had on 2/18. We also ordered the peach french toast, which was average. Then there is the problem with the restaurant policies. I tried to use our WBEZ membership card to get a discount for the food. At the time, I was told that the restaurant no longer subscribes to the service. Funny thing is, it does as the restaurant is listed. It was through this subscription that we decided to try the place out, as I live in a different part of town. Two times I attempted to follow-up (phone call and email) with the staff afterwards (once I was told that the accountant would call me back and the second, the restaurant manager), and have never been able to get ANY resolution. No one at the restaurant seems to be taking this seriously as have not received a return phone call or email. This is a business and perhaps they should be running it like one with their customers being a priority. read more

First impression is always a lasting impression ! I've always driven past this restaurant however I was at the Original Pancake House it was packed as usual, so this couple came in an they said they were going to Peaches. They said the food was good, I followed them to the restaurant. Upon arriving I checked In, just me. I arrived at 12:56 pm and waited almost a half hour before I noticed their was a counter so I asked if that was available and why when I checked in the greeter didn't give me that option since I was alone. So I'm seated at the counter and I was offered coffee and water and someone finally took my order. I'm waiting another 30min, I asked the server to check on how long before my food is ready, she never came back! I decided to leave and spoke to the manager about it, she said it takes 35-40 min for breakfast. They're half the size of Original Pancake house and less customers... I try to patronize community establishments however the service is awful!! read more

Don't bother going. The service is unforgivably slow and the food is not good. I had the salmon patties with cheese grits. I just about gagged because the dish was so salty. The biscuit broke apart when I put a fork in it. There was a thin layer of something that was way too sweet. I've never had worse French toast. The fried chicken wings were just OK. I'm glad I wasn't paying. The servers were polite though. read more

I went for the first time yesterday. The host was friendly. My server came quickly and she was quite pleasant. I ordered the gluten free pancakes, turkey sausage patties and a salmon croquette. The gluten free pancakes and turkey sausage were both pretty tasty. The salmon croquette was a little salty for my tastes but I think I will try it again next time to see if I like it better. I enjoyed the music that was playing and the atmosphere was comfortable. Overall, I had a really good experience. read more

Upon waking in you notice the old school stove, decor and that southern hospitality. They have a chalkboard wall with specials. I had the banana foster French toast, good flavor to the bread but slightly on the sweeter side for me. The potatoes are off the chain, very well seasoned. I would come back to try the omelets and pancakes which looked very delectable. Good portion size you leave full but not overstuffed. read more

I Had The Catfish,Green, And Cheese Grits With A Side Of Salmon Croquettes. The Catfish Was Pretty Good The Cheesy Grits Were Too Damn Thick. The Salmon Croquettes Was Too Soft, Undercooked, Thick, Even Had A Second Order On The House Because The First Ones Were Even More Soft And Undercooked. Oh, And I Also Got A Full Stack Of Pancakes And These Were Like Frozen Pancakes They Were Bland, Big As Hell, Lightskin As Shit And too Damn Thin. Lbs Even They Peach Palmer They Try To Push On You Isn't All That Good But It Does Help Knock The Thick Ass Food Down. read more

Sooo good. We had a large party so we received complementary beignets with fresh fruit that was amazing! I ordered catfish with greens and house potatoes that was really good. It was filling and at a reasonable price. I don't live in Chicago but I would definitely come back next time I'm in town. read more

Peach's Restaurant - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

Excellent spot!... Roomy,friendly, and CLEAN! A must try!! I had a full stack w/peach bourbon compote... GREAT!... & they have duck bacon, very unique..this is now my new hang out for breakfast or lunch! read more

The 2 stars are for the grits. The service was so bad, I'll probably never return. After waiting close to 40-45minutes for three meals, my duck bowl was prepared with a big piece of plastic cooked in it. I ordered my egg over easy and my daughter ordered over medium but they both came well done with the entire yoked cooked. We waited 20 minutes for lemons for our water and had to ask for flatware and napkins once we were finally served. Our server didn't check on us at all, the runner had to correct everything that was wrong with our order so I left my tip for him. When the bill came we were charged full price for everything. Go figure! The cheese grits were great and the duck bacon was good. read more

this is my new fav place. good food, good service. nice people. good place to come for breakfast & enjoy the company you're with. read more

Peach's Restaurant - lunch now being served. - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I am very disappointed with this place. I had been hearing good things abt this place and our experience wasn't a good. We normally go CCW down the street (sometimes crowded but always have more than enough food). Decided to try "Peaches." We ordered 2 greek omelettes and we were only given 2 smalls strips of lamb( approx 1 oz) served with an egg white omelette with peppers. So I basically paid $25 for 2 egg white omelettes. We wont be back. I only gave it 2 stars bc the service was great and the place is clean. read more

Today I went to Peach's Restaurant to have breakfast with my brother & three of his friends for his birthday before the Chicago Bears game today at noon. We got there at 10 am., there was a wait; which was fine. My party of 5, was told we were on a 5-10 minute wait; which turned into 45 as the host's continued to seat others as they walked in. As we were sat the server told us the kitchen was on a 20 minute delay; which was fine, but that 20 minute delay turned into a 40 minute delay. Only saw my waitress once beyond her taking our order & that was to see if our food came out & before we would say anything to her, she speedily walked away & then the best part, literally each entree of ours came out cold. Wasn't worth the verbal complaint due to being on a time limit, but definitely do not recommend this place at all. As a server myself, I do not appreciate the service. read more

I love the restaurant's theme! You can eat at the counter for a greasy spoon experience or dine at a table. I arrived around 9:30am on a Sunday, sat at the counter and received service immediately. Try the Peach Palmer and/or shrimp and grits. The meals are big so come hungry! read more

My best friend raved about Peaches and when I finally went last year, he was right and it was excellent! However, the last 5 visits were disappointing, at best! Management of the dining room and seating is haphazardly frustrating, especially when you wait for nearly an hour and there are multiple tables open in plain view. The waitstaff that was there initially were excellent, and some of them are still there. The newer ones are sub-par and should not be there. About the food: Biscuits - Went from delicious to huge, unattractive mounds of dough that are raw in the middle and flavorless. Simple leavening techniques were abandoned, which is shameful for a professional establishment. Pancakes - Box mixture that is over-mixed and therefore tough and rank tasting Eggs - Never cooked to specification Grits - Either unseasoned or over-salted depending on the visit The waitstaff rarely comes back proactively and has to be summoned for a simple coffee refill, which is the ONLY consistently good item on the menu. I too love to support local businesses but the business owner has to operate the establishment as if it were a 5-star restaurant in the best areas. That is how you build and keep a growing business with satisfied clients. For the aforementioned reasons, I could not be more saddened and disappointed in Peaches after such a promising start! read more

Visited Peach's for the 1st time. The restaurant was small but the service was fast and friendly. It was crowded on Sunday morning, but we didn't have to wait long. I ordered the special Mediterranean omlette. My goodness! Easily the best omlette I've ever eaten. Very well seasoned food. Had potatoes with it and a cup of peach coffee. The coffee was delicious and potent. I was weird for the rest of the day. My wife said the chicken with her French toast was better than the Chicken and Waffle place! I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

I had been trying to make it over to this place since it opened. My aunt was visiting from California, so this was the perfect time to go. Upon my arrival, there was a women paying for her food telling the cashier this this was her first time here and her last visiting the restaurant. I should have taken her advice and left too! But I had to stay so I can give my own review. Long story short, I won't be back again. The food took forever to come out. My aunts grits were very lumpy, she had to send her toast back because it wasn't toasted. My food was luke warm. Oh and my egg white omelet was rubbery and not fluffy. Our waitress took forever to bring our check after asking for it twice. The breakfast was a $27 I'll never get back! read more

I promised the owner I'd write a review now I'm holding myself to it. OMGAWDTHISPLACEWASEVERYTHINGABROWNGIRLEVERWANTEDINABLACKOWNEDBRUNCHSPOT!!! *breathes* 1) I went with some of the most beautiful brown queer femmes I've come to know and it was just fantastic to laugh, and grieve and eat. 2) Our waitress was phenomenal. Knew that menu like the back of her hand and kept the specials coming so we all had feels about what to eat. 3) Because the wait for our food was long, the kitchen staff came out to apologize for the wait, and gave every single person at the table a complimentary biscuit and peach glaze. Those biscuits are the size of a grown man's fists and are not to be eaten by the weak. 4) Everything was just delicious. And being around so many brown and black people who just wanted to share in joy and love of food was everything a girl could ask for on a cloudy Sunday afternoon. 5) While the decor seemed to be a place of "oh my gawd this isn't inviting at all", I can say that it's about the feeling of a restaurant when you walk in that is the appeal. You had church folk, friends, lovers, families that came and just wanted to enjoy each others' company. I actually thought it was brilliant that it looked like old school black diners and the real presentation is in the food. This place is DEFINITELY worth the trip and I'm all the way in RPark so you know I mean business. read more

man jo...peach's dat number for real everything from the ambiance the bronzeville vibe the food the beautiful black people vibes when you walk in wit good soul music playin ...definitely wanna check them out i stay rite down the street from them now ...dem pancakes so big and fluffy ..man read more

Very slow...workers have no sense of urgency.waited an hour to be seated then an hour for our food. A group of people walked out after waiting an hour and a half. Would give the food 8/10 but the portions are skimpy. Shrimp and grits came with 4 shrimp on top of grits. Catfish dish with 2 small pieces of catfish. read more

The food was good, but overpriced. The customer service was horrible. Not only did I wait 30 minutes to be seated at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I waited another hour for my food... oops, I mean someone else's food. They brought me the wrong order! When asked if I wanted them to remake my order, I declined the offer. I didn't have another hour and a half to wait before eating my breakfast. I was left with scrambled eggs on my plate and a spoon since the waiter took my fork away. You think they would've kept the first order at my table while they remade my correct order or offered me a piece of toast. I mean, they're not supposed to put the old plate on someone else's table once it's been given to another customer. This was my first visit after hearing great reviews, but it will definitely be my last. No apologies, only excuses given for the poor service. The waiter blamed the hostess who blamed the kitchen, blah blah blah. No tip, no repeat visit. read more

I stopped in with very little time on my hands so I stuck with a safe order: bacon egg and cheese on sourdough and coffee. They carry Stivers coffee which is good. The sandwich was okay. The place is bright, the prices are fair, there is plenty of seating and the staff is very very friendly. I plan to return when time isn't an issue. read more

I went this morning. The restaurant is clean. The service was exceptional. The food was good and tasty! I had the duck bacon bowl and it was amazing. My friend had the peach bourbon French toast and it worked out well. We loved it and I enthusiastically recommend this little gem of a diner! read more

Peaches is a comfortable place to eat, food, service and prices are the best. The service is as great as the food. Only thing they didn't have was a bed waiting for me in the back. Lol read more

OK I went to Peach's this Friday. First I want to compliment on the staff. Very friendly, prompt, and courteous. I had the Philly Omlette and some Cheese grits (..they were pretty tasty!..) , I also had a waffle that was also pretty good!. The place was clean. I really have no complaint. It just didn't "knock me out". It was NOT bad.. It was alright. I'd go back. I guess it's better than I WOULDN'T go back I enjoyed the food & the service was above average. I'd recommend Peach's for a good solid meal with above average service. If they had a parking lot, instead of street parking, yeah I'd give 'em another star... read more

I've visited this breakfast spot twice so far and have been satisfied each visit. The food is delicious and the service is great! The atmosphere is lively yet homely. The wait time is not very long .The menu options are unique yet appeasing. This restaurant is definitely one I get excited about visiting not to mention I go out of my way doing so! read more

I had high hopes, they were quickly dashed. I was willing to look past a few small errors but when they messed up my order TWICE! I was more than done. There are too many other options... read more

The food was good and the service was better I had an issue with my meal and it was quickly corrected and I received 50% off of my bill for the inconvenience, nothing but good things to say about this place I definitely will be back. read more

Terrible service... OMG!!!! Seated at 12:15, ordered at 1:00... it is now 2:00 and no food. It might be good but really people. Two and half hours for an Omelette. I have yet to see anyone over the age of 18 yet. All kids running the front of the house. Come On Peaches. Show some care for your customers and most importantly, for your business read more

The food is very good. I tried duck bacon for the first time. It was great! Our order came to the table quickly. The waitress was very professional, nice and always had a smile She made very helpful food suggestions. Overall, the restaurant was clean and inviting. A very pleasant experience. read more

After waiting for nearly three years for an actual business to follow the window's announcement, Peaches has finally opened. Congrats to the local chef who is leading his own quiet revolution in historic Bronzeville to assist in the area's return to its former splendor. I recently enjoyed a late breakfast at Peaches. Although it was well after noon, the place had a casual but active group of patrons dispersed throughout the wide, open space. Upon entering, my guest and I were immediately greeted by a pleasant, attractive young woman. We were seated within five minutes and both ordered the "two egg special" with bacon and coffee. While the skimpy bacon portion was hardly justified by the cost, the other components were on point: eggs cooked to order, creamy grits, choice of toast or potatoes and fresh coffee (there is an unusual Peach-flavored brew that wasn't to my liking but it wasn't terrible - I switched to regular). Service was attentive and accommodating. We spent $25 for two for breakfast. I was glad to support the effort, especially since the site, food quality, etc are sorely inadequate in the area. Best wishes, Peaches, and I plan to return soon! read more

I was excited about a new breakfast spot on the South Side; however, I must say I was very disappointed with my carry out order. I tried the Peach's Favorite (Salmon Croquettes and Cheese Grits). Unfortunately, it was not my favorite! The cheese grits were soupy and I was extremely dissatisfied with the taste, as well as, texture of the croquettes. In addition, this dish is way overpriced. For the price, it should at least come with a side of toast and/or eggs. I really wanted to like this place...oh, well. read more

I had the peaches special eggs, pancakes & diced potatoes with duck bacon($1.50 upcharge) & peach flavored coffee. I asked for a side of the bourbon peach compote for my pancakes. Breakfast was average the potatoes was good it was cooked hard enough not mushy and great flavor with whatever seasoning they added to it. I never had duck bacon it wasn't fatty more lean and good they gave 3 or 4 pieces don't remember. I enjoyed it more then turkey bacon & it will be my go to for now on in my home i need to google to find where to buy. The pancakes were average w/the peach compote it reminded me of a peach cobbler not too sweet w/nutmeg. I'll return menu wasn't extensive read more

I had salmon and grits. I was not impressed. They had no seasoning. The only thing I enjoyed was the biscuit. I would not eat here again

This place is great! The counter service was good. The fried chicken was juicy and tender. The cinnamon french toast was the best I've had in a long time. The cashier told me they have peach bourbon french toast that I'll need to try next time. The coffee was good as well. Great place to grab brunch. read more

Absolutely unprofessional & horrible service. Cashier was so busy showing her nails to the male staff she couldn't attend to customers. When asked for a straw she rolled her eyes. Good help is hard to find, I see! To business owners, customer service pays the bills. read more
