    French toast leftovers

    Went to breakfast at Raspberry's Pancake House. Me and wife did not finish so we took leftovers home. Went to eat my leftovers. Was going to cut a pocket in French toast and stuff the sausage inside. When I went to turn it sideways to cut the pocket I got sick to my stomach when i noticed mold on the bread for the French toast. I closed the container up and was going to bring to show owner later in the day and get a refund. Well before we did that the wife started to finish her leftovers and got sick and threw up so we saved hers to bring up there too. On way to pick our cat up from the vet we brought food with us and stopped at restaurant. Talked to guy at front counter think was the owner. He asked what I wanted him to do. I said I want a complete refund. He said you paid by card I can't give a refund ill remake it for you. There was no way in hell I was going to eat anything from that place anymore. I said just give me a refund and he said no. I said you can give a refund you just dont want to. I said I will just dispute the charge with my bank and said a few choice words and left. So if you decide to eat there check over all your food before you eat there or just dont go. I will never step foot in that place again. I read a post about someone finding a roach in soup and someone commented no pictures no proof well here's my pictures of the mold for proof.

    It's a typical Chicago breakfast and lunch place. Pancakes, eggs, sandwiches, etc. I was looking for a spot to get a salad. They had a few options. It was fresh and plentiful. Good lemon rice soup too. We had the best waitress by far. I would have given it a better rating had I not witnessed the rude treatment another waitress was providing. A family was seated with special needs adult children. She was short and snippy. Left the table because they didn't answer quick enough. I had no problem understanding their order sitting 10 feet away, but she kept acting like she couldn't understand standing right next to them. I would go back, but I'd definitely want the waitress we had today.

    This was our first visit as our usual breakfast go-to was only serving carry out orders. After seeing the long line of people waiting for a table here, I assumed the food would be worth the wait. Well, I was partiality correct. The hashed browns were good, but the coffee was weak and the bacado was just okay. I'm not a fan of cheddar cheese with eggs. They don't carry pepper Jack or Monterey Jack, so hence the cheddar. The omelette was huge. Instead of the cook dicing avocado and putting it inside the omelette, the cook put it on top. I prefer it inside the omelette. The pancakes would have been good but were cold. The highlight of the meal was the warm hospitality shared by the server, which is why I gave the review 3 stars. Will I give this place another chance? Maybe...

    This is a restaurant that feels like a neighborhood comfort space. The staff are delightful, the restaurant is pretty, the restrooms are clean, and the overall atmosphere is energetic and welcoming. Hailey, my server, was phenomenal! Very professional, attentive, and prideful of her work. The food was just "ok" however. I had the chorizo omlet with pancakes and hash browns an the flavor for the omlet could have been better. It could have been just that particular menu option so I'm open to giving this place another shot when I'm back in town. Overall, it was a good first visit.

    Found the place to be spotless ...I am sure due to Covid the menu has been cut back but still the selection is good. The service was spot on from the moment we walked in the food came out quickly and hot which is a major plus

    As usual, I enjoy searching for Black-owned restaurants and bars to frequent and this was a great…read moreaddition to my list. I visited during a Saturday afternoon and was surprised with how empty it was. It was one other family that were in the middle of their meal so I was a little nervous. Luckily, the emptiness wasn't related to the quality of the food because it was good. The crawfish etouffee was well seasoned and had a bit of a kick to it if you enjoy spice. They do have a full service bar with cocktails; I ordered a mixed drink and while it tasted fine, I could hardly taste any alcohol in it. The service was also a bit slower than I'd imagine considering that it was empty when I dined. Despite those minor shortcomings, I enjoyed my dining and would keep it on my list of places to consider in the future.

    I'm done. I've tried this place at least 3x's over several years, and each time I'm hopeful, and…read moreyet, each time im disappointed. I took my mom here for lunch yesterday, and after seeing some recent reviews, I thought things had improved, but yet again, i was disappointed and the food is still mid at best. My veggie omelet was greasy, hash browns were nothing special, pancakes were ok. Ordered the fried chicken wings for more protein, I only ate one as they lacked flavor and tasted old or like they were cooked in old grease. Mom had the perch plate. The fried fish was soggy, no crisp. The red beans and rice were really just bean paste over rice, and the flavor was odd, had me questioning whether they were spoiled. They offer 3 different cakes for dessert options, and they were all out of all 3!!! But besides the food, it was 83 degrees outside and they didn't have the air on. I asked about it and was told the air WAS on, but yet even their own staff was walking around fanning. It reached a point where the heat was unbearable and we left, I took absolutely nothing home. The only great thing about the experience was the staff, our server was super, duper friendly and I appreciated that, gave her a big tip. Yep, 3 strikes, I've learned my lesson, I won't be back.

    I came in for breakfast and left wishing I hadn't. The food was honestly hard to get through cold,…read morepoorly cooked, and lacking any real flavor. For a breakfast spot, that's a big miss. The staff made it worse. Service was rude, unorganized, and it felt like we were an inconvenience just for being there. No greeting, no check-ins, no urgency at all. On top of that, the restaurant itself was dirty. Tables weren't wiped down, floors looked neglected, and overall it just didn't feel clean or welcoming, which makes you question what's going on behind the scenes. There are way too many good breakfast places out there to waste your time here. I won't be back.

    I had high expectations based on reading some of the reviews, but was disappointed in a few…read morethings...the food, the service, and how LOUD it is inside this place. I ordered the Brisket Hash and Eggs - it also comes with either toast or pancakes - I chose the pancakes, which actually was the best choice and best food I had. The coffee is also pretty good. Bold and HOT. The Brisket Hash is served in a smaller cast-iron dish on your plate. It's super dry. I think it's mixed with some hashbrowns and onions and some spices. But it was way too dry and didn't taste like smoked brisket, so if you were hoping for that taste of brisket, this isn't the right choice. It also comes with eggs and I had them over easy, other than still a little runny and not cooked through, they were okay. The pancakes were the best though. Super soft, comes with butter (on the side) plus syrup and a small tiny cup of applesauce (tasty). They had good flavor and was perfect. Someone at our table also ordered the Biscuit and Gravy. It's a super large flaky biscuit (way too dry) and some dark sausage gravy that tasted more like flour than sausage gravy. It was definitely thick, but the flavor was off. We did not finish it. Others at our table got just eggs, bacon and toast. Something you can make at home anyway, so it's hard to mess it up honestly. And one other person ordered the greek salad. The dressing comes ON the salad already, and it felt like they could have served some extra on the side. Just wasn't enough. Plus the salad was served on a plate, not in a bowl, so salad and toppings fell off onto the table. Not the prettiest presentation. In fact, the theme of this place is - everything is served on a separate dish, so good luck finding space on your table. Plus I feel the prices are way higher than they should be for the portion size and quality of food. The other issue here is that this place is LOUD. Someone in our group uses hearing aids and they had to turn them down because it was way too loud. we could hardly have a normal conversation and there were just five of us at a long table. The chairs are another issue I feel. As you scoot in and away from the table, it feels like the legs are going to break from underneath you at any point. They are wobbly, and very uncomfortable. So, in closing, I wanted to LOVE this place, but it's just an overpriced brunch location with a large two-sided menu of bland food with the loudest rooms imaginable.

    I'm very conflicted about my meal here. The hostess/manager was borderline apathetic about me…read morebeing there. My waitress was friendly and on point always. My little table was a wobbly trial. I spilled my coffee just by adjusting my position. Also my coffee cup had that large starburst crack in the bottom of it. Do they know that the glaze protects people from harmful substances in the ceramic leaching into the coffee? The coffee was very rich and tasty though. My wait time and my food were great. It was well plated as well. So the kitchen staff did a good job. Even the hash browns were how I like them. I was just so turned off by other issues that it was hard to enjoy the food. What a frustrating experience! Based on the service staff I would give them another try but based on maintenance and upkeep issues and management attitudes probably not! I cannot recommend this establishment, unfortunately. I am hesitant to return myself.

    Giving this a 3/5 only because it felt very mediocre. We didnt wait long for a Sunday 10:30/11am…read moretime which was great. Hostess didnt really greet us with a smile, however. Our table was dirty/sticky/crumby when we sat down, the busser wiped only a portion of the table when he should have wiped the entire table clean. We saw ants near the window & on the floor. Waitress was kind, but didn't offer up much (ask us if we wanted coffee, other drinks, etc). Water glass was dirty at the bottom. Food came out hot, but chicken (chicken sandwich) was undercooked on the thicker end of the breast. We did mention this and they did comp us which was nice. This place is family-friendly however there is no changing table for babies/those in diapers. Food was fine, place was fine, but probably won't be back.
