    Tip: Watch out for the extra credit card processing fee--they add it on top of your bill. 2-Star Review Service: I was the first customer on a Saturday morning, and there was only one server working. While I understand it's tough to manage everything alone, the service was painfully slow. It took forever to take my order, and even basic things like coffee refills didn't happen. Food: The food was okay--nothing special. I tried the Santa Fe Oven Baked Omelette and pancakes, and while they were decent, they didn't stand out enough to make up for the other shortcomings. Extra Charges: What really bothered me was the credit card processing fee added on top of the bill. For a well-known restaurant chain with locations in multiple metro cities, this felt unnecessary and cheap. It's something you'd expect from small local businesses, not a big chain. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and the extra fee left a bad impression.

    New ownership since last visit here.  Very burnt sausage, the chef should not have sent these out.  They forgot to add cheese to the eggs.

    Down to 2 stars. Management changed, which doesn't always mean anything bad. But it's just not the same. Been coming here for years. Got very burnt sausage that the chef should not have sent out. Missing cheese on scrambled eggs. Overall wasn't a good experience.

    Vegetarian skillet and fruit
    Lexi L.

    I grew up going to Walker Brother's, so giving this place a try was an obvious choice. Basically the same menu and just as delicious! I ordered a vegetarian skillet (didn't see it on the menu but asked if it was an option) with scrambled eggs and a side of fruit plus decaf coffee. I also shared a side of pancakes. The hash browns were on top of the skillet which was a bit odd, but it tasted pretty delicious, and the pancakes were so soft and fluffy! The three stars is mostly because of the service. Our waitress was very sweet and clearly had a good relationship with regular customers, but she seemed to be a bit forgetful or slow with us towards the second half of our meal. We had to ask for our coffees/waters to be refilled a couple of times and that took a bit of time to happen (she forgot to bring back a water cup until we asked again). She forgot a side order of toast so we had to remind her as well as a couple of other things. Not a big deal at all, but I would just consider it as okay service! Overall tasty, mostly regular customers. Vibe is okay and good for small family outings!

    Apple pancake

    Richard Walker's Pancake House is located right near the Roselle I-90 exit, near Golf Road, in a strip mall area, near Harold's Chicken Shack. Richard Walker has the breakfast brunch vibe of other diners such as an IHOP or a Denny's. Although they server yummy breakfast, they also have lunch items like wraps, sandwiches, burgers, and salads. But yeah, breakfast is their thang! I had the apple pancake and if you have a sweet tooth, definitely give this one a try. It was tasty and delicious, with the right amount of apple and cinnamon syrup mix. I also had the grilled chicken sandwich, which came with lettuce, tomato, and a small side of fries. The chicken was A-OK, although the description of the sandwich said it was "moist", the chicken was not as moist as advertised. But it was A-OK. Service was decent, considering we had close to 20 at our table. No separate checks, so if you got someone who likes credit card points, let him/her pay for it has pay them back. Our waters weren't refilled timely, but our food and orders were correct. Overall, an A-OK experience. BATHROOM REVIEW: There are actually two bathrooms. One private bathroom in the back area, and a bathroom area near the middle of the restaurant. This review is for the middle of the restaurant's bathroom. Inside the mens' there is one urinal and two stalls. The urinal worked great and flushed properly. I didn't get a chance to check out the stall as someone was in there. Other wise, everything seemed to be in working condition and A-OK. Sit or squat? Squat.

The cashier (long black hair) she had an unfriendly attitude from the start--no greeting, no smile, and it felt like she was already irritated. What made it worse was how both the cashier and the owner spoke to me. They raised their voices instead of helping. There was a promotion for 3 bakery items for $5. I accidentally selected 7 items instead of 6, and I clearly told them multiple times that I only wanted 6 and did NOT want the extra item. Instead of fixing a simple mistake calmly, they kept raising their tone at me, which was unnecessary and uncomfortable. As a customer, I expect basic respect and professionalism. This situation could have been handled politely in seconds, but instead it turned into a negative experience. I won't be returning, and I hope management seriously works on customer service.

After we were seated, the staff quickly gave us water as we looked over the menu. I was not in the mood for a fancy breakfast so I went traditional, Two Eggs over medium, veggie patties (homemade), hash browns and pancakes with decaffeinated coffee with honey. The food came in a nice time, not too long and not too quick- enough to have a nice conversation while waiting. When the food came, everything was cooked to perfection. The eggs over medium, the hash browns were cooked and had that bit of crunch from the skillet. Pancakes were a nice size. And the veggie patties were tasty! The coffee with just honey hit the spot. It appears everyone else really liked their food as it was pretty quiet. Lol. I enjoy this place especially bringing family and friends from out of town. Good times and great memories.

Instead of ordering a traditional breakfast, I decided to try their signature WB BLT sandwich. Even though it's a simple sandwich, it's executed exceptionally well. The sourdough bread was perfectly toasted, the thick cut hickory smoked bacon was savory and packed with flavor, and the gooey egg yolk dripping into every bite made it even more satisfying. The layer of garlic mayo brought everything together and elevated the sandwich to another level. This sandwich alone is worth the trip. I'll definitely be coming back more often as long as I can avoid the crowds.
