Five egg scramble
Ashley L.

Too bad that the other staff were weird creeps, because our server was good and so was the food. A waitress repeatedly backed herself into me after sitting the loudest table directly behind us, when there was plenty of other open tables. The staff acted as whatever the opposite of Midwest hospitality is. What an embarrassing way to consult yourself. Women haters work here. Pretty pretentious vibes for a small town brunch spot with pretty affordable prices.

Steel Cut Bowl

Casual breakfast spot with modern design. This place has an array of great options for breakfast. I was personally so thrilled to find out this place has oatmeal available. Most places that offer oatmeal bowls serve is plain with no toppings which is VERY disappointing since oatmeal can truly be a great meal when done properly like fruit n honey like this place. For this fact alone this is a 8/10 in my book. The staff are patient and kind, I would definitely come back again.

I had a few minutes to spare before teaching my class in St. Charles, and instead of grabbing something quick at Culver's down the street, I noticed a cute little spot called Eat at Syrup. What really drew me in was that they offered turkey bacon on the menu. Any place willing to provide a pork alternative is worth my time. The exterior is modern and very clean, especially for being in a strip mall. The interior matches that vibe--lots of clean whites, black lettering, and even a small area that's clearly meant for photos if that's your thing. The staff I interacted with were kind and helpful. I started with a decaf coffee with flavored cream and a shot of caramel. For my meal, I ordered the basic two eggs with potatoes, turkey bacon, and a slice of cinnamon French toast. The flavors overall were fine--nothing too bold, but enjoyable. I especially liked the French toast, though it was a little firmer than I expected; a softer texture would've made it even better. The potatoes were the only real letdown. They had more of an "air fryer" feel--light and a bit dry--when I prefer them more sautéed or lightly fried with some crispiness. They weren't bad, just not what I was hoping for. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. I enjoyed my meal, and I'd recommend it if you're in the St. Charles area. I definitely plan to come back and try more. For this first visit, I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 4. r

Tasty food! I got chicken and waffles. The service is good, but I always feel like they're hoping we'll leave quickly. It's bustling on the weekends, so I get it, but I'm going to take my time and enjoy myself.

Chicken and waffles
Emily P.

One of my favorite breakfast places in the area! I love the clean, pleasant decor and the fact that I've never had to wait for a table. Their regular chicken and waffles with chives was delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly (crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside). Our server, Amber, was the best server we've had. She was excellent at multitasking (she was helping all the tables in the area we were seated), friendly, and quick. She was great about the timing with asking how the food is, taking straw wrappers right away, and asking if we wanted to-go boxes and cups without skipping a beat.

Stopped in for breakfast and had about a 40 minute wait, which was expected on a busy Sunday morning. The food was good and their drinks are very refreshing! They offer a variety of fresh squeezed juices and brunch's tails. Beware the portion sizes are quite large for their dishes. I had the strawberry smash drink (not pictured) and would recommend for a spiked lemonade twist with fresh fruit mixed in. Billion $ bacon was smokey and sugary worth a try kids love 'em.

Santa Fe Omelette
Katherine C.

Very popular and busy place, we came at 10:30am on a Sunday and there was already a small wait, when we left there were several groups waiting. Large selection or brunch items. Portion sizes are decent, I got the Santa Fe omelette and only managed to finish half my food (didn't even touch my pancakes which I upgraded from an English muffin). I got their blueberry basil limeade which I enjoyed but was more tart than I expected. Service was good, they refilled our waters multiple times and didn't rush us even though the restaurant was busy and people were waiting.

Menu

This was only my second time at syrup but it was great once again. I got the mediterranean omelet which was amazing and I was able to get egg white substituted which was great. I also got a side of the cinnamon roll French toast which was delicious. My omelet also came with a roasted potatoes which were nice and crispy. Portions are very generous and prices are average given the area. Our server was very attentive and fast. Great experience.

The food was excellent I truly love their huge breakfast The chicken and waffle out of this world the link sauce is so delicious The ambiance is pretty neat And welcoming modern and clean The service was very prompt and the server was very nice Service is amazing we ordered fruit Lime aids out of this world The only thing I was disappointed was that the pancakes were raw in the middle I took a bite and bright them home for dinner and cooked them They tasted better

Chicken Fried Chicken with Eggs yummm

What a great place for to eat! We had my mom's 72nd birthday brunch here and they accommodated me and 17 of my family members. We waited a little bit to get our table but for 18 people, we expected longer wait. The food is plentiful and done well. We were all thoroughly impressed by how fast and tasty everything was and our server was excellent. It's not easy serving 18 people, but she was so nice. She even made my side pancakes with sprinkles and whipped cream so my little one could eat it as her meal. The food is superb. We basically ordered more than half of the menu and we were not disappointed. The chicken fried chicken was cooked perfectly. It was not dry and the gravy was the right amount of salty. My sister enjoyed her BLT-E A, and my nieces enjoyed their chilaquiles (humongous BTW) and crab eggs benny. Would definitely come back for drinks as well :)

Yummy waffles
Phil M.

Our service was top notch. The server we had was super friendly and did an amazing job. The food tastes as good as it looks. Huge portions. I'm a big eater and I couldn't finish everything. I am actually craving this and will go back again! Too bad we're from out of town because this would be a regular spot!

The food was quite good, as was the service. The only problem was the noise level. Would not suggest a party of over four.

The place was a cool vibe, but pretty empty compared to all the other packed restaurants downtown. While the offer reservations, it didn't seem like you'd need one.

Their preorder system is incredibly smooth, though it does require a bit of planning since you need to order at least a day in advance, and they are closed on Mondays. I scheduled an order on a Friday for a Tuesday morning pickup. I picked up a dozen GF donuts and a half-dozen chocolate chip cookies, and both were fantastic. They offer a ton of different donut flavors, though the ordering system limits you to choosing three varieties per dozen. I went with the banana bread, chocolate with chocolate icing and the brown sugar with chocolate icing, and they did not disappoint. The cookies were just as impressive, hitting that perfect texture without any of the dryness you sometimes find in gluten-free baking. The shop itself is super cute and perfectly set up for a quick visit. All the preordered to-go items are neatly laid out on a cabinet for a seamless pickup. If you have some extra time, they also have drinks and food you can order at the counter, a shared parking lot that makes stopping by a breeze, and a nice outdoor seating area. I will definitely be back to mix and match some new flavors next time.

They also changed up their cocktail menu, and we were super excited to see they had some new summer drinks. This is definitely one of my new favorite restaurants in the area. It's perfect for special occasions and date nights. The first two times we came we sat at the bar, but we came right when they opened and were able to be seated at a table. I love the candlesticks they have lit at the tables. There's a a view of the kitchen as well. To drink, I had the Dip in the Backyard Kiddie Pool (very refreshing) and Fresa Fresca (basically a strawberry margarita and it was super refreshing and tasted like strawberry juice). For dessert, we shared the oreo carjillo. It was pretty strong to me, but it definitely tasted like Oreos and milk! To eat as an appetizer, they gave us complimentary bread and butter and we ordered the sundried tomato oil to go along with it (a must). Their bread is so soft and fresh. We also got the bone marrow (forgot to get a photo), and it was some of the best we've had!! For our entrees, we got the two pasta dishes. They called them "small plates" but it was the perfect amount of food for us with our appetizers. I had the spicy carrot rigatoni pasta and it was super fresh. I love that they cooked the pasta al dente.
