Amazing pancakes ! The wildberry pancake signature dish was fabulous. Service was timely and courteous. The tables are stacked too close to each other, bare 6-inch gap. Sitting so close was really annoying. read more

One thing about me.. I love a brunch and Wildberry delivered! My favorite thing about this place had to be that we could sign up via Yelp waitlist. Big fan! Once we checked in, we had to wait about 5 minutes for a table. Once seated, our waiter came over relatively quickly but I will say it was a packed Sunday morning for brunch and these waiters were RUNNING all over the place. I got the cinnamon honey latte and to be honest guys... get your coffee elsewhere. It was a very okay latte that I could tell they used a lot of sweetner to compensate. Food however? Delish. I got the plate which came with eggs, hashbrowns and I upgraded to chicken sausage. I also upgraded my pancakes to the specialty pancake and got the oreo smore and omg sugar galore. We also tried the cinnamon roll and berry pancakes and BY FAR the favorite was the cinnamon roll. Food here is great if you are willing to be patient for a table and its a cute spot! read more

Love wildberry. Been many times and it's always reliable. The new Yelp online waitlist is a game changer too. My go-to is the Rutherford omelette with egg whites, hash browns extra crispy, and upgrade to the cinnamon roll pancakes. My husband likes the chicken and waffle and biscuits and gravy. On this trip, my mom got the French toast though it was pretty dry and lacked flavor. But everything else was good! read more

Quickly seated for lunch on a weekday. Highly recommend reservations on weekends. Service was quick. I came with another person and we shared our dishes and still had leftovers! Wildberry is always a solid choice with the variety of their menu and quality of the food. But pricier due to the location. Service was quick for a lunch rush. We ordered - Denver skillet: my go to. You can decide how you want your eggs cooked - creamy Nutella crepes with strawberries: crepes were evenly cooked and drizzled with Nutella. Strawberries were fresh. Note: fruit is additional $3 - bacon & avocado toast: this was ok. For the price, I was expecting a bigger portion and more flavor - iced pistachio cold foam latte: good quantity for the price. This was quite sweet but the cold foam balanced it out - pancakes are fluffy One individual bathroom on the first floor. More bathrooms on the second floor. read more

I arrived here at 10:10am on a Wednesday with my two sons. I joined the waitlist on Yelp when I left my hotel about 10 minutes prior. We were sat less than a minute after I checked in. (I highly recommend doing this or making a reservation because when we left, there was LONG line at the entrance). This place was Busy! Someone brought waters right after we were seated. A few minutes, our waitress. At 10:31am, we ordered. I got the butcher block with signature berry bliss pancakes. One son got the kids Oreo smores pancakes with side of sausage. The other kid got the turkey pepper jack panini with fries. The food came at 10:55am. My pancakes arrived a few minutes later. My sons enjoyed their food. I stated my son's Oreo pancakes and i enjoyed it. My other son's fries reminded me of fries from checkers/rally's. When I tasted my pancakes, I was in complete awe!! They were soft, moist, and flavorful! I let my sons taste mine and they agree. It was definitely one of the best pancakes I've had! The skillet was alrighty; the pancakes were the highlight for sure! I highly recommend it. read more

Food 8/10. Love that they have so many gluten free options!! Gluten free up-charge of $5 is ridiculous though, especially with the gf pancakes being grainy. They weee fluffy though! The skillet was really yummy! Environment 6/10 for brunch on a Saturday. Veryyyy overwhelming in there. If you are someone who gets anxious in crowded places do NOT go here. Too many tables too close together, not enough walking space between tables. From our walk from the host stand to our table we witnessed 4 different collisions by servers running into each other because there was no space to walk. Customers running into servers and customers running into other customers. Very claustrophobic and stuffy feeling inside. Service 8/10. Great service until it was time to pay. Our server brought us out to-go boxes and we asked for the check and he didn't come back for 15 minutes and was no where to be seen lol I personally would not go back there due to the atmosphere alone. read more

Busy breakfast spot. Great service from the moment to we stepped in. Everyone was really nice. The food was good, but dare I say the pancakes were too sweet for me.... I added syrup before tasting, as a usually do, but it wasn't needed in my opinion. I tried both the traditional and cinnamon roll pancakes. I also didn't get my bacon crispy even thought I requested such. In the end this place is good and I wouldn't discourage anyone from trying out this spot. Whether with family, friends or colleagues I can see this bei g a good meeting spot. Now if they only had mimosas read more

It's my first time coming to a Wildberry. We chose this location because you can make reservations instead of standing in line at the other location. But I did enjoy having so many options; I ordered a regular breakfast. I tried the mocha coffee with protein but didn't like the taste. My friend had specialty pancakes and she absolutely loved them. They hey will customize your order in anyway. I do want to point out the service is excellent and everyone was very kind. The location itself is very beautiful and open. It is multiple levels; we were on the ground floor. read more

Another great breakfast at Wildberry. Weather was a little inclement today so there was no wait on a Saturday around 8:30 AM. I was warmly greeted by the front desk team and I think a manager and escorted to my table. I normally don't like to sit in the back room just because I end up leaving smelling like the restaurant, but it was fine. My server with short brown hair was super friendly and nice. I ordered the same thing every single time - Rutherford omelette with hashbrowns and pancakes. I am convinced that Wildberry has the best hashbrowns in the city. Portions are very generous. I think the prices are reasonable too, especially for the location, etc. You can easily share an omelette or another entrée. Can be a little touristy at times specially during the summer. I love the omelette. Just a solid meal every single time. read more

Had a wonderful experience at Wildberry pancakes and Café. They do accept reservations until 845 so if you can and have larger tables, I would definitely make reservations. We had a wonderful waitress named Victoria. We ordered a signature special pancake with berries and a French toast with almonds and strawberries. Also ordered a side of hashbrowns and coffee. I was so sad to find out that they discontinued the corned beef hash which had rave reviews. Can't wait to go back. It was clean quick and everyone was so friendly. read more

Wildberry Pancakes and Café is a breakfast/brunch restaurant that serves excellent pancakes and other breakfast items. It's very similar to Snooze in case you've been here. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - On my cold Saturday visit, it was very cold and packed. Inside the restaurant has two levels. I sat on the second level which allowed me to look over to the crowded dining area. Crowds = good. 1 Star. Service - I recommend you make a reservation or check the wait times online. Upon entering, you'll check in, and once your party arrives, they will seat you. Our server was nice and knowledgeable. After placing our drink order, he took time to answer questions about the menu and explain the specials. Nice and helpful. 1 Star. Food - I ordered the seasonal pumpkin bread French toast. The French toast was topped with a sweet cream butter and fruit, but I had to request syrup. The toast was soft, had a friendly pumpkin spiced flavor, and was enjoyable. However, without the syrup, it was a tad dry. And then when I used syrup, it masked the pumpkin flavor. Instead, I used my excellent latte to help wash it down. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. This was a specialty sweet item, but also on the menu was a Chicago Benedict where the bacon is replaced with Italian beef. Not sure if this is a great combination, but it sounds good enough for me to return. 1 Star. read more

I was told that you can't come to Chicago without going to Wildberry Pancakes and Cafe. Upon arriving at the restaurant and seeing the packed waiting line, I instantly knew this place is well-loved. Luckily, we were able to make a reservation on Monday, right before our trip was about to end. This particular location allowed reservations, which was helpful. We opted to share 3 different dishes amongst 4 people, while our 5th friend ordered her own vegan dish. The Napa Valley fig omelette feature was an interesting take. I'm not sure if I would try it again, but it was worth the unique try. The figs were slightly too dry in the omelette, but I did like the sweet and savoury flavour. I liked the slow-roast brisket hash. It was tender and flavourful. The side of berry bliss pancakes was awesome! We also ordered the Mexicana skillet, which featured avocado, chorizo sausage, and jalapenos on a bed of hash browns. Everything was good overall, but the portions are humungously big. We were left with a lot of leftovers that we had to scarf down before our hotel check-out. A few of my friends also ordered the house-made green juice, and it was surprisingly very good and refreshing! I opted for a lavender matcha latte, and although I asked for half-sweet, it still came very sweet. When I asked the server for extra milk, she brought it over right away. Overall, I wouldn't say the food was incredibly special. However, the cozy ambiance, the American-sized plates, the thick waffles and pancakes, combined with warm service, made it really great! read more

Wildberry is always my first stop whenever I hit Chicago. Their pancakes? Honestly the best I've ever had in my life. Absolute must-try. I've also gone off-menu with the French toast, waffles, and eggs benedicts, and everything I've tasted so far has been ridiculously good. Heads up though -- the wait is no joke. On weekends you're looking at a solid 1-2 hours because everyone and their mom is trying to get their hands on those pancakes. Totally worth it, just plan ahead. The staff is always super friendly and attentive, and the vibe is that classic diner/restaurant feel. No matter which location you hit, it's consistently delicious. Definitely recommend Wildberry! read more

Amazing pancakes and service. It's always a must when we are in Chicago. We've been here several times and have tried several of their breakfast items. Everything is very good. This time we stuck to our favorites, their signature Berry Bliss pancake and their wild berry Greek yogurt with a side of hash brown. I'm usually not a fan of Greek yogurt but this didn't have that sour taste. Just tasted like regular vanilla yogurt but lighter. Eating everything just all went well together. We also got the toffee honey latte. Very sweet but delicious! We went late Saturday morning but only had to wait about 15 min. You just scan the QR code near the door to be placed on the wait list. Love the openness of the restaurant, I actually prefer this location than the other one. Service was great! We had an excellent server named Katrina. She came to check on us several times and was so super friendly. Will be sure to come back again. read more

Wildberry Pancakes and Cafe - Slow Roast Brisket Hash Fresh pancakes add berries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

As indicated by the 2 hour wait via the Yelp Wait List, this may be the most popular breakfast chain in Chicago. It was absolutely packed and bustling once we were seated and they really kept things moving quickly by promptly taking our order and the food didn't take long to come out. Service was attentive and very friendly. While they're known for their pancakes, the menu is gigantic so there is something for everyone. I had the Wild Mushroom Omelette with mozzarella cheese, prosciutto ham, herb roasted cremini, oyster, and shiitake mushrooms. It's served with hash browns and your choice of pancakes or toast. I went with the pancakes and it was A LOT of food. I only had one bite of the pancakes. The omelette was very good but for that description of all of those mushrooms, I barely tasted any inside. I thought it would be full of delicious chunks of the mushroom medley so that was a little disappointing. Overall the food was tasty but I'm not sure what makes it so special to deserve that wait time. read more

We absolutely loved this restaurant. We came twice and both times the food was amazing! I had the fruit pancakes which are listed as the house speciality and for good reason. Generous amounts of fresh fruit and flavorful crème. I ordered mine without the powdered sugar and it was still plenty sweet. If you like pancakes be sure to get these. If you order an omelette you can get a smaller version of these on the side. That is what I did the second time after getting an omelette. The coffee was my least favorite. It tasted burnt on several occasions and they were a little slow on the refills. It was super clean and I would highly recommend it. I'd definitely come back. read more

My goodness this place gets buuuusy. Weekend wait with no reservations was upwards of 1.5 hours. A couple blocks away is the Northwestern campus and water edge, which makes for a nice stroll while whittling down the horrendous wait time. Service was prompt and courteous, and the busboys and plate runners were equally efficient. There is a single restroom for a very packed and busy restaurant. Berry bliss French toast: Overall a solid dish with fresh berries and decadent layers. I could have done with either or of the whipped ricotta or jam, as both of them overwhelmed the brioche and didn't fully complement each other. The ricotta was a touch lumpy. In the future I'd probably ask for these on the side and mix to my personal preference. Pancakes: Solid pancakes with a touch of crisp on the outside while still fluffy and soft on the inside. If you don't prefer a touch of crisp, this may not be for you, but I definitely prefer my pancakes this way. No overwhelming aftertaste of baking soda, always a plus. Pancakes also come in fancy varieties including toppings akin to the French toast if you so desire. Butcher block skillet with over medium eggs: I like the concept, but the meat mix in this skillet tasted stale and was not of great quality. I would opt for another skillet, but I liked the over medium eggs on top and mix of hash browns on the bottom. I'd come back for brunch, though only with reservations as I don't think it's worth a 1.5 hour wait. read more

We came to Wildberry Pancakes and Café after our shake-out run the day before the Chicago Marathon, and it was the perfect pre-race breakfast spot! We came with a local who is a regular (only during the week). We arrived early at 8:15 am on a Saturday and needed the entire party to be seated but were seated right away once we were all there. The place got really packed with a long wait by the time we left. The food was amazing the banana chocolate chip pancakes were fluffy and full of flavor, topped with plenty of fresh bananas, white and original chocolate chips with extra butter and warm syrup on the side. The bacon was thick and crisp, but I did feel the veggie omelet was too buttery. I ordered a side of cinnamon roll pancakes which were perfectly sweet and did not need any syrup at all! We tried a mocha oatmilk latte that came in a huge mug, rich and perfect for those with an ultra sweet tooth . An alternative to the latte would be the cold pressed green juice which is pictured with the omelette. The service was friendly and quick despite how busy it was (which says a lot, since it's a popular brunch spot). The vibe felt lively but relaxed. full of runners, friends, and families. If you're in Chicago for race weekend (or have a sweet tooth and just love great brunch), Wildberry is a must. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in the city! read more

First -I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RESERVATIONS. Please note THIS location allows online reservations the other one does not. Came here for a weekend brunch with a reservation. The place was completely packed with a large wait so I'm so glad we reserved ahead of time. This location is right by the art museum so it was perfect to come here before and walk off the food at the museum. They have a small counter to the left where you can order coffee, smoothies, or tea while you wait which was nice. We were sat pretty immediately but if you don't have a reservation be prepared to wait. The space is cute with lots of natural light, plants, and cute aesthetic. We ordered coffee & a chai tea at the counter bar before being seated and both were great. For food we ordered the Mexicana skillet, churro french toast sticks, brisket hash, corned beef hash, and berry bliss pancakes. We absolutely LOVED the food here, collectively one of the best meals we've had, everything was seasoned well, great portions, and hot. Our waitress was so friendly & attentive, great at recommending things and making sure we had what we needed. She helped us with a few food modifications and talked to the kitchen to make sure our orders were correct. That level of customer service and the food quality ensures we'll absolutely be coming back here! read more

Good food and service. Surprisingly fast considering the busy time of day that we dined.

We were craving brunch on our last day in Chicago, and we found this place through yelp. It wasn't the most reviewed, but it was close to us so we wanted to give it a try. I am so glad we did! Everything was so fresh, tasty, and the presentation was so cute. It was exactly what we wanted for a brunch that had traditional but fun options with a sprinkle of health. Our server was really kind, and he brought out everything at once. The wait was a tad bit longer than expected, but I think we preferred having everything come out at once since we were sharing. The restaurant itself is cute with two floors, and it feels very clean and spacious. This place may not blow your mind, but it's definitely a solid option. read more

Saturday morning was busy! However I joined the waitlist on yelp and that made to process faster and wait time easier. Greeting staff was friendly Ambiance was very loud and fast paced around you. A bus boy was clearing a table while standing behind me, tossing dishes in his bend. That was really loud in my ear, was kinda rude. Wait staff, wait time for food and food was exceptional.

The pancake is so big. It tastes soso. It needs more cream. In front of door, the guy calls names is racist. We waited about 1 hour although we had a reservation. He called others' names except us. We were mad and told him a couple of times, then he called our name right. The service was so bad. I never recommend here. read more
