Went there for breakfast and was delicious! Kind and attentive service. I had the eggs Benedict and they were perfect. My Mother loves her hash browns very crisp and the first thing that they asked if she wants them crisp! Great food and great service. read more

Wood’s Corner - Classic Benny - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Crete, Illinois

Love this place. We will stop in for breakfast before we start work at Asgard Arms. Every time we've been there the food was great and the service was fantastic. read more

The food is classic diner food and the price point is good, but I'd rather get a pizza in town. There aren't any good diners in Crete and this was my last hope but it wasn't what I wanted read more

This is a fairly new place to my knowledge. Went for breakfast the other day. I had a veggie omelette. It was a very good size serving and tasted great. I always ask for crispy hash browns and they were done as I asked. Only down side was a there a fair amount of grease on the plate. They are a breakfast and lunch place so hours are limited. They have both Mexican and American food. It is hard to find a breakfast place in the area where I live so I need to travel a bit. Service was good and I enjoyed my meal. read more

The food here is always great. The owner/chef is a really great person. He always goes above and beyond to make sure you get what you're looking for. The prices are very reasonable. My wife and I love coming here. read more

My torta was amazing.in the restaurant it was warm and welcoming.and the guy at the counter gave me a free lemon rice soup I'm definitely going back. read more

It's been a very long time since I've been to this building/restaurant. Beautiful on the inside, high marks for service, food is really good. A bit pricey, but no complaints. It's pricey everywhere you go. I'd recommend and come back again. read more

Tried breakfast from Wood's Corner for the first time this morning. I wanted to order for pickup and the menu on their Facebook page wasn't working, so I sent them a message on Messenger and they responded immediately and sent me pictures of the menu! Took a look at the menu, called it in, and they told me ten minutes! When I arrived my food was ready and was reasonably priced. The place was small, but cute. I ordered a half order of the biscuits and gravy. They were AMAZING, I should've ordered the full. So good I for got to take a picture until I was halfway done. My boyfriend got the hillbilly bowl with pancakes and he said both were pretty good. I didn't try it, but it looked good. We also got an order of the chilaquiles. Unfortunately, these were disappointing. I ordered them with over easy eggs and the eggs were definitely significantly overcooked. The chorizo was more like ground beef, not enough queso, and the flavor of the salsa roja was off. I would definitely still order from here again, just not the chilaquiles. I'll stick to the biscuits and gravy and maybe try the bamma Benny next time! read more

staying in the area for a few days and I am a breakfast person, so I was searching out a non-chain restaurant for my morning fare. This place is the bomb and I mean that in a great way! I've had breakfast there the last two days and I was waiting to write review just to make sure that they nailed it the second time as well. And they did. the first day I ordered the standard fare of eggs, bacon, country potatoes, and toast along with my badly needed coffee. On day two, I ordered a breakfast bowl which consisted of eggs over easy on top of country potatoes with green peppers and onions. Pancakes on the side and coffee. I have to tell you both meals came out, hot and tasty and filling. Plus, the portions were a good size. in fact, I could not finished the bowl on day two. The service was exceptional, I never had to ask for a coffee refill, the prices are reasonable, and the place is spotless. Even the bathrooms are clean. the staff says hello when you walk in and they say goodbye as you depart. Unlike the review by Karen R. farther down the list (isn't that name appropriate), this place rocks. If you are so particular about your palate that each piece of seasoning and flavor are scrutinized, then you're going to find something wrong no matter where you go. But if you're looking for good, hot food served by somebody that is attentive and nice, and in a clean environment, get your ass here and have some breakfast. Pictures below of what I had. read more

What a wonderful addition to downtown Crete. Thank you for fabulous food and great service!

This is a nice charming small town diner. The staff was aaa all around, friendly, prompt, and polite. The biscuits and Gravy was solid. The Gravy was generous, and tasty. The biscuits may have been pre made but were very good. I would skip the sausage links. read more

Cold fries and a very bland BLT. The waitress never brought me silverware after asking. No napkin so I went to the bathroom to clean my hands. Not impressed. read more

Clean place, attentive wait staff. Breakfast bowl, French toast and bacon were all cooked to perfection. First time there and highly enjoyed it. I will definitely return and recommend it! read more

Good food and service on a a Friday night. Steak tacos are very good and so is the Beef Barley soup. We have been here for breakfast and the food is excellent. read more

The food here is amazing. The menu looks so good that the hubby ordered off the menu with Chilaquiles and ordered a Al Capone special because he couldn't choose. I got the bacon cheeseburger I have been craving since watching The Menu on Netflix and let me tell you, it was exactly what I was looking for. I heard a rumor from the owner that they may expand their hours for a dinner menu. I really hope they do this. Excellent food and service. We will be back. read more

Sat for 15 minutes waitress walk past us went to people that just came in the door..she got rude with us when my husband said thank a lot..customer service is really gotten bad, this is why good places don't last, definitely will not go back read more

Sorry nice place. Friendly wait staff. Food eh!!!!! Got breakfast the other day. Really lame for what you pay for. Almost 20 bucks for hardly any food. Eggs small almost no hashbrowns I'd been better off going to McDonald's and I can't stand McDonald's. read more

Food has went down in quality since they first opened and was served cold. Definitely tastes cheaper which does not match their prices. The lady with the glasses was rude to us and hardly checked on us or gave refills and gave my wife an attitude when she asked for mayo while the younger girl stood on her phone the whole time. I do not recommend the burger. Very weird texture. read more

My parents just moved to Crete and took me here for lunch to try out some of the restaurants in the area. I had the chicken tacos and they couldn't have been more perfect. Flavorful, not fatty at all. The owner is such a doll. Service was fantastic! HIGHLY recommend! read more

My wife and I visit this place every month. The meals are delicious, and the service is excellent. If you happen to meet the owner, you'll discover that his passion for food is what makes everything taste so delightful! read more

We used to enjoy coming here but last time...was the last time. Ordered soup that tasted warmed up out of a can...waitress could barely hold plate because of her long fingernails! Gross..too many other restaurant, on to the next... read more

We live locally and it is so what of a food desert. I was please to find the local online and thought my husband and I would pop in for a quick lunch. We were greeted promptly and was able to pick our seating. Jenny was our server and was very cheerful and helpful. She was able to handle the whole restaurant effectively. We were pleased with our soups and entrees. We will definitely look to return for a quick bite. read more

4 medium sized pancakes, 3 sausage links ( one cold - obviously sitting around for awhile ) and a cup of coffee for $24. Definitely not worth it. About $15 down the street at Smokey Joe's. And yes, that's where I will go from now on. read more

The food was amazing. I had the French toast sandwich, which had plenty of bacon and and a large piece of ham. The hash browns were cooked to perfection as well. My wife ordered smoked salmon Benny, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the hollandaise sauce was delicious and the salmon was thick and delicious. Service was very quick, we will definitely return! read more

2.5/5 Honestly the food was not seasoned well. The avocado toast was not fresh it really tasted like the avocado spread from ALDIs. My hash brown were definitely over cooked and chewy and the veggies didn't not taste like they sautéed well at all. I wouldn't recommend any of these items but the water was very refreshing. read more

After returning for lunch, I would stick to breakfast ! The burger i had seemed to be a processed patty ? Even though the menu describes it as some special blend. Also it came out without the bacon it was supposed to have had. Double cheese ? Try a small amount of shredded, not even a slice. Not worth the $ at all !!! read more

We LOVE this restaurant! The food is great, the service is even better! The only problem we have had is that they keep expanding the menu which is causing some of the food to suffer... but we still go every week because we love it so much read more

great food , RIP OFF !!!' 6$ for 3 small fruit slices , 5$ for chocolate milk no refill, and a service fee charge . the food is good and workers are good but don't come if you're trying to eat on a budget they'll get you for every cent ! read more

Woods Corner is our family's go to place for breakfast and lunch! The food is always excellent and more then plentiful! The portions are big and you will not leave hungry! The staff is amazing and attentive! The restaurant is nice and clean! Do yourself a favor and go check them out! I would highly recommend the Axman's Poutine, and the Woods B&G! read more

So let me start by saying the service was great! However, the food was barely mediocre. I had eaten there several times since they first opened, and the food was amazing. I had not been there in a while so before I moved I thought I would go for a meal. I ordered a hamburger and fries which I had there before and it was delicious. This time it was just not good. The meat was different and so were the fries. I don't know what happened that the food went from really good to bad but I will not go back. Culver's burger and fries cost less and taste much better. read more

Very courteous and prompt service. Food was delicious and good quality. Has the Ruben. Wish they would have pointed our the specials before ordering. Definitely will be going back. read more

The food is hardly good and prices are ridiculous, service is not good. 1 ham and cheese omelet (that was not very good, canned ham and plastical type cheese) 2 small pancakes (waitress brought no syrup). One cheese quesadilla that was on a 10" shell (liquid/squirt salsa and what looked like green pea soup also in a squirt bottle), no drinks were ordered. Had to go to the register to pay $25, we (2 of us) left hungry. Definitely choose another place to eat. read more

Great New Restaurant. Staff is friendly & works very efficiently. The cream of chicken soup tasted like a fresh homemade chicken potpie. Delightful. Hubby ordered the corned beef hash. Wow. The eggs were cooked perfectly & the corned beef was smokey & tender. I had a cobb salad. Was huge. Packed full of hard boiled eggs, avocado, with fresh baby greens & the bacon was sooo good. I asked for crispy chicken rather than grilled & the server was quick with a Yes, Absolutely. We truly enjoyed our first experience. The menu is great. Looking forward to trying many more of the entrees & becoming regulars. Such a Wonderful new spot. read more

Food was good and service was great. The ambience was quite. The place was clean and very spacious

Not only the worst meal ever, but service was awful as well. I could undo if it was busy, but not the case. since it was a special and was only going to be on the menu through the end of November I decided to try the beef stew bread bowl. Of course it looks nothing like the picture. it only had three pieces of meat, two of which were all fat and I immediately spit out. A whopping two pieces of potato and the rest was all peas and carrots swimming in some god-awful gravy. I started to eat the bread bowl and my friend said send it back for $14! So I did and ordered a half order of biscuits and gravy. Needless to say I got charged for both entrées, never got an apology from the server or the manager who walked past our table several times and asked everybody else how their meals were. Unfortunately, I am not a TikTok or Insta person and did think about taking a picture ‍. Save your money!! read more
