It's not on the menu , but any of the pancake options can be ordered as a side of a single pancake , rather than a full order of 4. The Lemon Blueberry is the perfect compliment to any egg dish
I was recommended to have the Deconstructed Lobster Roll Benedict, and it was pretty good. Though, next time I'll definitely be trying one of the decadent looking pancake recipes.
White chocolate caramel pretzel pancakes are a must!! I've been going here for years and they're still my favorite sweet dish, you'll love them! For vegetarians , the breakfast sandwich is great!
Customizable fruit plate and potatoes loaded with cheese , what more could you ask for? My only complaint was the grounds in the coffee , but fantastic place otherwise!
Entire breakfast menu is awesome. Just went back for first time in 5+ years....still amazing
I recommend the eggs Benedict for savory, and chocolate waffle tower for sweet. I don't really like the atmosphere of the restaurant though, it's so noisy I can barely hear anything
Oreo Praline Flapjacks are delicious!! Just the right amount of sweet, without overpowering your tastebuds! Order them, you'll truly enjoy!!! :D
The white chocolate and carmel pretzel pancake is the best! Please do try it! Also, be sure to have your whole party here or they won't seat you. The person can't even arrive later and join.
Pumpkin spice pancakes are to die for, along with the breakfast burrito !!! Get the raspberry pear mimosa as well !!
The breakfast here is AMAZING! You better have a sweet tooth! Expect to wait in line . I haven't been in years, but it would open at 9:30am and a line would form by 9 to get in on weekends.
French toast and all the Benedicts are so good. Pricey drinks but phenomenal food quality and quantity.
It gets busy so come on a weekday or check in early and stop at any one of the cute shops near by while you wait for your table. Red velvet pancakes are a must try!
giant wait sometimes! Banana flapjacks filled w/ crumbled bacon , topped w/ praline sauce & creme anglaise. BLT benedict , red velvet pancakes . you can order 1-3 per order. check out all day specials
The side of fruit is no joke, enough fresh fruit for two people.
I asked for a plain pancake and they encouraged me not to order it because "they're not very good without the toppings".
The specialty pancakes and french toast are the way to go... and get the breakfast burrito while you're at it. Chicago landmark !
Order the specialty pancakes . It sounds like it will too decadent but it will be just right. I had the white chocolate caramel pretzel pancakes . They were amazing.
Holy amazing chorizo , avocado and potato omelette ! Also, they use soy margarine for everything - so no conflict for dairy allergies or vegans there :)
The BLT Benedict is the move for brunch
The food and drinks are phenomenal. Be prepared to wait up to an hour for a seat. Service is decent; wish the waitress didn't present the check while I was waiting. But it was well worth it!
The pumpkin carrot cake flapjacks are amazing! Get a single order as a "dessert " so you can order something savory on the menu too.
Get there before 9 or wait until 9:30. All tables will fill at open and the first one won't turn until at least 9:30. The breakfasts are awesome.
Shrimp Benedict is the best thing in their menu. Better come early if you want a table. And visit the Wormhole Cafe next door for a Back To The Future Experience.
We don't go here frequently, but when we do, I always leave asking "why don't we eat there every weekend?" it's consistently outstanding food, great friendly service and definitely worth the wait!
BLT Benedict is delicious; order a slide of the french toast if you are still hungry ????????????
Try the lemon & blackberry pancakes , as well as the avocado & chorizo omelette - in a word? Divine. You're welcome.
My favorite place for brunch ~ and the only place my Mom asks to go every time she comes to visit me in Chicago. My fav: Red Velvet Hotcakes Mom's Fav: Eggs Benedict ~ Another location in the South L
Great stuff!! Eggs with avocado was incredible. Good berry pancakes too!!! Friendly servers !!!
These guys know a good breakfast - wonderful atmosphere too.
They might be known for their sweet treats , but the sweet potato black bean burrito is one of the best things I've ever eaten!
Any of the sweet pancakes are absolutely necessary
Had the potato , avocado omelette and was delicious. Highly recommend
The chocolate French toast was a bit heavy but full of flavor!
Can't decide between sweet and savory? Grab your eggs and get a single pancake or piece o' French toast on the side. GENIUS.
Fantastic foods here- try the carrot cake pancakes if you want to have some dessert for breakfast !
Portions are huge and the pancakes are colorful, but don't hope for too much taste. The pancakes are tough and the toppings are just sugar.
Delicious brunch . I got eggs Benedict and it was incredible.
Fried egg sandwich on a croissant is wonderful but not as heaven sent as any of the French toast !
I can see why everybody is so crazy over this place! Well worth the wait. For brunch try the red velvet pancakes :)
For a lighter option try the tomatillo salsa scramble. Really good flavor, and tomato slices instead of fries .
Pancakes , breakfast burrito and French toast are all delicious!
Pancakes and eggs Benedict were great. Great brunch place !
Look for options like three-apple brioche French toast and Black Forest pancakes . Egg dishes--in massive portions--are also popular choices. Read more
Sweet or savory you cannot go wrong, I highly recommend the eggs benedict ! And the blood orange mimosa !
White chocolate caramel pretzel pancakes . Do it.
The leek pesto omelette with steak tenderloin, goat cheese , spinach , and butternut squash was delicious!
Get everything. Pancakes and French toast can be ordered a la carte. Worth it!
Get the shrimp avocado benedict while its still in season! Seriously the best bites of food I've had all summer!
fun pancakes !! Also had italian sandwich and was gooooood
didn't find the red velvet hotcakes amazing, but would go back again for the chocolate tower french toast and banana oreo hotcakes! be prepared to wait over an hour!
