The food was excellent. Service was mediocre and the atmosphere was decent. I highly recommend the corned beef hash. The Irish omelet was skimpy on filling.

Everyone's meal was perfect! We had a very short wait and quick service despite the restaurant being packed. I highly recommend!

Please update your Google profile to not offer the option to get on the waitlist through Yelp. It worked when we were here a month ago, but today it didn't. I watched them turn away four others before us like it was no big deal all the while the poor girl checking in never attempted to educate those people, nor myself, that the check in through Yelp does not work. The only reason I knew to check in through the actual app was because another customer told me when she saw us get turned away. Extremely disappointing.

Accidentally placed an order with the Peoria store when I needed to pick up from Normal. Their manager and staff started making my order without missing a beat and instructed me on how I could get a refund from the other store (whose staff were just as nice). Literally the absolute best customer service I've experienced in a while.

Good food, good service, patio is very nice. Wait time is a bit long, and it's a bit pricy !

This place is NOT gluten-free, they're gluten friendly. They're cooked on the same surface as gluten. Unfortunately I was told after I had eaten the "gluten-free pancakes." Our server, Terri, completely dismissed my questions and allergen warning. If it wasn't for my boyfriend speaking to the manager, we wouldn't have known until the reaction had started.

My sister and I popped in before catching a plane. Rissa was awesome! Super sweet and knowledgeable. Sat on the patio, very comfortable. Cinnamon Roll pancakes were super good.

The restaurant was clean. The servers were prompt and polite. I didn't try too much of their menu, but I did have the Irish omelet. It was just alright because it wasn't my style of omelet, unfortunately. So, I'll update this review the next time I order.

Very nice spot. Service was on point and food was good. But felt weird when I was literally the only black person there

Food was yummy, but they messed mine up. They did fix it, but I hate watching everyone else eat then getting my food!

Had an egg sandwich and some pancakes. The sandwich was good, not amazing, but the pancakes were amazing. Great service and location.

Excellent food - the bacon is amazing. Coffee was terrific. Service was terrific. Definitely pricey. If you're looking for your basic eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast you will have to add one of the carbs as a side order. $4 for toast? Nope - that is a bit ridiculous. We opted for the Senior +55 breakfasts which included our coffees. That was a decent deal for about $11 each.
