This review is strictly for their family breakfast special catered. DELICIOUS! I recently went to an event where they had these breakfast trays catered from Andy's and the pancakes in the tray might be the best pancakes I've ever had! So light and fluffy. I'll have to stop in just for the pancakes! Other items in the tray were french toast, scrambled eggs, home style potatoes, and assorted breakfast meats.
This is a breakfast staple! The food is consistently good, variety of options, and great service. Small family diner vibe. The two salsas are good too.
I LOVE THEM!! Great place to have brunch. It's so much better than ihop or those other breakfast places. They get full pretty quick , a lot of customers come and go so you never really have to wait for a seat. The food is so delicious!!
Great breakfast spot! I tried the hot fiesta skillet and I can say that it was the best chorizo skillet I've ever had. The ambiance is cute with a classic diner look. The service is good because the food came out relatively quick. Highly recommend.
This was so yummy! I came today when I was early for an appointment. I got a side biscuits and gravy chicken enchilada soup and a side of bacon. I also had 4 cups of steaming hot coffee. The service was quick and the food was delicious. I wish the biscuits and gravy was sausage gravy but that's a personal preference. I was sad they didn't have chicken and rice soup everyday because I was looking forward to trying it. Will come back asap!
I'm so glad we stopped over here instead of a chain restaurant! We got in right at 830am, one of the first to be seated. I ordered a Popeye omelette: bacon, cheddar, spinach with a side of toast and fruit. Very filling! Our server was very nice as well. Can't wait to return!
Second time here. Food is really good. Smoothies are delicious. Highly recommend! Friendly service. Parking is a big tight though.
Came here on a random Saturday morning because it was voted the best breakfast in northern Illinois so I had to try it. It is located on the small strip mall on a major road. However, they do have lots of parking, which was great. They were not busy this particular morning around 1130 when we arrived, which was also great so easy to be seated and quickly Service was super nice very friendly and very kind I have to say. Maybe because they weren't busy or maybe this is who they inherently are. The menu is great. It has a lot of the basics and a lot of the traditional staples and it also has a great Mexican twist. I believe the owners are Mexican, which is great, because it adds a nice level of authenticity when you order things like the Chilaquiles or the Al pastor omelette. The salsa and the guac are super fresh and very tasty, and also have a really great kick of heat to them. While the portions in the pricing are very fair, and in line with the surroundings, I still look for something to really distinguish this place from others. Overall, though a great experience, and worth a visit.
