Brunch Cafe-Fox River Grove

Great brunch restaurant. Bright & nicely decorated & the staff was very courteous. The food was cooked to perfection & delicious. We ordered the steak egg'squsite skillet with wheat toast, egg'ceptional with pancakes & breakfast panini.

Great restaurant in Fox River Grove, IL, with the best breakfast experience. The service is fast, the food is really good, and the ambiance is cozy. My kids enjoy the menu, and we have never had a bad meal here. I think the pricing is right as well. I would recommend dining here over other local favorites. The Brunch Cafe has the brunch/breakfast experience down right! We are repeat customers.

This is a nice place with a good ambiance, and good service. There were a lot of people but we didn't have to wait to be seated. We loved our drinks: coffee, chocolate, mocha and berry berry smoothie. The food was okay. I got an omelette and while it tasted okay, it was too dry. And the cheesecake crepe was good, except for the jam on top of it that was extremely sweet.

Came in around 10:30 me, my son, and his gf. She got strawberry short stack pancakes and a side of brunch potatoes, he got normal, i got chicken fried steak with poached eggs, also clam chowder soup. Everything came quick, Hot, and tasted amazing!! Our server was Stacy, she is a great waitress, continued to check on us, made sure everything tasted great, and kept up with the refills!! This place never disappoints!! The owner also checked to make sure all was good. Very fair pricing, great food, great service!! Tip well. They deserve it!!

As our first time, not too impressed with service. Server was not attentative as she could've been. Friendly when greeted and taken our order. Great clean, open atmosphere. Ordered the Berry explosion waffle and side of hash browns. Waffle itself was bland but with all the fruit you can handle made up for the bland waffle. Hash browns were small portioned and cold. I would give this another shot but will not hold my breath. Ofcourse there's always room for improvement!

We had a lunch delivered to our office yesterday and it was fabulous! Every item of the taco bar was delicious and their chips were the best I have ever eaten. I intend to use Brunch Cafe take out/catering in the future for my hostessing needs

Brunch is always wonderful. We had family visiting from Alaska and Morgan was our server. We asked her to take a couple pictures of us at the table and she did and the pics are amazing. Thank you Morgan for wonderful service. All six dishes looked like they were ready to have their pictures taken anyway. Highly recommended.

Favorite local breakfast place, Bright, clean and contemporary. Wonderful staff. Always a great experience!

I have been here several times for breakfast with a work group. It is always crowded, but we usually have a reservation since our party is over 10. The menu is extensive and they have something for everyone. The portions are massive and almost everyone took at least half of their order with them. Service is fast and efficient and even with a large party , our coffee cups were never empty. I am sure we will continue to make this our go to breakfast meeting place in the area.

I recently visited Brunch Café for a relaxed brunch,on Newyearday and it turned out to be a very pleasant experience. The café was quite busy when we arrived but we had reservations, so got the seating quickly to which clearly shows how popular this place is among locals. Despite the crowd, the atmosphere felt lively rather than overwhelming. For food, we ordered the Kaseria and a panini, and both dishes were really good. The kaseria was flavorful and well prepared, with a nice balance of ingredients that made it satisfying without being too heavy. The panini was equally enjoyable--crispy on the outside, fresh on the inside, and served hot, just the way it should be.The pancake was good The coffee deserves a special mention. It was rich, smooth, and complemented the brunch perfectly. Even with the café being busy, the service was efficient and the staff managed things well, keeping everything moving without long waits. Overall, Brunch Cafe is a great spot for a weekend brunch. Good food, quality coffee, and a lively atmosphere make it worth the visit. I would definitely come back again to try more items from their menu.

Way up northwest where the upper crust mingles, this place lurks just off the road. It was ger-jammed when we visited. Nothing earth-shattering, but solid cuisine. I had "Salmon Toast", which was basically Goyische Bagels & Lox; accompanied by a nice little salad wot I ordered with "French" dressing. Sweet but complimentary Go figure. Wife had Bacon and Eggs, with a side of FrenchToast. Both entreés fine, if unspectacular. The coffee WAS spectacular, however. Service was pro and friendly. Prices a bit higher than...but considering the neighborhood, understandable. It's a safe bet-eat there.

Just adding our next breakfast. Service was great, food is ready very fast and is fresh and delicious.

Gave me a raw steak (ordered steak and eggs) , server agreed but the manager refused to take it off. Wasn't being mean, not trying to get free food I wanted to pay for everything aside from the steak. I work in the industry, I've made mistakes in a kitchen, ish happens. If this is management's attitude towards an empirically obvious mistake that everyone could see, then imagine how they handle the things no one sees. Rugs pretty lumpy, I'd imagine. Avoiding this chain like the plague.

Brunch Cafe was excellent from start to finish. We've never been and we felt like regulars dining there. The atmosphere is very bright and cherry. It was packed full of people, yet we had phenomenal and attentive service-- Stacy was amazing. She took the time to explain the (huge) menu and was very personable. The food was also very good. I had a Peppermint Iced Coffee which was good, if not a bit too bitter. Our entrees were delicious and came out very quickly. I got the South Beach Scrambler (which was great), and my Dad loved his Egg'ceptional (eggs, meat and choice of toast or pancakes). I'm sure we will be back when we are in the area!

The best breakfast spot in the area. Nothing compares, friendly service and the food spot on everytime!

First time here after Kildeer closed and it wasn't disappointing. Service was excellent and food was also. Staff is friendly and coffee hit the spot on a cold and snowy morning. Parking is plentiful and the location is safe. Merits a return visit on a regular basis. You won't be disappointed.

I met some friends at Brunch Cafe for brunch on a Tuesday. I was surprised at how crowded it was for a weekday around noon. I was able to find a parking spot, but I had to park in the back where there were plenty of parking places. There is a sidewalk that will lead to the front door. We didn't have any trouble getting a table for four, but it was pretty full. I ordered the black and white Belgian waffle. This is a Belgian waffle with milk chocolate and white chocolate chips and syrup drizzled on top. The waffle was perfectly cooked and topped. I also had a side of pork sausage. The server checked on us many times and was pretty nice. We were able to chat and catch up in a relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend Brunch Cafe, and I will be coming back in the future.

As first time guests @ this location -we usually enjoy Brunch Cafe in McHenry but accomodated long time out of state friends who recently moved to Cary- we appreciated our helpful and friendly young server last week, who made sure our coffee cups were filled. However, another waitress brought out an entirely incorrect order for us, then threw the kitchen workers under the bus for that mistake. When our breakfasts did finally come, they were stone cold-eggs, toast, etc. A while later, I was washing my hands in the ladies' restroom and, right in front of me, that same server was telling another waitress that the day was "a sh**show", which I thought was unprofessional in front of a guest, especially since the restaurant at that early time was not even crowded.

I went there in-between doctors appointments! The food was great, friendly, fast service and good ambiance! I love the Brunch Cafe!

Best brunch I've ever had! Service is fantastic, and the place was at capacity. Great food presentation, good value. Just can't say enough! Tasty bacon and triple berry crepe!

Our waitress made a joke about each of our concerns. A friend had eggshells in his Eggs Benedict - this was laughed off. The coffee was far too strong - again another joke. The manager was clearly very busy, and I did not want to disturb him, but I wish that I had. There were other problems with the food (rubbery eggs), but after being brushed off each time, I saw no point in mentioning it. Over $80 for breakfast (4 people) deserved better service.

Came for my mom's birthday. After a very short wait we were seated and quickly got our order in. The food came out promptly and was delicious. Will return there for sure

Delicious breakfast with a great wait staff. I was seated immediately. Ordered the Berry Explosion Waffle and a side of corn beef hash. The menu is loaded with crepes, pancakes, waffles and egg dishes. Lots of choices. The waffle was cooked perfectly. Nice and fluffy and crispy at the same time. Not thick like a Waffle House waffle. So many berries that were ripe and flavorful. No mushy pieces at all. The corn beef hash was pre-made canned stuff, but I like that. I would definitely recommend

We just moved to the area, and after a few visits, we can tell this is going to be our go-to breakfast and brunch spot! Super friendly and fast service. Interior is clean and cozy. Our family of four loves the food, and the wide booths!

If you have been to Fox River Grove, but you have not been to the brunch cafe, then you have not fully been to Fox River Grove. The pinnacle of good brunch, friendly staff, great service, and good energy. Always a good time when I come here! Just have to be sure to reserve so I know I can score a spot. Love a fan, Viktoria Cowen

awesome service and great food! The vibe is so cool and clean loved it! I ordered the skillet and it was delicious and I got a cold brew coffee that hit the spot!

Small place so it does get crowded. The staff is friendly. Food was great! Everything we had was 8.5-9/10 I would have given 5 stars but they made a mistake on our order. I definitely recommend this place.

Great food, reasonable prices, and friendly service. Even if they're busy, we can always get a table within a few minutes. Accommodating with food allergies.

Our go-to. Great for family, usually end up taking out of town guests here too! Lots of choices, savory and sweet, breakfast and lunch. Favs California scramble and their Cobb salad. Good coffee.

Love this place! One of the best brunches around with so many different options. Worth the wait. The service is always outstanding.

The food is ALWAYS of high quality! The staff is fabulously friendly. The spotless cleanliness is appreciated as well.

Ordered delivery today for lunch. Fries and soup were good! Love the portion of soup but the lettuce on the sandwich was gross!! Not brunch giving me old lettuce yuck

The best brunch restaurant ever! The staff are always so friendly and even when the restaurant is packed they always manage to get food out in an orderly time without compromising the quality. I recommend this restaurant to everyone I know. Prices are very reasonable as well. It's my go to brunch restaurant!

This place is amazing, the staff is so kind and friendly the atmosphere is calm and welcoming and their food is delicious. Not to mention the service is great! Definitely one of my favorite places for breakfast and brunch and 10/10 recommend.

The brunch chicken sandwich is always fantastic!!! The staff is always prompt & friendly... you're always treated like family on every visit!!!

Always a happy staff they treat us like family. The food is always fast like crazy fast. And the quality is unmatched.

With a great, diverse breakfast and lunch menu, this place never disappoints. But waitress Abby deserves a special shout-out. She's always sweet and responsive, grace under pressure -- especially today, when the power went out and she went on without missing a beat or a smile!

The food is amazing we had the breakfast turkey sliders with sweet potato fries so delicious and tasty the staff was so nice friendly good energy nice environment we will be back

If you pass by this location, you know it's almost always busy. The service is good and the usually are fast and efficient. The staff is helpful and friendly. I wish the food was better. I've been a few times where I've really enjoyed the specials but often I don't find the menu items to be exciting or anything special.

Brunch cafe is our regular spot for Sunday morning breakfast....even the managers know us by sight at this point! The coffee is always hot, the food comes out quick, and glasses never go empty. On the (very) occasional miss from the kitchen (once or twice an undercooked omelette), they've always made it right. All of the servers are great but special shout outs to Angie, Stacie, and Susan!

Love the location, the local vibe, and the food was phenomenal. Looking forward to eating here again!

Great service and food. Ordered the omelette and pancakes for my daughter, both were delicious

We were warmly greeted upon entering and were immediately seated. The place was busy . We had excellent service and everyone's food came out instantly after we finally decided what we wanted to eat . They had a large menu . Our server was great she got everything we wanted and could think of needing. I ll definitely be back!

Fine breakfast, friendly staff and food always served fresh and fast. This restaurant is well managed. Hard to beat!

Best breakfast/brunch place in our neighborhood. Very friendly service with lots of options on their menu.

Brunch cafe has been a favorite of my family's since it opened! Love it! The food is always fresh and the portions almost a little too generous.

I had the churro waffle and it is wonderful! The service is fantastic the restaurant itself was really clean and welcoming. I would recommend to family and friends! Carolynn

Great food and friendly staff. Great for breakfast and lunch. They also have specials. I love they offer side of pancakes with breakfast choices.

Great food. Great service. There are so many delicious menu options. Great place for families to eat. Good drinks, mimosas & bloody marys!

Great menu with a lot of options. There can be a bit of a wait, but they turn over tables quickly. I ordered the feta and spinach omelette. Sometimes restaurants skimp on the feta but there was plenty inside. Instead of the regular side of pancakes, I got a side of the carrot cake pancakes for an extra $1.50 - I'd HIGHLY recommend these. The combination of nuts, carrots, and cream cheese frosting was incredible. The service was good as well, definitely a solid brunch place.

Yummy food always! We love it here!!! The skillets and scramblers are my favorite! Fresh OJ is good too!!!

Never been or heard of this brunch specialty chain before a friend invited me, but I am happy to have accepted. This place not only has an amazing menu... The ambiance was cute, honey but not remotely worn out. This location is definitely a bit far from my normal stomping grounds, but not that bad a drive... and the service was spectacular. If you haven't been to one of these, I highly recommend it. There are some locations closer to the NW burbs. Bookmark away!

Fast, good, priced right. Food portions are fantastic always have leftovers. I highly recommend this restaurant and they serve bloody Mary's.

We went here a few weeks ago after reading the amazing reviews for this place. We didn't really agree with the 5 star reviews. The service was really good. The staff was friendly and helpful. Even though there was line they made sure to keep things moving along. The food itself was okay. We got the breakfast sliders, veggie potato pancake benedict, cinnamon roll french toast and and one of the ham omelets. The sliders were good but the sausage patties were way to salty, The benedict was alright, the hollandaise sauce was very lemony but i did like how it came on potato pancakes. It was very unique and different but in a good way. The cinnamon roll french toast was literally a cinnamon roll sliced, dipped in batter and pan fried. It was good but i think we were expecting french toast with cinnamon roll flavors. The ham omelet was massive but a little dry. Overall it was an okay brunch spot. It's not nothing I'm dying to go back too but if we were in the area again we'd give it a second chance.

Solid brunch with a friendly flare. The food is solidly priced and decent, but nothing to write home about. 3/5. BUT- the service was above and beyond. I frequent the great American diners. Special places where you order 'usuals' and sass is served as a hearty side dish accompanying every breakfast. This is one of those great American diners. My loves coffee creamer. Goes nuts for the stuff. He'd sell his soul for a pint of hazelnut creamer. Anyway, he was overjoyed finding one of his esteemed hazelnut buddies buried in the creamer pile. That's nothing special, lots of places have creamer. What's really great, our waitress comes back with a whole slew of hazelnut creamers. This is the kind of place I'd come back every Sunday, dragging my kids and eventually my kid's kids. I want to know these servers names, get them gifts on their birthdays, and hear about their children's kindergarten plays. Unfortunately, this was a random brunch so I won't get the pleasure, but you should check it out.

Lovely cafe with easy seating, extensive menu, friendly service and delicious food. We highly recommend and will definitely be back if/when we're in the area again.

It was crowded when I visited. Most tables full and I had to park behind the building and walk around. Not ideal but not a huge deal either. Food was good and service was okay
