Brunch Cafe-mchenry

Normally our go- to is Southern Belles in Barrington because they have amazing skillets but we decided to try something different. We were a bit disappointed in the variety of skillets and the ingredients in them that they offered, but that's just because southern Belles skillets are unmatched. We ordered the meat and potato skillet which comes with ham, bacon, sausage, and cheddar cheese. The skillet was over salted but overall it was a decent skillet. It was a bit of a small portion. It comes with a side of pancakes or toast which you can upgrade to any specialty pancakes, French toast, or crepe. The patty melt was just average. Nothing special. A bit dry, and my boyfriend didn't like how it came on sourdough bread. The stuffed waffle was my favorite item. The waffle was so crispy and the filling was nice and sweet. There were bananas and strawberries inside and it was topped with whipped cream. It is a bit sweet, but if that's what you're craving then it's perfect for you! We also got a side of the cinnamon roll French toast which I expected to be crispy but it was soft and almost soggy. The flavor was good though, especially with the cream cheese icing. Overall, the service was good and food was pretty good. They have a lot of good options, but if you're looking for a good skillet I would say this place isn't it.

Love this place just don't like doing delivery since they never get the eggs right. I always ask for shelled eggs (fresh eggs not the carton eggs) and carton eggs is what we get. In the restaurant we they get it right each time. I feel like when customers order food for delivery we should have the same expectations as dinning in.

YUMMY FOOD & GREAT SERVICE!!! I was most impressed with our entire experience. Even the gentlemen who buss the tables were on point and so nice. The omelets were huge and the hash browns exactly the crispness I asked for. The waitress was personable and even had a little conversation with us. The folx who checked us out were sweet as well.

Brunch Cafe is always great. So many things to choose from on the menu. Today, I had the Ruben New Yorker. That is one huge sandwich. I ate half and will take the rest home. Get the sweet potato fries! Best fries ever! I am going to learn how to make those at home. The service was perfect. Lauren did a great job and was very friendly.

I have a new favorite at this restaurant, which I have been to many times!! Lochs and bagel plate! The smoked salmon was the type that is moist and fresh looking. I stacked cream cheese, lochs, tomato, and red onion on a bagel half for a wonderful taste treat! I'll be having that dish when I'm there again!!
