This place NEVER DISAPPOINTS! I’ve been to several locations within Chicago and suburbs, as well as one location in Dallas, TX. Not one bad meal was had. I typically order the red velvet French toast with eggs, bacon, and sausage. The portions are large enough to take some home. The service is amazingly quick and food is always consistently delish and fresh. Run…don’t walk there. You won’t be disappointed no matter what you get. SN: I borrowed a pic from TripAdvisor because I’m always too hungry to take a pic before finishing my meal SMH.

There was a bit of a wait, but I think it’s worth it for Brunch. However, I waited 15min for my coffee. The waitress was apologetic and nice. The food was really good but the pancakes were Luke warm. I was really looking forward to the pancakes. Next time I’ll tell them to bring them last. Otherwise, great atmosphere, good food. Parking is very limited, so arrive early and be prepared to circle the block on the weekends.

It was, at first, sad to see a mom and pop place turn into the exact same business but a franchise version. We still visit this location often for a brunch fix. The staff are really kind, one even tried telling me how to rearange my order so it would be cheaper with a deal. Also very helpful when we ask about food restrictions.

Formerly known as Grandma Sally’s, I enjoyed my 1st visit under the new name. The food was good. The service was quick. The staff was pleasant. I will most definitely return, their menu has so much variety and creative options. I’m interested in that Waffle Benedict. See you soon!
