They had the absolute best pancakes I've had! Ordered the would berry ones, fresh fruit on top. The coffee wasn't my favorite, but the food was great. I'd definitely recommend this place!

Oh this place. I miss it so much! Almost always packed because it's so good. The crepes are amazing! Actually, everything is. The skillets, pancakes, and hash browns are yum! Never had anything other than breakfast, but I'm sure that's good too.

First time we went there it was absolute crap. It was a busy Sunday and the food was mediocre at best. Service was even worse. Second time was amazing. The food was fantastic. It was a Wednesday morning. We were seated promptly and our food came out in a timely manner. The server had a major attitude and a stick stuck up her rear. I wanted to punch her in the boob. Every time we asked her for something it seemed to be more of a chore for her then it did her doing her job.

This place is incredible! I DID NOT like skillets... and now I DO! Thank you for dealing with my 100s of personalized requests including putting the vanilla anglaise sauce on my buttermilk pancakes. The service and food are impeccable!

The service was average, but it was really busy, so I won't complain! I got the turkey sandwich. The taste was good, but I expected a patty, so I was still disappointed (it was deli meat). Sweet potato fries were average. I would go for the regular fries. They're amazing. You can also ask for hash browns instead if you're feeling it. My friends got skillets, and they looked really good! I remember not liking it last time, but I will try it next time I go. One of my friends got the Mediterranean wrap. It looked okay, but my friend liked it!

My family and I took my mom to breakfast for her birthday, we arrived at 7 30 am ct and it was fairly busy. By the time we left at 9 there was a line out the door. I recommend you go early unless you mind waiting. Our server was just the best, very attentive, very friendly. The food was very good, and it was ready minutes after we ordered which was a shocker too! I will be coming here again. Lastly, my mom had a great breakfast. That wins me over. :)

If there is one place I miss most after moving from the area it is this. The food was always amazing. Always consistent with the quality. Their Butcher Block Scrambler is one of the best breakfast items I have ever eaten. Eggs were always nice and fluffy. Sausage had a great spice to them. The ham. Oh the ham. Always so tender and juicy. They also have some of the best pancakes. They're very light and almost taste like marshmallows. I never tried their specialty pancakes before but if their regular pancakes were that good. I would bet most of the others are good to. We would sometimes share a French fry. Which for a breakfast place you wouldn't really expect much from. They're actually really good! They have a soft inside but a crunchy outside. They also give you a pretty good amount. The only thing my wife says she didn't really enjoy were their biscuits and gravy. The staff is great. Even when the place is busy, which is usually always. They always keep their cool under so much chaos. The food would usually come out in a timely manner. If you're a first timer you should ready yourself for the wait sometimes. Almost everyone I've gone there was some sort of wait for a table. Believe me though, it's worth it. I have yet to find a breakfast place that even comes close to the awesomeness of Wildberries.

Girl's can be a bit complicated when it comes to ordering. It was a double date with my friends. My friend and I wanted to share something sweet and we also wanted to try everything. Good thing our server (David K.) was really nice & patient and explained everything to us. Our boyfriend's just rolled their eyes and said we made it so difficult. We ordered the slow roast brisket, chocolate chip pancake, berry bliss pancakes, corn beef hash with potatoes and their red velvet French toast. The slow roast brisket was really good, it melts in your mouth and it's got a lot of flavor. The corn beef hash was good too, but the shredded potatoes were not crispy. My favorite pancake was the berry bliss, it's got assorted berries and a special sauce on top to balance the taste and the pancakes was very moist. They gave us butter and syrup, but didn't really use it. Their pancakes are good enough that you don't need to put the syrup. Service was great, they refilled our drinks and offered if we needed anything.

Brought my friend's mom here for Mother's Day brunch on a Monday for vacation. She has been here before and said it was good. We were seated in this odd C shape table where you can't see each other, but meh, we were too hungry to talk anyways. FOOD: * Classic Eggs Benedict - The pork was the type that is cut from the pork meat (like spam-like). The eggs weren't runny, which was a problem for me. Every brunch place I go, I ALWAYS order the Eggs Benedict (see previous reviews) and I don't like YOLK unless it's runny. The runnier the better... the yolk... was COOKED!?!?! Whaaaaaaaaa NO!!! This is not cool. Yeah... it was meh * Pork - I ordered a side of pork which was huge and salty SERVICE: Standard AMBIANCE: Nice standard cafe PARKING: Tons free OVERALL: Meh... it was alright.

This is my favorite place for breakfast in the Midwest. I really wish they would open up a restaurant in Milwaukee where I'm from. Their best item is the different variations of berry bliss. You can get berry bliss topping on pancakes, crepes or waffles. It's a delicious combination of berry sauce, creme anglais, and a berry flavored mascarpone cheese. I love it on waffles but you can't go wrong with any option. Their omelets are light, fluffy and delicious. Also, the servers are extremely attentive to your needs.

This place can get very busy and expect long waits on the weekend. I normally come here from breakfast and have yet to have anything bad off the menu. During the nice weather to avoid the long wait ask to sit outside. Will continue to come back here :)

My husband & I went to Wildberry when it first opened up & I recall our 1st experience being blah. For breakfast outings, we usually go to Walker Bros and periodically go to a couple of other spots. So one day, my husband & I decided to try Wildberry again. And this time, I fell in love. Their buttermilk pancakes beat any other breakfast place out there!!!!!! Go ahead & take my challenge. I just love the decor of the restaurant, almost like a ski resort. The staff is very nice & their seating areas are comfortable. Now, when my husband asks me where I want to go out for breakfast, I lean towards Wildberry.

We expected a wait on a Saturday morning. We were given a pager, quoted a 40 minute wait, so we went and sat outside. DO NOT SIT OUTSIDE. The pagers may or may not work. We had just hit the 40-minute mark and inquired about a longer wait, which is when we discovered our pager hadn't worked. The hostess seamlessly fixed the situation, and we were the next table seated. I had the Wildberry Waffle with fresh berries and mascarpone. I suppose I felt a little more responsible getting a waffle with berries, even if it was slathered in a vanilla glaze and berry mascarpone. I would definitely get this again, or try it as a crepe or pancake. Dominic P had the s'mores pancakes - boy were these good, but very rich, so you'll want to be damn sure that you want dessert for breakfast. I had a side of plump sausage links, which were good, but by no means necessary. Wildberry was definitely worth the wait, and I'd recommend it for breakfast or brunch.

Shammy S.

Every time I come here the food and service is always amazing. Staff is very attentive and polite. Food is always cooked to perfection. The wait to sit can be long especially on week ends about 40 minutes so prepare for that. Best breakfast place by far. Would recommend to everyone.

Remember how Sally likes to order in "When Harry Met Sally", high maintenance? Yeah, that's me, and really, I blame Wildberry for that. Options. They have a ton of them and are super accommodating. Yes, you're gonna be up charged up the you-know-what, but when I can get my food the way I like it (relatively guilt free without sacrificing taste), I'm totally okay with that; like in a Meg Ryan pounding on the table kind of way. Ok, maybe not, but close. ;) Wildberry serves breakfast and lunch and honestly, my tastes BW (before Wildberry) would have definitely generally preferred lunch items. I was not a breakfast person, but Wildberry changed that for me. AW, I hold all breakfast places to a pretty high standard, and most don't live up to my expectations. I don't know that I'd call their dishes inventive, really, but I feel they just know how to cook proper yummy food. I adore their skillets and Omelettes. Anything with chorizo here is a winner in my book. I'm a spicy girl, I love the heat, not that their chorizo is super spicy; it brings just the right amount of heat. The Mexicana skillet used to be my regular, but I now am a calorie counter and eat less meat than I used to (both tragic), so I tend to stay away from the skillets as it's kind of loaded with everything, including hash browns. Nowadays, I'm an egg white omelette fanatic. And here's where the options come in: egg beaters or egg whites; opt for only olive oil; I want the garden omelette but take out the asparagus and add broccoli instead, and I like tiny pieces; switch out my pancake/toast side to a single plain crepe, no hash browns please, fruit instead- and bring the fruit out first; but if I do get hash browns, please add onions, and make them extra crispy; how much cheese is in that omelette...? Ok, I want half that. And so on, and so on. Oh yes, people, I am a friggin nightmare. But as freakish as I get with my order, the servers never make me feel that way. They are courteous enough to talk about me behind closed doors, and I keep myself under the delusion that I am a truly delightful and quirky human. At peak times, you are definitely going to wait to be seated, sometimes an hour. That's not always something I'm willing to do, but most times if it's peak, it's 30 minutes on my experience here in Libertyville. (Don't get me started on the wait time and parking in Schaumburg. I. will. go. off. Horrid!) And at least while you wait you can enjoy a free coffee, or pay for whatever beverage at their coffee/tea/juice bar in the waiting room. Nice touch. But once you order, it's usually pretty fast delivery to table. They are a well-oiled machine. I do have to give a shout out to the Los Altos chorizo Benedicts my husband orders. This is an outstanding dish IMO. I want to eat all of his when he orders it and I don't do poached eggs (ew), but it is just that delicious. Also, I've now started adding the chipotle to my items. It's basically adobo sauce (spicy), and they give you a lot, at least they did my first time (you might consider my approach, annoyingly ask for half of the usual amount). This blew my mind. I actually did sound like Meg Ryan when I tasted it. Face it, you should just have what I'm having. ;)

Words fall short of the ability to describe the delicious palette of wonderful dishes crafted to tantalize both your eyes and taste buds here at Wildberry Cafe. I first fell in love with their downtown Chicago location and was delighted to find out Wildberry has 3 locations, with this one just minutes from Great Lakes Naval Station where my daughter's graduation from basic training occurred. The food and service are exemplary here. Even during a very busy time (Saturday midmorning), our server engaged us in a short conversation, yet the service did not feel slowed down by it and we never felt rushed. Over the last two days we enjoyed 5 different dishes between the 3 of us; The seasonal specials Loaded baked Potato omelet with Wildberry pancakes, Napa Valley Fig omelet with pumpkin pancakes and toasted pecan butter (no syrup necessary), Rustic Farm Egg Panini, Florence Benedict, and the Mexicana Skillet. Our one disappointment is that when we return home to the Baltimore area there are no restaurants that can hold a torch to the quality, flavor, and style of Wildberry's brunch style foods.

We have been to several Wildberry locations and they are all so amazing! The staff is magnificent - the welcome ambassador, Dani, and her staff work so hard to make everyone's visit special. Dani is the sunshine and no matter how busy it is she has time to smile and greet each guest! She makes that place so happy and welcoming, you fee like you are with family! The menu is diverse to fit all tastes while the food is consistently delicious! Our favorite item is the cinnamon roll pancakes and the Berry Bliss(c) pancakes! They have an amazing outdoor seating area beautiful in the warmer months. This place is so awesome!! Definitely worth the wait!

Great place for breakfast. If you like a little heat with your omelette you have to try the Espanola Omelette.... Chorizo and avocado and cilantro and onion and lots more. Outstanding. The only downside is this place is so popular if you don't get there early you will wait a long time. A long time.

First time here. Got the Butcher Block skillet, and it was great. Eggs cooked perfectly, lots of cheese. Berry Bliss pancakes are also fantastic! Worth the extra charge. Fast service too.

Oh super breakfast goodness! My son and I had a breakfast date here. I was excited to get some one on one time. He was excited for the bacon. We both got what we wanted. My kiddo had the pancakes -- which were a huge serving for a kid. I ordered the omelet. Thick, loads of veggies and cheesy goodness. We left satiated and happy. Really, this place just serves a seriously solid breakfast. A hit from our perspective.

We come almost every weekend for breakfast and it's usually very crowded, but always worth the wait. Everything I've ever tried has been amazing, especially the Cinnamon Roll pancakes...no syrup needed! The servers are outstanding and very attentive to your needs. That is why we keep coming back!!

The Resturant: Beautiful restaurant from the outside and in. Plenty of parking for a VERY busy restaurant. Inside, it has plenty of seating and has a coffee/juice bar near the waiting area (unsure of what else they may serve at this bar) which I found convenient and darling. The women's bathroom is clean and stocked, however small for a packed restaurant. Food: Always served beautifully. Each plate is visually appetizing! The menu has a great variety for both breakfast and lunch. My favorite is breakfast, I order it every time. Thus far, I have ordered the California Fig omelette twice and the Rustic Farm omelette on the ciabitta bread. Very good. My fiance ordered the burger and frys and said it was "okay". He wished he had ordered breakfast. Coffee is good. Atmosphere: Always busy here. Lots of waiters rushing by. Almost always running/bumping into one of them if you get up for any reason. Friendly but rushed staff. Comfortable seating in the booths. Prices: Though the food is good, I feel like the prices are moderate to high. The bill for two people (with tip, almost always comes out to 32-38 dollars. In Closing: I know I will be back for sure at some point. It's a pretty restaurant, the food is good, and overall it is an enjoyable experience. However, I can't help but feel like its overrated. I definitely will be trying out other restaurants before returning to this one.

I don't normally make it out to these parts, but the wife heard great things about Wildberry Cafe. We were getting over our hangovers from a wedding, and brunch was needed for a cure. We showed up to Wildberry, and noticed one of the largest parking lots for a restaurant. We were told there was going to be a 30 min wait, and were given one of those coaster thingies that light up and vibrate. I'll always think of Fudruckers when I get one of those. Anyhoo....we killed time by shopping at the super large ACE Hardware store next door. After 30 mins we showed up and only waited another 5 mins. Once seated we were met by a super friendly waitress that took our order. (only after my wife looked at the menu for 10 mins!...too many great options to choose from!) I ordered the Mexicana Skillet, which had chorizo, eggs, cilantro, avocado, and onions. It was really good! My wife ordered the eggs florentine. They liked them so much she didnt' have leftovers. The dishes had fresh ingredients, and the coffee was Intelligensia. I'd certainly look for another Wildberry close to a family member to get them to buy us brunch.

I love this place! The food is great, if the service were better if out five stars! I once found a hair in my pancakes and the server got so rude when I told her like I was making it up or I put it there....it was straight and blonde! The manager came and straightened it out but I didn't like the girls attitude. Anyway the food is still phenomenal and I love this place anyway!

This is a "Must try" type of restaurants. Whenever I visit Chicago area, I make sure to have a breakfast at this place. The menus is great, but the wild berry bliss pancakes are my favorite.

Joshua S.

Great food, okay portion size, okay service, almost worth waiting 45 minutes just to sit down...almost. I will add that we only go here during their busy time. So maybe I'm being a bit to tough.

Jonna H.

Yet another review is likely not needed, haha. I'll add my 2 cents quickly. Expect it to be busy- anytime you go. I've only had breakfast but it's quite tasty. Nice thick cut bacon, good coffee drinks, great OJ, and the signature wild berry pancakes are to die for! Staff is friendly and attentive. They also clear tables and get them re seated very quickly. Definitely a very popular place to eat.

Ice F.

Hands down the best breakfast place I've been to! I wish I'd been able to come here often but with the few times I've been, the Los Altos Benedict never disappointed. Their pancakes are delicious, I'd recommend the chocolate chip. Expect long wait times, especially on the weekends. But you know it's well worth it when others have been waiting for 30-45 mins!

Good brunch spot. Solid joint long waits they serve their own jam which is just OK. They do have an impressive menu with a lot of unique choices. Fresh squeezed orange juice as well and an entire cafe of coffee choices.

I love coming here for an excellent breakfast meal. I always get stacks of pancakes. The sides are always amazing and some times I just debate going a la carte and ordering all sides. That would stack up quickly in price. Service at the table is always friendly and attentive.

Robin C.

Sunday lines can look intimidating but it's actually really fast, and it's worth the wait. Brisket hash and side of brioche French toast was delicious! Oh, and try the cinnamon pancakes!

Jennifer Q.

Love this place, everything tastes great. I would only complain that it's always crazy packed on weekends but that's how you know their food is great. Their cinnamon pancake is my favorite, tiramisu one was good also but didn't like the chocolate syrup on top. Staff is friendly, prices are decent. Good for children, families and groups of friends as well.
(5)
Michael V.

Great food in general. However the pancakes are absolutely amazing. The atmosphere of the place is also wonderful. Nice music and great decor. You'll especially notice the elegance of the building and its architecture. The prices are also more then reasonable. This place pretty much feels like a high end, classy breakfast place but definitely doesn't come at the price. The service is also phenomenal, came around and asked if everything was good, coffee/water refilled about 4 times with a to go coffee offered. Literally the best service I have ever experienced. Definitely recommended.

The service is excellent! The slow roast brisket hash and their berry bliss pancake is great. I would definitely get this again.

Tony P.

The portions are large and many dishes are very flavourful. I used to come here quite often. The only minus is how busy it is, especially on weekends. The parking is large but often is very crowdy. I guess it just proves the point that food is very good.

ChicagoItsMe C.

Their waffles are the best I have had! I usually get the Blueberry glazed waffles, they are light and fluffy and the blueberries are fresh. Their pancakes are awesome too and you can get the 'specialty' pancakes on the side with your breakfast entree for a small charge. Totally worth it. Their signature berry bliss I find it a little too sweet. Portions are large. Corned beef hash tastes okay (Walker Brothers is much better for corned beef hash, thick sliced bacon, and dutch pancake). Service is consistently good. It is a long wait during peak time. Go early before 9am or after go after 11am to get seated quickly.

Dan C.

You are in for a treat, when you go here, but go early! This place gets crowded fast, but if it does...just jog across the street and do a little shopping at Walgreens and then come back!

Chi N.

I personally prefer this to the one in the loop. More space with less hectic ambience. You'll have to wait an hour at least of you come after 10am during weekend, regardless though. Definitely try the Signature bliss berry pancake!

Lacey K.

My boyfriend has eaten here before and could probably live at this place. He swears by their cinnamon pancakes. I had the Florence Benedict and it was pretty good. I would definitely stick to the regular Benedict next time only because it was a lot of spinach for me for breakfast-still good though. The were busy so expect a wait. It's totally worth it if you wake up hungry.
(5)
Stephanie M.

I love the food here especially for breakfast. . Only thing I hate is the wait to be seated.. the line is usually out the door.. they need a new location so that the Libertyville one isn't always packed. . Servers are usually great..
(4)
Ryan B.

Food is amazing! Service is okay. Our waiter wouldn't look directly at us and was constantly looking around hyperactively. The signature berry pancake upgrade to the two egg whites with turkey sausage is a must. Yes, it's $1 more but worth all 100 pennies. Portion size is enough to share between two people. Berry crepe also delicious not as big of an entree (can't share). Garden veggie omelete is big enough to share and also comes with hash browns or fruit and toast. All under $10! Coffee: don't waste your time. Unless the recipes have changed it's watered down and better off with fingers at home. Overall great breakfast food at a reasonable price.

After much discussion on where to eat after my brother-in-law's graduation from basic training, we wanted to make sure we landed somewhere awesome. When my brother and his wife lived in Great Lakes years ago, they loved Wildberry and told us that we had to go. Thus, we happily obliged. We made it in a little before noon on Friday and the place was still pretty hoppin'. We only waited for about 15 minutes in the entrance way and it wasn't bad at all. Everyone was rather nice and communicated wait times super accurately. HUGE score for having a coffee bar at the front serving up Intelligentsia coffee. Grabbed an iced coffee whilst waiting and I was happy as a clam. We were seated at a giant booth. Easily enough seating for our group of six and we could have squeezed a few more butts in the seats if we needed to. Super cozy, too. Our server came over immediately and dropped of menus. This place is a pretty well-oiled machine. For food, we all ordered a crazy menagerie. I had to go with the Signature Berry Bliss French Toast. It was wonderful. Thick toasts, cream cheese-y filling, tons and tons of berries, and a few drizzles of berry reduction and syrup. It was intensely wonderful. Definitely not for the faint of heart or someone who just wants to halfway eat breakfast/lunch. It's a huge portion and I could only tackle about half of it. With a side of hashbrowns, it was a hugely fulfilling and filling meal. My wife had The Garden skillet. It was ok. Some of the veggies were a little less than palatable and had some odd textures. Nothing too special, but the presentation of each skillet I glanced at was gorgeous. My brother-in-law got a great burger which had a seriously amazing onion jam. I would eat that off of anything. There were a few other items amongst our group -- Prime Rib Onion Dip looked great as did the Bacon Havarti Burger. I'd head back in a heartbeat. It was a quantifiable success and the price for our group of 6 wasn't outlandish by any stretch. Great stuff.

Jumpin' junipers Batman, this place is overrated! (Batman TVshow trivia, go to wikipedia and see a complete list of crazy phrases starting with "holy" that Robin uttered on the old school television show. There are a lot and it will blow your mind. You could probably go over this list with your group as you wait forty-five minutes plus for a table.) Dudes, what is all the hype about. This place is grossly overrated and for what exactly? The fare is the stuff served at most brunch spots across the city and guess what suburbanites.. there isn't any wait! Well, unless you hit a "hot spot." For that gross amount of time you've been gnashing your teeth wondering what the heck is taking so long, you could make use of the lowered gas prices and take a short trip into the city! And for those willing to make that trip, there is a gas station located across the street. I don't implore anyone to run to Chicago for every meal but get to know your surroundings. There are many "mom and pop" diners in the burbs with a decent brunch menu that could challenge Wildberry's five star rating. Yes, places within a twenty minute drive that are as good. Unbeknownst to me the other day, I've been here more than once! How did I forget.. This is my woman's favorite suburban brunch so hopefully she doesn't read my commentary, because I HOPE; never to return. (If I'm forced to, I'll get a salad) On my most recent experience; the waiting time plus interaction with guest services and the random encounter with a good or semi-decent waiter is not worth the ninety minutes we put into waiting for a table. NOT. Then you add in the negligence of the kitchen in overcooked poached eggs. Really! Four orders of different eggs Benedict hit the table and not one of them had eggs that were prepared properly. All of them grossly overdone. That is one of my biggest gripes with breakfast places, so I sent mine back. I probably should have told them to redo everyone's order or at the very least, give everyone properly poached eggs. When my eggs came back, they replaced the entire entree and a manager was present asking if it were to my satisfaction. Since our other table ordered slower than we and had a different waitress, all of their eggs were prepared as ordered. The paragraph above I mentioned a 90 minute wait. Per their website and the host that answered the phone, "they could accommodate any size of group." But we had to put our name in at their host desk, received a "buzzer" and then waited. Once the entire group were present we could sit. The initial wait was fifty minutes, (all 15 of our group present) then our buzzer went off so I approached the hostess. We were told the tables were getting cleaned but no mention of how long that would take. Ya know.. it took another almost thirty minutes of waiting. In that time I inquired as to what was taking so long and received a lot of attitude I wasn't prepared for. I, like so many other reviewers here and in that waiting area haven't any clue how these people function so inappropriately when dealing with customers that wait patiently. They don't seem to follow any code. Normal exchange means to keep the customer in the know, so that they are aware that their needs are met.. right? A customer with more information and happy exchanges, is a happier customer. When the hostess finally called us for seating, we were told that we would be given two tables next to each other but separate. That isn't showing an ability to host any size group. We could have turned the tables sideways and sat together, but they wouldn't agree to it. Had we been told at the time of reservation that this is how they planned to seat us, we would have grabbed gyros sandwiches at any of the venues we passed on the drive up here and most definitely could have been done with the meal in as little as forty minutes. Moving on, as others have mentioned, it's all about the skillets. The eggs Benny wasn't all that. Keep your hopes low and you should be impressed. This place is better than Denny's or IHOP for breakfast but not in the running with any Chicago brunch hot spots. The one menu item that could satiate the eager-chicago-brunch-goer could be the "signature Berry bliss pancakes." It's got Mascarpone, some sort of berry coulis and pancake. Each table's cost was over a hundred dollars. Composed of entrees, a shared appetizer (Berry bliss cakes) and drinks. That's pricey. For over a hundo, I figure there should be a few mimosas and bloody's ordered, but there's no booze here! We might have been happier if booze was ingested before the meal arrived. Maybe..

Fantastic Breakfast Experience My wife and I came here a few years ago for a late breakfast. At that time we weren't too impressed so we hadn't made it back. We recently decided to try them again for an early breakfast. It ended up being a good decision on our part. The Food: A solid 4 stars. I ordered a Denver skillet with a side of buttermilk pancakes and bacon. I was very impressed with what I ordered. The skillet consisted of green pepper, onion, cheese, potatoes and two eggs. It was very tasty. Since I like buttermilk pancakes I decided to order a side of them. I am glad that I did because I now know where to get some good buttermilk pancakes for next time. They also serve Intelligentsia coffee which is a good thing. The Service: A sold 4 stars. The service was fantastic. The staff was very attentive and courteous.

The menu is really good, and for a place that is only open for breakfast/brunch, they do a very nice job. Kids love it, probably because of the pancakes and waffles, but you can get those anywhere and yet Wildberry continues to be a favorite. Service is fast and excellent. Try the Belgian waffles with chocolate chip or the Espanola with extra JalapeÃ±o. This place gets a big thumbs up.

Went here on Father's Day morning. I called in advance to find out their reservation policy (they don't take them) & the manager was very helpful. We went super early and had an awesome breakfast. It is a nice place for the $ and you get a good amount of food. Our waiter was really professional and the restaurant was very clean. I regret not trying the french toast, but my breakfast panini was awesome. If you live in the area I would recommend it.

Brenda M.

Awesome food, good service. I only wish there were more decent breakfast/brunch competitors in the area because the wait is crazy long on the weekend. So, if you do go on the weekend, make sure to get there before 8:00 a.m. so you are seated right away.

Came for breakfast, parking lot was packed but we still got a table in about 10 minutes. Waitress was very efficient. Biscuits and gravy were very good. Multi grain pancakes were good too. Breakfast for two with coffee and latte plus tip 30$

Tammy S.

The place is huge and clean. It was busy but we were seated right away. Good menu. The breakfast was served hot and fresh and quickly. The bacon is thick cut and yummy. I wanted my eggs more well done because I can't stand funny scrambled eggs. They came a little too under cooked so I only ate part of them but the portion was more like 3 eggs instead of 2 so it was fine. The bacon and hash browns were cooked to my direction. The only other criticism is we asked for extra butter and it took them a while to bring it. It was good but nothing special. Everyone was very friendly though. I would only give it 4 stars.

Trinity N.

Came Saturday morning and the wait was around 30-45 minutes - great! Service is a little slow but the restaurant was extremely busy so understandable . I ordered two kids meal- the wild berry pancake and French toast . My friends got the classic Benedict and Venetian skillet - both were alright . The first time the egg Benedict came out , the egg was hard boiled and not runny at all. We told the waitress and she was super accommodating! They remade the egg Benedict and even gave us a free gift card for our next visit . The Venetian skillet was a little flavorless but with a little cholula it was better . The pancake and French toast were delicious though. One of the best pancakes I've eaten . Overall , great place and we will be returning .

This place is so popular because it serves breakfast in the top of its class for the area. I'm not put off by the crowds waiting on Sunday morning with their buzzers in hand. They will typically spill out of the large foyer and onto the benches outside of the restaurant. That's fine because they brew fresh Intelligentsia coffee to serve their waiting guests at no charge. If you want an espresso based beverage, you can pick something up in the vestibule here as well. I've never had to wait more than 30 minutes for a table, even at their busiest. Specialty omelettes and pancakes are my favorite. They offer traditional and adventurous items on their menu. Of the omelettes, I really like the fresca with sun-dried tomatoes, provolone, fresh basil & avocado; and the Napa Valley fig with scallions, apple bacon & havarti. All of these come with fresh fruit or hash browns and toast or pancakes. For $1 more you can upgrade your pancakes to their specialty pancakes like the absolutely delicious signature Berry Bliss pancakes or their healthier fig and walnut multigrain pancakes. There are even more decadent choices like Orea S'mores, cranberry pecan, tiramisu or even gluten free honeycakes. The Berry Bliss pancakes are so good: blueberries stuffed with berry mascarpone and topped with blackberries, strawberries, creme anglaise & blackberry coulis. Service is very efficient and fast. They run this place like clockwork to turn the tables but not make you feel rushed. The dining room tends to be crowded but you can sit around a fireplace on one side or have a cozier, more private booth on the other. It's no wonder this place has expanded to multiple locations. They've completely figured out how to please their customers.

First visit to this very pleasant cafe. Spotted it on our way to the VA Hospital, and the full parking lot inspired our return for a late lunch. The chicken salad was tasty, but the strawberry bread was outstanding! The Cornbeef Hash Skillet was enough for 3 or 4 people and will be enjoyed for supper as well. Our server was attentive and patient even though we arrived just before closing. If we are ever again in this area, we will definitely remember this place and return to try the pancakes (which looked scrumptious on another guest's plate!)

Chrissy L.

My husband and i came here for the first time just to see what it was all about. Right away we were blown away by the excellent service we received from Luis Diaz. It being our first visit, he was very patient with us and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. The fresh juices were delicious and the food came out hot and fast! Not once did we feel rushed at all and we were able to sit back and enjoy the atmosphere and the wonderful food. We ordered a bunch of different items so we could try a little of everything and absolutely everything that came to our table was perfectly cooked and presented in a way that just made you want to dig in! Pretty sure this is our new favorite spot! Definitely recommend this place, so worth it!

Since I graduated boot camp here in 05' and came back in 07' for school until now as an RDC in 14' I have loved coming here on the weekends for breakfast. You should try the berry bliss pancakes with their large variety of omelets. Fresh squeeze orange juice with a side order of their thick sliced applewood bacon and you leave more than stuffed. Gets busy around 9 and the wait can get long as 30 mins. And with that many people trying to eat getting here early to get your parking spot should be top of your agenda.

We came in on a Saturday for a very late breakfast. Seated very fast, and it was pretty slow by the time we came in. I got an egg skillet and my boyfriend ordered eggs benedict. I was happy with my dish, but my boyfriend's eggs benedict was a wanna-be eggs benedict. The egg wasn't really "pouched" and the piece of ham that was on top was giant, not even appetizing. Oh and the portions are huge, I highly recommend sharing a dish. The service is very fast and very friendly, but the chairs are extremely uncomfortable. They sink in as you sit, and I tried out a few chairs before realizing all of them are terrible. The booth is better, but still very stiff. This is a good option for a last minute breakfast when you don't have food at home, but I won't be dying to come here every weekend.

Stef T.

I really like the menu here.. Lots of options for breakfast and lunch. A cozy atmosphere with the fire going when it's cold outside. Good service and plenty of seating. It does get crowded on weekends and around the lunch rush during the week but they can usually seat you right away. Nice little brunch spot.
(4)
Jenny K.

One of my most favorite breakfast/brunch places! Service is always great and the food never disappoints. Their wildberry juice is A MUST and there selection is huge. It almost reminds me of Cheesecake factory because sometimes it can get overwhelming. I'm a huge benedict person, so I always end up getting a benedict, but you really can't go wrong with any of the other options. Will always recommend wildberry to anyone who loves breakfast :)

I had a vegetarian skillet with a special pancake (advert and lemon). Boyfriend had a similar dish but with chorizo. We both loved our meals! It gets very busy and we had to wait about 45 minutes on a Saturday morning, but to try it once was worth it. I want to try more of those awesome signature pancakes :-)

This place is best breakfast place around in my book. I've had a few things but I always resort back to the Southern Benedict. It is godly!! Everyone is always very courteous, the place is always clean, and the hostess' are always extremely easy on the eyes. Id give this place a 5 but we have had ordering issues in the past.

Maria B.

Tasty breakfast for people who don't mind waiting. This place is busy on weekends. The portions are large, especially if you order salads. Try their signature crepes with creamy filling. We went there three or four times, every time with a slight hangover, and still were able to enjoy the visit. One time we had our breakfast on the patio, surrounded with bees, and the staff warned us about the situation, but it wasn't that bad. We even brought few bees home with in our to-go boxes. So, as you see, nothing will stop us from eating at Wild Berry. Go try and let me know. Btw, if you are eating with bees, eat slowly with as little movement as possible. They will leave you alone eventually.

My favorite breakfast place for years. Any variation of their pancakes are absolutely amazing. I used to go to the one downtown and when i moved out to the burbs I was pumped it was here as well. My wife has never complained about any one of her meals which is nothing short of a miracle if you know what i mean!!
(5)
Ash A.

Sigh. I have such a love-dislike relationship with this place. First, the good: - The food is stellar. I've never had the lunch items because the breakfast is too amazing to pass up - their skillets are amazing and more food than anyone could eat in one sitting. - The staff is pretty friendly. I've felt like they could be more hospitable at times but then again, I like to order and get out, not have my meal be an hour long (I'm almost always with my toddler!) - The food comes out quick & hot. Next, the bad: - Almost everything is an upcharge. I generally order my skillets with the upgraded nutella crepe VS standard pancakes. I expect the surcharge, as I can read, but it amazes me how much of an upcharge it is ESPECIALLY if you want to include strawberries or another fruit. Also, their mexican skillet (amazing) doesn't come with sour cream - another upcharge. Anything with jalapenos, should come with sour cream. - Parking is a mess. I don't know what these reviews saying there's plenty of it for; it's almost always a couple circles around the building and/or stalking people. Perhaps after peak breakfast hours, both weekend and weekday, it's better but ugh. - The prices - even without upcharges on things - are pretty high for the food. This isn't organic fare nor is the syrup you get real maple syrup so I don't know why they charge what they do... clearly it works for them because it's always packed. Overall, I was stoked to stumble upon this place when I moved here but I won't miss the budget-busting it does when I want a crepe now that I am moving again.

My parents stopped in for breakfast on a whim the day after Christmas, and I'm so very glad that we made a last minute decision to do so! This place has become my favorite breakfast place of all time. Pros: - The service was *EXCELLENT*!! I don't think we have ever had such a pleasant dining experience. Absolutely every employee we interacted with was polite, friendly, cheerful, and attentive. Our server probably came to check on us at least ten times during our stay. (Ask for Christine!! She is awesome!!) - The food was likewise excellent and arrived very quickly! We arrived before the breakfast rush, so that seemed to help things. But we were shocked by how quickly our food came and equally impressed by how good it was! - If you have food allergies, this is a great place to go! They have THE BEST gluten free pancakes I've ever had. I hardly could tell that they were gluten free. And that's saying something. Very yummy! - They serve Intelligentsia coffee. Need I say more? - The orange juice was obviously freshly squeezed. You could tell it wasn't from a bottle! Cons: - I honestly can't think of any. Overall, we were highly impressed with this location and can't wait to go back!

If the lobby is full of people and they still quote you a 20-25 minute wait time, TRUST. I don't know how they do it, but wait it out. It'll be worth it. I've waited 2 hours for food less enticing and abundant. The place is big and looks like a mansion from the outside, and even on a Friday morning, it was packed! For good reason :) First off, keep in mind that the portions here are HUGE. Don't let those pictures fool you because you definitely get your money's worth. You will leave full. I had the 2 egg whites ($1 extra), with turkey bacon (came with 3 pieces), hash browns, and a side of berry bliss pancakes ($1 extra over the regular pancakes). Those upgrades--all worth it. The eggs were plenty, the turkey bacon was actually crispy and flavorful, and likewise with the hash browns, they were actually well-seasoned and crunchy. Perfect. The berry bliss pancake was also sweet but not too sweet and the fruits were all fresh and none were sour. Ugh. So worth the extra buck. If you like peppermint mochas from Starbucks, order the mint mocha and you will not be disappointed. This thing was delicious. Tip: if you order a coffee from the barista out front, you can opt for a smaller size and get it in a to-go cup so you can run off with it after your meal is over. Otherwise, you'll get a mug during sit-down. I tried the boyfriend's white chocolate caramel mocha and if you've got a major sweet tooth, you'll love it. If not, be forewarned.. that thing is rich! Boyfriend had the Los Altos benedict, which was incredibly full-flavored. Not your typical eggs benedict, but he loved it regardless. You can really taste the mexican seasonings in the chorizo. Yum. Others at our table had the berry bliss waffle, which (surprise!) was also massive and delicious. Corned beef hash also received praise at the table, so you probably can't go wrong with that either. Service was so incredibly friendly, which was greatly appreciated after a long night of flying and little-to-no sleep. Such a solid breakfast place!

Let's be honest here. This area of Illinois isn't all that exciting. Grabbing the menu at Wildberry to see what amazing delicacies await could be the most exhilirating experience you'll get. Everything they serve is absolutely wonderful, and they give out huge portions as well, so you'll be able to continue drooling at home. However. This place does become absolutely packed on the weekends if you get there around brunch time. I recommend coming as early as possible to get a seat without having to wait for at least half an hour. Definitely can't go wrong at Wildberry.

Mika M.

If you like sweet breakfasts wild berry is the place for you. This restaurant provides plenty of options that anyone would enjoy, including gluten free items! Their eggs are delicious and their pancakes, although not too fluffy, still pack plenty of flavor, especially if you get their specialty pancakes such as Oreo s'more, tiramisu, and wildberry bliss. The corn beef hash is amazing, possibly one of the best I've ever tasted! I would highly recommend getting that you will not be disappointed. The staff is friendly and inviting but be prepared for a wait. Also while waiting they have a little cafe where you can order coffee, smoothies etc. If you like small portions is suggest sharing because they are LARGE portions and you get filled up quite fast. All in all this is a great find, and the best breakfast eatery in libertyville. It is great for big parties and is quite spacious. Definitely would suggest it for a delicious family and friend brunch!

Syd J.

Honestly, we ate here like 3 weeks ago and I can't get this place out of my mind. The best breakfast dining experience I have had. I had the goat cheese bacon omelet! Mm mmm mm! The building is beautiful. I definitely recommend this place, but it is always so busy... Only downfall. But it is so great who wouldn't want to go eat breakfast here.
(5)
Steve S.

The food is great here and the service is terrific. However I cannot justify spending $13.00 for an omelette. They have raised their prices which makes the other breakfast places in the area more attractive for me and my family. There are many other restaurants in this area that can make great pancakes and eggs for a lot less. Sorry Wildberry's.....I miss your wonderful food.

Decent pancake house. I was hoping for more. It felt a bit dirty (simply not clean). Service isn't bad but not great. The truth is its 'eh'. Good place, but for what you get, a bit pricey. I'd prefer Walker Bros if I have the time to travel. They are cleaner and better value.

Been trying to make it over for months. Finally get here and i was far from dissappointed. The menu was large but organized and the staff was quick once we placed our drink order. The specialty pancakes and the special french toast can't be recommended enough! Overall yummy! I plan on bringing others next time.

Evie H.

Absolutely insanely delicious. I had heard great things about brunch here so when my friends came out from California for a visit, I had to bring them here. We arrived around 11am on a Friday and there was no wait. Looking at the menu, we had the hardest time deciding what to order but in the end we got the Colorado omelet with mozzarella cheese, the Florence Benedict, French toast with strawberries and glaze, and the signature Berry Bliss Pancakes (see picture). Everything was SO delicious. No joke. The three of us shared everything and managed to wolf down the entire table. Now I understand why Wildberry was voted the best pancakes in Chicago. They were so fluffy and soft and airy. I couldn't stop eating it! The french toast was so amazing as well. I loved how the strawberry glaze actually tasted like strawberry unlike other places where it tastes more sugary instead. Our omelet and eggs benedict were delicious too. The combination of spinach, bacon, and hollandaise? SO GOOD. Awesome hash browns too - not oily at all and perfectly crispy on top. The restaurant was cozy and we loved the pictures of fresh fruits posted on the walls. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate about coming back. In fact, I foresee myself back again soon :)

Food is GREAT and the service is GREAT! They make you feel welcomed when you stop by for breakfast, brunch or lunch. On the weekends around 11:30am, the wait time is about 40 some mins if you are lucky... but the food makes the wait worthwhile :) Def recommend the belgium waffles with strawberries!! And sweet potato fries!

WOW. Just wow. Best omelette EVER. I had the Espanola, and the chorizo flavor and the fresh veggies really made it delicious. The pancakes are amazing too. As was the crunchy banana berry french toast. The coffee was excellent. The choices were almost overwhelming. Overwhelmingly amazing!! The service was excellent as well... Never an empty coffee cup. So much food, so many flavors, and I am so glad to have tried this place out. I hope to be in the neighborhood again, because it could easily be my favorite breakfast place ever!

Steph U.

I feel like I'm never super impressed by this place. The food is just alright, and the prices are more than I'd like to pay for what it is. I recently came here on Easter and throughout the meal I kept thinking "damn I should have just gone to McDonalds." I got the Venetian skillet with a side (one slice) of the banana bread french toast. The banana bread french toast is the ONLY reason I'm giving this place two stars instead of one. It's absolutely delicious, but an actual entree (3 slices) is ridiculously overpriced at about $10, whereas a replacement side (one slice) is less than $2 (I think around $1.50). My skillet was below average and pretty much ALL hash browns. The portions are average. Our server said that they have "large" portions, and it was more than I could finish in one sitting, but that's not saying much, since I can barely finish any of my meals in one sitting. It actually wasn't that much food when it came out, but it was A LOT of hash browns, making it filling. Overall, I've never been blown away by this place, and I don't get why so many people are here all the time.

Jim P.

The pancakes are great here. Very light and fluffy. I highly recommend them. On the other hand the sizzlin skillet was flavorless, but there's nothing a bit of Cholula and salt can't fix. Also it's clear their eggs Benedict is not one of their specialities. The first time it came out the poached egg was over cooked. However the waitress was very kind and quick when it came to redressing this issue. Although the eggs came out correct the second time, the English muffin unfortunately was hard and stale. 5 stars for service. 5 stars for their pancakes. 2 stars for everything else

Michelle K.

The place was hopping on a Friday morning but my friend and I were seated right away. I would avoid this place during the peak weekend brunch time as I don't find it particularly worth a 30-40 minute wait. I suggest trying The Liberty off Rte 21 in Libertyville instead. But anyway, back to this review... Sarah S was our server and she did a wonderful job. She was very congenial and attentive. I ordered the Fresca omelette and my friend ordered a skillet. The food came in no time. My omelette was enormous and packed with avocado, cheese and sundried tomatoes--no skimping here. It came with hash browns (perfectly crispy) and two pancakes on the side. Their pancakes really are delicious, nothing mindblowing, but they hit the spot. They pair well with the Intelligentsia coffee they serve. Overall it was a pleasant experience. We were seated by the fireplace in the middle of the dining room--best seat in the house IMO! Very cozy and a nice touch of warmth on a cold January morning.

We have been to Wildberry many times over the years and can't think of one bad experience. The food quality is excellent. Make no mistake--pretty much the entire breakfast menu consists of staples you can get at any number of restaurants. You won't find many exotic ingredients or truly original dishes. But what Wildberry does, they do very well...and usually very efficiently. The pancakes rank as some of the best we've had anywhere. While they don't use jumbo eggs any more for the omelets, what you get is still more than enough. The lunch menu is also good although most people come here for breakfast. Service has always been prompt and courteous. While prices have been creeping up, they are still what we'd consider reasonable. Our only negatives concern the location. Wildberry sits on the corner of a very busy intersection. It is difficult if not impossible at times to turn left into the restaurant's parking lot. The lot is sizable but narrow. It is especially tight in the back if you drive a big truck or SUV. As many reviewers have indicated, Wildberry gets VERY busy on weekends. There is an overflow lot of sorts on the south end of the property but a good rule of thumb is, if you can't find a parking space in the lot surrounding the building, forget it and go somewhere else...or be prepared to wait. The crowds are significantly lighter on weekdays or before 8:30 on weekends.

Gabriel M.

4 stars is about right. It really is a good breakfast spot, but when you have to pay extra to get real maple syrup for your pancakes... that sir is the sort of thing that costs you a star as it did here. When you're this good, using the best ingredients, don't get lazy or cheap on us by holding out or charging more for the syrup. That should be complimentary. That being said the scrambles are good and I'll be back for them, but I refuse to eat pancakes, waffles, or french toast without real maple syrup and I won't pay more for that pleasure.

Stacy O.

I adore Wildberry Cafe and their breakfast. Their pancakes are the showstopper -- light, fluffy, with a hint of vanilla. I will always be a fan because I can't replicate that recipe at home, despite my best efforts. But everything I've had has been delicious -- the omelets and skillets are filled with fresh ingredients, the seasonal menu boasts interesting specials, and Service is consistently good. The host team works through a wait list every weekend morning quickly and with patience. There's coffee available in the lobby while you wait for a table (nice touch!). Prices are totally reasonable. This is a special weekend treat for us, but one we look forward to as I consistently fail at reaching their level on Sunday mornings. :)

Not half bad, we got seated very fast and the staff are very nice! It took a very long time for our food to come but when it did it was most likely the best food in Illinois! I highly recommend this place if you have some time to wait!

Karan P.

I love this place. I love their food. Probably the best breakfast place. Start with their freshly squeezed orange juice, it's the best orange juice I've tasted, hands down. They've amazing egg Benedict's and awesome skillets. My personal favorite is the Mexicana skillet with pancakes. Substitute for their berry bliss pancakes and you'll taste the most delicious pancakes. I must have been there at least twenty times and they are so consistently delicious! There'd be a looong wait if you get there after 10 am, so try to get there early and they don't take reservations. During summer, they open seating in patio which makes it so good of a morning, whenever you plan on eating there. They have one restaurant in downtown as well, on Randolph right across the millennium park. It's fantastic food, fantastic place!!

When I heard this was a pancake restaurant, I was a little bit concerned. That is because I am on a diabetic diet. And was concerned that I would have too many carbs coming into the system. I was delightfully surprised by the waitstaff and their friendliness, as well as the opportunities to eat a high fat-low carb diet. I had chorizo and scrambled eggs and two sausage patties. The coffee was good, and the only lacking thing was that there was no heavy whipping cream to make my bulletproof coffee. Other than that, it was in in the park homerun.

Valerie V.

This is my favorite breakfast place in libertyville! The best chocolate chip waffles, great crepes with real strawberries! Fresh squeezed orange juice is so delicious! Also make great coffee drinks! Just make sure you keep in mind what time you go there because they do get pretty crowded, but don't worry you can always have a coffee or drink while you wait!

This was a delicious experience! We drive an hour to get to Wildberry and it was worth it! I had the Mexicana skillet with no jalapeÃ±os and the banana cream pie specialty pancakes. The portions are large and the skillet was so yummy! Their hashbrown potatoes are freshly browned and crispy on the outside. The pancakes were to die for! My mom had the fresca omelet and said it was cooked perfectly and that the veggies were so fresh! My cousin had the Rutherford omelet with spinach and goat cheese - I tried it and it was heaven for a goat cheese lover - they don't skimp on the goat cheese! I also tried an iced chai tea latte, which was very good. I'm definitely coming back to Wildberry - a definite must do if you're anywhere near it. The prices were great, too! The skillet was around $9 and then $1 for specialty pancakes instead of plain - cheap for the huge delicious meal you get!

This restaurant inexplicably has long lines. You are given a pager to keep your place in the order you came in. Unless, of course, you are one of the many friends of the owner, hostess, or seater. Then you get a table right away. This, of course, ruins the dining experience for the person not lucky enough to have socialized with twenty year old restaurant workers. The moral is: decent, not great food and service. Stay away if you see any kind of a crowd.

Wildberry just isn't for us. Tried a couple times thinking we had a bad experience or came on a bad day. No. It's just consistently bad. Service is hit or miss. For me it seems to be more of a miss. LOL Every time we're there, we get a waitress that ignores us. The one time I complained management made excuse after excuse for the waitress even though they weren't busy. (And she was sitting and talking with management and other wait staff) Food is okay. It's the standard breakfast fare you can find just about anywhere in this area. I feel like this place is an over hyped IHOP. The pancakes arent anything spectacular, their eggs Benedict wasn't so great. I've tried the traditional and spinach. The spinach was not fresh and wasn't appetizing. Not a place that I care for.

Although hard to get into for breakfast on the weekends, due to how packed they are, this place is great. Pancakes, eggs, sausages, omelets are wonderful. Even their wildberry orange juice is good.

The one word that come to mind is, why. We have passed this location for several years and the lot is always full, so we thought it must be something special. My wife and I finally had a chance to try it out. PROS: The staff was friendly. The restaurant was clean. The server was cheerful and energetic. CONS: Higher then what you would expect prices for breakfast. Ordered a Coke and it came out in a hot glass and was flat. Waiter placed my skillet in front of me then grabbed it back because he brought the wrong one. Brought the wrong check. Once we got our check it was wrong. Summary: Between the food prices being high, the food quality being just OK and the poor service. We just asked ourselves, why did we bother?

I've been to this restaurant many times and everytime the food is amazing. It's a pretty hit or miss when it comes to the service but the food is hands down one of the best in lake county. I've tried everything from pancakes, omelettes, french toast, and crepes. The portions are excellent for the prices and the food always taste fresh. I think the only negative of this restaurant is the length of time they're open.

This Place is SOOOOO good. It is my go to place for brunch every weekend. I love how much food they give you for such a low price. Ordering one omelette or scramble will give you side order of pancakes as well. And OMG their pancakes are awesome. So many delicious flavors. The only reason I keep going back is so I can try all of them!
(5)
John N.

Meh. I found it overpriced and nothing special. It's the kind of place where you think you'll get something different, but when your food comes it's just the same eggs, the same hash browns, the same toast, the same benedict, biscuits, skillet, and pancake you can get anywhere else at any of the many small diners in the area. Plus, it's stupid busy on weekend mornings. I'm not sure what drives people to wait for 45 minutes for a ho-hum same ol' breakfast, but if that's your game, then this is the place for you.

Such a cute place with sophisticated flavors. I wasn't a fan of the iced coffee (it lacked complexity and strength), but it was bottomless, so that helps. I went here after a lovely bike ride in Independence Grove. Despite the fact that it was lunch time on a Sunday, we were seated promptly and the service was fantastic. Pro tip - all dishes come with pancakes. And those pancakes can be any of the premium pancakes, including the special. Carrying on, I got the summer scramble, which was eggs with black mission figs, sundried tomatoes and caramelized onions. I would have never thought that fruit in scrambled eggs would be so good. However, the real standout of this meal was the chocolate chip pancakes. I had a side of fluffy buttermilk pancakes with golden hue topped with chocolate chips, chocolate sauce and whipped cream. They melted in my mouth into a chocolate bliss. It was the perfect reward after a long ride.

When I first walked in here I was not impressed. The decor is of the run of the mill strip mall variety, and certainly less trendy than many of the hipster brunch places that I've been to. But there's something about the food and wait staff that makes me return to this place over and over again. It's consistently good, not in a stuck up way, but in a comforting this-really-hits-the-spot way. I always get the skillets and I am never disappointed. House made orange juice is worth the splurge too. Can't go wrong here!

Wildberry is about as good as it gets for breakfast in the metro area. The restaurants always have nice appointments, large dining areas, and while there are long waits at busy times, the staff does a nice job managing the line. The food is outstanding, at least what we've had (brioche french toast, chicken salad sandwich are both favorites. Along with Egg Harbor, Wildberry is at the top of the brunch food chain in Chicago suburbs.

Great place for brunch. They do have long wait times depending when you get there. They are always busy. Definitely try their speciality coffee drinks and the Nutella crepe. Yum!

This was just poor, my server rarely came around to fill up my coffee. The service was poor, but secondly the food i had ordered was pitiful. I got the santa fe benedict and the chipotle hollandaise was repulsive. If you are in the area and looking for good food, check out Walker Brothers because this is not the place.

This is my favorite breakfast place. My family and I have been to this location for more than 7 times. If we live closer, we would probably be there 2-3 time a week. The building itself looks like a million dollar mansion but the menu prices are mostly under $10. There are 3 simple rules to follow when it comes to a breakfast restaurant. #1 Good coffee, #2 Good food and #3 Good service. This place got them all! Want to try the Specialty Pancakes but not the whole portion? This is how you do it. Order a dish that already comes with pancakes (skillets, omelets) on the side and upgrade it to any Specialty Pancakes for only $1.00 more. It will be a 2 pc pancake portion not the full size. Ask others with you to upgrade their pancakes so the whole table will have many Specialty Pancakes to sample. So far, the Signature Berry Bliss and the new Banana Cream Pie pancakes are the best! They do not take reservations on weekends. Expect a wait time of 30 min-45 mins. Go during the week if you can.

Great breakfast and great service. Such a wide variety of menu items! I've never had a bad meal. Good luck trying to get a table during the weekend mornings. The place is PACKED! (But I guess that's a good problem to have )

It is a long wait for Sunday brunch; make sure you bring entertaining company and take advantage of the coffee bar inside the foyer. Service from Sarah was excellent. I had a question about the flavored lemonades and was advised the flavored syrups are used. I'm sure I made a face. Sarah suggested the black current iced tea, which is brewed with currents and unsweetened. It suited me perfectly as it has a complex subtle flavor without being overly sweet or bitter. I recommend the corned beef hash skillet. It is the right combination of crispy potato, tangy cheddar and a balanced amount of corned beef. I asked for the eggs over medium - runny yolk with complete cooked whites. I'm giving four stars because the whites of the eggs were not completely cooked. The buttermilk pancakes have the perfect amount of leavening. Many recipes over leaven which makes a dense pancake that sits in my stomach like a ball of wet clay. These are light and airy, without being overly sweet. My husband had the wild mushroom omelet, which is on the seasonal specials menu. It included tangy cheese with oyster and cremini mushrooms inside the omelet with bits of prosciutto and prosciutto on top as garnish. He enjoyed a side of fresh fruit which was of a generous size and had a nice blend of cut fruit. For a slight up-charge he had a berry bliss crepe instead of toast. He is very fond of crepes and gleefully recommends everyone try one of the berry bliss crepes here as it is one of their signature creations and deservedly so.

I adore this place!! I crave Wildberry every morning. Best breakfast stop in the area. My fiancee and I go 2 twice a week. Foods amazing, staff is friendly, atmosphere is nice. Been coming here for years, I think the hype of this restaurant shows as it can get packed fairly quickly even on the weekdays. My recommendation is to get a side order of the clasicc buttermilk panackaes and taste what perfection taste like. Their known for their pancakes, so it will be ashame not to experience them.

I'm so psyched Wildberry has joined the downtown Chicago scene because Wildberry does everything well! I've been going to this Libertyville location for years. Packed as heck ALL the time, it should be evidence enough that it's got more than a few followers :)! The freshest fruit dress up their berry french toast! Sauce is just sweet enough and super light. Their corn beef hash skillet served with eggs any style and side of just about anything... is just right.The bed of potatoes that the skillets are served with are never saugy or too hard. Guaranteed to also like its crepes - not just the fruity kind but the savory ones. Applewood smoked bacon here is never burnt or underdone. Pancakes of all kinds are pretty popular here because they aren't just regular pancakes with stuff plopped on top of them. Right amount of stuff and "cake". Service is always 5 stars. Fresh squeezed juice is not the box kind. Yes, this place is busy but you'll never get the evil eye if you like to to actually enjoy your food and company. On to the Chicago location at Randolph!

The only negative thing about Wildberry is that it is only open for breakfast. Everything I have had here is amazing and I really recommend trying the Red Velvet french toast. It is simply mouth watering!

Yo. This is THE breakfast situation in the 'burbs. No lie. Bring your winter jeans, fools, because you're going to need em. The food is so delicious and the portion size is mammoth. Dieting while dining at Wildberry? No go, baby. No go. I stopped in for breakfast with my dad per his request. I definitely inherited my love of food from my old man, so I trust him when it comes to restaurant decisions in Libertyville. And true to form, he didn't steer us wrong. The wait can be a bit on the obnoxious side during peak weekend breakfast hours, but we arrived at 9:30am and only waited for about 10 minutes for a 2-top. The menu honestly doesn't throw anything super crazy at you. I didn't see anything I haven't seen before, so expect the classics like lots of pancakes, eggs, waffles, skillets and such. I'm usually an egg gal, so I decided to go with an omelet with mozzarella, tomato and onion. I like that you get hashbrowns and instead of toast, you can get pancakes. And even better yet is you can upgrade those pancakes for $1 to one of their specialty pancake options. Cranberry/walnut pancakes? You betcha! And honestly, everything tasted excellent. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the pancakes were light and fluffy. My dad especially loved his corned beef hash skillet, saying it's probably one of his favorite breakfasts ever. Should you find yourself wandering around the greater Libertyville area, don't hesitate to stop in. Wildberry is fantastic. Side note: My dad was certain he saw one of the Bears with his family during our visit. However, when questioned, he couldn't indicate which Bear it was, so I'm not buying it. But, you know, possible celebrity sightings!

This location is nice compared to the ones in the city since there isn't as long of a wait. A table for 5 took about 10-15 minutes. I ordered the Mexicana this time. It came with jalpenos, avocados, chorizo, and two eggs on top. I asked for them over medium and it came that way (yay!). The Mexicana was really good. The spices were tickling my taste buds and you can totally taste the "Mexico" in it. I would recommend this if you are not in the mood for a breakfast item. We got the pancakes on the side, and upgraded to the WB Berry Bliss. Their signature pancake style. Amazing as always! The service could have been better. I'm not sure if the waitress was new, but she seemed reluctant with our table. Nonetheless, Wildberry is great! Plenty of parking available!

Every time come here I am so impressed by the friendliness of the staff from host to waiter right down to the bus boy, who despite having several tables took a moment to chat about weather. I rarely give five stars to any business because it perfection is sometimes unattainable. Now the food. I have several breakfasts here since moving into the area. And can count on the skillets to be go to order, I am wanting to indulge in the other menu items like the Cinnamon brioche French toast just sounds delicious. Maybe for treat meal. They serve Intelligentsia Coffee and you can't go wrong with that. The price is average to above average Skillet and coffee will run $12-$14 plus tip. They are only open for breakfast and lunch but well worth getting up early for meals. It does get busy during the weekend so expect a wait. But it's well worth it. I stood outside for an hour to eat at Franks Diner in Kenosha. I would wait an hour for here. You can get a cup a coffee from the barista in the large lobby area. Enjoy!!!!

We had breakfast here while visiting our daughter at Great Lakes. The staff was friendly and attentive. They are busy on the weekends, so expect a 30 - 45 minutes wait. The food was worth the wait. The food was delicious. I will definitely go there when I return to the area. I would highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys breakfast foods.

Vincenzo C.

Be careful what time you go on Saturday/Sunday. After 9:00 am, you can count on a 30-60 minute wait (mostly 45 minutes). I have been there many times (not so much recently). Having said that, I would agree with some of the other writers. The decor is very nice and the menu appears to be upper end type ingredients. The food is good but I think Wildberry's reputation for fantastic food is a bit of a smoke screen. Nothing great, very good at best. Service can be slow - hit and (more) miss. Pricy for breakfast/lunch. Nothing to get excited about but not disappointing.

One of the best brunch places ever. I could come here literally everyday. Nothing I had has ever been less than mouthwatering delicious. I would recommend this to anyone who's even remotely close to Chicago. A MUST. I want to bring this to New York..... On top of that, the waiters have only ever been sweet. Everyone was great so sometimes I tipped extra. They deserve it. Every experience has been awesome

Jacqueline N.

I LOVE WILDBERRY!!! I know the wait is very long here but I came late and skipped the wait as I joined my party for brunch :X But honestly I would wait here for the food any day! Everything looked absolutely delicious here. My friends got eggs, bacon and hashbrown with chocolate chip pancakes. Another got the Espanola omelette, I was able to try this and I did not really like it very much. It was very dry and the flavors did not sit well with me. Another friend got the prime rib eggs benedict with chipotle sauce. This was not the best, but our waiter was insistent on her trying it, so after she did, she politely expressed her dislike for the seasonal dish. He promptly apologized and get her the Florence Eggs Benedict that she wanted in the first place. Our server was so attentive and very prompt with everything For my dish, I got the Denver Skillet, which had Ham, Bell Peppers, & Onions. With two eggs sunny side up, this was the PERFECT combination for me. The hashbrowns were at the bottom with cheese and ham, peppers and onions. I also got a side of the Signature "Berry Bliss" Pancakes. I have to say these were the BEST pancakes I have ever had!! they were pancakes stuffed with blueberries & wildberry Mascarpone then topped with blackberries, strawberries and fruity vanilla cream sauce. It was divine. truly blissful. I could only finish half of everything (actually I finished all of my pancakes because they were just TOO GOOD). And it was so affordable and reasonable priced. i only paid about $12 for all of that and had a meal leftover for tomorrow to relive how good the food was too! Can't wait until my next brunch outing here!! :]

this the best place to eat in libertyville for breakfast. hands down. i get why there's a line - everywhere else sucks, no offense. yeah there's a huge line out the doh, because it's just that decent. luckily our wait was only 5 min. we sat outside and got some shine on our faces. i ordered the garden veg benny, which was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOD. the portabella mushroom acted like the english muff, and the chipotle hollandaise was fantastic. the veggies were fresh, well-seasoned and well-cooked. wheat toast on the side. fantastic. my friend who has celiac disease had a LOT to choose from, and many of the sections of the menu were gluten-free. i like that. she put all of that omelete and the honey cakes in her mouth, free of gluten and full of happiness. only thing, i didn't enjoy the iced decaf coffee i ordered while we were waiting. it was real watery. we'll all be back to eat things again i'm sure.

We don't come here often, but did today and tried the Los Altos Eggs Benedict. Although the muffin was dry and tough, the dish overall was delicious. When I mentioned the problem to our server, the manager showed up at our table with an apology and offering to provide another dish or anything to make it right. I declined the offer but told her that her concern for our satisfaction was much appreciated. With service and attention from management like that, I'll certainly be back!

Wildberry is such a great restaurant for breakfast. I have been searching for a place that offers a variety of options and finally found it without traveling to the city! There is a variety of omlets, pancakes, etc..! The fig, bacon, cheese omelet was amazing!! The portions are large, the service is quick and great!! I can't wait to bring my family back here again!!

Casandra F.

This place was AMAZING. My husband and I had always wanted to try this place because we had heard so many great things about it, but it completely exceeded our expectations! We ordered our food, got it in minutes, our water cups were never empty, and the food was AMAZING. I ordered the Fresca omelette which came with a side of hash browns, and I upgraded to the specialty "berry bliss" pancakes for $1.00 extra, and they were fantastic! My husband got the two egg meal, with a side of "berry bliss" pancakes, and an extra side of biscuits and gravy. The environment was so clean, the meals were priced well, and our service was great! Overall, our experience was flawless, and we will definitely be returning.

Jessica J.

I have a lot of great things to say about this place. From the amazing coffee bar (YUM - TURTLE MOCHA!) to the scrumptious specialty pancakes (you can substitute them instead of the regular that come with your omelettes!), Wildberry has earned a high return status from our family. The staff are so accommodating - the restaurant even offers gluten free pancakes. Honestly you can find something for anyone here. The wait staff are always super busy but mostly attentive and pleasant. The potatoes are the reason for 4 stars as they have been inconsistent and never quite right every time I've gone. But the other food is to die for and keeps us coming back for more! Sadly, everyone and their brother has figured this as the place to go now, so the wait time has gotten to be astronomical. They also do NOT offer call ahead seating on the weekend - this caused us to pass them up this morning after our out of town visitors were so excited to try it.

I barely even want to give this restaurant one star. What a horrible experience. Being in the restaurant industry, I completely understand that Mothers Day is the busiest day of the year. Unfortunately, our food took over an hour to get to our table. When asking the server why the five tables that sat after us had received their food first the reply I got was "I put your food in first." Not even an apology. After waiting an hour, of course our food arrived and it was ice cold. When asked to speak to the manager he took our plates back to fix the error, while still waiting for the sides of pancakes. The manager brought out the food and the omelet my brother had was just reheated and not remade, and also now just burnt on the bottom. The pancakes came out about ten minutes later. I used to love this restaurant. What happened?
(1)
Jennifer C.

I always get the skillets here. They're so damn good. Mexicana is my favorite Loaded with stuff. It's impossible to finish the food in one sitting, and the idea of reheating eggs is kind of gross, so the leftovers go wasted :( I wish my stomach could fit more. ALWAYS get the wildberry orange juice! I don't know what the hell is in it, but it's different in an awesome way. Overall, food is great, prices are right, service is OK, wait time sucks (esp during weekend). It's worth it. I also wish they stayed open later...

Hanna L.

Wildberry Cafe is the place to be for breakfast/brunch! The portions are very generous and beverages are on point. Splitting a meal? No problem! They will split anything from a skillet to a salad (usually I split a salad and a skillet/omelet with my mom). My favorite is the corned beef hash skillet, eggs over medium, and I will usually get the toast lightly toasted so I can enjoy the homemade jam. Their benny is delicious too! Basically, everything about this place is fabulous except for the long wait during peak hours (which is usually worth it).

Ashley S.

Oh Wildberry...... I have to start by saying that Mike and I must have a sense for getting to this place just in the nick of time. We've gone a couple times recently(we got a gift card for xmas), and each time we get up to leave the line is out the door. We've always been seated immediately, so a round of applause to us I guess. The service was great! Very quick and the staff is always really friendly! The food here is soooooooo nummy!! At our most recent visit we decided since it was a new year that we were going to eat healthy.....man I wish I had gotten some flapjacks and bacon....just kidding. The egg white Denver omelet was amazing. The fruit plate was huge and the fruit was juicy and fresh. The coffee here is so so so so so good!!! It's my favorite coffee EVER! Just be sure you get there before the rush, because we all know how good breakfast food smells, and waiting is the last thing anyone wants....sitting, smelling, starving...NO GOOD!

Tara R.

My sister insisted we come eat here as soon as I came in from out of town. We were seated right away. I was delighted with the many options to choose from. I had to try the fresh OJ with the berry blend, it was tart and sweet. I also tried the white mocha coffee with whipped. If only I could get one everyday! Such a great cup of coffee. For my meal I had the French toast with the berry bliss. It was perfect. Sweet fresh berries with a berry cream in between.

En route for a shopping extravaganza, we decided to stop in for lunch on a weekday. At first, we were hesitant about the large group hanging out in the lobby. We made it in with no wait. Our server was super friendly and just her personality added to the homey-family atmosphere. My friend ordered the Espanola Omelette and I got the turkey burger. We chatted while caffeinating. My friend clutched onto her jumbo hazelnut latte like it was the last cup in the house. Our food arrived in no time and I was going bug-eyed over the portion sizes- in particular my friend's omelette. Needless to say, she couldn't finish. My burger was A-OK, a little on the bland side and needed a few splashes of hot sauce. For the area, I consider this a decent choice to brunch it up-- if not a staple for locals. Their increasing popularity and following has led Wildberry to open its doors to cityslickers and tourists alike at Millenium. Will I be amongst them once that happens? Perhaps.

David F.

Quite good, but a bit pricey. It has a very generic and franchises look and feel which does not do justice to its clever food. Intelligentsia coffee is clearly a winner. I went in fully caffeinated and still had three cups. The omelette (veggie) was abundant in size and delicious. The absolutely got the hash browns down perfectly. I was stunned at the size of the pancake platters ordered by my family. Their own signature jam is a must try.

On our last morning visiting with family- we all went to this place. Best breakfast we have had in quite some time. Don't even compare it to Ihop. Our service was outstanding and food was even better. I had the Rutherford omlet (has spinach and goat cheese along with a bunch of other awesome stuff), it was amazing. My 2 year old loves strawberries and they brought us out just a small plate of strawberries for him. We will be back next time we visit.

Julie S.

I've visited the Schaumburg location several times and had nothing but good experiences but today I went to the Libertyville location and the cheese on my eggs and my son's eggs were moldy. I alerted the server and he had a manager come over to talk to me. They re-cooked our food with cheese from a new bag, which was fine, but he didn't comp any of our meal. I was irritated by this, but he gave us a gift card for our "next visit". I couldn't understand why we couldn't use the card for this visit, but I was told the card wouldn't be activated for an hour... When it was activated, I realized why they didn't want me to activate it there... it was only for $10....!!! In my opinion, moldy cheese served to me is bad enough, but moldy cheese served to my 2 year old is worth a hell of a lot more than $10... Had they taken our meals off the check, the $10 would have been a nice consolation, but for that to be it, I'm disappointed in that level of customer service. Sad, but I likely won't be returning there... Shame on that manager.

Excellent gluten free menu! The wait staff is very accommodating to my "special needs", going as far as offering a side of fruit at no extra charge instead of toast or hash browns (normally it costs extra). Best gluten free pancakes I've ever had. I love their skillets without hash browns (see note below). Only once have I had an issue with my order and the manager made sure everything worked out in the end. WARNING! As someone with a gluten intolerance, I must warn others that their hash browns made me sick every time I eat them.

This is an all around excellent breakfast / brunch restaurant. If you're looking for something more upscale than a diner or chain restaurant yet casual, this is the place. If you're a hipster, be prepared to shed your elitist attitude for 1 hour and actually enjoy good food while looking beyond the suburbanites and middle aged decor. Come on, you can do it. Go, hipster, go! And for everyone (including hipsters), be prepared to wait 10-30 minutes for a table as they are always busy. Fortunately, they have a full coffee bar in the entry (and the coffee is definitely decent) which makes up for the wait. This is a great place for families, large groups or a morning date with your sweetie. I highly recommend the cinnamon apple french toast. Extremely sweet, but a-maze-ing. The staff has always been very pleasant and accommodating. The only comment I have is that the hostesses should follow more of a dress code (all black, aprons over outfits, or something like that). Normally most of them are dressed fine, but the last few times we visited a few had rather tight, skimpy outfits on that looked a little too trashy for this place (accentuating fat rolls and/or cellulite in the buns). Overall, it's definitely worth a trip, especially if you can go home and tell your friends that your hostesses boobs flop out on your pancake platter (which I have not yet heard of happening, but might if the dress code isn't implemented immediately).

We are breakfast/brunch people. We will do breakfast or brunch before we will go out for dinner. So to find a place with an inviting environment, great food and an original menu is a real treasure! Duck confit hash? Now there's something you don't see on other breakfast place menus. A Fresca Omelette with sun-dried tomatoes and avocado? Ditto! How about a fig omelette? I'm not even going to talk about their signature dish - the berry bliss pancakes except to say YUM! With Intelligentsia coffee to top it all off. All at about what you pay for a decent brunch anywhere. One word: *W*O*W*

I received a Private Message, through a Yelp User account, from an individual who identified himself as Evan _____ (I withhold his last name), the General Manager of Wildberry, in which he expressed his regret for our experience and offered his assurance that the issues we noted were isolated incidences. He offered to mail a gift certificate, so we may try Wildberry again. I thanked Evan for his concern and generous offer, which I believe further affirmed what I initially noted about Wildberry Cafe's high service standard. I declined Evan's generously offered gift certificate to avoid even the vaguest suggestion of a conflict of interest. I also assured Evan that I would append my Review of Wildberry Cafe to acknowledge and document his concern and offer. (Fact is, I probably will try Wildberry Cafe again anyway, since I believe in second chances. Until then, however, my issuance of two stars will stand, since one of the two stars was issued for Wildberry Cafe's excellent customer service. However, I do look forward to an opportunity to dine there again, and to hopefully have an experience that would merit issuance of more stars.)

Busy. There was a 40 min wait. So we waited to see how good it is. And, it was good. A good solid breakfast joint. If we went back, I wouldn't wait again. A place like this would have to be "the best I ever ate" to wait that long for breakfast food. But, on an average day where we could just get a table, it's solid food at reasonable prices. I didn't realize it was a chain. I thought it was independently owned, so I was expecting the food to be better. But, hey, those places are far and few between.

I've been here twice since my last review. I got a a fig omelette the second time yelp.com/biz_photos/WZyhâ€¦ , which wasn't very good. Figs were cooked, and they would have been a lot better raw. My friend got the rocky mountain crepe, which was okay yelp.com/biz_photos/WZyhâ€¦ . Nothing special. I got the smoked chicken and apple club seasonal special the third time, which wasn't bad.

The most delicious sweet or savory mouth watering breakfast. Or choose both. Upgrade an omelette and add banana bread french toast. Don't even bother with the syrup. You don't need it. It's real banana bread!

So you know from my reviews I don't give very many 5 stars. After looking for a reason the only thing I could think that could have lowered it would be the weather. When we first arrived they told us the wait would be 35 minutes however it was only 20. Kathy was our server and she was great as well as the entire staff. This place is managed well and the manager does a great job at hiring true talent. The food is great, the price is fair and the portions are huge. If I visit Great Lakes again I will be back. I decided not to hold the cold weather against them because it was warm inside. True customer service and experience.

Reading the reviews I expected a memorable brunch experience. The food was ok, not great...not worth the 30 minute wait. The server was friendly and helpful, but slow or over worked...so...the service was annoying.

Love this place! Great food and service. Always, always get the berry bliss pancakes. You won't be sorry!

I had a great experience with my sister and boyfriend at Wildberry today. I was having a little trouble deciding what to order because I wanted a skillet but with different ingredients than the ones that were listed on specific choices. Our waitress, Sarah, was very helpful in this matter. She informed me that I was able to create my own skillet. She was so attentive, and the meal came out very quickly. I enjoyed every last bite. I will be going back to Wildberry very soon!

"Woohoo! As good as it gets!" Wildberry is awesome. Even on busy Saturday mornings I have been seated promptly and received great service. If there is a wait, the coffee bar is conveniently located at the front of the restaurant so you can grab a drink while you wait. Everything my husband and I have ever ordered has been delicious, and their generous serving sizes mean I never leave hungry.

I was all too excited about eating here for brunch the other morning but left a little unsatisfied. The wait was fine as they had a nice Intelligentsia Coffee bar as you walk in so I could have my Caramel Machiato fix. The service was great and attentive even as it was extremely busy. The problem was the food... - Sausage undercooked - Eggs were uncooked and runny - Bacon was burnt - Hash browns were not seasoned and uncooked in the middle The Eggs Benedict was good as was my Chorizo Burrito but I chalk the unfinished food to the busy breakfast rush. Though this visit left me sad, I always give second chances...

You will hate this place if you are impatient because the wait is WAY TOO LONG. No reservations are accepted except on the weekdays and only for groups of 6 or more. So chances are you're going to have to wait. They try to appease you by offering complimentary coffee...but that doesn't help since I'm not a fan of that bitter brown liquid. However, the food is definitely worth it. The portions are humongous, prices are decent, and the service is pretty quick. I think I waited longer to be seated than the actual time it took my family to eat our food. Forget me nots: -Oreo S'mores pancakes: it's so delicious you won't be able to stop eating. My brother had to hide his plate from me so that he could finish his meal in peace. -Skillets were gigantic. I had the Mexicana while my mother ordered the Bacon, Mushroom and Onion. Honestly I couldn't tell the difference between the two. They are equally tasty, greasy, and large. -Skip the Fig and Walnut Multi-grain pancakes. This might be the healthiest in the pancake selection but definitely not the best. It's completely overshadowed by the Oreo S'mores Again, an emphasis on the portion sizes: we had enough leftovers the next day for a complete meal for 4. You definitely will be well fed here so come hungry.

I love breakfast and this is a special place. This is my first visit but it will not be my last. It was hard to choose from the many scrumptious looking items on the menu. I decided on the Napa Fig omelette, which was delicious. I paid the extra dollar for the Berry Bliss pancakes, which also were delicious. The presentation made the pancakes look too good to eat. The restaurant is a beautiful looking brick building with comfortable seating. While waiting you may enjoy a cup of coffee from the espresso bar. Service was wonderful.

I'm not quite sure why so many people are lined up outside of Wildberry Cafe on the weekends for breakfast. Sure, the french toast is good. But that's about it. I waited for over 30 minutes to try the tiramisu pancakes that everyone was raving about and was unimpressed. The pancakes didn't resemble tiramisu at all. Good thing we also ordered the berry french toast or the meal would have been a complete fail. The bacon and hash browns couldn't save the meal either. I would choose Walker Bros. over Wildberry any day. Heck, I would even go to Cracker Barrel for pancakes before I would eat the pancakes here. I will give Wildberry kudos for the speed of service though. Even though there were a lot of people waiting for tables, the line moved pretty quickly. And once we were seated, we were able to order and receive our food even faster.

Wow! Great breakfast for lunch! My family stopped in for a late lunch after Great America. We ordered the following: Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice (awesome!) Kids chocolate chip pancakes Kids smores pancakes Prime Rib French dip sandwich Apple wood Smoked bacon Hash Browns with Cheddar, onions and a side of sour cream All were fabulous and the breakfast items were similar to Walker Brothers which we also like but, I am giving Wildberry the edge because their hash browns were much better and the Prime Rib French dip was really awesome along with fries seasoned with Parmesan. It was an awesome late breakfast/lunch. The service was fantastic but, I will say we ate at almost 2pm so I imagine this place is packed in the morning. Even at 2pm they were busy. Driving in was difficult as their is currently construction on Milwaukee Avenue.

I came here with a large party (10+) and the service was excellent! They were able to accommodate separate checks for each of us (I called ahead to check on this, as well as make a reservation), and had one waitress for our party who had no problem managing all of us. The food was excellent, fresh, and hot when it came out. They are very busy, but I feel it is worth the wait because the food is so excellent!

Meghan H.

Though you will almost always have to wait to get a table here, it is always worth it. Despite the fact that the lobby area is crowded to beyond a fire-hazard, once you sit down and order, your food will come up freaky fast (in a good way). I've never had a bad meal here; everything on the menu is literally mouthwateringly good. My favorite breakfast restaurant ever. I make sure to come here often.
(5)
Brianne C.

There was no wait and the service was as it should be, so that was a good start. I ordered the wildberry oj, and I was pleasantly surprised with the freshness, and the berry puree did not add an overwhelming sweetness. The meal itself was tasty, the only hang up was my not-so-fresh salsa. I love breakfast food, and am always so bummed if I only get the option of a hearty egg meal or sweet pancakes. With wildberry I got the best of both worlds with a skillet and the tiramisu pancakes. Yum is all I can say... not an emphatic yum, buy yum nonetheless.

I love the senior special for $5.45 - 2 pancakes, 2 eggs and choice of sausage or bacon. Get the sausage - it's great! I prefer the breakfasts over the lunches. Can get really noisy at peak times.

This place is so amazing, that I'm writing a review just 10 minutes after I left. We hit the Sunday crowd, there were probably 20 people waiting outside. The host said that there was a 45 minute wait, but patio seating was immediately available... So we opted for the great outdoors. Not too long after we for seated, our amazing server came and got our drink orders. He was very friendly and down-to-earth! I got the Espanola Omelet with a side of fruit. The fruit is the same as other restaurants, but the omelet was MAGNIFICENT! The portion is huge, enough to fill two people. The Espanola is an omelet mixed with onion, cilantro, chorizo, etc. It was airy and delightful! Each bite had soooo many great favors. The pancakes are crispy on the service, yet nice and warm in the inside. I normally don't enjoy pancakes, but I almost wolfed these down! Our server is probably the best in Chicago. Haha. He did such an awesome job to check up on us, and we never had to ask for a refill for the coffee... And we got about 5 refills. He was always quick in returning with something that we asked for. Amazing food, even better service, and low prices. This is a staple stop for my future IL trips :)

Food is outstanding but slightly more expensive than your typical neighborhood breakfast place. But well worth the extra cost. Fresh squeezed orange juice. Yum! My favorite is the Eggs Benedict.
(5)
Brande W.

I'd call this place mediocre, at best. I don't understand what all the rave is about. Three of us ate there and thought our food was "ok." We had the Banana Bread French Toast, the classic Eggs Benedict, and the Breakfast Burrito. The main issue I had was that it all tasted so bland, and unseasoned, like it was cooked by a very untrained chef. I get a better breakfast in the diner down the road, inside the gas station. No thank you. Won't be back.

Neha N.

If you're in the mood for something sweet and full of calories....stop reading this review and head over to Wildberry now!! I've been twice and had the Tiramisu pancakes and the Pumpkin pancakes. They were both great. The pumpkin one is seasonal, so try it before it's gone. Pancakes are an indulgence for me, but they have flavored butter too....how can I keep away!? I tried the latte along with my meal, which was okay, but it doesn't matter because the food was perfect!

Meghan C.

Excellent food, excellent speedy service and nice decor! I love how they have specialty drinks and they have modern twists on traditional favorites. We have always had a good experience here and it's one of the few places I don't mind waiting for a table. Portions are huge, so if you don't have a big appetite sharing is highly recommended. You can really see why this place is so successful, I have zero complaints :)

Stacy Z.

Great breakfast joint, if a bit on the pricey side. This place is only open for breakfast and brunch, and pretty much always hopping. There are some really unique dishes on the menu and everything we have ordered has been wonderful. The portions are always huge and we've taken plenty of food home.

Patrice Y.

Service was excellent. Food was good. We had the Denver skillet & the Butchers Block skillet which had a bit too much cheese, otherwise very good. On a Sunday at 10:30am we waited 30 minutes for a table for 2. I recommend this facility.

Scott V.

This place is always jam packed. I have never been willing to wait the 45 minutes-1 hour it takes to get a seat on the weekends. We finally got the chance to dine here on a Friday morning and it was a full house, but no waiting. The food is good, but nothing that is really exceptional. It is standard breakfast food. Omelets, pancakes, etc. I had the Omelet on special with pancakes and hash browns, while it was good, it was not any better than some of the other local breakfast places. My rating of 3 stars is based mainly on the food. The food presentation was great. The food looked beautiful on the plate. The decor and service were also great. As has been said before, the parking is the worst part of this place. People drive like a**holes and fly into the limited spots available. The overall experience was good, not great.

Mike A.

I hate this place! Everything is so good and portions large enough to satisfy any appetite. The lines get long and you end up waiting for quite a while on the weekends, especially Sundays. I usually go for the Mexicana skillet or Venetian with a side of pancakes. I can not recall ever being disappointed here. So why do I hate it? I never eat this much for breakfast and the menu is vast and good that I over indulge. Service is a hit or miss depending on the server, but the front staff is very welcoming and the place has a great lively feel. In the area this is the top spot for breakfast.

Phoebe W.

Wildberry is a very cute place for brunch, but tends to be crowded on weekends. Service is good, but the last couple of times I've been there the waitress has been kind of flighty. I can't wait until summer so I can eat on their deck. Most of the breakfast items are pretty standard, but you can't go wrong with one of their skillets. I think their benedicts are only okay...but that may be from my lofty standards on Hollandaise sauce, thanks a lot Walker Brothers. Wildberry's Hollandaise sauce was too watery for me. Oh, and get the hazelnut coffee!

Melissa M.

This place is AWESOME!!! I love coming here with my family. The food has NEVER disappointed and they have THE BEST CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP AROUND!! They serve it Sunday's and it is delicious. I don't like the wait so much (1/2 hour on Sundays) but hey I can deal with it. The service is spot on.

Lisa K.

Needed breakfast before a meeting in the area and found this gem on yelp. Solid food, creative twists (my omelet had spinach, goat cheese, caramelized onions and bacon) and good "not too weak" coffee made this choice a winner! Accomodating to special requests as well! Walked by some delicious looking crepes on the way out.

David J.

Wow! Great breakfast spot and awesome lunch salads too. Freshly made salad dressings, all natural syrup for a delectable pancake and french toast offering. Its one of those places you visit where everything on the menu looks sooooo good that you want to try some of everything. Crepes, Red Velvet French toast, and all of the pancakes I sampled ( we had a large group) were excellent!

In town from southern California visiting my parents and went on Yelp to find a nice family-friendlybreakfast/brunch spot. I came upon Wildberry right away because of the great reviews and drove right over. I'm so glad I discovered Wildberry Cafe and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great local family-friendly breakfast/brunch place. The first thing you notice is the building itself, beautiful stonework with copper accents, large picture windows. Once inside you see the fireplace, stacked stone and the coffee bar/bakery display in the entryway. The interior is beautifully designed to make you feel like you're in your own model home. Our group of 10 was seated right away and started studying the menu. There is such a great selection and with 10 of us we nearly ordered a sample of everything! I was so glad I ordered the red velvet french toast, but it is really filling and worth sharing with someone. We also ordered the nutella crepes, biscuits & gravy, Southern eggs benedict, chipotle chicken salad, pancakes, hash browns, sausages, bacon, strawberry smoothie. I got to try a little bit of everything and can honestly say I liked everything I tasted. Service was great, ambience is great. I wish we had a breakfast place like this where we live in Southern California.

A little on the pricey side, but soooo worth it. Everything here is decadent. Sometimes overly so, for my taste, but there is something for everyone here. the Eggs Benedict is outrageous. The ham is thick and tasty and the eggs are always perfect. If you get a sweet coffee from the Batista (which is oh so handy while you wait) I would recommend asking them to use less pumps of the sweet stuff. Plus, you should know that coffee refills come free if you purchase one fancy pants beverage, and they will hook you up to go. The one in Libreville has a nice outside patio.

Have been going to this place for 8 years- since it opened! Absolutely love everything about it. The food always comes out quickly once you are seated, so it is always worth the wait on the weekends. (On week days there usually isn't a wait). The service is great, as well. The servers are always so attentive and give great recommendations. The fresh squeezed orange juice is a MUST. My personal favorite is the Napa Valley Fig Omelette, but also love the crepes and skillets! Woohooo!

I love this place. The Signature Wildberry Pancakes are probably the best pancakes i've ever had. Not comparable to Denny's, Ihop, etc in my opinion. These are just on a different level. The "Garden" sizzling skillet was also great...very fresh ingredients and much better then anything similar i've ever tried. I also tried the Tiramisu Pancakes, which are also excellent but just not as good as the Signature Pancake and had a little too much Chocolate in them for my liking. I'll stick to the Signature Pancakes and try out the different skillets next time i'm there for sure! The service was also very excellent, the waiter was always coming around to check on us and make sure that everything was good and that we didn't need anything else. Surprising, because we were there on a Saturday morning and this place was packed to the maximum with a 45-60 minute wait time. The wait is well worth it IMO, but if you really don't like waiting for good (I know - it was taunting standing there waiting while others dine on delicious breakfasts) this probably isn't the place for you. But if you don't mind a wait for a restaurant that offers a truly exquisite breakfast, you need to find yourself and Wildberry's.

My pregnancy happy place. I have always received great customer service and amazing food. I only wish they would open additional locations closer to me so I could go broke by investing in them :P
(5)
Parker P.

The place and service has really changed since the last time we have eaten there...maybe because we a a clueless redhead server, or just the food was not up to par. They charge 1.50 for pure maple syrup that's not even warm anymore. The hollendise sauce I feel comes directly out of a can or dry mix, but has definitely changed. Asked for the hash browns to be cooked not burnt and on a separate plate, and they came burnt on top sitting in the sauce...again, I blame the server, as she should have caught this error. The poached eggs, were actually over done, but because of the wait for other items, I just ate them...pancakes are now average at best. Think we will give this place a rest for a year or so...Emily's right now is a better choice.

We went for breakfast yesterday at an established, well-known breakfast restaurant in Lincolnshire, and as we wound down the meal, we kept discussing Wildberry. First, thier pancakes are fluffy and delicious, even when reheated. Second, they don't cheap out on their eggs by putting milk and cream and thinners in there. If you order scrambled eggs, they will be scrambled EGGS. Third, the glass size for the beverages is ample. I ordered an orange juice yesterday at another place and they served it in something a little larger than a shot glass. Wildberry is fresh and the service is always fast, even when they have ten million people in the restaurant (which is pretty much every weekend). We drove by here on the way to the other breakfast place at 8:30 am, and there was already a line of people waiting. It's that good, folks. Breakfast is such an artform. It is not easy to get everyone's eggs/pancakes/french toast/meats to the table all hot and fresh at the same time. They have mastered this.

I often visit with my husband after yoga for brunch. The crepes are beyond delicious, and I love the varieties of pancake syrup! The staff have been great with all of our questions and my sons allergies. I love that they offer substitutions for him. My husband always orders the breakfast burrito and recommends it highly!

Showed up Sunday @ 12:30 with wife, daughter and 90 year old Mom. Line out the door. My wife went to ask about the wait. One hour was the answer. My wife said "thanks but its a little long for Mom, she's 90". Danielle, the hostess said "wait, I'll get you a table". Within 5 minutes we were seated. That's above the call! Our server Rigo was friendly and polite. This is a place we've been wanting to try for some time. I promise you, we won't be strangers. All our meals were great! Banana creme pie pancakes, Blackened chicken sandwich,Panini and Florence benedict were all perfect. Thanks for the great service Danielle and Rigo...Taylor too!

God, I hate this part of America... The part where your people build random strip malls in desolate emptyness surrounded by ploughed fields of nothingness. That is where this Wildberry is located - in a field in the middle of damn nowhere, just like everything else in this "neighbourhood" (can you even call it that? You can't walk to anything and there are no buses). Anyways... this Wildberry is really good if you're at this intersection of gas station/wildberry/starbucks/field for some reason. I always travel here with my regular sales guy, Jay. His job on our trips is twofold: 1. drive me around 2. make sure we eat at places I will like so I can perform in our meetings and his responsibilities don't change That's it. That's all he has to do and he is excellent at it. I love our working relationship. He knows what's up. We were staying in a hotel in a field across the street form a propane cylinder factory and a Wendy's (and nothing else for MILES) and drove by Wildberry when we got lost, the first time trying to find the place we were working at. He immediately pulled over and said "you will like this place." He knows me, so I was like "awesome." The good: - the waiter let me split everything to try every option - he let me have one pancake and one toast. One ham and one bacon. One half orange juice and one half coffee. It was exceptionally great customer service and flexibility. - the food was a lot better than I expected - it's very inexpensive - the portions are large - very clean, including clean restrooms - the booths can seat 20 people The bad: - the decor & ambiance was terrible (though it was very new and clean - it was just really... country-tasteless-tacky) - the booths are big enough to fit 20 people and there were only 2 of us so it was funny/weird - there is actually not a tonne of parking which is a trend for popular spots in Libertyville/Waukegan/wherever this is Overall, I would eat here again very happily. I give this two thumbs up given the situation (working at a gated compound down the road surrounded by empty fields... and a toll highway. OMG where am I!)

I don't know if I'd say that I thought the Wildberry CafÃ© menu was LYING, exactly. But certainly when I read the phrase "fluffy omelette", I'm not sure I took them entirely at their word. 85% of American breakfast spots include the word "fluffy" somewhere on their menu, typically adjacent to the word "pancake" or "omelette". It's an overused, meaningless descriptor. Or so I thought. Listen up, people! When the Wildberry CafÃ© menu describes their omelettes as "fluffy"... for the love of God, BELIEVE THEM. Those omelettes are fluffy as a long-haired kitten wearing a cotton ball coat and a top hat made from the pelt of the Downy Snuggle Bear. In fact, I didn't know it was possible for an omelette to be TOO fluffy, until I ordered a Wildberry CafÃ© "fluffy omelette" with egg whites. This was a mistake of my own doing. I essentially ate a plate of meringue, filled with spinach and cheese. This was my own fault for doubting their word. Fluffy omelettes indeed. Eat, enjoy, and believe.

The wait on weekends is really long. And the food is just ok. The quality is similar to walker bros and I prefer the later for the price and wait time.

This was my son's favorite place to eat while he was in School for the Navy at Naval Station Great Lakes. He would send us pictures every weekend of his new breakfast adventure. I picked him up from his duty station for Christmas break and I just had to try this. I ordered an omelet with hashbrowns. Wow what great flavors. The hashbrowns were crispy and fresh. The omelet was well seasoned and filled with meats and cheese. No skimping here. My son always does the Hash and one of their many waffle combinations. Kris say's the Hash is second to none! Big airy restaurant, lots of seating and very clean. Bright and well lit. Because of the numbers of tables and customers you do need to raise your voice a little to carry on a conversation and the tables are a little close for my liking but I tend to like my space.

Boz B.

It says online plus we were told on the phone that we can do call-ahead seating for parties of 6 or more. We had 9 people and called in our reservation hours in advance as we were told to do. When we arrived, they told us we had at least a 45 minute wait! We asked how can that be when we did the call-ahead and she told us oh sorry, someone should have told you it is not a guarantee. Well no one did tell us and it didn't say it online so how would we know?? I explained that this was their mistake and we have 5 hungry children and drove 30 minutes to get here so we would like to please be taken care of to which she replied with a major attitude, sorry nothing I can do. Then I asked to speak to the manager and she said he is busy. I said how can there not be anyone above you to speak to and she said well ok I will call him but it will be a while. By this point, we had enough and left. How unbelievably upsetting and annoying especially for my 4 year old who was hysterical about getting back in the car. They didn't even offer us anything for our trouble! They could care less! This was our first and last time there ever!! How unprofessional to mislead us about the call-ahead seating, not care at all how upset we were about a unbelievable 45 min wait after calling ahead, and then tell us the manager is busy! I wish there was less than one star!!

My Life is Yummy K.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and my family loooves to go out for breakfast on weekends. Wildberry is such a great place to go with my family. It is so kid friendly and it's easy to take my 2 month old here. Most kid friendly places have bad food, but that is not the case with Wildberry. The food is awesome and the prices are even better! I really enjoy the pancakes, french toast, and Belgian waffles here. The eggs are always cooked perfectly, just the way I like it. Just avoid going on Sunday mornings, the wait was over 1 hour so we ended up getting food to-go. FYI the food is even great if you get it to go. They put it in really sturdy containers that I like to use over and over at home. :)

Fresh, delicious food and friendly service. I love their modern twists on classics. Breakfast is outstanding. Soups and sandwiches are a cut above. My kids especially like the fruity pebble pancakes. My only complaint would be the wait at peak times, but it just goes to show that everyone in town knows a good thing when they find it.

This is a fantastic breakfast spot! Try the pancakes, the crepes, the bacon and the sausage! There are lots of seasonal specials too that are great to check out. I'm kind of surprised to see reviews for here that say things were undercooked! I never had that problem here. Best part about this place is the "coffee-while-you-wait" bar. What a nice touch.

Sarah K.

I have driven by this place with out of town guests intending to stop at least five times. The wait was always too long and we went elsewhere. Last winter we finally managed to stop in when there was plenty of time to wait for a table. They got us drinks, menus, and our order really fast but I didn't feel rushed like I sometimes do at these places. I ordered a southwestern style omelette--it was fantastic! They pulled off the spicy omelette thing really well. I'll definitely go back, as long as the wait isn't too long.

Kristen A.

Meh. Personally, I feel that the only reason this place gets good reviews is because it's in Libertyville and there's really not much else to compare it to. I think that if your idea of good eating is the Cheesecake Factory (a nice enough setting, portions bordering on too much, extensive menu with no running theme), you'll really enjoy Wildberry Cafe.

Deb H.

I'm rounding up from what I think is a 4.5 star place. My favorite here is the fresca omelette with fresh basil, sun-dried tomato and cheese. It is usually perfect, but sometimes they use basil that has no flavor (which is why I would take .5). I love that they adjust things to my needs without a problem. They don't list it on the menu, but they will make you a 2 egg omelette instead of 3 and substitute fruit for the hash browns. Their wildberry juice is so good and fresh! I love coming here with my family on the weekends. Everyone's (except me) an early bird in my house, so we usually open the place without a wait at all! I also meet up with the girls here occasionally and it is always so relaxed and not rushed. The service is attentive and accurate (hope I didn't jinx it by saying that). Nice atmosphere too.

Karene P.

I've been to this place two times, both being very enjoyable. Your visit here to Wildberry starts off with of course the line which to me happens to be the only downside...but of course good things come to those who wait. So If you and your appetite can stomach the long lines, then I highly suggest that wait, for the food portions make up in dividends. I had on my first visit your typical breakfast, scramble eggs, bacon, sausage, and hash brown...but on top of that I had the strawberry Belgian waffles. My second visit I had the corn beef hash with again strawberry Belgian waffles again. Both meals were fresh and tasteful. Good thing about the long wait from early, is that I had built up such an appetite to eat, that I was able to scarf down all my food...I had no intentions of saving any for later. But of course food is only half the battle...the service on top of their delicious food was welcoming. Both waiters were punctual and keen on the refills to the point where I would literally turn away from my cup to talk with my friends, and look back to a glass filled to the brim. They definitely played a major role in keeping people happy while they anxiously wait for their food. Overall, Wildberry definitely deserves repeated visits. Good Food Good Service Good Atmosphere Good Job!

Parking is absolutely crap! Every time I've been here (7-8 times on the weekend), there are crazy nuts zooming around the lot looking for that "one" open spot. Watch your children, as these morons are certainly not! The last time I was there, some idiot physically threaten me and my wife because I somehow "stole" his parking spot--cops were called, stupidity... Food is decent, but nothing special compared against any of the other "gourmet" breakfast spots. Their seasonal specials are enjoyable (but not unique to Wildberry). The only food I would not recommend ordering is their bacon--it's terrible. In general, the restaurant is really NOT worth the limited parking hassles and wait times. I'd recommend taking your blood pressure medicine if you do decide to embark on this adventure. One last remark--I hate begging for a coffee refill--100% of the times I've been here, I've had to ask for a refill.

The food is as good as all the other reviews indicate. Kristen S. is on-point with the Cheesecake Factory comparison ... but if you are not offended by grown men in shorts, a few loud brats, and all the attendant lameness of weekend brunch in the burbs, you should make it out unscathed. On Sundays, try to beat the church crowd if you can: the line seemed to get ridiculous around 10am. Bonus: free (good) coffee while you wait.

sO ... sO I do have to give credit to their plethora of options on their menu. They have everything from a VEGGIE OMELETTE (which is pretty decent) to a TIRAMISU pancake that is tasty too. THEY HAVE SOMETHING FOR EVERY DIET. PLUS their food doesn't seem to be cooked with mounds of oil or salt which gives you room to add salt if needed or sauce it up (better then having your food taste like the ocean or as if it was dipped in butter and oil). Service is quick, staff is very helpful and attentive, and the food comes out in a a timely manner.

Dear Rest of Yelp: 4.5 stars for this place? You're crazy. Wildberry is an ok brunch place. It's not like I'm eating their pancakes, bacon, or whatever and getting my socks blown off, then calling my friends and scheduling my next visit. To be fair their stuff is pretty good, definitely a step above Denny's and IHOP. But compared to the Egg Harbors or Le Peeps of the world, the WB is about equal. Once upon a time they were the only brunch game in town. On weekends the wait would be out the door (and maybe it still is) and their food was actually pretty good. But the past couple times I've been here, the food was just ok and I couldn't help but wonder if their glory days are behind them. Now, if other people wanted to go here I wouldn't complain. But if it's up to me I think I'd rather go somewhere else. The parking lot can also be fairly crowded. In conclusion, Wildberry is a fine establishment but nothing that special. In a couple years (or even months) I wouldn't be surprised if it became a mediocre establishment.

Just got back from breakfast and it was outstanding. Our waitress was very attentive and bubbly. Our meal was hot, cooked perfectly and was very tasty. There are very few places that make Eggs Benedict to my liking, but this is one of them. A perfect poached egg - Who knew! Best of all we had our food in about 10 minutes of sitting down. As some reviewers have noted there can be quite the line and parking can be difficult. To my wife and I it is well worth the wait. We went during the middle of Sunday brunch service (11:15 am) and there must have been a 100 cars in the parking lot. I kid you not the parking spills over into the parking of the two closed businesses next door. Still I was able to find a parking spot immediately and was seated only 35 minutes later. I have waited as long on a Sunday or holiday at other, smaller restaurants. To make the wait more enjoyable they have a Seattle's Best coffee / espresso bar with pastries in the waiting area. Finally, when you are put on the wait list you are given a menu and one of those "paging pucks" so that you won't miss the call for your party.

Very good but a bit overrated... its packed every single morning of the week. I waited almost 40 minutes just for breakfast but my banana pancakes were good!

W.O.W. Just wow. I haven't met a plate here yet that I haven't licked clean. Everything I try is amazing! I've tried Walker Brothers, Eggsperience, Egg Harbor and other such spots in the area and NOTHING compares to the deliciousness of Wildberry!!! I'll schlep out here any day to get my fix!

I been here several times. Nothing out of ordinary. Just the typical American breakfast in the middle of no where. Good service. Good food. Limited Parking. As said before, nothing spectacular.

As a father of a 3 and 1 year old, going out to eat isn't so much a treat as it is a chore, so it takes someplace wonderful to entice me to take the family out to eat. I can honestly say that Wildberry Cafe will bring us back again and again. I LOVE breakfast, and Wildberry certainly has lots of options, some unique, and some good old comfort. What they don't lack is portion size, and much like most American restaurants, they could scale back the size a bit. I had a fairly healthy egg white omelet for my meal, but next time back will not be so good to myself...gotta try the Banana Bread French Toast - yum! If you are looking for a great place for breakfast, alone or with the family, don't look further than Wildberry!

I live in California and was in the area for a naval graduation when we decided to come here for breakfast. The next time I come to the Chicago area I might rent a car and drive here just to eat those Wildberry Pancakes again. They were that good. The Oreo smores that another person at our table had were also amazing. So decadent. 5 stars all the way.

Suzy R.

Very good. The eggs Benedict was good but the pancakes were just okay. Overall, the service is fast and friendly. There is usually a 30 min wait but worth the wait. I come here whenever I have a chance :)

ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES to go to while I am in town. I have to say I go every trip. Wildberry (BLISS) pancakes are delicious. I have the eggs, sausage and other breakfast norms and they are good. Service is always pleasant and prompt. Is tough to go here on the weekends, its always packed and a wait, I would assume it would not be a pleasant wait when the weather is bad. Other than the crowds, I have no complaints, this place will remain my favorite breakfast spot in IL.

Joanne C.

I'm not big on going out for breakfast; so I don't have a ton of restaurants to compare. I did find the service friendly and the Banana Bread French Toast delicious! My aunt introduced to me this place a number of years ago. I hosted my parents' 40th anniversary luncheon here a few years after that. (A great place for the Chicago relatives and Wisconsin relatives to meet in the middle!) My recent trip was just as consistent and good! This place is also very clean, which is high on my value scale!

Jim U.

Excellent breakfast restaurant. Very nice looking place on the outside and in. My wife had a veggie restaurant, my son and I had corned beef hash. Everything tasted excellent. We got there about 8:30am on a Saturday and got seated right away. But by 9:30am the place was full and had a wait. So the recommendations of getting here early are right on the nose.

Carolynne M.

OK so forget that this place is located in BFE Libertyville, the waitstaff had a rather bored, mechanical way about them, or the style of the building & interior was designed in the style of "Early Millenium McMansion" - I say to you NONE of this matters after you have a breakfast of the caliber of the one I had yesterday. Five words: Bacon Leek Fig Brie Omelette YES - FigBaconLeekBrieOmelette! Oh my god the words themselves are making me drool right now. This was no mere breakfast - it was a RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE. The sweetness of the fig, the saltiness of the bacon, the pungent silkiness of the brie, the snappy onion flavour of the leek - all melded together to make for a breakfast of simply epic proportions. You have never had breakfast until you have had this omelette. Sadly this omelette was offered as a special, but I seriously must urge Wildberry heavily to put this as a regular offering. I would absolutely drive to Libertyville for another taste of this dish again. Oh my yes.

Parking... some days there is none and you park in the grass towards the back...(because this place is good) Wait... On the weekends you could be waiting 15mins-hour due to USN recruits graduation and of course because this place is that good. Staff.. I love yes the bus boys some times are a show because they are crazy fast but they also just try to do their jobs so they will ask and reach over you to remove things (no reason to knock of stars) Food... My suggestion... get a wildberry orange juice don't let your self down if you are going for the first time do it write. Make sure what you order will also get your some wildberry jam :-D. For the quality of food you are going to get you will be surprised it at that price. I get two eggs subsitute the options for fruit and a biscuit and the wildberry orange juice all for 10 dollars. They use the best grade of eggs which i love. They use AA-grade eggs and have a full coffee bar to get you any treat to drink with your meal.

WOW! The waffles here still have a place in my heart. I came here on 2 occasions while I was stationed at the near-by Naval Base, all I can say is Wildberry's is my favorite breakfast place ever. They need more locations, seriously.... I got the Espenola Omelettes and Belgian Waffles....simply amazing!

Sue F.

It's the best breakfast place in the area. But can use improvement. The food has been inconsistent. One time I had the egg white, sun-dried tomato , provolone omelet thing (sorry, can't recall the name of the dish) and thought it was the best egg white omelet I've had, next time it was too watery and under-cooked , not at all fluffy like the first time. Had the breakfast burrito once. It had the same issue as every restaurant. The insides are way too watery....runs the burrito. Coffee drinks are good. Kids items are great. However, they should have a child sized yogurt parfait. They continue to charge me for an adult portion and my kids can't finish it. Overall, the dishes are creative, more so than any breakfast place in the area. And they are also executed better than any place in the area, hence the 4 stars.

Love there food, service is not bad either. Only thing not happy about is the kid menu choice isn't that great.

Andrew V.

The Wildberry had nice ambience, good service, and good coffee. The people who greeted us were friendly, and the wait staff was responsive. For a breakfast place especially, this is really important. The food was so-so. I had two eggs over-easy, hash browns, bacon and pancakes. The eggs were perfect, the bacon was tasty. However, the hash browns AND the pancakes were underdone (when I flipped the pancakes over, they were almost white on the bottom). The hash browns were also a little under-spiced/bland for my taste. My wife had two eggs over easy, hash browns, sausage patties and english muffins. The sausage patties were pretty gross, and I don't recommend them. Her eggs were a bit underdone. They had really awesome whipped butter and "homemade" "wildberry" jam. In the immediate area, I still think Bennedict's in East Dundee is the best place for breakfast.

Dave Z.

I had banana bread french toast, which was good. The waiter, however, kept reaching over me to serve at our table of 8. He could have passed things down. Plus, he asked for my choice of sides, as if they came with the french toast.

I've been having wonderfully delicious breakfasts here since it opened and no other breakfast place comes even close! I absolutely love the Mexicana skillet which has chorizo and avocado in it and it's got a little bit of a spicy kick to it--it wakes up your taste buds in the morning. I also love the Wildberry Belgian waffles, love the Wildberry jam, you can buy a jar of it to take home. Fresh squeezed orange juice is actually fresh and fabulous. Service has always been good even when they're busy with a line of people out the door. Expect to wait weekend mornings but it is definitely worth the wait. Prices are very reasonable too. I feel confident recommending Wildberry to anyone--5 stars is not enough--love it, love it, love it!

Missy T.

Maybe I'm just spoiled by all the great places for brunch in the city of Chicago, but Wildberry is way over rated. The food is passable, let's just call it the Chili's of breakfast food. If you come on Easter be prepared to wait but at least you'll get to watch all the town folk eating Easter brunch in there fanciest blue jeans. I guess this place is great for lake county but a brunch spot with no mimosas or bloody's just doesn't cut it for this city girl.

Doug G.

We have avoided going here since we moved to LIbertyville only because the place always looks PACKED and the one time we got out of the car, the waiting list was 45 minutes. But today we took a flyer at about 10 a.m. on a Friday and gave it a shot. WOW, what a delight! The Caramel Apple Pecan French Toast was out of this world. The Butcher Block Skillet was first class. The coffee was good, the big glass of milk was ice cold and the service was spot-on. We are now sorry we didn't try it much sooner and we will definitely be back. Total bill was like $23 plus tip and we had leftovers.

Harish I.

Aaaaaaamazing veggie omelette. This place is the "perfect" brunch/breakfast place. Everything was so fresh and so tasty. Service is excellent. Coffee is great too. Though the menu is typical for any brunch place, the taste is far from it. Great recommendation for business visitors to libertyville to have an interesting breakfast or lunch.

I am not really a breakfast person at ALL, but when I am at Wildberry, that changes! One of my visits here,I ,too, made the mistake of ordering lunch. At first I requested a turkey burger, but was informed it would take 40 minutes. Ok, then! Forgot what I got in its place, but it was just "meh". Now, the good stuff at Wildberry: that would be all things pancake and crepe here! I HIGHLY suggest you try the Tiramisu pancakes. I don't know where else you could find such a thing- but they are out of this world, and I inhaled those like Kirstie Alley hiding from the paparazzi post drive-thru. And I'd do it all again. I also tried the potato latkes (ok, so they call them 'pancakes'. They're latkes!). They were perfect. PERFECT! I had ordered the same thing at Walker's once, and they just aren't in the same league. In fact, this place kicks Walker's tucchus in so many ways it's not even funny. If you're a devotee of Walker's and anywhere near Wildberry, you just might not be back after giving this place a try. Other huge plus: their service has always been superb, and you hardly ever wait for your food. The turkey burger that never was is another story , but at least they warned me!

Delicious. My husband is at Great Lakes right now, and based on the great reviews on here, we decided to try this place out last weekend when I was visiting. Sure enough, there was a crowd, but we expected that. The wait wasn't too bad - maybe 20 minutes (it was a Saturday around 10am). The service was great and the food was delicious! I am a very picky eater that early in the day, plus I'm not a fan of most breakfast food to begin with. I had the Mexican skillet and it was really yummy. Very fresh and you felt like you were eating real food (vs. the crap you get at chain breakfast places that shall remain nameless). Anyway, I'll be visiting my husband again in the future and we'll definitely be back. Also they serve Seattle's Best coffee which I love. Huge bonus.

Chad H.

Brunch is my favorite meal of the day, so it's no small claim when I say this is one of the best places to go to brunch in the entire country, let alone Illinois. The portions are huge and everything on the menu is incredibly tasty. In particular, I love their corned beef hash skillet and their omelets / scrambles. You also can get pancakes as a side dish instead of toast with other entrees, and I highly recommend that too, as their pancakes are incredible. They also have great hot chocolate. The only negative is that you'll have to wait a while to get a table on the weekends, but that's true with any good brunch place.
(5)
Ray A.

I love their menu because it takes breakfast to a slightly unorthodox and very interesting place. My favorite is the create your own omelette and the whole grain pancakes... Very delicious!!!! Yes, you'll wait a while to get seated, but it's worth the wait. Great for parties, groups and children, great breakfast drink options as well. The only thing I don't like that I guess the establishment can't help is the snobby-ass white people with enough money to buy the newest BMW, but not enough sense to discipline their bad ass kids when they spit food on the floor and sporadically cuss out loud!! That's the only thing that cost them the last star...

James R.

I'm honestly baffled by all the good reviews for this place. After hearing so much about it, I went there a few weekends ago to try it out. I ordered the blueberry pancakes. What I got were tough, chewy pancakes with powdered sugar and frozen blueberries sprinkled on the top. The fruit wasn't even fresh! In addition, it comes with no sides like eggs or sausage - that is all extra. The food wasn't much better than IHOP or Denny's. And the place is way too small for all the people that come. During winter you have to stand outside in the freezing cold for an hour before getting your subpar meal. Save your money and time and go to some place better. My personal recommendation is egg harbor cafe (located in Lincolnshire and Lake Forest).

Kerri L.

I made a very poor decision by ordering lunch instead of breakfast here, and I plan on fixing that on my next visit. I ordered the french dip and a chicken caesar salad. The salad was tasty, but the french dip was tasteless. I took it home and fixed it, and it was ok then, but i was expecting more from it. We went in the afternoon though, so I wasn't planning on ordering breakfast. It's my own fault for ordering lunch from a breakfast place, oh well. I'll order breakfast next time, and hopefully i'll have a better opinion.

This is a great breakfast and lunch spot, outdoor seating in good weather. Highest recommendation, especially for potato pancakes. Also serves free coffee on weekends or when there is a line. The lines tend to move fast.

The Los Altos Benedict is FANTASTIC! Eggs perfectly poached, chorizo is almost as good as I've found in El Paso, and the flavor of the holladaise complements everything very well. Got some house made preserves to try, also fantastic.

Lea T.

I've gone here a couple times for breakfast, and it's always busy. They do have call-ahead in lieu of reservations so I think that helped expedite things. Our server seemed to be in the weeds and mixed up our order. The food is pretty typical breakfast food, not bad and good selection, but nothing super special. But it's a good local spot for my friends that live in the suburbs, so I don't mind coming here.

Karina G.

Visiting my sister in suburban Illinois always means a few different things. One of them is Wildberry's. I love coming here with my sister's family. It is definitely a home-y vibe. The hostess, waitresses, and waiters are all nice here. The food is yummy. Im not a huge fan of breakfast like the rest of my family is so its great to see on the menu the option for lunch or for non typical breakfast food. I have tried majority of their Belgian waffles and they are all yummy! Their daily specials are also good! Came here last weekend and tried their daily special of banana nutella waffles! Yumm-tastic!

Brandon C.

You know, it was decent. I didn't hate it by any means, but there was nothing about the food that will keep me anxious to return. Service was pleasant, food was solid, but overall it was overpriced and overhyped. Is it a nice and classy place? Yes, but if a delicious breakfast is more important, then Cracker Barrel still owns that category in my mind.

Rediculous Waite, no parking, olive garden style building and atmosphere, very rushed, fresh juices, almost no meals with meat have to order as a side, ok meal nothing special and not worth the loud cramped stay and the ridiculous wait to be seated.

Brunch is my favorite meal and when I first move to a city- I search out the restaurants that specialize in type of food. WOW- I love this place & I have HIGH standards. After living in San Francisco for the past 5 years- there are MANY places like this there with great food and a LONG WAIT. The 30 min wait on late Sunday morning was so worth my time. The Banana Bread French Toast was AMAZING and to was the omelet with the Provolone cheese & Sun Dried tomatoes. Defiantly worth the drive north on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning!!!!

Meredith F.

Wildberry Cafe offers a wide variety of breakfast foods as well as a surprising amount of salad/lunch options. Our waiter was attentive, although I will say he was a little too formal for the location (yes mam, no mam ... I'm 26 for crying out loud, not 50!). The restaurant itself however is very comfortable and was quite crowded with its regular breakfast goers. I ordered a make your own omelet. My omelet was huge, served in what was more of a large bowl than a plate with hash browns. The meal also included a choice of bread or pancakes on the side. Be prepared to either eat a lot or take something home! The pancakes were excellent (I personally may get just pancakes next time) although I didn't find the omelet to really be anything special. Also recommended if you want something light ... they have wheat crepes with fresh berries. I got to try a little off of my breakfast cohort. Great way to eat well when you're counting the calories. There are definitely some other things on this menu that I would like to try before giving this restaurant my final opinion ... but so far, they are definitely on my good side.

The S'mores pancakes were EXCELLENT!!! My wife enjoyed the tiera misue pancakes and thought they were delicious. From what our group enjoyed you really can't go wrong with anything in the place! Service was slow but friendly. A must if you're in the area looking for breakfast or brunch.

Jason S.

What a Wildberry Surprise! We happened on this place while visiting friends in the burbs. Absolutely excellent breakfast! There was a "worth it wildberry wait" but the ingenious Seattle's Best Coffee for sale just inside made the time disappear. We sat in the outdoor seating under the shade of an umbrella and thoroughly enjoyed our skillets with a side of tasty pancakes and fantabulous crispy hash browns the way they were intended to be served. The prices were surprisingly low. Our only wish is that this place were closer to home! I smell bacon and franchise opportunity!

There was a wait of about 20 minutes. Not too bad for a Saturday morning. However the food was not even mediocre but better than horrible. Don't order the 100% maple syrup because they only give you one little jar of it. I would have needed maybe three of them but for $1.75 a piece it didn't seem worth it. The restaurant was kind of dirty too, smudges on the walls, paper on the floor, beat up furniture. I know they were busy but that's no reason they cant have someone with a broom cleaning up trash and there only open for breakfast and lunch, so why not clean the walls in the evening. There was a lot of kids there too. Probably a normal amount my girlfriend says but I don't like them so it seemed like a lot. If you like family restaurants with OK food and don't mind crowds I would recommend this place. The menu has some original items and they are reasonably priced. But don't expect anything speciall at this place or you will be disappointed.

Yum! This place serves fabulous breakfast. Really delicious food, and an expansive menu with a large variety. Everything was delicious and the coffee was really tasty. I had the pancakes with berries (something of a specialty here, given the name), and it was awesome. Huge portions and reasonable prices. They accommodated a large group of us with no problem, and the service was delightful. I was only in/around Chicago for a few days, but this was a definite highlight.

I don't understand what the hype is all about. I'm not kidding, but this place sucked ass! I've been better places. We went because of the reviews and everyone seemed to compliment this place. I had the veggie omelets and yes, the portions were huge... But it was kinda dry. Service wasn't that great either.

Yum! Every time I go, I think, "Why don't I come here more often?" The food is yummy, and decor is nice and the place is always clean. I'm not giving 5 stars because the prices are a tad high.

Jessica B.

Definitely one of my favorite restaurants ever. I like to call Wildberry "dessert for breakfast" because that's basically what a good portion of the menu is. They specialize in sweet, indulgent breakfast items, although their omelettes and other savory meals are also excellent. I like that there is a full coffee bar, so I can enjoy a good latte with breakfast. The lunch is just as good as breakfast. The salads are so delicious. The portions are very large and the temptation ot overeat is irresistable. My only complaint is that the wait is usually 30 minutes or more (even though there is a lot of seating and service is fast) and that they aren't open all day.
(5)
Richard B.

Slow service once we were seated. We did not have a long wait. Menu was pretty extensive. I would place them right along with Walker Brothers price wise. The place just has a 'lodge at Disney' feel to it. Not cold but you don't feel like you've been welcomed into someones restaurant. Very corporate attitude, decor and atmosphere. Oh, the coffee was good!

Ted C.

I came here for lunch and thought the world of this place. The food was really good it tasted so fresh and I just remember being really amazed by the taste. The interior of the restaurant was nicely decorated it felt very warm and homey. I thought the far northern suburbs were remote outposts of large homes and maybe a gas station or two with a McDonald's thrown in but this place made me change my mind.

Lil C.

Superb! Great food, breakfast and lunch. Service is great and love the new construction. Generous portions with fresh fruit and salads and breakfast fair. Perfect for brunch but be prepared to wait, there is always a line and they don't take reservations. Good business lunch place but hard to get in and out of there in an hour.

Elyse C.

I love you Wildberry! I would eat here everyday for breakfast if I could. Everything I have ate here has been amazing. Im a big fan of the mexican type scrambles and omelets. Yesterday We had breakfast here and one of the specials was eggs bene with chorizo and serrano ham it was amazing! love it! its a must go but you have to get here early on the weekends or you will be waiting a long time but hey its worth it!

I won't go comparing this to Walker Bros. as I feel they are two totally different styles of breakfast but I will say that when it comes to my morning time dollar, this is giving the big WB a run for their money... Wildberry is at a pretty good location for its business-far enough away from the clusterf*@! of downtown Libertyville but not way out in the boonies. Even the good ole boys from Great Lakes could make it down here in a reasonable amount of time. That being said, this place is INCREDIBLY popular with us Suburban folk so it gets packed. I've waited for over an hour but it's been worth it every time. Luckily they have a coffee shop in the front so you can order beverages while waiting and if you bring your cup to the table your server won't re-charge you for that beverage if it's refillable (soda, coffee, tea, etc.). The service is always pretty good, never had any complaints. The booths are big and great for groups. A few weeks ago we held 6 adults and 1 guy in a chair at the end. I've also eaten here with groups 10+ and they have been very accomodating with seperating bills and putting together large tables. I would definitely call ahead and put your name on the wait list though, big party or not. On to the food. I've had a number of different things here, most recently the Wildberry French toast, the Mexicana skillet, Espanola omelette (HUGE) and a Sunday special, the Benny Benedict (eggs benedict with a corned beef hash and chipotle hollendaise - orgasm in my mouth). Things I have yet to try (there just never seems to be enough hangover Sundays to do it all) - Nutella Crepes (study abroad in Italy anyone? This was my achilles heel there), Wildberry Belgian, Banana Bread French Toast, sweet potato fries, and the infamous Tiramisu pancakes.The orange juice is fresh squeezed, the coffee is decent (although I've never been a fan of Seattle's Best) and my friends have seemed to enjoy a variety of their smoothies/blended coffee drinks. The best part about any meal there is the wildberry preserves they serve with your toast or pancakes. This stuff is sweet deliciousness on my knife and I always put way too much on my bread. So worth it. Wildberry is a truly amazing breakfast experience, just be ready to wait because the rest of Lake County is thinking the same thing.

go early, on weekends, to beat the rush. we though we had and we still had quite a wait. the food here was all very good but it might be true that much of it is trying a little too hard. the biscuits and gravy tasted good but not like biscuits and gravy, for instance, because somebody had to make sure to try and "bam" it up with a bunch of crap that doesn't really belong in there. everything else was very good, if a little pretentious. there is a point where more flavor, more special ingredients, more exotic crap thrown in just isn't more any more. this place seems to ride on the line. the service, though, was excellent and nothing was of poor quality. i would be happy to go again. if you like biscuits and gravy, though, skip them at this place. wtf is rosemary doing in there?

Love this place. Always try to hit it when we are in town, and often go out of the way to make a visit as well. Top notch service, good quality ingredients and delicious food! Often times there is a wait for a table, but when the experience is this good that's to be expected.

This was another place that was suggested on the navyformoms website while I was visiting Chicago for hubby grad. Decided to go here for breakfast after picking up my husband from the base along with my daughter and mother in law. It was about 8am on a Saturday and we were seated immediately. First of all the decor and the inside of the restaurant was really cute and cozy feeling with a fireplace inside. I did feel like people were staring at us. Maybe its more of a local place? Or maybe because my husband was in uniform? Who knows, but we saw another Navy family there. My mother in law ordered eggs with sausage and pancakes. I kept reading eggs were extremely fluffy, but they were normal to me. My daughter ordered the bisquits and gravy with a hot chocolate. I ordered the tiramisu pancakes. And my husband ordered the homemade corned beef hash with a freshly squeezed orange juice. My daughters bisquits and gravy weren't good. The bisquits were really dry and the gravy had a weird taste. I liked that they put her drink in a to-go cup so she was able to take it with her, but the fresh hot chocoate was extremely sweet! I ordered a regular size meal for her so she could bring leftovers back to the hotel, but she didn't like it so it was a bit of a waste! My husbands food on the other hand was good, he said it was ok, but I thought it was tasty. His orange juice was good! Freshly squeezed and really good! I didn't taste my mother in laws food. My pancakes were very different, but in a good way. I love tiramisu, but it tasted a little different, very sweet, but in a good way. Its hard to explain. Haha. I could only eat half because it was so much! The presentation of all our foods looked very appetizing too. I like when chefs take the time to make the food look pretty. Haha. I just do. I really liked this place because of the cozy feeling, the cleanliness and decor of the restaurant and variety of foods. If I were in Chicago again, I would definitely come here again and try something new.

Yummy!!! Everything is good! The service is great, but you have to go early or late as the place is always packed with locals. There breakfasts are the best, but they also make some mean sandwiches. I love the pancakes, skillets and even the club sandwiches. The portions are large, so be ready to share to take home leftovers.

This is by far the best place to go for breakfast in the area. The food is amazing and they have a lot on the menu. It's always difficult to decide what to have. Their wildberry jam that comes with toast is so tasty. It is almost always crowded. If you go on a weekend for breakfast, you will probably have to wait at least a half hour, but it's worth it. It's less crowded if you go later though. Service is pretty good though. They're very diligent about refilling coffee. Reservations are generally a no, but I believe that if your party is large enough, they will take them on the weekends.

A very nice looking space with friendly and efficient staff. The menu selection was good, I opted for something simple. I ordered a bacon and cheddar omelet, pretty standard, but still good. The hash browns (I'm a connoisseur and long time hash brown fan) were good, if not spectacular. The pancakes were pretty much the same , good but not impressive , with the exception of real whipped butter for them. The chocolate chip pancakes looked impressive to me and seemed to be enjoyed by my companion. My order warrented a 3 star review, the place looked nice and the server was efficient and the menu selection diverse, so I'll give it 4 stars. A word of warning, there was almost an hour wait when I tried to go here on a Saturday morning, so plan a backup if you don't want to wait. My review is based on a Friday morning which had a much more managable crowd.

The only downside that I can give you about this place is that you need to get there at a descent hour or not really plan on rolling up in there and getting a seat right away. Now on the flip side to that I did go there at about 10:30 on a Saturday and didn't have to wait at all. So what everyone says is true "timing is everything." I had this amazing corned beef benny, something new and I was definitely excited about trying it, I think I got three bites cause everyone around me wanted to try it. My mom and aunt got the asparagus omelet both loved it. The atmosphere there is great the people are nice, service took a little while but the food is so good I really didn't even care. Try the Wildberry orange juice, and the Wildberry preserves you won't be disappointed. This is a five star restaurant by far you need to take your family there.

This is a very good place for breakfast. We went on a weekend morning (around 9 AM). It's a large place with several rooms. It has a lot of windows that give it a sunlit, airy feel. It was crowded, but we did not wait long to be seated (about 5 minutes). It has a wholesome feel to it and the crowd consisted of a mix of couples and families (lots of "sippee cups") with younger children. We each had an egg-white omelet with hash browns (though, I understand that fruit may be substituted for the hash browns). The hash browns were crispy and the egg white omelet was fluffy (but not pillow-like). Our breakfast included pancakes or toast (or bagel or English muffin). Portions were decent-sized and you might easily not have to eat until dinner after dining here for breakfast. The coffee was great. Service was efficient. Our order was taken promptly after we sat down and our server was attentive (checking with us a couple of times). I would go back.

This is the only alternative to the Walker Brothers in the burbs. This is a bold statement because they are what I measure the breakfast places to. The place is big and roomy, there are allot of windows and it's bright. The waiter staff is knowledgeable and nice. There are seasonal specials and all the great breakfast items that you'd want. In summer time we tend to sit outside.

Wow! I didn't expect the food to be as good as it was. It was fresh and organic which is something that I feel is needed in the suburbs. I like that the cafe is in the waiting area, because you will be waiting for a long time on the weekends! I had the Espagnola Omelet and it was so beautifully arranged and the flavors amazing. I am surprised the waitstaff is so precise with those big plates but they manage. The coffee was good and the OJ was fresh squeezed. We had a great server and he let us sit and chat even though the place was packed. Whenever I visit from out of town I used to wonder the the hype was about this place, now I know and I will make sure to visit every time I am in town! Also, the price was really reasonable, 3 people ate for 28 dollars!

It's pretty good. I'm not sure that it's the best place for breakfast... but I do like it a lot. I've never eaten lunch, so I can't tell anyone how it is.

My wife and I love this place, the food is always consistently delicious and fresh. But the service is even better and everything on the menu has to be tried. We can't help our selves and end up stoping by a couple times a week!

As I was doing laundry and contemplating my navel in my parents' basement, my brother in law called from next door (I know, apparently my sister is mentally disabled) wanting brunch. Having wanted to try this place, I was glad we ended up at Wildberry. There was a bit of a wait, which is apparently normal on a Sunday, but it was nice outside and you can grab a coffee from the coffee bar/bakery area to enjoy while waiting. Once we were seated, our server was quick to take our drink orders and soon I was slugging down my liquid crack of choice, tomato juice. All three of us chose the corned beef hash skillet which was delicious and made with freshly ground corned beef and some very tasty eggs. My accompanying English muffins were thick and lightly grilled. They were a perfect match for their berry preserves. Our food was brought to us swiftly and our waiter was friendly, though a little bit out of it. I can't wait to come back and try some other items.

This is my favorite place to get breakfast by far! Everything is good here, but be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes to be seated on the weekend. The wait is worth it!

I go here with my P's when I visit. The place is awesome, really! So many variations on the pancake, this place leaves IHOP spinning in it's tracks. The building is like a mansion and the servers always remember my parents name and stop by to say hi even when they are not waiting on us. I always judge a breakfast place on the quality of there Tomato juice and Wildberry has some damn good Tomato juice. I figure if they get quality juice all the other ingredients they use are just as fresh and tasty!

Jason P.

Awesome breakfast food served all day. I wish I lived closer to it so I could go more. So many different kinds of pancakes and french toast, it never gets old! Yes, I have ordered potato pancakes with a side of hash browns here and they were good too!

Took our Navy Sailor here twice for breakfast and they have great food and excellent service. Restaurant was so accommodating that I asked the manager to print out our boarding passes for the airlines for the next day and he did. Great restaurant and great food. Would definitley recommend to anyone.

Date of visit: 5/17/08 Rating: 5/5 Wildberry was a pleasant surprise...headed there with a medium-sized group for brunch on a Saturday late morning. The place was totally packed and we did have to wait about 20 minutes to get a table. No matter; we checked out the menu and watched CNN on the flat screen TV. The menu can be a little overwhelming, as it is really long! I stuck to the breakfast stuff--I can't comment on their lunch/salad selections. These people do breakfast and they do it WELL. Portions are quite large. You will not leave hungry. I enjoyed every bite, but I could not even begin to finish all the food. I had the fresca omelet (eggs with avocado, sun-dried tomatoes, and provolone) with chocolate chip pancakes (well, pancakes topped with chocolate chips) on the side and a side of bacon. (mmm) -Others at our table also ordered additional sides of corned beef hash and biscuits with sausage gravy. The biscuits were a little dense but I will say that the gravy was very tasty. I had never tried corned beef hash before--I will just say that I very much enjoyed what I tasted at Wildberry. -The omelet was one of the best I've had in a long time. It was very light and fluffy with big chunks of avocado and sun-dried tomatoes mixed in with provolone cheese. The cheese was maybe a tiny bit excessive BUT I think most people like that (I like a little less cheese, but I didn't specify that to them) so I wouldn't dock them for that. -The pancakes were warm, light and fluffy...delicious with the butter and syrup. The hash browns were OK--nothing spectacular, but certainly respectable. (I added ketchup and salt/pepper to mine.) The bacon was perfectly fried, no excessive grease hanging off. Thick cuts of meat, too. The coffee was also quite good, and they were great about refilling it promptly. Writing this review is making me really hungry. -Given that there were seven of us, the wait staff was incredibly efficient, remembered who all had what dish (impressive as the table was absolutely covered in food, every square inch) and was great at coming back, checking on us and giving us what we needed. The poor waitress was even about 6 or 7 months pregnant, but that didn't slow her down even one bit. Bottom line: Fantastic food, great service with a smile even on a packed Saturday morning. I will definitely be coming back when I come back home for a visit!

Good breakfast or lunch place. I've been there for both and the service and food were very good. The wait can get really long on the weekends so plan accordingly. Prices aren't the highest but they are not the lowest either. Good value.

OK, let me start off by saying that Wildberry is my absolute favorite restaurant in the world. Yes, you just read that sentence correctly. If I knew I was going to die, my last meal would be here. No other place makes me feel as comfortable and as satisfied as Wildberry. I not only try to eat here a minimum of once a week, I made it a regular occurrence of ordering take-out every Thursday afternoon between work and school. I would starve myself between 8am til 2pm, because I knew that at 2pm I would be enjoying the best food ever. I would get off the train from college downtown, call on my way and order and when I got there, my food was always ready to be consumed. Here are my favorites from this great establishment: Dutch Baby - Oven baked pancake that they claim takes 30 minutes, but I timed it once and it only took 18. This is my all-time favorite food ever. This is what I would eat before I die, and this is what I basically order every single time I come here. The hostess, who always takes my to-go order over the phone, knows this is my signature item and I always get it with a side of bananas and a side of strawberries. Imagine the finest tasting pancake, smothered in hot syrup, bananas, strawberries, and powdered sugar in every bite. That's what keeps me coming back. Oh, and it costs $6.95! Not only does this wonderful creation cost nothing, but it holds my entire appetite the whole day! Crepes - I have had almost all the flavors, from Taffy Apple (warm apples with caramel) to Nutella to simple Banana, each crepe is so good and I usually, depending on which flavor I get, pair it with my usual strawberry banana side combo. Pancakes - These rock too, and they have a specialty one every month. They give you 6 medium sized ones and they always arrive hot. You an guess what my favorite kind is (banana), but another I love are the July special ones called Jelly Donut. Try the Strawberry Cheesecake, Tiramisu, Black Cherry, or just plain, and I promise you will love every bite. Waffles - I have only ordered a waffle once, but it was the Wildberry Waffle, which came loaded with Blueberries, Blackberries, Raspberries, and Strawberries. And guess what I ordered a side of to make it the ultimate fruit waffle? Yup, a side of bananas. Coffee - They make their own, and I love the Vanilla Berry Latte. This place strives to be healthy too, so they automatically use skim milk in all of their drinks. Service - These servers are truly great people and they bust their butt every shift. They always smile and make sure everything is always the best. The front desk does a fantastic job of handling the insane weekend crowds, as well as always making sure the to-go orders are fully prepared and easily ready when the customer arrives to pay. Really I would write more about Wildberry but my hands are hurting. If you really do want to hear more, send me a message on this site and I will describe to you my undying love for everything they make. Their food is top notch and their prices are so insanely low that I feel like I'm ripping them off. Wildberry Pancakes and Cafe, thank you for always making me happy, and I want to let everyone know that I seriously contemplate ordering take-out or going to your restaurant every single day.

I love, love, love Wildberry!! They have the best eggs benedict that I have ever had plus super yummy hash browns. Their Wildberry pancakes, waffles, and crepes are smothered in, well, wild berries and are just awesome! I sometimes daydream about them... Service has always been super fast and friendly. GO HERE!

Syretta H.

Love this place...took my daughter to breakfast here on Good Friday (she was out of school and I was off work) and we both really enjoyed our meal. She had silver dollar pancakes with chocolate chips, I had pancakes with bananas, and we both had a side of Apple wood Smoked bacon...hmm, hmmm, good! The service is awesome, it was quick, the food was hot when it came and my server was great. I've been here before and I always have a great experience. My only gripe is that the waiting area can get really tight during the busy days (usually Saturday and Sunday morning). It's a family restaurant, so there are always kids everywhere (just a warning to the people who prefer not to dine where there are lots of children)....

Steve S.

This is the best place to eat breakfast in Lake County. They have the best omlettes ever. My personal favorite is the Espana, a spanish style omlette. The hashbrowns are excellent too. The quality of the food stands out, and the service is great. Blueberry pancakes are also a must have!!

Mike S.

We had a great breakfast recently. Even though the place is packed and it is difficult to find a parking spot, the waits are generally short. The Wildberry French toast was great. I've never had a bad meal here...Too bad it's not open for dinner!

Beth S.

I love this place for either breakfast or lunch. The food is awesome, they always have a variety of interesting specials, real ham off the bone...the list goes on and on. I'm more of an egg person so I can't comment on their pancakes, waffles, french toast, etc. but my husband says the're delicious. Sandwiches are awesome (they own a steakhouse as well, prime rib sandwich is great) and their salads are fresh and LOADED with goodies (request dressing on the side, though...they put a lot on there). My only complaint is that I wish less people knew about this place because the wait on the weekend can be pretty long!

Philip P.

This place is always packed during breakfast but the wait never seems too long. Service has always been exceptional and my wife and I love the little presentation details like the spoons placed on top of our coffee cups and the enormous plates that make your breakfast feel especially cared for. The serving sizes are perfect and we absolutely love the pancakes here. I generally stick to the standard eggs & toast with my breakfast and Wildberry always seems to make this even simple dish top notch!

The Wildberry is a place we have started to frequent for brunch when visiting my mom in the northern suburbs. It's got all the standard pancake house type menu items, but they have some creative items as well. I tried the "Tiramisu pancakes" which I expected to be sickeningly sweet (I couldn't resist though.) They were delicious. They also have some nice takes on standard Eggs Benedict, like the Chipotle Red Pepper Feta Benedict. My husband loves the nutella crepes. They have a nice sized children's menu, and our service has been excellent. There may be a wait on weekends but the have a coffee bar where you can get yummy coffee drinks while you wait. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend it!

jenna h.

Like everyone says, it is crowded, but we got there at 8:15am and only had to wait about 5 minutes for a table. I give it five stars because the food was excellent as was the price. Weekends are crowded with sailors from the nearby Naval Station on liberty, so definitely go early.

Tim M.

There are two things here that are simply the most incredible breakfast items I have ever eaten. First, the most amazing bacon; I have no idea where they get it but WOW this stuff is superb! Second is their banana bread french toast. Completely decadent but what a treat!

There is often a wait to be seated, but the breakfast is great. In fact my out of town guests always want to go back. The wait staff is also attentive. Enjoy!

I just don't get it. Maybe it is a Lake County thing (and a dearth of better options?) but on my second foray into this packed, large restaurant on a Sunday morning, nothing changed my opinion from the first time - a huge disappointment. I can say that the service is friendly and quick, but I can't even compliment the coffee. Average, totally average. On a Sunday morning before 9 A.M., it was crowded with a fifteen-minute wait for a table. So obviously some folks disagree with me, but then again - their options are fewer than in the city and maybe they just don't have a great standard of comparison. I had the classic eggs benedict, and did like the side of fresh fruit. As for the eggs benedict, lousy! First the English muffin was truly dreadful; even with the gloppy faux hollandaise sauce to smother it, it tasted awful. The Canadian bacon was ordinary and fairly tasteless. Only the eggs were done okay. So I will never return. Maybe I am ordering the wrong things, but there are so many better places - even in the 'burbs.

I love the food here. it is non-greasy and tastes so good ! They have a very good menu and their fresh fruit jucies are to die for ! I also love their berry preserve. I love the ambience. It is huge and has an outdoor patio too. People who live in the suburbs should definitely check it out. We drove an hour to get there but it was definitely worth it.

Oh this place. I miss it so much! Almost always packed because it's so good. The crepes are amazing! Actually, everything is. The skillets, pancakes, and hash browns are yum! Never had anything other than breakfast, but I'm sure that's good too.

Dominick N.

First time we went there it was absolute crap. It was a busy Sunday and the food was mediocre at best. Service was even worse. Second time was amazing. The food was fantastic. It was a Wednesday morning. We were seated promptly and our food came out in a timely manner. The server had a major attitude and a stick stuck up her rear. I wanted to punch her in the boob. Every time we asked her for something it seemed to be more of a chore for her then it did her doing her job.

The service was average, but it was really busy, so I won't complain! I got the turkey sandwich. The taste was good, but I expected a patty, so I was still disappointed (it was deli meat). Sweet potato fries were average. I would go for the regular fries. They're amazing. You can also ask for hash browns instead if you're feeling it. My friends got skillets, and they looked really good! I remember not liking it last time, but I will try it next time I go. One of my friends got the Mediterranean wrap. It looked okay, but my friend liked it!

My family and I took my mom to breakfast for her birthday, we arrived at 7 30 am ct and it was fairly busy. By the time we left at 9 there was a line out the door. I recommend you go early unless you mind waiting. Our server was just the best, very attentive, very friendly. The food was very good, and it was ready minutes after we ordered which was a shocker too! I will be coming here again. Lastly, my mom had a great breakfast. That wins me over. :)

If there is one place I miss most after moving from the area it is this. The food was always amazing. Always consistent with the quality. Their Butcher Block Scrambler is one of the best breakfast items I have ever eaten. Eggs were always nice and fluffy. Sausage had a great spice to them. The ham. Oh the ham. Always so tender and juicy. They also have some of the best pancakes. They're very light and almost taste like marshmallows. I never tried their specialty pancakes before but if their regular pancakes were that good. I would bet most of the others are good to. We would sometimes share a French fry. Which for a breakfast place you wouldn't really expect much from. They're actually really good! They have a soft inside but a crunchy outside. They also give you a pretty good amount. The only thing my wife says she didn't really enjoy were their biscuits and gravy. The staff is great. Even when the place is busy, which is usually always. They always keep their cool under so much chaos. The food would usually come out in a timely manner. If you're a first timer you should ready yourself for the wait sometimes. Almost everyone I've gone there was some sort of wait for a table. Believe me though, it's worth it. I have yet to find a breakfast place that even comes close to the awesomeness of Wildberries.

Girl's can be a bit complicated when it comes to ordering. It was a double date with my friends. My friend and I wanted to share something sweet and we also wanted to try everything. Good thing our server (David K.) was really nice & patient and explained everything to us. Our boyfriend's just rolled their eyes and said we made it so difficult. We ordered the slow roast brisket, chocolate chip pancake, berry bliss pancakes, corn beef hash with potatoes and their red velvet French toast. The slow roast brisket was really good, it melts in your mouth and it's got a lot of flavor. The corn beef hash was good too, but the shredded potatoes were not crispy. My favorite pancake was the berry bliss, it's got assorted berries and a special sauce on top to balance the taste and the pancakes was very moist. They gave us butter and syrup, but didn't really use it. Their pancakes are good enough that you don't need to put the syrup. Service was great, they refilled our drinks and offered if we needed anything.

Laura S.

Brought my friend's mom here for Mother's Day brunch on a Monday for vacation. She has been here before and said it was good. We were seated in this odd C shape table where you can't see each other, but meh, we were too hungry to talk anyways. FOOD: * Classic Eggs Benedict - The pork was the type that is cut from the pork meat (like spam-like). The eggs weren't runny, which was a problem for me. Every brunch place I go, I ALWAYS order the Eggs Benedict (see previous reviews) and I don't like YOLK unless it's runny. The runnier the better... the yolk... was COOKED!?!?! Whaaaaaaaaa NO!!! This is not cool. Yeah... it was meh * Pork - I ordered a side of pork which was huge and salty SERVICE: Standard AMBIANCE: Nice standard cafe PARKING: Tons free OVERALL: Meh... it was alright.

Mahvesh S.

This is my favorite place for breakfast in the Midwest. I really wish they would open up a restaurant in Milwaukee where I'm from. Their best item is the different variations of berry bliss. You can get berry bliss topping on pancakes, crepes or waffles. It's a delicious combination of berry sauce, creme anglais, and a berry flavored mascarpone cheese. I love it on waffles but you can't go wrong with any option. Their omelets are light, fluffy and delicious. Also, the servers are extremely attentive to your needs.

Delia S.

This place can get very busy and expect long waits on the weekend. I normally come here from breakfast and have yet to have anything bad off the menu. During the nice weather to avoid the long wait ask to sit outside. Will continue to come back here :)

Luna M.

My husband & I went to Wildberry when it first opened up & I recall our 1st experience being blah. For breakfast outings, we usually go to Walker Bros and periodically go to a couple of other spots. So one day, my husband & I decided to try Wildberry again. And this time, I fell in love. Their buttermilk pancakes beat any other breakfast place out there!!!!!! Go ahead & take my challenge. I just love the decor of the restaurant, almost like a ski resort. The staff is very nice & their seating areas are comfortable. Now, when my husband asks me where I want to go out for breakfast, I lean towards Wildberry.

Angela P.

We expected a wait on a Saturday morning. We were given a pager, quoted a 40 minute wait, so we went and sat outside. DO NOT SIT OUTSIDE. The pagers may or may not work. We had just hit the 40-minute mark and inquired about a longer wait, which is when we discovered our pager hadn't worked. The hostess seamlessly fixed the situation, and we were the next table seated. I had the Wildberry Waffle with fresh berries and mascarpone. I suppose I felt a little more responsible getting a waffle with berries, even if it was slathered in a vanilla glaze and berry mascarpone. I would definitely get this again, or try it as a crepe or pancake. Dominic P had the s'mores pancakes - boy were these good, but very rich, so you'll want to be damn sure that you want dessert for breakfast. I had a side of plump sausage links, which were good, but by no means necessary. Wildberry was definitely worth the wait, and I'd recommend it for breakfast or brunch.
(5)
Shammy S.

Every time I come here the food and service is always amazing. Staff is very attentive and polite. Food is always cooked to perfection. The wait to sit can be long especially on week ends about 40 minutes so prepare for that. Best breakfast place by far. Would recommend to everyone.

Christina S.

Remember how Sally likes to order in "When Harry Met Sally", high maintenance? Yeah, that's me, and really, I blame Wildberry for that. Options. They have a ton of them and are super accommodating. Yes, you're gonna be up charged up the you-know-what, but when I can get my food the way I like it (relatively guilt free without sacrificing taste), I'm totally okay with that; like in a Meg Ryan pounding on the table kind of way. Ok, maybe not, but close. ;) Wildberry serves breakfast and lunch and honestly, my tastes BW (before Wildberry) would have definitely generally preferred lunch items. I was not a breakfast person, but Wildberry changed that for me. AW, I hold all breakfast places to a pretty high standard, and most don't live up to my expectations. I don't know that I'd call their dishes inventive, really, but I feel they just know how to cook proper yummy food. I adore their skillets and Omelettes. Anything with chorizo here is a winner in my book. I'm a spicy girl, I love the heat, not that their chorizo is super spicy; it brings just the right amount of heat. The Mexicana skillet used to be my regular, but I now am a calorie counter and eat less meat than I used to (both tragic), so I tend to stay away from the skillets as it's kind of loaded with everything, including hash browns. Nowadays, I'm an egg white omelette fanatic. And here's where the options come in: egg beaters or egg whites; opt for only olive oil; I want the garden omelette but take out the asparagus and add broccoli instead, and I like tiny pieces; switch out my pancake/toast side to a single plain crepe, no hash browns please, fruit instead- and bring the fruit out first; but if I do get hash browns, please add onions, and make them extra crispy; how much cheese is in that omelette...? Ok, I want half that. And so on, and so on. Oh yes, people, I am a friggin nightmare. But as freakish as I get with my order, the servers never make me feel that way. They are courteous enough to talk about me behind closed doors, and I keep myself under the delusion that I am a truly delightful and quirky human. At peak times, you are definitely going to wait to be seated, sometimes an hour. That's not always something I'm willing to do, but most times if it's peak, it's 30 minutes on my experience here in Libertyville. (Don't get me started on the wait time and parking in Schaumburg. I. will. go. off. Horrid!) And at least while you wait you can enjoy a free coffee, or pay for whatever beverage at their coffee/tea/juice bar in the waiting room. Nice touch. But once you order, it's usually pretty fast delivery to table. They are a well-oiled machine. I do have to give a shout out to the Los Altos chorizo Benedicts my husband orders. This is an outstanding dish IMO. I want to eat all of his when he orders it and I don't do poached eggs (ew), but it is just that delicious. Also, I've now started adding the chipotle to my items. It's basically adobo sauce (spicy), and they give you a lot, at least they did my first time (you might consider my approach, annoyingly ask for half of the usual amount). This blew my mind. I actually did sound like Meg Ryan when I tasted it. Face it, you should just have what I'm having. ;)

Words fall short of the ability to describe the delicious palette of wonderful dishes crafted to tantalize both your eyes and taste buds here at Wildberry Cafe. I first fell in love with their downtown Chicago location and was delighted to find out Wildberry has 3 locations, with this one just minutes from Great Lakes Naval Station where my daughter's graduation from basic training occurred. The food and service are exemplary here. Even during a very busy time (Saturday midmorning), our server engaged us in a short conversation, yet the service did not feel slowed down by it and we never felt rushed. Over the last two days we enjoyed 5 different dishes between the 3 of us; The seasonal specials Loaded baked Potato omelet with Wildberry pancakes, Napa Valley Fig omelet with pumpkin pancakes and toasted pecan butter (no syrup necessary), Rustic Farm Egg Panini, Florence Benedict, and the Mexicana Skillet. Our one disappointment is that when we return home to the Baltimore area there are no restaurants that can hold a torch to the quality, flavor, and style of Wildberry's brunch style foods.

We have been to several Wildberry locations and they are all so amazing! The staff is magnificent - the welcome ambassador, Dani, and her staff work so hard to make everyone's visit special. Dani is the sunshine and no matter how busy it is she has time to smile and greet each guest! She makes that place so happy and welcoming, you fee like you are with family! The menu is diverse to fit all tastes while the food is consistently delicious! Our favorite item is the cinnamon roll pancakes and the Berry Bliss(c) pancakes! They have an amazing outdoor seating area beautiful in the warmer months. This place is so awesome!! Definitely worth the wait!

Great place for breakfast. If you like a little heat with your omelette you have to try the Espanola Omelette.... Chorizo and avocado and cilantro and onion and lots more. Outstanding. The only downside is this place is so popular if you don't get there early you will wait a long time. A long time.

First time here. Got the Butcher Block skillet, and it was great. Eggs cooked perfectly, lots of cheese. Berry Bliss pancakes are also fantastic! Worth the extra charge. Fast service too.

Oh super breakfast goodness! My son and I had a breakfast date here. I was excited to get some one on one time. He was excited for the bacon. We both got what we wanted. My kiddo had the pancakes -- which were a huge serving for a kid. I ordered the omelet. Thick, loads of veggies and cheesy goodness. We left satiated and happy. Really, this place just serves a seriously solid breakfast. A hit from our perspective.

We come almost every weekend for breakfast and it's usually very crowded, but always worth the wait. Everything I've ever tried has been amazing, especially the Cinnamon Roll pancakes...no syrup needed! The servers are outstanding and very attentive to your needs. That is why we keep coming back!!

The Resturant: Beautiful restaurant from the outside and in. Plenty of parking for a VERY busy restaurant. Inside, it has plenty of seating and has a coffee/juice bar near the waiting area (unsure of what else they may serve at this bar) which I found convenient and darling. The women's bathroom is clean and stocked, however small for a packed restaurant. Food: Always served beautifully. Each plate is visually appetizing! The menu has a great variety for both breakfast and lunch. My favorite is breakfast, I order it every time. Thus far, I have ordered the California Fig omelette twice and the Rustic Farm omelette on the ciabitta bread. Very good. My fiance ordered the burger and frys and said it was "okay". He wished he had ordered breakfast. Coffee is good. Atmosphere: Always busy here. Lots of waiters rushing by. Almost always running/bumping into one of them if you get up for any reason. Friendly but rushed staff. Comfortable seating in the booths. Prices: Though the food is good, I feel like the prices are moderate to high. The bill for two people (with tip, almost always comes out to 32-38 dollars. In Closing: I know I will be back for sure at some point. It's a pretty restaurant, the food is good, and overall it is an enjoyable experience. However, I can't help but feel like its overrated. I definitely will be trying out other restaurants before returning to this one.

I don't normally make it out to these parts, but the wife heard great things about Wildberry Cafe. We were getting over our hangovers from a wedding, and brunch was needed for a cure. We showed up to Wildberry, and noticed one of the largest parking lots for a restaurant. We were told there was going to be a 30 min wait, and were given one of those coaster thingies that light up and vibrate. I'll always think of Fudruckers when I get one of those. Anyhoo....we killed time by shopping at the super large ACE Hardware store next door. After 30 mins we showed up and only waited another 5 mins. Once seated we were met by a super friendly waitress that took our order. (only after my wife looked at the menu for 10 mins!...too many great options to choose from!) I ordered the Mexicana Skillet, which had chorizo, eggs, cilantro, avocado, and onions. It was really good! My wife ordered the eggs florentine. They liked them so much she didnt' have leftovers. The dishes had fresh ingredients, and the coffee was Intelligensia. I'd certainly look for another Wildberry close to a family member to get them to buy us brunch.

I love this place! The food is great, if the service were better if out five stars! I once found a hair in my pancakes and the server got so rude when I told her like I was making it up or I put it there....it was straight and blonde! The manager came and straightened it out but I didn't like the girls attitude. Anyway the food is still phenomenal and I love this place anyway!

I'm so psyched Wildberry has joined the downtown Chicago scene because Wildberry does everything well! I've been going to this Libertyville location for years. Packed as heck ALL the time, it should be evidence enough that it's got more than a few followers :)! The freshest fruit dress up their berry french toast! Sauce is just sweet enough and super light. Their corn beef hash skillet served with eggs any style and side of just about anything... is just right.The bed of potatoes that the skillets are served with are never saugy or too hard. Guaranteed to also like its crepes - not just the fruity kind but the savory ones. Applewood smoked bacon here is never burnt or underdone. Pancakes of all kinds are pretty popular here because they aren't just regular pancakes with stuff plopped on top of them. Right amount of stuff and "cake". Service is always 5 stars. Fresh squeezed juice is not the box kind. Yes, this place is busy but you'll never get the evil eye if you like to to actually enjoy your food and company. On to the Chicago location at Randolph!

The only negative thing about Wildberry is that it is only open for breakfast. Everything I have had here is amazing and I really recommend trying the Red Velvet french toast. It is simply mouth watering!

Yo. This is THE breakfast situation in the 'burbs. No lie. Bring your winter jeans, fools, because you're going to need em. The food is so delicious and the portion size is mammoth. Dieting while dining at Wildberry? No go, baby. No go. I stopped in for breakfast with my dad per his request. I definitely inherited my love of food from my old man, so I trust him when it comes to restaurant decisions in Libertyville. And true to form, he didn't steer us wrong. The wait can be a bit on the obnoxious side during peak weekend breakfast hours, but we arrived at 9:30am and only waited for about 10 minutes for a 2-top. The menu honestly doesn't throw anything super crazy at you. I didn't see anything I haven't seen before, so expect the classics like lots of pancakes, eggs, waffles, skillets and such. I'm usually an egg gal, so I decided to go with an omelet with mozzarella, tomato and onion. I like that you get hashbrowns and instead of toast, you can get pancakes. And even better yet is you can upgrade those pancakes for $1 to one of their specialty pancake options. Cranberry/walnut pancakes? You betcha! And honestly, everything tasted excellent. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the pancakes were light and fluffy. My dad especially loved his corned beef hash skillet, saying it's probably one of his favorite breakfasts ever. Should you find yourself wandering around the greater Libertyville area, don't hesitate to stop in. Wildberry is fantastic. Side note: My dad was certain he saw one of the Bears with his family during our visit. However, when questioned, he couldn't indicate which Bear it was, so I'm not buying it. But, you know, possible celebrity sightings!

This location is nice compared to the ones in the city since there isn't as long of a wait. A table for 5 took about 10-15 minutes. I ordered the Mexicana this time. It came with jalpenos, avocados, chorizo, and two eggs on top. I asked for them over medium and it came that way (yay!). The Mexicana was really good. The spices were tickling my taste buds and you can totally taste the "Mexico" in it. I would recommend this if you are not in the mood for a breakfast item. We got the pancakes on the side, and upgraded to the WB Berry Bliss. Their signature pancake style. Amazing as always! The service could have been better. I'm not sure if the waitress was new, but she seemed reluctant with our table. Nonetheless, Wildberry is great! Plenty of parking available!

Every time come here I am so impressed by the friendliness of the staff from host to waiter right down to the bus boy, who despite having several tables took a moment to chat about weather. I rarely give five stars to any business because it perfection is sometimes unattainable. Now the food. I have several breakfasts here since moving into the area. And can count on the skillets to be go to order, I am wanting to indulge in the other menu items like the Cinnamon brioche French toast just sounds delicious. Maybe for treat meal. They serve Intelligentsia Coffee and you can't go wrong with that. The price is average to above average Skillet and coffee will run $12-$14 plus tip. They are only open for breakfast and lunch but well worth getting up early for meals. It does get busy during the weekend so expect a wait. But it's well worth it. I stood outside for an hour to eat at Franks Diner in Kenosha. I would wait an hour for here. You can get a cup a coffee from the barista in the large lobby area. Enjoy!!!!

We had breakfast here while visiting our daughter at Great Lakes. The staff was friendly and attentive. They are busy on the weekends, so expect a 30 - 45 minutes wait. The food was worth the wait. The food was delicious. I will definitely go there when I return to the area. I would highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys breakfast foods.

Vincenzo C.

Be careful what time you go on Saturday/Sunday. After 9:00 am, you can count on a 30-60 minute wait (mostly 45 minutes). I have been there many times (not so much recently). Having said that, I would agree with some of the other writers. The decor is very nice and the menu appears to be upper end type ingredients. The food is good but I think Wildberry's reputation for fantastic food is a bit of a smoke screen. Nothing great, very good at best. Service can be slow - hit and (more) miss. Pricy for breakfast/lunch. Nothing to get excited about but not disappointing.

Shushu C.

One of the best brunch places ever. I could come here literally everyday. Nothing I had has ever been less than mouthwatering delicious. I would recommend this to anyone who's even remotely close to Chicago. A MUST. I want to bring this to New York..... On top of that, the waiters have only ever been sweet. Everyone was great so sometimes I tipped extra. They deserve it. Every experience has been awesome

Jacqueline N.

I LOVE WILDBERRY!!! I know the wait is very long here but I came late and skipped the wait as I joined my party for brunch :X But honestly I would wait here for the food any day! Everything looked absolutely delicious here. My friends got eggs, bacon and hashbrown with chocolate chip pancakes. Another got the Espanola omelette, I was able to try this and I did not really like it very much. It was very dry and the flavors did not sit well with me. Another friend got the prime rib eggs benedict with chipotle sauce. This was not the best, but our waiter was insistent on her trying it, so after she did, she politely expressed her dislike for the seasonal dish. He promptly apologized and get her the Florence Eggs Benedict that she wanted in the first place. Our server was so attentive and very prompt with everything For my dish, I got the Denver Skillet, which had Ham, Bell Peppers, & Onions. With two eggs sunny side up, this was the PERFECT combination for me. The hashbrowns were at the bottom with cheese and ham, peppers and onions. I also got a side of the Signature "Berry Bliss" Pancakes. I have to say these were the BEST pancakes I have ever had!! they were pancakes stuffed with blueberries & wildberry Mascarpone then topped with blackberries, strawberries and fruity vanilla cream sauce. It was divine. truly blissful. I could only finish half of everything (actually I finished all of my pancakes because they were just TOO GOOD). And it was so affordable and reasonable priced. i only paid about $12 for all of that and had a meal leftover for tomorrow to relive how good the food was too! Can't wait until my next brunch outing here!! :]

this the best place to eat in libertyville for breakfast. hands down. i get why there's a line - everywhere else sucks, no offense. yeah there's a huge line out the doh, because it's just that decent. luckily our wait was only 5 min. we sat outside and got some shine on our faces. i ordered the garden veg benny, which was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOD. the portabella mushroom acted like the english muff, and the chipotle hollandaise was fantastic. the veggies were fresh, well-seasoned and well-cooked. wheat toast on the side. fantastic. my friend who has celiac disease had a LOT to choose from, and many of the sections of the menu were gluten-free. i like that. she put all of that omelete and the honey cakes in her mouth, free of gluten and full of happiness. only thing, i didn't enjoy the iced decaf coffee i ordered while we were waiting. it was real watery. we'll all be back to eat things again i'm sure.

We don't come here often, but did today and tried the Los Altos Eggs Benedict. Although the muffin was dry and tough, the dish overall was delicious. When I mentioned the problem to our server, the manager showed up at our table with an apology and offering to provide another dish or anything to make it right. I declined the offer but told her that her concern for our satisfaction was much appreciated. With service and attention from management like that, I'll certainly be back!

Wildberry is such a great restaurant for breakfast. I have been searching for a place that offers a variety of options and finally found it without traveling to the city! There is a variety of omlets, pancakes, etc..! The fig, bacon, cheese omelet was amazing!! The portions are large, the service is quick and great!! I can't wait to bring my family back here again!!

Casandra F.

This place was AMAZING. My husband and I had always wanted to try this place because we had heard so many great things about it, but it completely exceeded our expectations! We ordered our food, got it in minutes, our water cups were never empty, and the food was AMAZING. I ordered the Fresca omelette which came with a side of hash browns, and I upgraded to the specialty "berry bliss" pancakes for $1.00 extra, and they were fantastic! My husband got the two egg meal, with a side of "berry bliss" pancakes, and an extra side of biscuits and gravy. The environment was so clean, the meals were priced well, and our service was great! Overall, our experience was flawless, and we will definitely be returning.

Jessica J.

I have a lot of great things to say about this place. From the amazing coffee bar (YUM - TURTLE MOCHA!) to the scrumptious specialty pancakes (you can substitute them instead of the regular that come with your omelettes!), Wildberry has earned a high return status from our family. The staff are so accommodating - the restaurant even offers gluten free pancakes. Honestly you can find something for anyone here. The wait staff are always super busy but mostly attentive and pleasant. The potatoes are the reason for 4 stars as they have been inconsistent and never quite right every time I've gone. But the other food is to die for and keeps us coming back for more! Sadly, everyone and their brother has figured this as the place to go now, so the wait time has gotten to be astronomical. They also do NOT offer call ahead seating on the weekend - this caused us to pass them up this morning after our out of town visitors were so excited to try it.

Jenn M.

I barely even want to give this restaurant one star. What a horrible experience. Being in the restaurant industry, I completely understand that Mothers Day is the busiest day of the year. Unfortunately, our food took over an hour to get to our table. When asking the server why the five tables that sat after us had received their food first the reply I got was "I put your food in first." Not even an apology. After waiting an hour, of course our food arrived and it was ice cold. When asked to speak to the manager he took our plates back to fix the error, while still waiting for the sides of pancakes. The manager brought out the food and the omelet my brother had was just reheated and not remade, and also now just burnt on the bottom. The pancakes came out about ten minutes later. I used to love this restaurant. What happened?
(1)
Jennifer C.

I always get the skillets here. They're so damn good. Mexicana is my favorite Loaded with stuff. It's impossible to finish the food in one sitting, and the idea of reheating eggs is kind of gross, so the leftovers go wasted :( I wish my stomach could fit more. ALWAYS get the wildberry orange juice! I don't know what the hell is in it, but it's different in an awesome way. Overall, food is great, prices are right, service is OK, wait time sucks (esp during weekend). It's worth it. I also wish they stayed open later...

Hanna L.

Wildberry Cafe is the place to be for breakfast/brunch! The portions are very generous and beverages are on point. Splitting a meal? No problem! They will split anything from a skillet to a salad (usually I split a salad and a skillet/omelet with my mom). My favorite is the corned beef hash skillet, eggs over medium, and I will usually get the toast lightly toasted so I can enjoy the homemade jam. Their benny is delicious too! Basically, everything about this place is fabulous except for the long wait during peak hours (which is usually worth it).

Ashley S.

Oh Wildberry...... I have to start by saying that Mike and I must have a sense for getting to this place just in the nick of time. We've gone a couple times recently(we got a gift card for xmas), and each time we get up to leave the line is out the door. We've always been seated immediately, so a round of applause to us I guess. The service was great! Very quick and the staff is always really friendly! The food here is soooooooo nummy!! At our most recent visit we decided since it was a new year that we were going to eat healthy.....man I wish I had gotten some flapjacks and bacon....just kidding. The egg white Denver omelet was amazing. The fruit plate was huge and the fruit was juicy and fresh. The coffee here is so so so so so good!!! It's my favorite coffee EVER! Just be sure you get there before the rush, because we all know how good breakfast food smells, and waiting is the last thing anyone wants....sitting, smelling, starving...NO GOOD!

Tara R.

My sister insisted we come eat here as soon as I came in from out of town. We were seated right away. I was delighted with the many options to choose from. I had to try the fresh OJ with the berry blend, it was tart and sweet. I also tried the white mocha coffee with whipped. If only I could get one everyday! Such a great cup of coffee. For my meal I had the French toast with the berry bliss. It was perfect. Sweet fresh berries with a berry cream in between.

En route for a shopping extravaganza, we decided to stop in for lunch on a weekday. At first, we were hesitant about the large group hanging out in the lobby. We made it in with no wait. Our server was super friendly and just her personality added to the homey-family atmosphere. My friend ordered the Espanola Omelette and I got the turkey burger. We chatted while caffeinating. My friend clutched onto her jumbo hazelnut latte like it was the last cup in the house. Our food arrived in no time and I was going bug-eyed over the portion sizes- in particular my friend's omelette. Needless to say, she couldn't finish. My burger was A-OK, a little on the bland side and needed a few splashes of hot sauce. For the area, I consider this a decent choice to brunch it up-- if not a staple for locals. Their increasing popularity and following has led Wildberry to open its doors to cityslickers and tourists alike at Millenium. Will I be amongst them once that happens? Perhaps.

David F.

Quite good, but a bit pricey. It has a very generic and franchises look and feel which does not do justice to its clever food. Intelligentsia coffee is clearly a winner. I went in fully caffeinated and still had three cups. The omelette (veggie) was abundant in size and delicious. The absolutely got the hash browns down perfectly. I was stunned at the size of the pancake platters ordered by my family. Their own signature jam is a must try.

On our last morning visiting with family- we all went to this place. Best breakfast we have had in quite some time. Don't even compare it to Ihop. Our service was outstanding and food was even better. I had the Rutherford omlet (has spinach and goat cheese along with a bunch of other awesome stuff), it was amazing. My 2 year old loves strawberries and they brought us out just a small plate of strawberries for him. We will be back next time we visit.

Julie S.

I've visited the Schaumburg location several times and had nothing but good experiences but today I went to the Libertyville location and the cheese on my eggs and my son's eggs were moldy. I alerted the server and he had a manager come over to talk to me. They re-cooked our food with cheese from a new bag, which was fine, but he didn't comp any of our meal. I was irritated by this, but he gave us a gift card for our "next visit". I couldn't understand why we couldn't use the card for this visit, but I was told the card wouldn't be activated for an hour... When it was activated, I realized why they didn't want me to activate it there... it was only for $10....!!! In my opinion, moldy cheese served to me is bad enough, but moldy cheese served to my 2 year old is worth a hell of a lot more than $10... Had they taken our meals off the check, the $10 would have been a nice consolation, but for that to be it, I'm disappointed in that level of customer service. Sad, but I likely won't be returning there... Shame on that manager.

Mary B.

Excellent gluten free menu! The wait staff is very accommodating to my "special needs", going as far as offering a side of fruit at no extra charge instead of toast or hash browns (normally it costs extra). Best gluten free pancakes I've ever had. I love their skillets without hash browns (see note below). Only once have I had an issue with my order and the manager made sure everything worked out in the end. WARNING! As someone with a gluten intolerance, I must warn others that their hash browns made me sick every time I eat them.

This is an all around excellent breakfast / brunch restaurant. If you're looking for something more upscale than a diner or chain restaurant yet casual, this is the place. If you're a hipster, be prepared to shed your elitist attitude for 1 hour and actually enjoy good food while looking beyond the suburbanites and middle aged decor. Come on, you can do it. Go, hipster, go! And for everyone (including hipsters), be prepared to wait 10-30 minutes for a table as they are always busy. Fortunately, they have a full coffee bar in the entry (and the coffee is definitely decent) which makes up for the wait. This is a great place for families, large groups or a morning date with your sweetie. I highly recommend the cinnamon apple french toast. Extremely sweet, but a-maze-ing. The staff has always been very pleasant and accommodating. The only comment I have is that the hostesses should follow more of a dress code (all black, aprons over outfits, or something like that). Normally most of them are dressed fine, but the last few times we visited a few had rather tight, skimpy outfits on that looked a little too trashy for this place (accentuating fat rolls and/or cellulite in the buns). Overall, it's definitely worth a trip, especially if you can go home and tell your friends that your hostesses boobs flop out on your pancake platter (which I have not yet heard of happening, but might if the dress code isn't implemented immediately).

We are breakfast/brunch people. We will do breakfast or brunch before we will go out for dinner. So to find a place with an inviting environment, great food and an original menu is a real treasure! Duck confit hash? Now there's something you don't see on other breakfast place menus. A Fresca Omelette with sun-dried tomatoes and avocado? Ditto! How about a fig omelette? I'm not even going to talk about their signature dish - the berry bliss pancakes except to say YUM! With Intelligentsia coffee to top it all off. All at about what you pay for a decent brunch anywhere. One word: *W*O*W*

Thomas K.

I received a Private Message, through a Yelp User account, from an individual who identified himself as Evan _____ (I withhold his last name), the General Manager of Wildberry, in which he expressed his regret for our experience and offered his assurance that the issues we noted were isolated incidences. He offered to mail a gift certificate, so we may try Wildberry again. I thanked Evan for his concern and generous offer, which I believe further affirmed what I initially noted about Wildberry Cafe's high service standard. I declined Evan's generously offered gift certificate to avoid even the vaguest suggestion of a conflict of interest. I also assured Evan that I would append my Review of Wildberry Cafe to acknowledge and document his concern and offer. (Fact is, I probably will try Wildberry Cafe again anyway, since I believe in second chances. Until then, however, my issuance of two stars will stand, since one of the two stars was issued for Wildberry Cafe's excellent customer service. However, I do look forward to an opportunity to dine there again, and to hopefully have an experience that would merit issuance of more stars.)

Busy. There was a 40 min wait. So we waited to see how good it is. And, it was good. A good solid breakfast joint. If we went back, I wouldn't wait again. A place like this would have to be "the best I ever ate" to wait that long for breakfast food. But, on an average day where we could just get a table, it's solid food at reasonable prices. I didn't realize it was a chain. I thought it was independently owned, so I was expecting the food to be better. But, hey, those places are far and few between.

I've been here twice since my last review. I got a a fig omelette the second time yelp.com/biz_photos/WZyhâ€¦ , which wasn't very good. Figs were cooked, and they would have been a lot better raw. My friend got the rocky mountain crepe, which was okay yelp.com/biz_photos/WZyhâ€¦ . Nothing special. I got the smoked chicken and apple club seasonal special the third time, which wasn't bad.

The most delicious sweet or savory mouth watering breakfast. Or choose both. Upgrade an omelette and add banana bread french toast. Don't even bother with the syrup. You don't need it. It's real banana bread!

Sydney H.

So you know from my reviews I don't give very many 5 stars. After looking for a reason the only thing I could think that could have lowered it would be the weather. When we first arrived they told us the wait would be 35 minutes however it was only 20. Kathy was our server and she was great as well as the entire staff. This place is managed well and the manager does a great job at hiring true talent. The food is great, the price is fair and the portions are huge. If I visit Great Lakes again I will be back. I decided not to hold the cold weather against them because it was warm inside. True customer service and experience.

I had a great experience with my sister and boyfriend at Wildberry today. I was having a little trouble deciding what to order because I wanted a skillet but with different ingredients than the ones that were listed on specific choices. Our waitress, Sarah, was very helpful in this matter. She informed me that I was able to create my own skillet. She was so attentive, and the meal came out very quickly. I enjoyed every last bite. I will be going back to Wildberry very soon!

"Woohoo! As good as it gets!" Wildberry is awesome. Even on busy Saturday mornings I have been seated promptly and received great service. If there is a wait, the coffee bar is conveniently located at the front of the restaurant so you can grab a drink while you wait. Everything my husband and I have ever ordered has been delicious, and their generous serving sizes mean I never leave hungry.

I was all too excited about eating here for brunch the other morning but left a little unsatisfied. The wait was fine as they had a nice Intelligentsia Coffee bar as you walk in so I could have my Caramel Machiato fix. The service was great and attentive even as it was extremely busy. The problem was the food... - Sausage undercooked - Eggs were uncooked and runny - Bacon was burnt - Hash browns were not seasoned and uncooked in the middle The Eggs Benedict was good as was my Chorizo Burrito but I chalk the unfinished food to the busy breakfast rush. Though this visit left me sad, I always give second chances...

You will hate this place if you are impatient because the wait is WAY TOO LONG. No reservations are accepted except on the weekdays and only for groups of 6 or more. So chances are you're going to have to wait. They try to appease you by offering complimentary coffee...but that doesn't help since I'm not a fan of that bitter brown liquid. However, the food is definitely worth it. The portions are humongous, prices are decent, and the service is pretty quick. I think I waited longer to be seated than the actual time it took my family to eat our food. Forget me nots: -Oreo S'mores pancakes: it's so delicious you won't be able to stop eating. My brother had to hide his plate from me so that he could finish his meal in peace. -Skillets were gigantic. I had the Mexicana while my mother ordered the Bacon, Mushroom and Onion. Honestly I couldn't tell the difference between the two. They are equally tasty, greasy, and large. -Skip the Fig and Walnut Multi-grain pancakes. This might be the healthiest in the pancake selection but definitely not the best. It's completely overshadowed by the Oreo S'mores Again, an emphasis on the portion sizes: we had enough leftovers the next day for a complete meal for 4. You definitely will be well fed here so come hungry.

I love breakfast and this is a special place. This is my first visit but it will not be my last. It was hard to choose from the many scrumptious looking items on the menu. I decided on the Napa Fig omelette, which was delicious. I paid the extra dollar for the Berry Bliss pancakes, which also were delicious. The presentation made the pancakes look too good to eat. The restaurant is a beautiful looking brick building with comfortable seating. While waiting you may enjoy a cup of coffee from the espresso bar. Service was wonderful.

I'm not quite sure why so many people are lined up outside of Wildberry Cafe on the weekends for breakfast. Sure, the french toast is good. But that's about it. I waited for over 30 minutes to try the tiramisu pancakes that everyone was raving about and was unimpressed. The pancakes didn't resemble tiramisu at all. Good thing we also ordered the berry french toast or the meal would have been a complete fail. The bacon and hash browns couldn't save the meal either. I would choose Walker Bros. over Wildberry any day. Heck, I would even go to Cracker Barrel for pancakes before I would eat the pancakes here. I will give Wildberry kudos for the speed of service though. Even though there were a lot of people waiting for tables, the line moved pretty quickly. And once we were seated, we were able to order and receive our food even faster.

Wow! Great breakfast for lunch! My family stopped in for a late lunch after Great America. We ordered the following: Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice (awesome!) Kids chocolate chip pancakes Kids smores pancakes Prime Rib French dip sandwich Apple wood Smoked bacon Hash Browns with Cheddar, onions and a side of sour cream All were fabulous and the breakfast items were similar to Walker Brothers which we also like but, I am giving Wildberry the edge because their hash browns were much better and the Prime Rib French dip was really awesome along with fries seasoned with Parmesan. It was an awesome late breakfast/lunch. The service was fantastic but, I will say we ate at almost 2pm so I imagine this place is packed in the morning. Even at 2pm they were busy. Driving in was difficult as their is currently construction on Milwaukee Avenue.

I came here with a large party (10+) and the service was excellent! They were able to accommodate separate checks for each of us (I called ahead to check on this, as well as make a reservation), and had one waitress for our party who had no problem managing all of us. The food was excellent, fresh, and hot when it came out. They are very busy, but I feel it is worth the wait because the food is so excellent!

Though you will almost always have to wait to get a table here, it is always worth it. Despite the fact that the lobby area is crowded to beyond a fire-hazard, once you sit down and order, your food will come up freaky fast (in a good way). I've never had a bad meal here; everything on the menu is literally mouthwateringly good. My favorite breakfast restaurant ever. I make sure to come here often.
(5)
Brianne C.

There was no wait and the service was as it should be, so that was a good start. I ordered the wildberry oj, and I was pleasantly surprised with the freshness, and the berry puree did not add an overwhelming sweetness. The meal itself was tasty, the only hang up was my not-so-fresh salsa. I love breakfast food, and am always so bummed if I only get the option of a hearty egg meal or sweet pancakes. With wildberry I got the best of both worlds with a skillet and the tiramisu pancakes. Yum is all I can say... not an emphatic yum, buy yum nonetheless.

I love the senior special for $5.45 - 2 pancakes, 2 eggs and choice of sausage or bacon. Get the sausage - it's great! I prefer the breakfasts over the lunches. Can get really noisy at peak times.

This place is so amazing, that I'm writing a review just 10 minutes after I left. We hit the Sunday crowd, there were probably 20 people waiting outside. The host said that there was a 45 minute wait, but patio seating was immediately available... So we opted for the great outdoors. Not too long after we for seated, our amazing server came and got our drink orders. He was very friendly and down-to-earth! I got the Espanola Omelet with a side of fruit. The fruit is the same as other restaurants, but the omelet was MAGNIFICENT! The portion is huge, enough to fill two people. The Espanola is an omelet mixed with onion, cilantro, chorizo, etc. It was airy and delightful! Each bite had soooo many great favors. The pancakes are crispy on the service, yet nice and warm in the inside. I normally don't enjoy pancakes, but I almost wolfed these down! Our server is probably the best in Chicago. Haha. He did such an awesome job to check up on us, and we never had to ask for a refill for the coffee... And we got about 5 refills. He was always quick in returning with something that we asked for. Amazing food, even better service, and low prices. This is a staple stop for my future IL trips :)

Food is outstanding but slightly more expensive than your typical neighborhood breakfast place. But well worth the extra cost. Fresh squeezed orange juice. Yum! My favorite is the Eggs Benedict.

Brande W.

I'd call this place mediocre, at best. I don't understand what all the rave is about. Three of us ate there and thought our food was "ok." We had the Banana Bread French Toast, the classic Eggs Benedict, and the Breakfast Burrito. The main issue I had was that it all tasted so bland, and unseasoned, like it was cooked by a very untrained chef. I get a better breakfast in the diner down the road, inside the gas station. No thank you. Won't be back.

If you're in the mood for something sweet and full of calories....stop reading this review and head over to Wildberry now!! I've been twice and had the Tiramisu pancakes and the Pumpkin pancakes. They were both great. The pumpkin one is seasonal, so try it before it's gone. Pancakes are an indulgence for me, but they have flavored butter too....how can I keep away!? I tried the latte along with my meal, which was okay, but it doesn't matter because the food was perfect!

Excellent food, excellent speedy service and nice decor! I love how they have specialty drinks and they have modern twists on traditional favorites. We have always had a good experience here and it's one of the few places I don't mind waiting for a table. Portions are huge, so if you don't have a big appetite sharing is highly recommended. You can really see why this place is so successful, I have zero complaints :)

Stacy Z.

Great breakfast joint, if a bit on the pricey side. This place is only open for breakfast and brunch, and pretty much always hopping. There are some really unique dishes on the menu and everything we have ordered has been wonderful. The portions are always huge and we've taken plenty of food home.

Patrice Y.

Service was excellent. Food was good. We had the Denver skillet & the Butchers Block skillet which had a bit too much cheese, otherwise very good. On a Sunday at 10:30am we waited 30 minutes for a table for 2. I recommend this facility.

Scott V.

This place is always jam packed. I have never been willing to wait the 45 minutes-1 hour it takes to get a seat on the weekends. We finally got the chance to dine here on a Friday morning and it was a full house, but no waiting. The food is good, but nothing that is really exceptional. It is standard breakfast food. Omelets, pancakes, etc. I had the Omelet on special with pancakes and hash browns, while it was good, it was not any better than some of the other local breakfast places. My rating of 3 stars is based mainly on the food. The food presentation was great. The food looked beautiful on the plate. The decor and service were also great. As has been said before, the parking is the worst part of this place. People drive like a**holes and fly into the limited spots available. The overall experience was good, not great.

Mike A.

I hate this place! Everything is so good and portions large enough to satisfy any appetite. The lines get long and you end up waiting for quite a while on the weekends, especially Sundays. I usually go for the Mexicana skillet or Venetian with a side of pancakes. I can not recall ever being disappointed here. So why do I hate it? I never eat this much for breakfast and the menu is vast and good that I over indulge. Service is a hit or miss depending on the server, but the front staff is very welcoming and the place has a great lively feel. In the area this is the top spot for breakfast.

Wildberry is a very cute place for brunch, but tends to be crowded on weekends. Service is good, but the last couple of times I've been there the waitress has been kind of flighty. I can't wait until summer so I can eat on their deck. Most of the breakfast items are pretty standard, but you can't go wrong with one of their skillets. I think their benedicts are only okay...but that may be from my lofty standards on Hollandaise sauce, thanks a lot Walker Brothers. Wildberry's Hollandaise sauce was too watery for me. Oh, and get the hazelnut coffee!

Melissa M.

This place is AWESOME!!! I love coming here with my family. The food has NEVER disappointed and they have THE BEST CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP AROUND!! They serve it Sunday's and it is delicious. I don't like the wait so much (1/2 hour on Sundays) but hey I can deal with it. The service is spot on.

Lisa K.

Needed breakfast before a meeting in the area and found this gem on yelp. Solid food, creative twists (my omelet had spinach, goat cheese, caramelized onions and bacon) and good "not too weak" coffee made this choice a winner! Accomodating to special requests as well! Walked by some delicious looking crepes on the way out.

David J.

Wow! Great breakfast spot and awesome lunch salads too. Freshly made salad dressings, all natural syrup for a delectable pancake and french toast offering. Its one of those places you visit where everything on the menu looks sooooo good that you want to try some of everything. Crepes, Red Velvet French toast, and all of the pancakes I sampled ( we had a large group) were excellent!

In town from southern California visiting my parents and went on Yelp to find a nice family-friendlybreakfast/brunch spot. I came upon Wildberry right away because of the great reviews and drove right over. I'm so glad I discovered Wildberry Cafe and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great local family-friendly breakfast/brunch place. The first thing you notice is the building itself, beautiful stonework with copper accents, large picture windows. Once inside you see the fireplace, stacked stone and the coffee bar/bakery display in the entryway. The interior is beautifully designed to make you feel like you're in your own model home. Our group of 10 was seated right away and started studying the menu. There is such a great selection and with 10 of us we nearly ordered a sample of everything! I was so glad I ordered the red velvet french toast, but it is really filling and worth sharing with someone. We also ordered the nutella crepes, biscuits & gravy, Southern eggs benedict, chipotle chicken salad, pancakes, hash browns, sausages, bacon, strawberry smoothie. I got to try a little bit of everything and can honestly say I liked everything I tasted. Service was great, ambience is great. I wish we had a breakfast place like this where we live in Southern California.

A little on the pricey side, but soooo worth it. Everything here is decadent. Sometimes overly so, for my taste, but there is something for everyone here. the Eggs Benedict is outrageous. The ham is thick and tasty and the eggs are always perfect. If you get a sweet coffee from the Batista (which is oh so handy while you wait) I would recommend asking them to use less pumps of the sweet stuff. Plus, you should know that coffee refills come free if you purchase one fancy pants beverage, and they will hook you up to go. The one in Libreville has a nice outside patio.

Have been going to this place for 8 years- since it opened! Absolutely love everything about it. The food always comes out quickly once you are seated, so it is always worth the wait on the weekends. (On week days there usually isn't a wait). The service is great, as well. The servers are always so attentive and give great recommendations. The fresh squeezed orange juice is a MUST. My personal favorite is the Napa Valley Fig Omelette, but also love the crepes and skillets! Woohooo!

I love this place. The Signature Wildberry Pancakes are probably the best pancakes i've ever had. Not comparable to Denny's, Ihop, etc in my opinion. These are just on a different level. The "Garden" sizzling skillet was also great...very fresh ingredients and much better then anything similar i've ever tried. I also tried the Tiramisu Pancakes, which are also excellent but just not as good as the Signature Pancake and had a little too much Chocolate in them for my liking. I'll stick to the Signature Pancakes and try out the different skillets next time i'm there for sure! The service was also very excellent, the waiter was always coming around to check on us and make sure that everything was good and that we didn't need anything else. Surprising, because we were there on a Saturday morning and this place was packed to the maximum with a 45-60 minute wait time. The wait is well worth it IMO, but if you really don't like waiting for good (I know - it was taunting standing there waiting while others dine on delicious breakfasts) this probably isn't the place for you. But if you don't mind a wait for a restaurant that offers a truly exquisite breakfast, you need to find yourself and Wildberry's.

Parker P.

The place and service has really changed since the last time we have eaten there...maybe because we a a clueless redhead server, or just the food was not up to par. They charge 1.50 for pure maple syrup that's not even warm anymore. The hollendise sauce I feel comes directly out of a can or dry mix, but has definitely changed. Asked for the hash browns to be cooked not burnt and on a separate plate, and they came burnt on top sitting in the sauce...again, I blame the server, as she should have caught this error. The poached eggs, were actually over done, but because of the wait for other items, I just ate them...pancakes are now average at best. Think we will give this place a rest for a year or so...Emily's right now is a better choice.

We went for breakfast yesterday at an established, well-known breakfast restaurant in Lincolnshire, and as we wound down the meal, we kept discussing Wildberry. First, thier pancakes are fluffy and delicious, even when reheated. Second, they don't cheap out on their eggs by putting milk and cream and thinners in there. If you order scrambled eggs, they will be scrambled EGGS. Third, the glass size for the beverages is ample. I ordered an orange juice yesterday at another place and they served it in something a little larger than a shot glass. Wildberry is fresh and the service is always fast, even when they have ten million people in the restaurant (which is pretty much every weekend). We drove by here on the way to the other breakfast place at 8:30 am, and there was already a line of people waiting. It's that good, folks. Breakfast is such an artform. It is not easy to get everyone's eggs/pancakes/french toast/meats to the table all hot and fresh at the same time. They have mastered this.

I often visit with my husband after yoga for brunch. The crepes are beyond delicious, and I love the varieties of pancake syrup! The staff have been great with all of our questions and my sons allergies. I love that they offer substitutions for him. My husband always orders the breakfast burrito and recommends it highly!

Showed up Sunday @ 12:30 with wife, daughter and 90 year old Mom. Line out the door. My wife went to ask about the wait. One hour was the answer. My wife said "thanks but its a little long for Mom, she's 90". Danielle, the hostess said "wait, I'll get you a table". Within 5 minutes we were seated. That's above the call! Our server Rigo was friendly and polite. This is a place we've been wanting to try for some time. I promise you, we won't be strangers. All our meals were great! Banana creme pie pancakes, Blackened chicken sandwich,Panini and Florence benedict were all perfect. Thanks for the great service Danielle and Rigo...Taylor too!

God, I hate this part of America... The part where your people build random strip malls in desolate emptyness surrounded by ploughed fields of nothingness. That is where this Wildberry is located - in a field in the middle of damn nowhere, just like everything else in this "neighbourhood" (can you even call it that? You can't walk to anything and there are no buses). Anyways... this Wildberry is really good if you're at this intersection of gas station/wildberry/starbucks/field for some reason. I always travel here with my regular sales guy, Jay. His job on our trips is twofold: 1. drive me around 2. make sure we eat at places I will like so I can perform in our meetings and his responsibilities don't change That's it. That's all he has to do and he is excellent at it. I love our working relationship. He knows what's up. We were staying in a hotel in a field across the street form a propane cylinder factory and a Wendy's (and nothing else for MILES) and drove by Wildberry when we got lost, the first time trying to find the place we were working at. He immediately pulled over and said "you will like this place." He knows me, so I was like "awesome." The good: - the waiter let me split everything to try every option - he let me have one pancake and one toast. One ham and one bacon. One half orange juice and one half coffee. It was exceptionally great customer service and flexibility. - the food was a lot better than I expected - it's very inexpensive - the portions are large - very clean, including clean restrooms - the booths can seat 20 people The bad: - the decor & ambiance was terrible (though it was very new and clean - it was just really... country-tasteless-tacky) - the booths are big enough to fit 20 people and there were only 2 of us so it was funny/weird - there is actually not a tonne of parking which is a trend for popular spots in Libertyville/Waukegan/wherever this is Overall, I would eat here again very happily. I give this two thumbs up given the situation (working at a gated compound down the road surrounded by empty fields... and a toll highway. OMG where am I!)

I don't know if I'd say that I thought the Wildberry CafÃ© menu was LYING, exactly. But certainly when I read the phrase "fluffy omelette", I'm not sure I took them entirely at their word. 85% of American breakfast spots include the word "fluffy" somewhere on their menu, typically adjacent to the word "pancake" or "omelette". It's an overused, meaningless descriptor. Or so I thought. Listen up, people! When the Wildberry CafÃ© menu describes their omelettes as "fluffy"... for the love of God, BELIEVE THEM. Those omelettes are fluffy as a long-haired kitten wearing a cotton ball coat and a top hat made from the pelt of the Downy Snuggle Bear. In fact, I didn't know it was possible for an omelette to be TOO fluffy, until I ordered a Wildberry CafÃ© "fluffy omelette" with egg whites. This was a mistake of my own doing. I essentially ate a plate of meringue, filled with spinach and cheese. This was my own fault for doubting their word. Fluffy omelettes indeed. Eat, enjoy, and believe.

This was my son's favorite place to eat while he was in School for the Navy at Naval Station Great Lakes. He would send us pictures every weekend of his new breakfast adventure. I picked him up from his duty station for Christmas break and I just had to try this. I ordered an omelet with hashbrowns. Wow what great flavors. The hashbrowns were crispy and fresh. The omelet was well seasoned and filled with meats and cheese. No skimping here. My son always does the Hash and one of their many waffle combinations. Kris say's the Hash is second to none! Big airy restaurant, lots of seating and very clean. Bright and well lit. Because of the numbers of tables and customers you do need to raise your voice a little to carry on a conversation and the tables are a little close for my liking but I tend to like my space.

It says online plus we were told on the phone that we can do call-ahead seating for parties of 6 or more. We had 9 people and called in our reservation hours in advance as we were told to do. When we arrived, they told us we had at least a 45 minute wait! We asked how can that be when we did the call-ahead and she told us oh sorry, someone should have told you it is not a guarantee. Well no one did tell us and it didn't say it online so how would we know?? I explained that this was their mistake and we have 5 hungry children and drove 30 minutes to get here so we would like to please be taken care of to which she replied with a major attitude, sorry nothing I can do. Then I asked to speak to the manager and she said he is busy. I said how can there not be anyone above you to speak to and she said well ok I will call him but it will be a while. By this point, we had enough and left. How unbelievably upsetting and annoying especially for my 4 year old who was hysterical about getting back in the car. They didn't even offer us anything for our trouble! They could care less! This was our first and last time there ever!! How unprofessional to mislead us about the call-ahead seating, not care at all how upset we were about a unbelievable 45 min wait after calling ahead, and then tell us the manager is busy! I wish there was less than one star!!

My Life is Yummy K.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and my family loooves to go out for breakfast on weekends. Wildberry is such a great place to go with my family. It is so kid friendly and it's easy to take my 2 month old here. Most kid friendly places have bad food, but that is not the case with Wildberry. The food is awesome and the prices are even better! I really enjoy the pancakes, french toast, and Belgian waffles here. The eggs are always cooked perfectly, just the way I like it. Just avoid going on Sunday mornings, the wait was over 1 hour so we ended up getting food to-go. FYI the food is even great if you get it to go. They put it in really sturdy containers that I like to use over and over at home. :)

Fresh, delicious food and friendly service. I love their modern twists on classics. Breakfast is outstanding. Soups and sandwiches are a cut above. My kids especially like the fruity pebble pancakes. My only complaint would be the wait at peak times, but it just goes to show that everyone in town knows a good thing when they find it.

This is a fantastic breakfast spot! Try the pancakes, the crepes, the bacon and the sausage! There are lots of seasonal specials too that are great to check out. I'm kind of surprised to see reviews for here that say things were undercooked! I never had that problem here. Best part about this place is the "coffee-while-you-wait" bar. What a nice touch.

I have driven by this place with out of town guests intending to stop at least five times. The wait was always too long and we went elsewhere. Last winter we finally managed to stop in when there was plenty of time to wait for a table. They got us drinks, menus, and our order really fast but I didn't feel rushed like I sometimes do at these places. I ordered a southwestern style omelette--it was fantastic! They pulled off the spicy omelette thing really well. I'll definitely go back, as long as the wait isn't too long.

Kristen A.

Meh. Personally, I feel that the only reason this place gets good reviews is because it's in Libertyville and there's really not much else to compare it to. I think that if your idea of good eating is the Cheesecake Factory (a nice enough setting, portions bordering on too much, extensive menu with no running theme), you'll really enjoy Wildberry Cafe.
(3)
Deb H.

I'm rounding up from what I think is a 4.5 star place. My favorite here is the fresca omelette with fresh basil, sun-dried tomato and cheese. It is usually perfect, but sometimes they use basil that has no flavor (which is why I would take .5). I love that they adjust things to my needs without a problem. They don't list it on the menu, but they will make you a 2 egg omelette instead of 3 and substitute fruit for the hash browns. Their wildberry juice is so good and fresh! I love coming here with my family on the weekends. Everyone's (except me) an early bird in my house, so we usually open the place without a wait at all! I also meet up with the girls here occasionally and it is always so relaxed and not rushed. The service is attentive and accurate (hope I didn't jinx it by saying that). Nice atmosphere too.

Karene P.

I've been to this place two times, both being very enjoyable. Your visit here to Wildberry starts off with of course the line which to me happens to be the only downside...but of course good things come to those who wait. So If you and your appetite can stomach the long lines, then I highly suggest that wait, for the food portions make up in dividends. I had on my first visit your typical breakfast, scramble eggs, bacon, sausage, and hash brown...but on top of that I had the strawberry Belgian waffles. My second visit I had the corn beef hash with again strawberry Belgian waffles again. Both meals were fresh and tasteful. Good thing about the long wait from early, is that I had built up such an appetite to eat, that I was able to scarf down all my food...I had no intentions of saving any for later. But of course food is only half the battle...the service on top of their delicious food was welcoming. Both waiters were punctual and keen on the refills to the point where I would literally turn away from my cup to talk with my friends, and look back to a glass filled to the brim. They definitely played a major role in keeping people happy while they anxiously wait for their food. Overall, Wildberry definitely deserves repeated visits. Good Food Good Service Good Atmosphere Good Job!

Parking is absolutely crap! Every time I've been here (7-8 times on the weekend), there are crazy nuts zooming around the lot looking for that "one" open spot. Watch your children, as these morons are certainly not! The last time I was there, some idiot physically threaten me and my wife because I somehow "stole" his parking spot--cops were called, stupidity... Food is decent, but nothing special compared against any of the other "gourmet" breakfast spots. Their seasonal specials are enjoyable (but not unique to Wildberry). The only food I would not recommend ordering is their bacon--it's terrible. In general, the restaurant is really NOT worth the limited parking hassles and wait times. I'd recommend taking your blood pressure medicine if you do decide to embark on this adventure. One last remark--I hate begging for a coffee refill--100% of the times I've been here, I've had to ask for a refill.

Tim J.

The food is as good as all the other reviews indicate. Kristen S. is on-point with the Cheesecake Factory comparison ... but if you are not offended by grown men in shorts, a few loud brats, and all the attendant lameness of weekend brunch in the burbs, you should make it out unscathed. On Sundays, try to beat the church crowd if you can: the line seemed to get ridiculous around 10am. Bonus: free (good) coffee while you wait.
(4)
Shanna K.

sO ... sO I do have to give credit to their plethora of options on their menu. They have everything from a VEGGIE OMELETTE (which is pretty decent) to a TIRAMISU pancake that is tasty too. THEY HAVE SOMETHING FOR EVERY DIET. PLUS their food doesn't seem to be cooked with mounds of oil or salt which gives you room to add salt if needed or sauce it up (better then having your food taste like the ocean or as if it was dipped in butter and oil). Service is quick, staff is very helpful and attentive, and the food comes out in a a timely manner.

Dear Rest of Yelp: 4.5 stars for this place? You're crazy. Wildberry is an ok brunch place. It's not like I'm eating their pancakes, bacon, or whatever and getting my socks blown off, then calling my friends and scheduling my next visit. To be fair their stuff is pretty good, definitely a step above Denny's and IHOP. But compared to the Egg Harbors or Le Peeps of the world, the WB is about equal. Once upon a time they were the only brunch game in town. On weekends the wait would be out the door (and maybe it still is) and their food was actually pretty good. But the past couple times I've been here, the food was just ok and I couldn't help but wonder if their glory days are behind them. Now, if other people wanted to go here I wouldn't complain. But if it's up to me I think I'd rather go somewhere else. The parking lot can also be fairly crowded. In conclusion, Wildberry is a fine establishment but nothing that special. In a couple years (or even months) I wouldn't be surprised if it became a mediocre establishment.

Just got back from breakfast and it was outstanding. Our waitress was very attentive and bubbly. Our meal was hot, cooked perfectly and was very tasty. There are very few places that make Eggs Benedict to my liking, but this is one of them. A perfect poached egg - Who knew! Best of all we had our food in about 10 minutes of sitting down. As some reviewers have noted there can be quite the line and parking can be difficult. To my wife and I it is well worth the wait. We went during the middle of Sunday brunch service (11:15 am) and there must have been a 100 cars in the parking lot. I kid you not the parking spills over into the parking of the two closed businesses next door. Still I was able to find a parking spot immediately and was seated only 35 minutes later. I have waited as long on a Sunday or holiday at other, smaller restaurants. To make the wait more enjoyable they have a Seattle's Best coffee / espresso bar with pastries in the waiting area. Finally, when you are put on the wait list you are given a menu and one of those "paging pucks" so that you won't miss the call for your party.

I ordered a burger with sweet potato fries (which were very cold) cold dried out fries= Turn off! Pancakes were really good

Very good but a bit overrated... its packed every single morning of the week. I waited almost 40 minutes just for breakfast but my banana pancakes were good!

W.O.W. Just wow. I haven't met a plate here yet that I haven't licked clean. Everything I try is amazing! I've tried Walker Brothers, Eggsperience, Egg Harbor and other such spots in the area and NOTHING compares to the deliciousness of Wildberry!!! I'll schlep out here any day to get my fix!

I been here several times. Nothing out of ordinary. Just the typical American breakfast in the middle of no where. Good service. Good food. Limited Parking. As said before, nothing spectacular.

As a father of a 3 and 1 year old, going out to eat isn't so much a treat as it is a chore, so it takes someplace wonderful to entice me to take the family out to eat. I can honestly say that Wildberry Cafe will bring us back again and again. I LOVE breakfast, and Wildberry certainly has lots of options, some unique, and some good old comfort. What they don't lack is portion size, and much like most American restaurants, they could scale back the size a bit. I had a fairly healthy egg white omelet for my meal, but next time back will not be so good to myself...gotta try the Banana Bread French Toast - yum! If you are looking for a great place for breakfast, alone or with the family, don't look further than Wildberry!

I live in California and was in the area for a naval graduation when we decided to come here for breakfast. The next time I come to the Chicago area I might rent a car and drive here just to eat those Wildberry Pancakes again. They were that good. The Oreo smores that another person at our table had were also amazing. So decadent. 5 stars all the way.

Suzy R.

Very good. The eggs Benedict was good but the pancakes were just okay. Overall, the service is fast and friendly. There is usually a 30 min wait but worth the wait. I come here whenever I have a chance :)

ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES to go to while I am in town. I have to say I go every trip. Wildberry (BLISS) pancakes are delicious. I have the eggs, sausage and other breakfast norms and they are good. Service is always pleasant and prompt. Is tough to go here on the weekends, its always packed and a wait, I would assume it would not be a pleasant wait when the weather is bad. Other than the crowds, I have no complaints, this place will remain my favorite breakfast spot in IL.

I'm not big on going out for breakfast; so I don't have a ton of restaurants to compare. I did find the service friendly and the Banana Bread French Toast delicious! My aunt introduced to me this place a number of years ago. I hosted my parents' 40th anniversary luncheon here a few years after that. (A great place for the Chicago relatives and Wisconsin relatives to meet in the middle!) My recent trip was just as consistent and good! This place is also very clean, which is high on my value scale!

Jim U.

Excellent breakfast restaurant. Very nice looking place on the outside and in. My wife had a veggie restaurant, my son and I had corned beef hash. Everything tasted excellent. We got there about 8:30am on a Saturday and got seated right away. But by 9:30am the place was full and had a wait. So the recommendations of getting here early are right on the nose.

Carolynne M.

OK so forget that this place is located in BFE Libertyville, the waitstaff had a rather bored, mechanical way about them, or the style of the building & interior was designed in the style of "Early Millenium McMansion" - I say to you NONE of this matters after you have a breakfast of the caliber of the one I had yesterday. Five words: Bacon Leek Fig Brie Omelette YES - FigBaconLeekBrieOmelette! Oh my god the words themselves are making me drool right now. This was no mere breakfast - it was a RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE. The sweetness of the fig, the saltiness of the bacon, the pungent silkiness of the brie, the snappy onion flavour of the leek - all melded together to make for a breakfast of simply epic proportions. You have never had breakfast until you have had this omelette. Sadly this omelette was offered as a special, but I seriously must urge Wildberry heavily to put this as a regular offering. I would absolutely drive to Libertyville for another taste of this dish again. Oh my yes.

Parking... some days there is none and you park in the grass towards the back...(because this place is good) Wait... On the weekends you could be waiting 15mins-hour due to USN recruits graduation and of course because this place is that good. Staff.. I love yes the bus boys some times are a show because they are crazy fast but they also just try to do their jobs so they will ask and reach over you to remove things (no reason to knock of stars) Food... My suggestion... get a wildberry orange juice don't let your self down if you are going for the first time do it write. Make sure what you order will also get your some wildberry jam :-D. For the quality of food you are going to get you will be surprised it at that price. I get two eggs subsitute the options for fruit and a biscuit and the wildberry orange juice all for 10 dollars. They use the best grade of eggs which i love. They use AA-grade eggs and have a full coffee bar to get you any treat to drink with your meal.

kim v.

WOW! The waffles here still have a place in my heart. I came here on 2 occasions while I was stationed at the near-by Naval Base, all I can say is Wildberry's is my favorite breakfast place ever. They need more locations, seriously.... I got the Espenola Omelettes and Belgian Waffles....simply amazing!

Sue F.

It's the best breakfast place in the area. But can use improvement. The food has been inconsistent. One time I had the egg white, sun-dried tomato , provolone omelet thing (sorry, can't recall the name of the dish) and thought it was the best egg white omelet I've had, next time it was too watery and under-cooked , not at all fluffy like the first time. Had the breakfast burrito once. It had the same issue as every restaurant. The insides are way too watery....runs the burrito. Coffee drinks are good. Kids items are great. However, they should have a child sized yogurt parfait. They continue to charge me for an adult portion and my kids can't finish it. Overall, the dishes are creative, more so than any breakfast place in the area. And they are also executed better than any place in the area, hence the 4 stars.

Love there food, service is not bad either. Only thing not happy about is the kid menu choice isn't that great.

Andrew V.

The Wildberry had nice ambience, good service, and good coffee. The people who greeted us were friendly, and the wait staff was responsive. For a breakfast place especially, this is really important. The food was so-so. I had two eggs over-easy, hash browns, bacon and pancakes. The eggs were perfect, the bacon was tasty. However, the hash browns AND the pancakes were underdone (when I flipped the pancakes over, they were almost white on the bottom). The hash browns were also a little under-spiced/bland for my taste. My wife had two eggs over easy, hash browns, sausage patties and english muffins. The sausage patties were pretty gross, and I don't recommend them. Her eggs were a bit underdone. They had really awesome whipped butter and "homemade" "wildberry" jam. In the immediate area, I still think Bennedict's in East Dundee is the best place for breakfast.

Dave Z.

I had banana bread french toast, which was good. The waiter, however, kept reaching over me to serve at our table of 8. He could have passed things down. Plus, he asked for my choice of sides, as if they came with the french toast.

I've been having wonderfully delicious breakfasts here since it opened and no other breakfast place comes even close! I absolutely love the Mexicana skillet which has chorizo and avocado in it and it's got a little bit of a spicy kick to it--it wakes up your taste buds in the morning. I also love the Wildberry Belgian waffles, love the Wildberry jam, you can buy a jar of it to take home. Fresh squeezed orange juice is actually fresh and fabulous. Service has always been good even when they're busy with a line of people out the door. Expect to wait weekend mornings but it is definitely worth the wait. Prices are very reasonable too. I feel confident recommending Wildberry to anyone--5 stars is not enough--love it, love it, love it!

Missy T.

Maybe I'm just spoiled by all the great places for brunch in the city of Chicago, but Wildberry is way over rated. The food is passable, let's just call it the Chili's of breakfast food. If you come on Easter be prepared to wait but at least you'll get to watch all the town folk eating Easter brunch in there fanciest blue jeans. I guess this place is great for lake county but a brunch spot with no mimosas or bloody's just doesn't cut it for this city girl.

Doug G.

We have avoided going here since we moved to LIbertyville only because the place always looks PACKED and the one time we got out of the car, the waiting list was 45 minutes. But today we took a flyer at about 10 a.m. on a Friday and gave it a shot. WOW, what a delight! The Caramel Apple Pecan French Toast was out of this world. The Butcher Block Skillet was first class. The coffee was good, the big glass of milk was ice cold and the service was spot-on. We are now sorry we didn't try it much sooner and we will definitely be back. Total bill was like $23 plus tip and we had leftovers.

Harish I.

Aaaaaaamazing veggie omelette. This place is the "perfect" brunch/breakfast place. Everything was so fresh and so tasty. Service is excellent. Coffee is great too. Though the menu is typical for any brunch place, the taste is far from it. Great recommendation for business visitors to libertyville to have an interesting breakfast or lunch.

Molly R.

I am not really a breakfast person at ALL, but when I am at Wildberry, that changes! One of my visits here,I ,too, made the mistake of ordering lunch. At first I requested a turkey burger, but was informed it would take 40 minutes. Ok, then! Forgot what I got in its place, but it was just "meh". Now, the good stuff at Wildberry: that would be all things pancake and crepe here! I HIGHLY suggest you try the Tiramisu pancakes. I don't know where else you could find such a thing- but they are out of this world, and I inhaled those like Kirstie Alley hiding from the paparazzi post drive-thru. And I'd do it all again. I also tried the potato latkes (ok, so they call them 'pancakes'. They're latkes!). They were perfect. PERFECT! I had ordered the same thing at Walker's once, and they just aren't in the same league. In fact, this place kicks Walker's tucchus in so many ways it's not even funny. If you're a devotee of Walker's and anywhere near Wildberry, you just might not be back after giving this place a try. Other huge plus: their service has always been superb, and you hardly ever wait for your food. The turkey burger that never was is another story , but at least they warned me!

Great food! My family and I were visiting for the Navy Boot Camp Graduation and we loved it so much we went here twice!

Maggie W.

Delicious. My husband is at Great Lakes right now, and based on the great reviews on here, we decided to try this place out last weekend when I was visiting. Sure enough, there was a crowd, but we expected that. The wait wasn't too bad - maybe 20 minutes (it was a Saturday around 10am). The service was great and the food was delicious! I am a very picky eater that early in the day, plus I'm not a fan of most breakfast food to begin with. I had the Mexican skillet and it was really yummy. Very fresh and you felt like you were eating real food (vs. the crap you get at chain breakfast places that shall remain nameless). Anyway, I'll be visiting my husband again in the future and we'll definitely be back. Also they serve Seattle's Best coffee which I love. Huge bonus.

Chad H.

Brunch is my favorite meal of the day, so it's no small claim when I say this is one of the best places to go to brunch in the entire country, let alone Illinois. The portions are huge and everything on the menu is incredibly tasty. In particular, I love their corned beef hash skillet and their omelets / scrambles. You also can get pancakes as a side dish instead of toast with other entrees, and I highly recommend that too, as their pancakes are incredible. They also have great hot chocolate. The only negative is that you'll have to wait a while to get a table on the weekends, but that's true with any good brunch place.
(5)
Ray A.

I love their menu because it takes breakfast to a slightly unorthodox and very interesting place. My favorite is the create your own omelette and the whole grain pancakes... Very delicious!!!! Yes, you'll wait a while to get seated, but it's worth the wait. Great for parties, groups and children, great breakfast drink options as well. The only thing I don't like that I guess the establishment can't help is the snobby-ass white people with enough money to buy the newest BMW, but not enough sense to discipline their bad ass kids when they spit food on the floor and sporadically cuss out loud!! That's the only thing that cost them the last star...

James R.

I'm honestly baffled by all the good reviews for this place. After hearing so much about it, I went there a few weekends ago to try it out. I ordered the blueberry pancakes. What I got were tough, chewy pancakes with powdered sugar and frozen blueberries sprinkled on the top. The fruit wasn't even fresh! In addition, it comes with no sides like eggs or sausage - that is all extra. The food wasn't much better than IHOP or Denny's. And the place is way too small for all the people that come. During winter you have to stand outside in the freezing cold for an hour before getting your subpar meal. Save your money and time and go to some place better. My personal recommendation is egg harbor cafe (located in Lincolnshire and Lake Forest).

This is a "Must try" type of restaurants. Whenever I visit Chicago area, I make sure to have a breakfast at this place. The menus is great, but the wild berry bliss pancakes are my favorite.

Great food, okay portion size, okay service, almost worth waiting 45 minutes just to sit down...almost. I will add that we only go here during their busy time. So maybe I'm being a bit to tough.

Jonna H.

Yet another review is likely not needed, haha. I'll add my 2 cents quickly. Expect it to be busy- anytime you go. I've only had breakfast but it's quite tasty. Nice thick cut bacon, good coffee drinks, great OJ, and the signature wild berry pancakes are to die for! Staff is friendly and attentive. They also clear tables and get them re seated very quickly. Definitely a very popular place to eat.

Ice F.

Hands down the best breakfast place I've been to! I wish I'd been able to come here often but with the few times I've been, the Los Altos Benedict never disappointed. Their pancakes are delicious, I'd recommend the chocolate chip. Expect long wait times, especially on the weekends. But you know it's well worth it when others have been waiting for 30-45 mins!

Good brunch spot. Solid joint long waits they serve their own jam which is just OK. They do have an impressive menu with a lot of unique choices. Fresh squeezed orange juice as well and an entire cafe of coffee choices.

I love coming here for an excellent breakfast meal. I always get stacks of pancakes. The sides are always amazing and some times I just debate going a la carte and ordering all sides. That would stack up quickly in price. Service at the table is always friendly and attentive.

Robin C.

Sunday lines can look intimidating but it's actually really fast, and it's worth the wait. Brisket hash and side of brioche French toast was delicious! Oh, and try the cinnamon pancakes!
(4)
Jennifer Q.

Love this place, everything tastes great. I would only complain that it's always crazy packed on weekends but that's how you know their food is great. Their cinnamon pancake is my favorite, tiramisu one was good also but didn't like the chocolate syrup on top. Staff is friendly, prices are decent. Good for children, families and groups of friends as well.
(5)
Michael V.

Great food in general. However the pancakes are absolutely amazing. The atmosphere of the place is also wonderful. Nice music and great decor. You'll especially notice the elegance of the building and its architecture. The prices are also more then reasonable. This place pretty much feels like a high end, classy breakfast place but definitely doesn't come at the price. The service is also phenomenal, came around and asked if everything was good, coffee/water refilled about 4 times with a to go coffee offered. Literally the best service I have ever experienced. Definitely recommended.

Denise B.

The service is excellent! The slow roast brisket hash and their berry bliss pancake is great. I would definitely get this again.

Tony P.

The portions are large and many dishes are very flavourful. I used to come here quite often. The only minus is how busy it is, especially on weekends. The parking is large but often is very crowdy. I guess it just proves the point that food is very good.

ChicagoItsMe C.

Their waffles are the best I have had! I usually get the Blueberry glazed waffles, they are light and fluffy and the blueberries are fresh. Their pancakes are awesome too and you can get the 'specialty' pancakes on the side with your breakfast entree for a small charge. Totally worth it. Their signature berry bliss I find it a little too sweet. Portions are large. Corned beef hash tastes okay (Walker Brothers is much better for corned beef hash, thick sliced bacon, and dutch pancake). Service is consistently good. It is a long wait during peak time. Go early before 9am or after go after 11am to get seated quickly.

Dan C.

You are in for a treat, when you go here, but go early! This place gets crowded fast, but if it does...just jog across the street and do a little shopping at Walgreens and then come back!

Chi N.

I personally prefer this to the one in the loop. More space with less hectic ambience. You'll have to wait an hour at least of you come after 10am during weekend, regardless though. Definitely try the Signature bliss berry pancake!
(5)
Lacey K.

My boyfriend has eaten here before and could probably live at this place. He swears by their cinnamon pancakes. I had the Florence Benedict and it was pretty good. I would definitely stick to the regular Benedict next time only because it was a lot of spinach for me for breakfast-still good though. The were busy so expect a wait. It's totally worth it if you wake up hungry.
(5)
Stephanie M.

I love the food here especially for breakfast. . Only thing I hate is the wait to be seated.. the line is usually out the door.. they need a new location so that the Libertyville one isn't always packed. . Servers are usually great..
(4)
Ryan B.

Food is amazing! Service is okay. Our waiter wouldn't look directly at us and was constantly looking around hyperactively. The signature berry pancake upgrade to the two egg whites with turkey sausage is a must. Yes, it's $1 more but worth all 100 pennies. Portion size is enough to share between two people. Berry crepe also delicious not as big of an entree (can't share). Garden veggie omelete is big enough to share and also comes with hash browns or fruit and toast. All under $10! Coffee: don't waste your time. Unless the recipes have changed it's watered down and better off with fingers at home. Overall great breakfast food at a reasonable price.

After much discussion on where to eat after my brother-in-law's graduation from basic training, we wanted to make sure we landed somewhere awesome. When my brother and his wife lived in Great Lakes years ago, they loved Wildberry and told us that we had to go. Thus, we happily obliged. We made it in a little before noon on Friday and the place was still pretty hoppin'. We only waited for about 15 minutes in the entrance way and it wasn't bad at all. Everyone was rather nice and communicated wait times super accurately. HUGE score for having a coffee bar at the front serving up Intelligentsia coffee. Grabbed an iced coffee whilst waiting and I was happy as a clam. We were seated at a giant booth. Easily enough seating for our group of six and we could have squeezed a few more butts in the seats if we needed to. Super cozy, too. Our server came over immediately and dropped of menus. This place is a pretty well-oiled machine. For food, we all ordered a crazy menagerie. I had to go with the Signature Berry Bliss French Toast. It was wonderful. Thick toasts, cream cheese-y filling, tons and tons of berries, and a few drizzles of berry reduction and syrup. It was intensely wonderful. Definitely not for the faint of heart or someone who just wants to halfway eat breakfast/lunch. It's a huge portion and I could only tackle about half of it. With a side of hashbrowns, it was a hugely fulfilling and filling meal. My wife had The Garden skillet. It was ok. Some of the veggies were a little less than palatable and had some odd textures. Nothing too special, but the presentation of each skillet I glanced at was gorgeous. My brother-in-law got a great burger which had a seriously amazing onion jam. I would eat that off of anything. There were a few other items amongst our group -- Prime Rib Onion Dip looked great as did the Bacon Havarti Burger. I'd head back in a heartbeat. It was a quantifiable success and the price for our group of 6 wasn't outlandish by any stretch. Great stuff.

Jumpin' junipers Batman, this place is overrated! (Batman TVshow trivia, go to wikipedia and see a complete list of crazy phrases starting with "holy" that Robin uttered on the old school television show. There are a lot and it will blow your mind. You could probably go over this list with your group as you wait forty-five minutes plus for a table.) Dudes, what is all the hype about. This place is grossly overrated and for what exactly? The fare is the stuff served at most brunch spots across the city and guess what suburbanites.. there isn't any wait! Well, unless you hit a "hot spot." For that gross amount of time you've been gnashing your teeth wondering what the heck is taking so long, you could make use of the lowered gas prices and take a short trip into the city! And for those willing to make that trip, there is a gas station located across the street. I don't implore anyone to run to Chicago for every meal but get to know your surroundings. There are many "mom and pop" diners in the burbs with a decent brunch menu that could challenge Wildberry's five star rating. Yes, places within a twenty minute drive that are as good. Unbeknownst to me the other day, I've been here more than once! How did I forget.. This is my woman's favorite suburban brunch so hopefully she doesn't read my commentary, because I HOPE; never to return. (If I'm forced to, I'll get a salad) On my most recent experience; the waiting time plus interaction with guest services and the random encounter with a good or semi-decent waiter is not worth the ninety minutes we put into waiting for a table. NOT. Then you add in the negligence of the kitchen in overcooked poached eggs. Really! Four orders of different eggs Benedict hit the table and not one of them had eggs that were prepared properly. All of them grossly overdone. That is one of my biggest gripes with breakfast places, so I sent mine back. I probably should have told them to redo everyone's order or at the very least, give everyone properly poached eggs. When my eggs came back, they replaced the entire entree and a manager was present asking if it were to my satisfaction. Since our other table ordered slower than we and had a different waitress, all of their eggs were prepared as ordered. The paragraph above I mentioned a 90 minute wait. Per their website and the host that answered the phone, "they could accommodate any size of group." But we had to put our name in at their host desk, received a "buzzer" and then waited. Once the entire group were present we could sit. The initial wait was fifty minutes, (all 15 of our group present) then our buzzer went off so I approached the hostess. We were told the tables were getting cleaned but no mention of how long that would take. Ya know.. it took another almost thirty minutes of waiting. In that time I inquired as to what was taking so long and received a lot of attitude I wasn't prepared for. I, like so many other reviewers here and in that waiting area haven't any clue how these people function so inappropriately when dealing with customers that wait patiently. They don't seem to follow any code. Normal exchange means to keep the customer in the know, so that they are aware that their needs are met.. right? A customer with more information and happy exchanges, is a happier customer. When the hostess finally called us for seating, we were told that we would be given two tables next to each other but separate. That isn't showing an ability to host any size group. We could have turned the tables sideways and sat together, but they wouldn't agree to it. Had we been told at the time of reservation that this is how they planned to seat us, we would have grabbed gyros sandwiches at any of the venues we passed on the drive up here and most definitely could have been done with the meal in as little as forty minutes. Moving on, as others have mentioned, it's all about the skillets. The eggs Benny wasn't all that. Keep your hopes low and you should be impressed. This place is better than Denny's or IHOP for breakfast but not in the running with any Chicago brunch hot spots. The one menu item that could satiate the eager-chicago-brunch-goer could be the "signature Berry bliss pancakes." It's got Mascarpone, some sort of berry coulis and pancake. Each table's cost was over a hundred dollars. Composed of entrees, a shared appetizer (Berry bliss cakes) and drinks. That's pricey. For over a hundo, I figure there should be a few mimosas and bloody's ordered, but there's no booze here! We might have been happier if booze was ingested before the meal arrived. Maybe..

Fantastic Breakfast Experience My wife and I came here a few years ago for a late breakfast. At that time we weren't too impressed so we hadn't made it back. We recently decided to try them again for an early breakfast. It ended up being a good decision on our part. The Food: A solid 4 stars. I ordered a Denver skillet with a side of buttermilk pancakes and bacon. I was very impressed with what I ordered. The skillet consisted of green pepper, onion, cheese, potatoes and two eggs. It was very tasty. Since I like buttermilk pancakes I decided to order a side of them. I am glad that I did because I now know where to get some good buttermilk pancakes for next time. They also serve Intelligentsia coffee which is a good thing. The Service: A sold 4 stars. The service was fantastic. The staff was very attentive and courteous.

Ravi R.

The menu is really good, and for a place that is only open for breakfast/brunch, they do a very nice job. Kids love it, probably because of the pancakes and waffles, but you can get those anywhere and yet Wildberry continues to be a favorite. Service is fast and excellent. Try the Belgian waffles with chocolate chip or the Espanola with extra JalapeÃ±o. This place gets a big thumbs up.

Went here on Father's Day morning. I called in advance to find out their reservation policy (they don't take them) & the manager was very helpful. We went super early and had an awesome breakfast. It is a nice place for the $ and you get a good amount of food. Our waiter was really professional and the restaurant was very clean. I regret not trying the french toast, but my breakfast panini was awesome. If you live in the area I would recommend it.
(5)
Brenda M.

Awesome food, good service. I only wish there were more decent breakfast/brunch competitors in the area because the wait is crazy long on the weekend. So, if you do go on the weekend, make sure to get there before 8:00 a.m. so you are seated right away.

Came for breakfast, parking lot was packed but we still got a table in about 10 minutes. Waitress was very efficient. Biscuits and gravy were very good. Multi grain pancakes were good too. Breakfast for two with coffee and latte plus tip 30$

Tammy S.

The place is huge and clean. It was busy but we were seated right away. Good menu. The breakfast was served hot and fresh and quickly. The bacon is thick cut and yummy. I wanted my eggs more well done because I can't stand funny scrambled eggs. They came a little too under cooked so I only ate part of them but the portion was more like 3 eggs instead of 2 so it was fine. The bacon and hash browns were cooked to my direction. The only other criticism is we asked for extra butter and it took them a while to bring it. It was good but nothing special. Everyone was very friendly though. I would only give it 4 stars.

Trinity N.

Came Saturday morning and the wait was around 30-45 minutes - great! Service is a little slow but the restaurant was extremely busy so understandable . I ordered two kids meal- the wild berry pancake and French toast . My friends got the classic Benedict and Venetian skillet - both were alright . The first time the egg Benedict came out , the egg was hard boiled and not runny at all. We told the waitress and she was super accommodating! They remade the egg Benedict and even gave us a free gift card for our next visit . The Venetian skillet was a little flavorless but with a little cholula it was better . The pancake and French toast were delicious though. One of the best pancakes I've eaten . Overall , great place and we will be returning .

Kevin N.

This place is so popular because it serves breakfast in the top of its class for the area. I'm not put off by the crowds waiting on Sunday morning with their buzzers in hand. They will typically spill out of the large foyer and onto the benches outside of the restaurant. That's fine because they brew fresh Intelligentsia coffee to serve their waiting guests at no charge. If you want an espresso based beverage, you can pick something up in the vestibule here as well. I've never had to wait more than 30 minutes for a table, even at their busiest. Specialty omelettes and pancakes are my favorite. They offer traditional and adventurous items on their menu. Of the omelettes, I really like the fresca with sun-dried tomatoes, provolone, fresh basil & avocado; and the Napa Valley fig with scallions, apple bacon & havarti. All of these come with fresh fruit or hash browns and toast or pancakes. For $1 more you can upgrade your pancakes to their specialty pancakes like the absolutely delicious signature Berry Bliss pancakes or their healthier fig and walnut multigrain pancakes. There are even more decadent choices like Orea S'mores, cranberry pecan, tiramisu or even gluten free honeycakes. The Berry Bliss pancakes are so good: blueberries stuffed with berry mascarpone and topped with blackberries, strawberries, creme anglaise & blackberry coulis. Service is very efficient and fast. They run this place like clockwork to turn the tables but not make you feel rushed. The dining room tends to be crowded but you can sit around a fireplace on one side or have a cozier, more private booth on the other. It's no wonder this place has expanded to multiple locations. They've completely figured out how to please their customers.

First visit to this very pleasant cafe. Spotted it on our way to the VA Hospital, and the full parking lot inspired our return for a late lunch. The chicken salad was tasty, but the strawberry bread was outstanding! The Cornbeef Hash Skillet was enough for 3 or 4 people and will be enjoyed for supper as well. Our server was attentive and patient even though we arrived just before closing. If we are ever again in this area, we will definitely remember this place and return to try the pancakes (which looked scrumptious on another guest's plate!)

My husband and i came here for the first time just to see what it was all about. Right away we were blown away by the excellent service we received from Luis Diaz. It being our first visit, he was very patient with us and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. The fresh juices were delicious and the food came out hot and fast! Not once did we feel rushed at all and we were able to sit back and enjoy the atmosphere and the wonderful food. We ordered a bunch of different items so we could try a little of everything and absolutely everything that came to our table was perfectly cooked and presented in a way that just made you want to dig in! Pretty sure this is our new favorite spot! Definitely recommend this place, so worth it!

Since I graduated boot camp here in 05' and came back in 07' for school until now as an RDC in 14' I have loved coming here on the weekends for breakfast. You should try the berry bliss pancakes with their large variety of omelets. Fresh squeeze orange juice with a side order of their thick sliced applewood bacon and you leave more than stuffed. Gets busy around 9 and the wait can get long as 30 mins. And with that many people trying to eat getting here early to get your parking spot should be top of your agenda.

Always love Wildberry. Yesterday we went for lunch and our server was friendly and fast, and he food was great. The food is always consistently good so I like knowing that I'm going to have a good meal every time I go.

We came in on a Saturday for a very late breakfast. Seated very fast, and it was pretty slow by the time we came in. I got an egg skillet and my boyfriend ordered eggs benedict. I was happy with my dish, but my boyfriend's eggs benedict was a wanna-be eggs benedict. The egg wasn't really "pouched" and the piece of ham that was on top was giant, not even appetizing. Oh and the portions are huge, I highly recommend sharing a dish. The service is very fast and very friendly, but the chairs are extremely uncomfortable. They sink in as you sit, and I tried out a few chairs before realizing all of them are terrible. The booth is better, but still very stiff. This is a good option for a last minute breakfast when you don't have food at home, but I won't be dying to come here every weekend.

I really like the menu here.. Lots of options for breakfast and lunch. A cozy atmosphere with the fire going when it's cold outside. Good service and plenty of seating. It does get crowded on weekends and around the lunch rush during the week but they can usually seat you right away. Nice little brunch spot.

Jenny K.

One of my most favorite breakfast/brunch places! Service is always great and the food never disappoints. Their wildberry juice is A MUST and there selection is huge. It almost reminds me of Cheesecake factory because sometimes it can get overwhelming. I'm a huge benedict person, so I always end up getting a benedict, but you really can't go wrong with any of the other options. Will always recommend wildberry to anyone who loves breakfast :)

I had a vegetarian skillet with a special pancake (advert and lemon). Boyfriend had a similar dish but with chorizo. We both loved our meals! It gets very busy and we had to wait about 45 minutes on a Saturday morning, but to try it once was worth it. I want to try more of those awesome signature pancakes :-)

This place is best breakfast place around in my book. I've had a few things but I always resort back to the Southern Benedict. It is godly!! Everyone is always very courteous, the place is always clean, and the hostess' are always extremely easy on the eyes. Id give this place a 5 but we have had ordering issues in the past.

Maria B.

Tasty breakfast for people who don't mind waiting. This place is busy on weekends. The portions are large, especially if you order salads. Try their signature crepes with creamy filling. We went there three or four times, every time with a slight hangover, and still were able to enjoy the visit. One time we had our breakfast on the patio, surrounded with bees, and the staff warned us about the situation, but it wasn't that bad. We even brought few bees home with in our to-go boxes. So, as you see, nothing will stop us from eating at Wild Berry. Go try and let me know. Btw, if you are eating with bees, eat slowly with as little movement as possible. They will leave you alone eventually.

My favorite breakfast place for years. Any variation of their pancakes are absolutely amazing. I used to go to the one downtown and when i moved out to the burbs I was pumped it was here as well. My wife has never complained about any one of her meals which is nothing short of a miracle if you know what i mean!!

Sigh. I have such a love-dislike relationship with this place. First, the good: - The food is stellar. I've never had the lunch items because the breakfast is too amazing to pass up - their skillets are amazing and more food than anyone could eat in one sitting. - The staff is pretty friendly. I've felt like they could be more hospitable at times but then again, I like to order and get out, not have my meal be an hour long (I'm almost always with my toddler!) - The food comes out quick & hot. Next, the bad: - Almost everything is an upcharge. I generally order my skillets with the upgraded nutella crepe VS standard pancakes. I expect the surcharge, as I can read, but it amazes me how much of an upcharge it is ESPECIALLY if you want to include strawberries or another fruit. Also, their mexican skillet (amazing) doesn't come with sour cream - another upcharge. Anything with jalapenos, should come with sour cream. - Parking is a mess. I don't know what these reviews saying there's plenty of it for; it's almost always a couple circles around the building and/or stalking people. Perhaps after peak breakfast hours, both weekend and weekday, it's better but ugh. - The prices - even without upcharges on things - are pretty high for the food. This isn't organic fare nor is the syrup you get real maple syrup so I don't know why they charge what they do... clearly it works for them because it's always packed. Overall, I was stoked to stumble upon this place when I moved here but I won't miss the budget-busting it does when I want a crepe now that I am moving again.

My parents stopped in for breakfast on a whim the day after Christmas, and I'm so very glad that we made a last minute decision to do so! This place has become my favorite breakfast place of all time. Pros: - The service was *EXCELLENT*!! I don't think we have ever had such a pleasant dining experience. Absolutely every employee we interacted with was polite, friendly, cheerful, and attentive. Our server probably came to check on us at least ten times during our stay. (Ask for Christine!! She is awesome!!) - The food was likewise excellent and arrived very quickly! We arrived before the breakfast rush, so that seemed to help things. But we were shocked by how quickly our food came and equally impressed by how good it was! - If you have food allergies, this is a great place to go! They have THE BEST gluten free pancakes I've ever had. I hardly could tell that they were gluten free. And that's saying something. Very yummy! - They serve Intelligentsia coffee. Need I say more? - The orange juice was obviously freshly squeezed. You could tell it wasn't from a bottle! Cons: - I honestly can't think of any. Overall, we were highly impressed with this location and can't wait to go back!

If the lobby is full of people and they still quote you a 20-25 minute wait time, TRUST. I don't know how they do it, but wait it out. It'll be worth it. I've waited 2 hours for food less enticing and abundant. The place is big and looks like a mansion from the outside, and even on a Friday morning, it was packed! For good reason :) First off, keep in mind that the portions here are HUGE. Don't let those pictures fool you because you definitely get your money's worth. You will leave full. I had the 2 egg whites ($1 extra), with turkey bacon (came with 3 pieces), hash browns, and a side of berry bliss pancakes ($1 extra over the regular pancakes). Those upgrades--all worth it. The eggs were plenty, the turkey bacon was actually crispy and flavorful, and likewise with the hash browns, they were actually well-seasoned and crunchy. Perfect. The berry bliss pancake was also sweet but not too sweet and the fruits were all fresh and none were sour. Ugh. So worth the extra buck. If you like peppermint mochas from Starbucks, order the mint mocha and you will not be disappointed. This thing was delicious. Tip: if you order a coffee from the barista out front, you can opt for a smaller size and get it in a to-go cup so you can run off with it after your meal is over. Otherwise, you'll get a mug during sit-down. I tried the boyfriend's white chocolate caramel mocha and if you've got a major sweet tooth, you'll love it. If not, be forewarned.. that thing is rich! Boyfriend had the Los Altos benedict, which was incredibly full-flavored. Not your typical eggs benedict, but he loved it regardless. You can really taste the mexican seasonings in the chorizo. Yum. Others at our table had the berry bliss waffle, which (surprise!) was also massive and delicious. Corned beef hash also received praise at the table, so you probably can't go wrong with that either. Service was so incredibly friendly, which was greatly appreciated after a long night of flying and little-to-no sleep. Such a solid breakfast place!

Let's be honest here. This area of Illinois isn't all that exciting. Grabbing the menu at Wildberry to see what amazing delicacies await could be the most exhilirating experience you'll get. Everything they serve is absolutely wonderful, and they give out huge portions as well, so you'll be able to continue drooling at home. However. This place does become absolutely packed on the weekends if you get there around brunch time. I recommend coming as early as possible to get a seat without having to wait for at least half an hour. Definitely can't go wrong at Wildberry.

Mika M.

If you like sweet breakfasts wild berry is the place for you. This restaurant provides plenty of options that anyone would enjoy, including gluten free items! Their eggs are delicious and their pancakes, although not too fluffy, still pack plenty of flavor, especially if you get their specialty pancakes such as Oreo s'more, tiramisu, and wildberry bliss. The corn beef hash is amazing, possibly one of the best I've ever tasted! I would highly recommend getting that you will not be disappointed. The staff is friendly and inviting but be prepared for a wait. Also while waiting they have a little cafe where you can order coffee, smoothies etc. If you like small portions is suggest sharing because they are LARGE portions and you get filled up quite fast. All in all this is a great find, and the best breakfast eatery in libertyville. It is great for big parties and is quite spacious. Definitely would suggest it for a delicious family and friend brunch!

Syd J.

Honestly, we ate here like 3 weeks ago and I can't get this place out of my mind. The best breakfast dining experience I have had. I had the goat cheese bacon omelet! Mm mmm mm! The building is beautiful. I definitely recommend this place, but it is always so busy... Only downfall. But it is so great who wouldn't want to go eat breakfast here.
(5)
Steve S.

The food is great here and the service is terrific. However I cannot justify spending $13.00 for an omelette. They have raised their prices which makes the other breakfast places in the area more attractive for me and my family. There are many other restaurants in this area that can make great pancakes and eggs for a lot less. Sorry Wildberry's.....I miss your wonderful food.

Decent pancake house. I was hoping for more. It felt a bit dirty (simply not clean). Service isn't bad but not great. The truth is its 'eh'. Good place, but for what you get, a bit pricey. I'd prefer Walker Bros if I have the time to travel. They are cleaner and better value.

Been trying to make it over for months. Finally get here and i was far from dissappointed. The menu was large but organized and the staff was quick once we placed our drink order. The specialty pancakes and the special french toast can't be recommended enough! Overall yummy! I plan on bringing others next time.

Evie H.

Absolutely insanely delicious. I had heard great things about brunch here so when my friends came out from California for a visit, I had to bring them here. We arrived around 11am on a Friday and there was no wait. Looking at the menu, we had the hardest time deciding what to order but in the end we got the Colorado omelet with mozzarella cheese, the Florence Benedict, French toast with strawberries and glaze, and the signature Berry Bliss Pancakes (see picture). Everything was SO delicious. No joke. The three of us shared everything and managed to wolf down the entire table. Now I understand why Wildberry was voted the best pancakes in Chicago. They were so fluffy and soft and airy. I couldn't stop eating it! The french toast was so amazing as well. I loved how the strawberry glaze actually tasted like strawberry unlike other places where it tastes more sugary instead. Our omelet and eggs benedict were delicious too. The combination of spinach, bacon, and hollandaise? SO GOOD. Awesome hash browns too - not oily at all and perfectly crispy on top. The restaurant was cozy and we loved the pictures of fresh fruits posted on the walls. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate about coming back. In fact, I foresee myself back again soon :)

The corned beef Benny is my fave here. The pancakes are fluffy and delicious. Servers are very attentive. Atmosphere is casual, perfect for those who work pm shifts and want to grab breakfast before going home. Can accommodate large parties just need to call a few days ahead.

Food is GREAT and the service is GREAT! They make you feel welcomed when you stop by for breakfast, brunch or lunch. On the weekends around 11:30am, the wait time is about 40 some mins if you are lucky... but the food makes the wait worthwhile :) Def recommend the belgium waffles with strawberries!! And sweet potato fries!

WOW. Just wow. Best omelette EVER. I had the Espanola, and the chorizo flavor and the fresh veggies really made it delicious. The pancakes are amazing too. As was the crunchy banana berry french toast. The coffee was excellent. The choices were almost overwhelming. Overwhelmingly amazing!! The service was excellent as well... Never an empty coffee cup. So much food, so many flavors, and I am so glad to have tried this place out. I hope to be in the neighborhood again, because it could easily be my favorite breakfast place ever!

I feel like I'm never super impressed by this place. The food is just alright, and the prices are more than I'd like to pay for what it is. I recently came here on Easter and throughout the meal I kept thinking "damn I should have just gone to McDonalds." I got the Venetian skillet with a side (one slice) of the banana bread french toast. The banana bread french toast is the ONLY reason I'm giving this place two stars instead of one. It's absolutely delicious, but an actual entree (3 slices) is ridiculously overpriced at about $10, whereas a replacement side (one slice) is less than $2 (I think around $1.50). My skillet was below average and pretty much ALL hash browns. The portions are average. Our server said that they have "large" portions, and it was more than I could finish in one sitting, but that's not saying much, since I can barely finish any of my meals in one sitting. It actually wasn't that much food when it came out, but it was A LOT of hash browns, making it filling. Overall, I've never been blown away by this place, and I don't get why so many people are here all the time.

Jim P.

The pancakes are great here. Very light and fluffy. I highly recommend them. On the other hand the sizzlin skillet was flavorless, but there's nothing a bit of Cholula and salt can't fix. Also it's clear their eggs Benedict is not one of their specialities. The first time it came out the poached egg was over cooked. However the waitress was very kind and quick when it came to redressing this issue. Although the eggs came out correct the second time, the English muffin unfortunately was hard and stale. 5 stars for service. 5 stars for their pancakes. 2 stars for everything else

The place was hopping on a Friday morning but my friend and I were seated right away. I would avoid this place during the peak weekend brunch time as I don't find it particularly worth a 30-40 minute wait. I suggest trying The Liberty off Rte 21 in Libertyville instead. But anyway, back to this review... Sarah S was our server and she did a wonderful job. She was very congenial and attentive. I ordered the Fresca omelette and my friend ordered a skillet. The food came in no time. My omelette was enormous and packed with avocado, cheese and sundried tomatoes--no skimping here. It came with hash browns (perfectly crispy) and two pancakes on the side. Their pancakes really are delicious, nothing mindblowing, but they hit the spot. They pair well with the Intelligentsia coffee they serve. Overall it was a pleasant experience. We were seated by the fireplace in the middle of the dining room--best seat in the house IMO! Very cozy and a nice touch of warmth on a cold January morning.

We have been to Wildberry many times over the years and can't think of one bad experience. The food quality is excellent. Make no mistake--pretty much the entire breakfast menu consists of staples you can get at any number of restaurants. You won't find many exotic ingredients or truly original dishes. But what Wildberry does, they do very well...and usually very efficiently. The pancakes rank as some of the best we've had anywhere. While they don't use jumbo eggs any more for the omelets, what you get is still more than enough. The lunch menu is also good although most people come here for breakfast. Service has always been prompt and courteous. While prices have been creeping up, they are still what we'd consider reasonable. Our only negatives concern the location. Wildberry sits on the corner of a very busy intersection. It is difficult if not impossible at times to turn left into the restaurant's parking lot. The lot is sizable but narrow. It is especially tight in the back if you drive a big truck or SUV. As many reviewers have indicated, Wildberry gets VERY busy on weekends. There is an overflow lot of sorts on the south end of the property but a good rule of thumb is, if you can't find a parking space in the lot surrounding the building, forget it and go somewhere else...or be prepared to wait. The crowds are significantly lighter on weekdays or before 8:30 on weekends.

Gabriel M.

4 stars is about right. It really is a good breakfast spot, but when you have to pay extra to get real maple syrup for your pancakes... that sir is the sort of thing that costs you a star as it did here. When you're this good, using the best ingredients, don't get lazy or cheap on us by holding out or charging more for the syrup. That should be complimentary. That being said the scrambles are good and I'll be back for them, but I refuse to eat pancakes, waffles, or french toast without real maple syrup and I won't pay more for that pleasure.

Stacy O.

I adore Wildberry Cafe and their breakfast. Their pancakes are the showstopper -- light, fluffy, with a hint of vanilla. I will always be a fan because I can't replicate that recipe at home, despite my best efforts. But everything I've had has been delicious -- the omelets and skillets are filled with fresh ingredients, the seasonal menu boasts interesting specials, and Service is consistently good. The host team works through a wait list every weekend morning quickly and with patience. There's coffee available in the lobby while you wait for a table (nice touch!). Prices are totally reasonable. This is a special weekend treat for us, but one we look forward to as I consistently fail at reaching their level on Sunday mornings. :)

Meka N.

Not half bad, we got seated very fast and the staff are very nice! It took a very long time for our food to come but when it did it was most likely the best food in Illinois! I highly recommend this place if you have some time to wait!

Karan P.

I love this place. I love their food. Probably the best breakfast place. Start with their freshly squeezed orange juice, it's the best orange juice I've tasted, hands down. They've amazing egg Benedict's and awesome skillets. My personal favorite is the Mexicana skillet with pancakes. Substitute for their berry bliss pancakes and you'll taste the most delicious pancakes. I must have been there at least twenty times and they are so consistently delicious! There'd be a looong wait if you get there after 10 am, so try to get there early and they don't take reservations. During summer, they open seating in patio which makes it so good of a morning, whenever you plan on eating there. They have one restaurant in downtown as well, on Randolph right across the millennium park. It's fantastic food, fantastic place!!

When I heard this was a pancake restaurant, I was a little bit concerned. That is because I am on a diabetic diet. And was concerned that I would have too many carbs coming into the system. I was delightfully surprised by the waitstaff and their friendliness, as well as the opportunities to eat a high fat-low carb diet. I had chorizo and scrambled eggs and two sausage patties. The coffee was good, and the only lacking thing was that there was no heavy whipping cream to make my bulletproof coffee. Other than that, it was in in the park homerun.

Valerie V.

This is my favorite breakfast place in libertyville! The best chocolate chip waffles, great crepes with real strawberries! Fresh squeezed orange juice is so delicious! Also make great coffee drinks! Just make sure you keep in mind what time you go there because they do get pretty crowded, but don't worry you can always have a coffee or drink while you wait!
(5)
Erikamarie B.

This was a delicious experience! We drive an hour to get to Wildberry and it was worth it! I had the Mexicana skillet with no jalapeÃ±os and the banana cream pie specialty pancakes. The portions are large and the skillet was so yummy! Their hashbrown potatoes are freshly browned and crispy on the outside. The pancakes were to die for! My mom had the fresca omelet and said it was cooked perfectly and that the veggies were so fresh! My cousin had the Rutherford omelet with spinach and goat cheese - I tried it and it was heaven for a goat cheese lover - they don't skimp on the goat cheese! I also tried an iced chai tea latte, which was very good. I'm definitely coming back to Wildberry - a definite must do if you're anywhere near it. The prices were great, too! The skillet was around $9 and then $1 for specialty pancakes instead of plain - cheap for the huge delicious meal you get!

This restaurant inexplicably has long lines. You are given a pager to keep your place in the order you came in. Unless, of course, you are one of the many friends of the owner, hostess, or seater. Then you get a table right away. This, of course, ruins the dining experience for the person not lucky enough to have socialized with twenty year old restaurant workers. The moral is: decent, not great food and service. Stay away if you see any kind of a crowd.

Nikki T.

Wildberry just isn't for us. Tried a couple times thinking we had a bad experience or came on a bad day. No. It's just consistently bad. Service is hit or miss. For me it seems to be more of a miss. LOL Every time we're there, we get a waitress that ignores us. The one time I complained management made excuse after excuse for the waitress even though they weren't busy. (And she was sitting and talking with management and other wait staff) Food is okay. It's the standard breakfast fare you can find just about anywhere in this area. I feel like this place is an over hyped IHOP. The pancakes arent anything spectacular, their eggs Benedict wasn't so great. I've tried the traditional and spinach. The spinach was not fresh and wasn't appetizing. Not a place that I care for.

Although hard to get into for breakfast on the weekends, due to how packed they are, this place is great. Pancakes, eggs, sausages, omelets are wonderful. Even their wildberry orange juice is good.

Robert S.

The one word that come to mind is, why. We have passed this location for several years and the lot is always full, so we thought it must be something special. My wife and I finally had a chance to try it out. PROS: The staff was friendly. The restaurant was clean. The server was cheerful and energetic. CONS: Higher then what you would expect prices for breakfast. Ordered a Coke and it came out in a hot glass and was flat. Waiter placed my skillet in front of me then grabbed it back because he brought the wrong one. Brought the wrong check. Once we got our check it was wrong. Summary: Between the food prices being high, the food quality being just OK and the poor service. We just asked ourselves, why did we bother?

Chelsea E.

I've been to this restaurant many times and everytime the food is amazing. It's a pretty hit or miss when it comes to the service but the food is hands down one of the best in lake county. I've tried everything from pancakes, omelettes, french toast, and crepes. The portions are excellent for the prices and the food always taste fresh. I think the only negative of this restaurant is the length of time they're open.

Dhruv M.

This Place is SOOOOO good. It is my go to place for brunch every weekend. I love how much food they give you for such a low price. Ordering one omelette or scramble will give you side order of pancakes as well. And OMG their pancakes are awesome. So many delicious flavors. The only reason I keep going back is so I can try all of them!
(5)
John N.

Meh. I found it overpriced and nothing special. It's the kind of place where you think you'll get something different, but when your food comes it's just the same eggs, the same hash browns, the same toast, the same benedict, biscuits, skillet, and pancake you can get anywhere else at any of the many small diners in the area. Plus, it's stupid busy on weekend mornings. I'm not sure what drives people to wait for 45 minutes for a ho-hum same ol' breakfast, but if that's your game, then this is the place for you.

Kelly M.

Such a cute place with sophisticated flavors. I wasn't a fan of the iced coffee (it lacked complexity and strength), but it was bottomless, so that helps. I went here after a lovely bike ride in Independence Grove. Despite the fact that it was lunch time on a Sunday, we were seated promptly and the service was fantastic. Pro tip - all dishes come with pancakes. And those pancakes can be any of the premium pancakes, including the special. Carrying on, I got the summer scramble, which was eggs with black mission figs, sundried tomatoes and caramelized onions. I would have never thought that fruit in scrambled eggs would be so good. However, the real standout of this meal was the chocolate chip pancakes. I had a side of fluffy buttermilk pancakes with golden hue topped with chocolate chips, chocolate sauce and whipped cream. They melted in my mouth into a chocolate bliss. It was the perfect reward after a long ride.

Joel A.

When I first walked in here I was not impressed. The decor is of the run of the mill strip mall variety, and certainly less trendy than many of the hipster brunch places that I've been to. But there's something about the food and wait staff that makes me return to this place over and over again. It's consistently good, not in a stuck up way, but in a comforting this-really-hits-the-spot way. I always get the skillets and I am never disappointed. House made orange juice is worth the splurge too. Can't go wrong here!

Wildberry is about as good as it gets for breakfast in the metro area. The restaurants always have nice appointments, large dining areas, and while there are long waits at busy times, the staff does a nice job managing the line. The food is outstanding, at least what we've had (brioche french toast, chicken salad sandwich are both favorites. Along with Egg Harbor, Wildberry is at the top of the brunch food chain in Chicago suburbs.

This was just poor, my server rarely came around to fill up my coffee. The service was poor, but secondly the food i had ordered was pitiful. I got the santa fe benedict and the chipotle hollandaise was repulsive. If you are in the area and looking for good food, check out Walker Brothers because this is not the place.

This is my favorite breakfast place. My family and I have been to this location for more than 7 times. If we live closer, we would probably be there 2-3 time a week. The building itself looks like a million dollar mansion but the menu prices are mostly under $10. There are 3 simple rules to follow when it comes to a breakfast restaurant. #1 Good coffee, #2 Good food and #3 Good service. This place got them all! Want to try the Specialty Pancakes but not the whole portion? This is how you do it. Order a dish that already comes with pancakes (skillets, omelets) on the side and upgrade it to any Specialty Pancakes for only $1.00 more. It will be a 2 pc pancake portion not the full size. Ask others with you to upgrade their pancakes so the whole table will have many Specialty Pancakes to sample. So far, the Signature Berry Bliss and the new Banana Cream Pie pancakes are the best! They do not take reservations on weekends. Expect a wait time of 30 min-45 mins. Go during the week if you can.

Great breakfast and great service. Such a wide variety of menu items! I've never had a bad meal. Good luck trying to get a table during the weekend mornings. The place is PACKED! (But I guess that's a good problem to have )

It is a long wait for Sunday brunch; make sure you bring entertaining company and take advantage of the coffee bar inside the foyer. Service from Sarah was excellent. I had a question about the flavored lemonades and was advised the flavored syrups are used. I'm sure I made a face. Sarah suggested the black current iced tea, which is brewed with currents and unsweetened. It suited me perfectly as it has a complex subtle flavor without being overly sweet or bitter. I recommend the corned beef hash skillet. It is the right combination of crispy potato, tangy cheddar and a balanced amount of corned beef. I asked for the eggs over medium - runny yolk with complete cooked whites. I'm giving four stars because the whites of the eggs were not completely cooked. The buttermilk pancakes have the perfect amount of leavening. Many recipes over leaven which makes a dense pancake that sits in my stomach like a ball of wet clay. These are light and airy, without being overly sweet. My husband had the wild mushroom omelet, which is on the seasonal specials menu. It included tangy cheese with oyster and cremini mushrooms inside the omelet with bits of prosciutto and prosciutto on top as garnish. He enjoyed a side of fresh fruit which was of a generous size and had a nice blend of cut fruit. For a slight up-charge he had a berry bliss crepe instead of toast. He is very fond of crepes and gleefully recommends everyone try one of the berry bliss crepes here as it is one of their signature creations and deservedly so.

I adore this place!! I crave Wildberry every morning. Best breakfast stop in the area. My fiancee and I go 2 twice a week. Foods amazing, staff is friendly, atmosphere is nice. Been coming here for years, I think the hype of this restaurant shows as it can get packed fairly quickly even on the weekdays. My recommendation is to get a side order of the clasicc buttermilk panackaes and taste what perfection taste like. Their known for their pancakes, so it will be ashame not to experience them.

I love you Wildberry! I would eat here everyday for breakfast if I could. Everything I have ate here has been amazing. Im a big fan of the mexican type scrambles and omelets. Yesterday We had breakfast here and one of the specials was eggs bene with chorizo and serrano ham it was amazing! love it! its a must go but you have to get here early on the weekends or you will be waiting a long time but hey its worth it!

The best breakfast on earth!! Huge menu and I have never had anything but an excellent meal here.

Kerri L.

I made a very poor decision by ordering lunch instead of breakfast here, and I plan on fixing that on my next visit. I ordered the french dip and a chicken caesar salad. The salad was tasty, but the french dip was tasteless. I took it home and fixed it, and it was ok then, but i was expecting more from it. We went in the afternoon though, so I wasn't planning on ordering breakfast. It's my own fault for ordering lunch from a breakfast place, oh well. I'll order breakfast next time, and hopefully i'll have a better opinion.

This is a great breakfast and lunch spot, outdoor seating in good weather. Highest recommendation, especially for potato pancakes. Also serves free coffee on weekends or when there is a line. The lines tend to move fast.

The Los Altos Benedict is FANTASTIC! Eggs perfectly poached, chorizo is almost as good as I've found in El Paso, and the flavor of the holladaise complements everything very well. Got some house made preserves to try, also fantastic.

Lea T.

I've gone here a couple times for breakfast, and it's always busy. They do have call-ahead in lieu of reservations so I think that helped expedite things. Our server seemed to be in the weeds and mixed up our order. The food is pretty typical breakfast food, not bad and good selection, but nothing super special. But it's a good local spot for my friends that live in the suburbs, so I don't mind coming here.

Karina G.

Visiting my sister in suburban Illinois always means a few different things. One of them is Wildberry's. I love coming here with my sister's family. It is definitely a home-y vibe. The hostess, waitresses, and waiters are all nice here. The food is yummy. Im not a huge fan of breakfast like the rest of my family is so its great to see on the menu the option for lunch or for non typical breakfast food. I have tried majority of their Belgian waffles and they are all yummy! Their daily specials are also good! Came here last weekend and tried their daily special of banana nutella waffles! Yumm-tastic!

Brandon C.

You know, it was decent. I didn't hate it by any means, but there was nothing about the food that will keep me anxious to return. Service was pleasant, food was solid, but overall it was overpriced and overhyped. Is it a nice and classy place? Yes, but if a delicious breakfast is more important, then Cracker Barrel still owns that category in my mind.

Rediculous Waite, no parking, olive garden style building and atmosphere, very rushed, fresh juices, almost no meals with meat have to order as a side, ok meal nothing special and not worth the loud cramped stay and the ridiculous wait to be seated.

Brunch is my favorite meal and when I first move to a city- I search out the restaurants that specialize in type of food. WOW- I love this place & I have HIGH standards. After living in San Francisco for the past 5 years- there are MANY places like this there with great food and a LONG WAIT. The 30 min wait on late Sunday morning was so worth my time. The Banana Bread French Toast was AMAZING and to was the omelet with the Provolone cheese & Sun Dried tomatoes. Defiantly worth the drive north on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning!!!!

Wildberry Cafe offers a wide variety of breakfast foods as well as a surprising amount of salad/lunch options. Our waiter was attentive, although I will say he was a little too formal for the location (yes mam, no mam ... I'm 26 for crying out loud, not 50!). The restaurant itself however is very comfortable and was quite crowded with its regular breakfast goers. I ordered a make your own omelet. My omelet was huge, served in what was more of a large bowl than a plate with hash browns. The meal also included a choice of bread or pancakes on the side. Be prepared to either eat a lot or take something home! The pancakes were excellent (I personally may get just pancakes next time) although I didn't find the omelet to really be anything special. Also recommended if you want something light ... they have wheat crepes with fresh berries. I got to try a little off of my breakfast cohort. Great way to eat well when you're counting the calories. There are definitely some other things on this menu that I would like to try before giving this restaurant my final opinion ... but so far, they are definitely on my good side.

The S'mores pancakes were EXCELLENT!!! My wife enjoyed the tiera misue pancakes and thought they were delicious. From what our group enjoyed you really can't go wrong with anything in the place! Service was slow but friendly. A must if you're in the area looking for breakfast or brunch.

Jason S.

What a Wildberry Surprise! We happened on this place while visiting friends in the burbs. Absolutely excellent breakfast! There was a "worth it wildberry wait" but the ingenious Seattle's Best Coffee for sale just inside made the time disappear. We sat in the outdoor seating under the shade of an umbrella and thoroughly enjoyed our skillets with a side of tasty pancakes and fantabulous crispy hash browns the way they were intended to be served. The prices were surprisingly low. Our only wish is that this place were closer to home! I smell bacon and franchise opportunity!

This place has consistent, great food time and time again. It is packed and the wait is annoying but that is the only downfall. If you love breakfast food, you will love wildberry.

There was a wait of about 20 minutes. Not too bad for a Saturday morning. However the food was not even mediocre but better than horrible. Don't order the 100% maple syrup because they only give you one little jar of it. I would have needed maybe three of them but for $1.75 a piece it didn't seem worth it. The restaurant was kind of dirty too, smudges on the walls, paper on the floor, beat up furniture. I know they were busy but that's no reason they cant have someone with a broom cleaning up trash and there only open for breakfast and lunch, so why not clean the walls in the evening. There was a lot of kids there too. Probably a normal amount my girlfriend says but I don't like them so it seemed like a lot. If you like family restaurants with OK food and don't mind crowds I would recommend this place. The menu has some original items and they are reasonably priced. But don't expect anything speciall at this place or you will be disappointed.

Yum! This place serves fabulous breakfast. Really delicious food, and an expansive menu with a large variety. Everything was delicious and the coffee was really tasty. I had the pancakes with berries (something of a specialty here, given the name), and it was awesome. Huge portions and reasonable prices. They accommodated a large group of us with no problem, and the service was delightful. I was only in/around Chicago for a few days, but this was a definite highlight.

I don't understand what the hype is all about. I'm not kidding, but this place sucked ass! I've been better places. We went because of the reviews and everyone seemed to compliment this place. I had the veggie omelets and yes, the portions were huge... But it was kinda dry. Service wasn't that great either.

Yum! Every time I go, I think, "Why don't I come here more often?" The food is yummy, and decor is nice and the place is always clean. I'm not giving 5 stars because the prices are a tad high.

Jessica B.

Definitely one of my favorite restaurants ever. I like to call Wildberry "dessert for breakfast" because that's basically what a good portion of the menu is. They specialize in sweet, indulgent breakfast items, although their omelettes and other savory meals are also excellent. I like that there is a full coffee bar, so I can enjoy a good latte with breakfast. The lunch is just as good as breakfast. The salads are so delicious. The portions are very large and the temptation ot overeat is irresistable. My only complaint is that the wait is usually 30 minutes or more (even though there is a lot of seating and service is fast) and that they aren't open all day.
(5)
Richard B.

Slow service once we were seated. We did not have a long wait. Menu was pretty extensive. I would place them right along with Walker Brothers price wise. The place just has a 'lodge at Disney' feel to it. Not cold but you don't feel like you've been welcomed into someones restaurant. Very corporate attitude, decor and atmosphere. Oh, the coffee was good!

Ted C.

I came here for lunch and thought the world of this place. The food was really good it tasted so fresh and I just remember being really amazed by the taste. The interior of the restaurant was nicely decorated it felt very warm and homey. I thought the far northern suburbs were remote outposts of large homes and maybe a gas station or two with a McDonald's thrown in but this place made me change my mind.

Lil C.

Superb! Great food, breakfast and lunch. Service is great and love the new construction. Generous portions with fresh fruit and salads and breakfast fair. Perfect for brunch but be prepared to wait, there is always a line and they don't take reservations. Good business lunch place but hard to get in and out of there in an hour.

I won't go comparing this to Walker Bros. as I feel they are two totally different styles of breakfast but I will say that when it comes to my morning time dollar, this is giving the big WB a run for their money... Wildberry is at a pretty good location for its business-far enough away from the clusterf*@! of downtown Libertyville but not way out in the boonies. Even the good ole boys from Great Lakes could make it down here in a reasonable amount of time. That being said, this place is INCREDIBLY popular with us Suburban folk so it gets packed. I've waited for over an hour but it's been worth it every time. Luckily they have a coffee shop in the front so you can order beverages while waiting and if you bring your cup to the table your server won't re-charge you for that beverage if it's refillable (soda, coffee, tea, etc.). The service is always pretty good, never had any complaints. The booths are big and great for groups. A few weeks ago we held 6 adults and 1 guy in a chair at the end. I've also eaten here with groups 10+ and they have been very accomodating with seperating bills and putting together large tables. I would definitely call ahead and put your name on the wait list though, big party or not. On to the food. I've had a number of different things here, most recently the Wildberry French toast, the Mexicana skillet, Espanola omelette (HUGE) and a Sunday special, the Benny Benedict (eggs benedict with a corned beef hash and chipotle hollendaise - orgasm in my mouth). Things I have yet to try (there just never seems to be enough hangover Sundays to do it all) - Nutella Crepes (study abroad in Italy anyone? This was my achilles heel there), Wildberry Belgian, Banana Bread French Toast, sweet potato fries, and the infamous Tiramisu pancakes.The orange juice is fresh squeezed, the coffee is decent (although I've never been a fan of Seattle's Best) and my friends have seemed to enjoy a variety of their smoothies/blended coffee drinks. The best part about any meal there is the wildberry preserves they serve with your toast or pancakes. This stuff is sweet deliciousness on my knife and I always put way too much on my bread. So worth it. Wildberry is a truly amazing breakfast experience, just be ready to wait because the rest of Lake County is thinking the same thing.

kyle b.

go early, on weekends, to beat the rush. we though we had and we still had quite a wait. the food here was all very good but it might be true that much of it is trying a little too hard. the biscuits and gravy tasted good but not like biscuits and gravy, for instance, because somebody had to make sure to try and "bam" it up with a bunch of crap that doesn't really belong in there. everything else was very good, if a little pretentious. there is a point where more flavor, more special ingredients, more exotic crap thrown in just isn't more any more. this place seems to ride on the line. the service, though, was excellent and nothing was of poor quality. i would be happy to go again. if you like biscuits and gravy, though, skip them at this place. wtf is rosemary doing in there?

KT W.

Love this place. Always try to hit it when we are in town, and often go out of the way to make a visit as well. Top notch service, good quality ingredients and delicious food! Often times there is a wait for a table, but when the experience is this good that's to be expected.

This was another place that was suggested on the navyformoms website while I was visiting Chicago for hubby grad. Decided to go here for breakfast after picking up my husband from the base along with my daughter and mother in law. It was about 8am on a Saturday and we were seated immediately. First of all the decor and the inside of the restaurant was really cute and cozy feeling with a fireplace inside. I did feel like people were staring at us. Maybe its more of a local place? Or maybe because my husband was in uniform? Who knows, but we saw another Navy family there. My mother in law ordered eggs with sausage and pancakes. I kept reading eggs were extremely fluffy, but they were normal to me. My daughter ordered the bisquits and gravy with a hot chocolate. I ordered the tiramisu pancakes. And my husband ordered the homemade corned beef hash with a freshly squeezed orange juice. My daughters bisquits and gravy weren't good. The bisquits were really dry and the gravy had a weird taste. I liked that they put her drink in a to-go cup so she was able to take it with her, but the fresh hot chocoate was extremely sweet! I ordered a regular size meal for her so she could bring leftovers back to the hotel, but she didn't like it so it was a bit of a waste! My husbands food on the other hand was good, he said it was ok, but I thought it was tasty. His orange juice was good! Freshly squeezed and really good! I didn't taste my mother in laws food. My pancakes were very different, but in a good way. I love tiramisu, but it tasted a little different, very sweet, but in a good way. Its hard to explain. Haha. I could only eat half because it was so much! The presentation of all our foods looked very appetizing too. I like when chefs take the time to make the food look pretty. Haha. I just do. I really liked this place because of the cozy feeling, the cleanliness and decor of the restaurant and variety of foods. If I were in Chicago again, I would definitely come here again and try something new.

Mia P.

Yummy!!! Everything is good! The service is great, but you have to go early or late as the place is always packed with locals. There breakfasts are the best, but they also make some mean sandwiches. I love the pancakes, skillets and even the club sandwiches. The portions are large, so be ready to share to take home leftovers.
(5)
Kate M.

This is by far the best place to go for breakfast in the area. The food is amazing and they have a lot on the menu. It's always difficult to decide what to have. Their wildberry jam that comes with toast is so tasty. It is almost always crowded. If you go on a weekend for breakfast, you will probably have to wait at least a half hour, but it's worth it. It's less crowded if you go later though. Service is pretty good though. They're very diligent about refilling coffee. Reservations are generally a no, but I believe that if your party is large enough, they will take them on the weekends.
(5)
Renato P.

A very nice looking space with friendly and efficient staff. The menu selection was good, I opted for something simple. I ordered a bacon and cheddar omelet, pretty standard, but still good. The hash browns (I'm a connoisseur and long time hash brown fan) were good, if not spectacular. The pancakes were pretty much the same , good but not impressive , with the exception of real whipped butter for them. The chocolate chip pancakes looked impressive to me and seemed to be enjoyed by my companion. My order warrented a 3 star review, the place looked nice and the server was efficient and the menu selection diverse, so I'll give it 4 stars. A word of warning, there was almost an hour wait when I tried to go here on a Saturday morning, so plan a backup if you don't want to wait. My review is based on a Friday morning which had a much more managable crowd.

jonathan r.

The only downside that I can give you about this place is that you need to get there at a descent hour or not really plan on rolling up in there and getting a seat right away. Now on the flip side to that I did go there at about 10:30 on a Saturday and didn't have to wait at all. So what everyone says is true "timing is everything." I had this amazing corned beef benny, something new and I was definitely excited about trying it, I think I got three bites cause everyone around me wanted to try it. My mom and aunt got the asparagus omelet both loved it. The atmosphere there is great the people are nice, service took a little while but the food is so good I really didn't even care. Try the Wildberry orange juice, and the Wildberry preserves you won't be disappointed. This is a five star restaurant by far you need to take your family there.

This is a very good place for breakfast. We went on a weekend morning (around 9 AM). It's a large place with several rooms. It has a lot of windows that give it a sunlit, airy feel. It was crowded, but we did not wait long to be seated (about 5 minutes). It has a wholesome feel to it and the crowd consisted of a mix of couples and families (lots of "sippee cups") with younger children. We each had an egg-white omelet with hash browns (though, I understand that fruit may be substituted for the hash browns). The hash browns were crispy and the egg white omelet was fluffy (but not pillow-like). Our breakfast included pancakes or toast (or bagel or English muffin). Portions were decent-sized and you might easily not have to eat until dinner after dining here for breakfast. The coffee was great. Service was efficient. Our order was taken promptly after we sat down and our server was attentive (checking with us a couple of times). I would go back.

Rusty S.

This is the only alternative to the Walker Brothers in the burbs. This is a bold statement because they are what I measure the breakfast places to. The place is big and roomy, there are allot of windows and it's bright. The waiter staff is knowledgeable and nice. There are seasonal specials and all the great breakfast items that you'd want. In summer time we tend to sit outside.

Evelyn C.

Wow! I didn't expect the food to be as good as it was. It was fresh and organic which is something that I feel is needed in the suburbs. I like that the cafe is in the waiting area, because you will be waiting for a long time on the weekends! I had the Espagnola Omelet and it was so beautifully arranged and the flavors amazing. I am surprised the waitstaff is so precise with those big plates but they manage. The coffee was good and the OJ was fresh squeezed. We had a great server and he let us sit and chat even though the place was packed. Whenever I visit from out of town I used to wonder the the hype was about this place, now I know and I will make sure to visit every time I am in town! Also, the price was really reasonable, 3 people ate for 28 dollars!

As I was doing laundry and contemplating my navel in my parents' basement, my brother in law called from next door (I know, apparently my sister is mentally disabled) wanting brunch. Having wanted to try this place, I was glad we ended up at Wildberry. There was a bit of a wait, which is apparently normal on a Sunday, but it was nice outside and you can grab a coffee from the coffee bar/bakery area to enjoy while waiting. Once we were seated, our server was quick to take our drink orders and soon I was slugging down my liquid crack of choice, tomato juice. All three of us chose the corned beef hash skillet which was delicious and made with freshly ground corned beef and some very tasty eggs. My accompanying English muffins were thick and lightly grilled. They were a perfect match for their berry preserves. Our food was brought to us swiftly and our waiter was friendly, though a little bit out of it. I can't wait to come back and try some other items.

I go here with my P's when I visit. The place is awesome, really! So many variations on the pancake, this place leaves IHOP spinning in it's tracks. The building is like a mansion and the servers always remember my parents name and stop by to say hi even when they are not waiting on us. I always judge a breakfast place on the quality of there Tomato juice and Wildberry has some damn good Tomato juice. I figure if they get quality juice all the other ingredients they use are just as fresh and tasty!

Awesome breakfast food served all day. I wish I lived closer to it so I could go more. So many different kinds of pancakes and french toast, it never gets old! Yes, I have ordered potato pancakes with a side of hash browns here and they were good too!

Took our Navy Sailor here twice for breakfast and they have great food and excellent service. Restaurant was so accommodating that I asked the manager to print out our boarding passes for the airlines for the next day and he did. Great restaurant and great food.

Date of visit: 5/17/08 Rating: 5/5 Wildberry was a pleasant surprise...headed there with a medium-sized group for brunch on a Saturday late morning. The place was totally packed and we did have to wait about 20 minutes to get a table. No matter; we checked out the menu and watched CNN on the flat screen TV. The menu can be a little overwhelming, as it is really long! I stuck to the breakfast stuff--I can't comment on their lunch/salad selections. These people do breakfast and they do it WELL. Portions are quite large. You will not leave hungry. I enjoyed every bite, but I could not even begin to finish all the food. I had the fresca omelet (eggs with avocado, sun-dried tomatoes, and provolone) with chocolate chip pancakes (well, pancakes topped with chocolate chips) on the side and a side of bacon. (mmm) -Others at our table also ordered additional sides of corned beef hash and biscuits with sausage gravy. The biscuits were a little dense but I will say that the gravy was very tasty. I had never tried corned beef hash before--I will just say that I very much enjoyed what I tasted at Wildberry. -The omelet was one of the best I've had in a long time. It was very light and fluffy with big chunks of avocado and sun-dried tomatoes mixed in with provolone cheese. The cheese was maybe a tiny bit excessive BUT I think most people like that (I like a little less cheese, but I didn't specify that to them) so I wouldn't dock them for that. -The pancakes were warm, light and fluffy...delicious with the butter and syrup. The hash browns were OK--nothing spectacular, but certainly respectable. (I added ketchup and salt/pepper to mine.) The bacon was perfectly fried, no excessive grease hanging off. Thick cuts of meat, too. The coffee was also quite good, and they were great about refilling it promptly. Writing this review is making me really hungry. -Given that there were seven of us, the wait staff was incredibly efficient, remembered who all had what dish (impressive as the table was absolutely covered in food, every square inch) and was great at coming back, checking on us and giving us what we needed. The poor waitress was even about 6 or 7 months pregnant, but that didn't slow her down even one bit. Bottom line: Fantastic food, great service with a smile even on a packed Saturday morning. I will definitely be coming back when I come back home for a visit!

OK, let me start off by saying that Wildberry is my absolute favorite restaurant in the world. Yes, you just read that sentence correctly. If I knew I was going to die, my last meal would be here. No other place makes me feel as comfortable and as satisfied as Wildberry. I not only try to eat here a minimum of once a week, I made it a regular occurrence of ordering take-out every Thursday afternoon between work and school. I would starve myself between 8am til 2pm, because I knew that at 2pm I would be enjoying the best food ever. I would get off the train from college downtown, call on my way and order and when I got there, my food was always ready to be consumed. Here are my favorites from this great establishment: Dutch Baby - Oven baked pancake that they claim takes 30 minutes, but I timed it once and it only took 18. This is my all-time favorite food ever. This is what I would eat before I die, and this is what I basically order every single time I come here. The hostess, who always takes my to-go order over the phone, knows this is my signature item and I always get it with a side of bananas and a side of strawberries. Imagine the finest tasting pancake, smothered in hot syrup, bananas, strawberries, and powdered sugar in every bite. That's what keeps me coming back. Oh, and it costs $6.95! Not only does this wonderful creation cost nothing, but it holds my entire appetite the whole day! Crepes - I have had almost all the flavors, from Taffy Apple (warm apples with caramel) to Nutella to simple Banana, each crepe is so good and I usually, depending on which flavor I get, pair it with my usual strawberry banana side combo. Pancakes - These rock too, and they have a specialty one every month. They give you 6 medium sized ones and they always arrive hot. You an guess what my favorite kind is (banana), but another I love are the July special ones called Jelly Donut. Try the Strawberry Cheesecake, Tiramisu, Black Cherry, or just plain, and I promise you will love every bite. Waffles - I have only ordered a waffle once, but it was the Wildberry Waffle, which came loaded with Blueberries, Blackberries, Raspberries, and Strawberries. And guess what I ordered a side of to make it the ultimate fruit waffle? Yup, a side of bananas. Coffee - They make their own, and I love the Vanilla Berry Latte. This place strives to be healthy too, so they automatically use skim milk in all of their drinks. Service - These servers are truly great people and they bust their butt every shift. They always smile and make sure everything is always the best. The front desk does a fantastic job of handling the insane weekend crowds, as well as always making sure the to-go orders are fully prepared and easily ready when the customer arrives to pay. Really I would write more about Wildberry but my hands are hurting. If you really do want to hear more, send me a message on this site and I will describe to you my undying love for everything they make. Their food is top notch and their prices are so insanely low that I feel like I'm ripping them off. Wildberry Pancakes and Cafe, thank you for always making me happy, and I want to let everyone know that I seriously contemplate ordering take-out or going to your restaurant every single day.

I love, love, love Wildberry!! They have the best eggs benedict that I have ever had plus super yummy hash browns. Their Wildberry pancakes, waffles, and crepes are smothered in, well, wild berries and are just awesome! I sometimes daydream about them... Service has always been super fast and friendly. GO HERE!

Love this place...took my daughter to breakfast here on Good Friday (she was out of school and I was off work) and we both really enjoyed our meal. She had silver dollar pancakes with chocolate chips, I had pancakes with bananas, and we both had a side of Apple wood Smoked bacon...hmm, hmmm, good! The service is awesome, it was quick, the food was hot when it came and my server was great. I've been here before and I always have a great experience. My only gripe is that the waiting area can get really tight during the busy days (usually Saturday and Sunday morning). It's a family restaurant, so there are always kids everywhere (just a warning to the people who prefer not to dine where there are lots of children)....

This is the best place to eat breakfast in Lake County. They have the best omlettes ever. My personal favorite is the Espana, a spanish style omlette. The hashbrowns are excellent too. The quality of the food stands out, and the service is great. Blueberry pancakes are also a must have!!

We had a great breakfast recently. Even though the place is packed and it is difficult to find a parking spot, the waits are generally short. The Wildberry French toast was great. I've never had a bad meal here...Too bad it's not open for dinner!

I love this place for either breakfast or lunch. The food is awesome, they always have a variety of interesting specials, real ham off the bone...the list goes on and on. I'm more of an egg person so I can't comment on their pancakes, waffles, french toast, etc. but my husband says the're delicious. Sandwiches are awesome (they own a steakhouse as well, prime rib sandwich is great) and their salads are fresh and LOADED with goodies (request dressing on the side, though...they put a lot on there). My only complaint is that I wish less people knew about this place because the wait on the weekend can be pretty long!

This place is always packed during breakfast but the wait never seems too long. Service has always been exceptional and my wife and I love the little presentation details like the spoons placed on top of our coffee cups and the enormous plates that make your breakfast feel especially cared for. The serving sizes are perfect and we absolutely love the pancakes here. I generally stick to the standard eggs & toast with my breakfast and Wildberry always seems to make this even simple dish top notch!

Pretty decent food, but Walker Bros. it ain't. Breakfast choices are plentiful, but nothing special about it's quality. Service is good.

The Wildberry is a place we have started to frequent for brunch when visiting my mom in the northern suburbs. It's got all the standard pancake house type menu items, but they have some creative items as well. I tried the "Tiramisu pancakes" which I expected to be sickeningly sweet (I couldn't resist though.) They were delicious. They also have some nice takes on standard Eggs Benedict, like the Chipotle Red Pepper Feta Benedict. My husband loves the nutella crepes. They have a nice sized children's menu, and our service has been excellent. There may be a wait on weekends but the have a coffee bar where you can get yummy coffee drinks while you wait. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend it!

Like everyone says, it is crowded, but we got there at 8:15am and only had to wait about 5 minutes for a table. I give it five stars because the food was excellent as was the price. Weekends are crowded with sailors from the nearby Naval Station on liberty, so definitely go early.

There are two things here that are simply the most incredible breakfast items I have ever eaten. First, the most amazing bacon; I have no idea where they get it but WOW this stuff is superb! Second is their banana bread french toast. Completely decadent but what a treat!

There is often a wait to be seated, but the breakfast is great. In fact my out of town guests always want to go back. The wait staff is also attentive. Enjoy!

I just don't get it. Maybe it is a Lake County thing (and a dearth of better options?) but on my second foray into this packed, large restaurant on a Sunday morning, nothing changed my opinion from the first time - a huge disappointment. I can say that the service is friendly and quick, but I can't even compliment the coffee. Average, totally average. On a Sunday morning before 9 A.M., it was crowded with a fifteen-minute wait for a table. So obviously some folks disagree with me, but then again - their options are fewer than in the city and maybe they just don't have a great standard of comparison. I had the classic eggs benedict, and did like the side of fresh fruit. As for the eggs benedict, lousy! First the English muffin was truly dreadful; even with the gloppy faux hollandaise sauce to smother it, it tasted awful. The Canadian bacon was ordinary and fairly tasteless. Only the eggs were done okay. So I will never return. Maybe I am ordering the wrong things, but there are so many better places - even in the 'burbs.

I love the food here. it is non-greasy and tastes so good ! They have a very good menu and their fresh fruit jucies are to die for ! I also love their berry preserve. I love the ambience. It is huge and has an outdoor patio too. People who live in the suburbs should definitely check it out. We drove an hour to get there but it was definitely worth it.
