On 3/26/2025 Samantha had this to say:
This is such a reliable breakfast spot. What impresses us the most, they do everything well. At it’s not exorbitantly priced. We’re from atl and feel qualified to say their grits and biscuits and gravy are great. The chilaquiles is awesome, in house corned beef, great pancakes. And the donuts! There are places with far better reviews nearby and they don’t even come close to the quality of this place.

On 3/26/2025 What Would Jesus Do had this to say:
Absolute best homemade donuts I’ve ever had! Better than Dunkin, Krispy Kreme, or any of the other that came before them.

On 2/24/2025 Carl Nerup had this to say:
Local Place for the locals. Great diner food for any appetite. But, the best part is the bakery - fresh made every day and sold out by noon. The service is great and kindly. Come enjoy a tasty treat in Lake Zurich...because the locals all know where the best place for breakfast is in the neighborhood.
