REVIEWS OF Wildberry Pancakes and Cafe IN Illinois

Ceasar Zepeda

I was just lucky to stumble upon this local gem. Now, that being said, their barbacoa was not really the barbacoa, as in slow cooked tongue and cheek meat I'm used to, but it was well cooked and flavorful. The barbacoa chilaquiles were delicious. It was the only restaurant I returned to in Chicago if that's says anything. The chorizo benedicts were almost well designed and equally as good. I highly recommend this breakfast spot!!!

Tim Ostrander Jr

Great breakfast and staff! Expect s very long wait if you go during popular morning hours, upwards of two hours

Laura Nicole

Great service, great value for price, and delicious food - jam is perfect, sorry couldnt stop to take pictured before eating. Decent portions.

Amber Coleman

What can I say about this place??? Just walking in you feel at home!!! The service is wonderful, atmosphere buzzing, and the food........ Oh My!! Please make it your business to come with your family, sit and enjoy an excellent meal prepared by what I can only imagine are magical culinary elves in the back and warm attentive staff, who come to check on you and won't leave you looking for them the entire meal!

Brent Desjarlais

Incredible and plenty for leftovers later: Skillet with cinnamon bun pancakes (blew our minds) Omelet with cauliflower hash and wildberry pancakes (delicious)

Jeff Clark

Family friendly and fun! Delish. Great park/playground across the street as well.

Cassandra Ratliff

Great food and healthy bang for the buck n nice size portions. Staff pleasant be prepared for a little wait not bad though .

Anastasia

We took the pancakes, which were super delicious and fluffy. But the portions were way bigger than expected, but that could be because it was our first time trying American pancakes. You got 5 big pancakes and if you take one with a lot of toppings, you get really full very easily. I would maybe recommend sharing one plate between two people if you're not prepared to eat a lot of food.

Prateek Patel

One of the best breakfast place in the city. Make sure you be early here or use yelp to join the waitlist from your home. Must try any pan cakes.

-I was seated as soon as I arrived at Wild Berries, which was a bit surprising based on the popularity of this restaurant. But once I got seated, I did notice it was super busy, so it could possibly be that it’s a Monday at noon, so there’s not as much of a rush as there is during weekends. -When my waiter arrived, he took our order for drinks and I got was the Wild Berry Orange Juice (the front and back cups), which actually tasted like freshly squeezed orange juice with fresh berries. -My waiter was able to recommend my meal based on my taste buds. Since it was a meal for two, and both me and my husband don’t eat much meat, we had already chose Eggs topped on quinoa, chick peas, and brown rice, with their specialty Wild Berry Pancakes. Our waiter had recommend their vegan breakfast (which included hash browns) with a side of fruits. -Aside from the food & presentation being amazing and the customer service being impressive, there was a high amount of cleanliness throughout the entire restaurant and bathrooms. They are kept up to date with their decor and don’t let anything stay out of place. -Next time I come to Chicago to visit my family, I will definitely be stopping by again.

Kimberly Robison

Fun breakfast place. Great atmosphere. Attentive service. Portions are gigantic. One omelet can easily feed 3 people.

Eman Groove

If you want to have a different breakfast experience, Wildberry Pancakes is the place. When you want to take a break from the normal routine and try something prepared with a little spice or sweet, then this is the place. Great serving portions of the entrees.Great place for couples, families or small groups. Service and greeting services are great. Moderately priced. Great location in downtown Chicago near the Water Tower.

Christopher Watler

Really great pancakes! Good service and nice atmosphere. Tip: upstairs seating is close to air vents, so if you like it warmer sit downstairs.

Ian Masonbury

Excellent menu with lots of choice. All delicious!

George Koroneos

I found Wildberry Pancakes while searching for a good brunch place in Chicago and loved it so much that I went twice. This is their new location located in the mall across the street from the MoA. I hear that their other location has waits of up to an hour, but I came on a Wednesday and Thursday and found no wait either time. The wait staff was super friendly and have me firm and honest recommendations when I asked "what was good." The first day I went with the Wildberry Pancakes that were layered with marscapone cheese and drizzled with fruit syrup and berries. The stacks of pancakes were light and fluffy and I managed to eat the entire massive stack. On the second day, I got the Churros French toast and was blown away by the fact that they actually tasted like churros. These weren't just cinnamon crusted French toast. Again, I ate the whole meal and downed a great iced coffee. I recommend this place to any true brunch afficianados looking for a great breakfast in downtown Chicago.

Holger Kempke

What a great place! For breakfast there is everything on the menu. I had the best oatmeal, a giant omelette and some great crepes. The portions are humongous. Our waiter, Houston war super nice. Just a perfect place for breakfast!

Dan Lecocq

Perfect breakfast spot. Great menu, service and coffee. Everything I want for breakfast. Went during the week so it was slower. Definitely busier on the weekends. Jam they provide with toast was excellent.

Alicia Norwood

Delicious food, wonderful service, huge portions, unique options, great price! Win win win win win! Coming here every time I'm in chicago!

J. Wendell

Sumptuous breakfast food, great service, what's not to love?

sabrina stammen

I literally could not stop eating. The food was so amazing. The wait staff were so happy and moved quickly. When I go back to Chicago I will be stopping here everyday for breakfast.

anne kindinger

So many menu choices...Delicious food!! Great customer service. They do a good job of moving guests through quickly.

Jim Nelson

Excellent eatery ! All staff very friendly food excellent, but portions are big, so be ready to eat ! Outstanding restaurant if you are in Streeterville or Northwestern Memorial Hospital!

landlockedlyne

I go here by about monthly. The staff is always fantastic. Food is always delish. Try the Danish pancakes! I get here around 9/9:30 to beat the rush.

Nicole Bevis

The food was amazing and definitely worth the wait. Our waitress was also very sweet and helpful. I recommend trying this place on your next trip to Chicago.

Felix Vasquez

It's okay. I think it's over rated. Some specialties deserve better. I agree the berry bliss sauce is good with any of the sweet dishes, but I don't think there's a whole lot to it other than that. The hash brown are very greasy. I ordered a skillet and there was an abundance of grease in the bottom. The portions are enormous for what you get. I wouldn't mind coming back again, but I'd like to try out different places before this place. Another thing to note is to prepare for a huge wait time but once inside the service is great! The second floor can get chilly since the water tower also blows AC into wildberry. Edit:After a few minutes both me and my girlfriend started getting stomach aches.

Jenna R. Pimentel

I can honestly say this might have been the best service I had in my life. The wait was about an hour, but the yelp app allowed me to add myself to the waitlist and check my place in line while I was still getting ready in my hotel room. Once we got there, it was super busy but the staff showed us friendly attention right away and seated us super quick. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable despite how busy it was, and our food came out quickly. The food and drinks were aesthetic, tasted outstanding, and came in big portions. The view was amazing from where we were seated. No wonder this place is always busy!

Lucy Nichols

Omg!! Must eat here at least once when visiting!! Mushroom omelet was absolutely to die for!! Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious! I also had the caramel latte and it was perfect!!! Very nice welcoming atmosphere, tables are close enough to get to know your neighbors and everyone was so pleasant! I can't say enough good about this place.

Madeline Coats

Looking for yummy food for breakfast? Go here!! The service is great, the food is even better. We waited using a phone number reservation service so we got to walk around instead of waiting in the packed restaurant. The food took about 20 minutes and it was well worth the wait. The skillet with egg whites was great. So were the caramel apple pancakes! Definitely would go again!

Joseph Richter

Absolute favorite place to eat in Chicago. Quality food, good price for the amount of food given, presentation is always spot on and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Phillip Kinnison

This was recommended to us from a friend of ours and oh boy, it did not disappoint! Had a nice window seat looking at the park across the street. We were seated quickly and served just quickly even though it was a packed house! Our food was delicious! The mushroom omelette is fantastic, big though so, come hungry! Coffee was not to bad a little to acidic for my taste, but that's a personal preference with my coffee. Highly recommend!

Taryn Crump

I kept hearing hype about how delicious this place was and I thought that it couldn't be true. It totally is though! We had a party of 10 go and everybody loved what they ordered. I got the crepes which were fantastic my husband who got the pancake said he likes the pancakes better than my crepes. I got a side of bacon which was cooked perfectly. And the portions here are huge I promise you really only need one meal.

Julie Acosta

Loved the food and the service. It does get busy but u can get on their waiting list online

Hawra Ali

Great breakfast place! I would recommend this location instead of the Randolph location.

shum Shum

Always have great customer service and food. Will definitely come back again.

Jai Mehta

Loved the food as always. Hate the wait though. Totally worth going for breakfast but be prepared for long waits particularly on weekends. This location supposedly has lower wait times but I would agree to disagree.

Kenny Dube

The serving sizes are massive. Consider sharing dishes

Moh Hosseinioun

Simply the pancake heaven!!! Get’s super crowded and for a good reason. The servers are very friendly and despite having a lot on their plate accommodate pretty well. The espanol omelette was the only dish I haven’t liked so far. The wildberry bliss pancake is a must-try. The toasts and the chilaquiles are also also good.

Andrew

One of the best breakfast places I have ever been. Have been here a few times. Definitely worth a trip.

Brandie Behan

This place has a great menu, too much to choose!! The portions are large you will not go hungry here, lol!! I recommend arriving before 9am if you don't want to wait in line, we arrived at 8:45a and were seated immediately and then we watched the front entrance fill up. No complaints about the food or the service both were great, we will definitely visit Wildberry again.

Shipra Agrawal

Amazing food. Amazing service. Amazing place.

Mohsin Khan

Wait time is pretty long on the weekends so be there early or expect a 1-2 hour wait. The food is definitely worth the wait. Absolutely delicious. Juice was fresh, pancakes were fluffy and tasty, and bacon was crispy and delicious. You won't need syrup for the pancakes and they are already sweet and full of flavor.

sunny morgan

W Makela

Great food at a good price. Portions are a little big for travelers who cant take food home

Kinjal Patel

Tasty Americano and delicious sausage. My wife and I had a very good meal here

Brad and Kelly Wall

Love this place near the modern art museum!

jason mejias

Awesome food and atmosphere. Food is very delicious. Our waitress was amazing and beautiful. She made sure we were good in what we ordered.

Body Beyond Fit

I went there yesterday arrived at 10:30 AM made a reservation for 1 person the Hostess said it would be an 1 hour and 15 minutes. My husband decided to join me I went back and just updated it for two people and the Hostess said, it wouldn't effect the time however, this wasn't true the time started all over again. We didn't get seated until 12:20PM. We asked to speak with the manager he told me this was impossible. I made a screen shot of my phone on the time I arrive as proof of my check in. He walks away and come back and still says it couldn't have been 2 hours that would never happen. He was defiantly lacking customer service skills . He never said, I apologize that you had to wait so long . I understand it has been a inconvenience. This should've happen to you.

naimath khatoon

the food was awesome and it is worth all your money

Essence M.

Everyone loves this place. All of the food is made to perfection that is why the line is always so long. Just wait it out, you won't be disappointed. Every time I post a picture of my meal, people are stunned. They give healthy portions, totally delicious all of it. I get a combo with two eggs, hashbrowns, turkey sausage and specialty pancakes. (Don't judge me that's the offer on the menu!). Never have I left disappointed.

Laura Madsen

Great breakfasts. Tons of options. Hit early to avoid the rush. We liked it so much went 2 times

Dominique Rochon

Great service!! Delicious food!! Got the pumpkin spice pancakes and the hot apple cider, and it was amazing!!! BEST PUMPKIN SPICE PANCAKES AND APPLE CIDER EVER!!!

Glen Mon

Awsome ! The food is food and big size

Zebbie and her amazingly normal family

This place is a really good all around breakfast place however it was a little pricey at $42 for breakfast! The atmosphere was nice and relaxed loved the music. Everything is super clean which I love! The staff are pretty and friendly!

Rod Ferrari M

OUTSTANDING!! CANT GET ANY BETTER BREAKFAST...

Jacob Matthew Drum

Perfect breakfast. Everything was delicious and the staff was just as sweet as the pancakes!

Dhruv Thanawala

One of the best place to have breakfast! Amazing service. Good food! Good quantity and even better quality.

chad svastisalee

Early risers and coffee fans will appreciate the endless cup of coffee. Been fortunate to dine Al fresco, several times. Enjoyed no waiting with a recommendation of arriving prior to 9:30 am. Service is friendly and attentive, menu has many meat and vegan options to choose from. Tried the Brisket Hash and eggs, Belgian Waffle and fruit platter. There's no skimping on the 12 hour brisket or mixed berries, portions are generous with enough food to feed 4. Our hash came with a side of pancakes... which will be enjoyed at a later time. Rarely has a breakfast place hit on all levels and Wildberry certainly delivered!

Raheem Lakhani

Everything was amazing. We got three variations on the pancakes (wildberry, blueberry Danish, and key lime) and all 3 impressed. The brisket skillet was phenomenal. Been craving brisket like that for weeks since. And of course the staff was super accommodating (see plate full of jalapenos below

Raymond Brookins

Food is delicious, great friendly staff. Whenever I'm in downtown Chicago, this is the place to go for breakfast

Dennis Masella

Great service, great food delivered quickly and hot. Pancakes fluffy, the skillet filled with veggies, eggs perfectly cooked. And this was on a Saturday morning with the place packed and a line out the door. Eustace, our server, was a ray of sunshine!

Shelley Sims

Great food, huge portions. Fresh. Thick, well cooked and generous portion of bacon. Signature crepes were so delicious. Freshest fruit I've ever had in a restaurant. Very friendly and attentive service . Would definitely recommend!

Erick maradiaga

Oh my God the pancakes they're so delicious

Stephanie Hill

Awesome food, huge portions for the sharer. You will leave happy and want to go back.

matthew brown

You need to go on the proper day or it will take forever to get in this joint.

Yvette Butler

If your in Chicago this is a must for breakfast, it is well worth the wait to be seated you will not be disappointed. Ask for Diego to serve you, he's the best!!

Faisal Sherif

Must have the chorizo skillet. It's bland but it's good if you top it off with some of the salsa they give you.

Andy Whipp

Food was absolutely amazing! My wife and I had gotten the red velvet French toast, corn beef hash skillet with mixed berry pancakes. Staff was very friendly and service was great for how busy the place is! Make sure to put your name in online to hold a spot, save a lot of time.

Kiki Marely

Food here was so delish! Skillet & pancakes were the best!! I was visiting a friend in the city. Will make sure to come for brunch or breakfast here every time I’m in! Very clean & service was great ! Marco took great care of us !

Moosa Zubairi

Loved the food. The wait on Sunday morning wasnt too bad. Food arrived quickly. Great service.

David Dean

Very busy but moves fast. Excellent service and food. Breakfast that hits the spot!

Sanjeev Balakrishnan

The food is amazing! We went back twice in 3 days! The kids menu is amazing so if you have little ones you should point them towards that - they even have Oreo smores pancakes. I have to point out that the staff was excellent about making adjustments to the menu if you have any dietary restrictions. Also, try their freshly squeezed OJ!

Suzanne Partosa

Had a breakfast at this place. Very cozy and the food was good. Customer service is fantastic.

Kim Jenkins

Visiting from Baltimore. Had a wonderful breakfast experience here! Food was great! Service was great! And the cleanliness of this restaurant is outstanding!!!! No dirty vents, dusty surfaces, etc. It is very obvious they are serious about the cleanliness. We have eaten in many establishments and haven't seen anything close. Will definitely be returning if we're in Chicago again. :o)

Garnet Rose

Came here for the first time. The food was incredible and we have rarely had such amazing service. The hot apple cider is mind blowing. So happy with everything about this place, and our fantastic waiter Cholie. Definitely will come back.

Stephanie V

Quick service and great selection. Staff very friendly and made excellent recommendations. Coffee was nice and hot, and was constantly being refilled. Large portions for a reasonable price. Highly recommend the Rutherford omelet

Greta Hill

Omg ..the food was Amazing.. & they give you so much that you're definitely going to have leftovers!

Gabriela Nubling

This place is amazing. Food is delicious. You can go wrong with any dish... Pancakes are a must have and you can go crazy and order different pancakes flavors, you won't be disappointed. Service was fast and even though they got one of our order mixed up they promptly fixed right away, no fuzz. I only gave 4 star cause lines are ridiculous long, take forever, and their line system is not really good... Wish they have another way so people could have a better experience.

Joseph F

The best breakfast spot in Chicago...possibly the best breakfast ever. Just be prepared to wait up to an hour or more for a seat. Once your in though....you won’t regret it!

My Hanitizer

Great place to eat and to chill, prices are reasonable for the area, the service is decent and the menu is impressive. A great spot for a meal in the morning or early afternoon. They close early by two and the lines can get long but they move quickly. Again I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, this place offers in the heart is the busy part of town.

Nancy King

I like to try different things when I go out to eat. This vegan breakfast meal was AMAZING! I usually am not a big breakfast/brunch eater, however I finished this entire meal. The beverage selections are great - Oreo Mint Espresso Smoothie for me (perfect for the sunny / hot day while sitting outside to dine). Guillermo our server was absolutely phenomenal - very attentive and pleasant.

Jim Aldridge

Good eggs Benedict. Cooked to order. Competent but not overbearing service.

Ahmad Nashif

I heard a ton of rave reviews before visiting Chicago regarding this restaurant and was excited to visit. The lines are not to be played with here and I highly, highly recommend placing your name on the waitlist, which we did via Yelp. The interior is large and though the restaurant was filled, we did not feel too closed in. Service is very quick to ensure as many patrons as possible, but you do not feel rushed in ordering or completing your meal. I opted to go with an omelette which I regretted, not that it wasn't good, it just didn't seem to be their staple item. It came with a side of pancakes and fruit and I opted to go with chocolate pancakes, which were overly drenched with chocolate chips. This location is ideal and near the lake, which makes it perfect for a brunch and outing afterwards.

Malissa

Definitely share! Huge portions, and so many amazing sounding meals that it's difficult to choose. Hubby and I shared the corned beef hash skillet, with berry bliss pancakes. ($2 upcharge for specialty pancakes instead of plain - very reasonable!) Daughters shared nutella crepes and brioche French toast with peaches. Also great to note for those who eat low-carb or keto, any dish that comes with hashbrowns, you can sub cauliflower hash for $1. There is also a gluten-free pancake option. Great, efficient service!

J B

We had to wait about a half hour but it was worth it. Food and service were great.

Mark Holmlund

Wonderful staffalked greeted me as if I was a regular. The Denver skillet was pretty good as were the pancakes. Portions were large and the price was on par with the rest of downtown Chicago.

Shayne Spencer

Great and quick service. Huge plates and affordable prices.

andres lopez

Love the food. Great price for what you actually get.

Nate Moreno

Be ready to wait, this popular breakfast spot gets very busy! But it's well worth the wait for sure!

Abdulrahman Al-Ghamdi

They have one of the best pancakes I ever tried, I also got a caramel latte that was decent Highly recommend if you are in Michigan ave

TJ C

Very good food, with large portions

sidhi pandita

This is one of my favorite brunch spots. This branch is fairly new and the wait isn’t as bad as the other one (next to millennium park). You can join the waitlist online (expect a 30 minute wait) and then when you show up you may still need to wait 10 minutes or so to be seated. This is only for the weekends, weekdays are fairly open. The food is great each time. Highly recommend the berry bliss pancakes/crepes - they’re the best you’ll eat!

KR H

Please please pleaseeee try the vegan breakfast hash... I'm not vegan but that onr blow me away! Nice service and a huge choice of drinks and food. 100% recommended

Lorieal Green

Delicious breakfast in a beautiful two story space. Everything we ate was really good.

Rivka Ligier

Coffee was good and pancakes were good as well. We got the plain ones with chocolate chips. Ended up taking off the chocolate chips because it made the pancakes too sweet. Also, one order of pancakes is more than enough to share with two people.

Steve Damron

Greatest Pancakes around!! No Joking. You must try them. A lot of the orders will give you a side of them which is a lot. Also, you have got to try the coffee. Fabulous.

Luke Cho

Great place to grab breakfast/brunch before heading over to Millenium Park since it's right across the street. Get their popular 'Signature Berry Bliss' pancakes, Butcher Block skillet, and any of their delicious Eggs Benedicts.

Alyssa Hiltunen

Great food, great service. One of the best cups of coffee I've had. Server filled my coffee and water before either were half way empty everytime. Definitely reccomend

Lori Baxter

Very fancy! Was a wonderful place to visit. Wish I could have spent more time there

C Novak

Friendly as can be. Fast service. Lots of coffee refills. Didn't try to rush us out. So glad we found this place on a weekday morning. Family and group-friendly as well.

Michael Goetz

Butcher block with cinnamon roll pancakes.... Perfection

kari Willis

I absolutely love this menu! Anything you can think of and it's all great!

ladiimj93

Eggs cooked exactly the way I wanted. I like that everyone pitches in to help at this restaurant. Like I had multiple servers who made sure I was okay.

Randy Ross

Many of the pancake selections are available in smaller portions as a side dish. Food and service is always good!

Maria Sidoti

One of my favorite meals in Chicago! Traveling on business I went out to grab breakfast alone. I used Yelp and found Wildberry Pancakes wasn’t too far from my hotel. I wanted a good meal before heading to the airport. I was seated right away but by the time I left, there was a wait. Go early but if there’s a wait - it’s worth it! The service was outstanding! The food was quick, hot and delicious! The hash browns were homemade and the banana chocolate chip pancakes were absolutely decadent. Well worth the calories! I will absolutely come back here next time I’m in Chicago.

Logan work

Expensive, but the service was decent. The food was great no complaints here

Bhavin Gandhi

Service was good, server was good, skillets lacked some flavors but overall it was good. Pancakes were the best

Delia Rico

Chicago downtown next to the Ritz Carlton. And the plates are HUMONGOUS like for 3 people. I had the daily omelette and it had 5 egged plus mushroom, onions, mozzarella and guess what?!? You get 2 pancakes and a side.

Truman Gerholdt

Always a nice hefty breakfast. The wait staff is friendly. The food comes out quickly. The menu has lots of options. Hot coffee and decent pancakes. We go here almost every time when staying at the ritz next door. Definitely a good place for a quick breakfast.

Heather May

We loved this place. The wait was surprisingly fast for how busy they were and definitely worth it. We had the Eggs Benedict, Key lime pancakes and Skillet with Smores pancakes. The service was great and we will definitely revisit next time we're in Chicago.

Alexandria Kelly

You can't go wrong with any of the pancake flavors. So tasty!

Alex Knapp

Great selection, great food, great service and pretty good prices to boot

Nick McCoy

This place was packed but the service is excellent, the food comes out quick and high quality! Our go-to breakfast destination while in Chicago! The pancakes melt in your mouth and the skillet's are hearty and delicious.

A- Aron

The food was great. The coffee was not so good. Service was good. The cafe has a large space indoors and a few tables outside. The pancakes are great and topped with powdered sugar. The minced h and eggs was filling and cooked properly. I appreciated having the choice between hash browns or fruit. I wish more places gave you the option of fruit.

Sallie Liebsack

The perfect setting for a tourist! The patio is BEAUTIFUL! The food is perfectly flavored and perfectly cooked! The service is AMAZING! The wildberry jam is a MUST try! ON top of it all, I went back for coffee the next morning ❤ an easy in and out. The service was very enjoyable 2 days in a row! The hostess and servers PAY attention and they look you in the EYES during the conversation!

Mark Swift

First trip to Chicago and we love trying local or unique restaurants in our travels. Wow we couldn't have picked a better breakfast spot! We got an omelet and pancakes. A lot of food and it was all amazing. Will definitely be back here again if we come back through Chicago again.

Traci Brown

Great breakfast! Best omelette I’ve ever had! Loved the cauliflower hash!!! Ate at noon today and still full at 7 pm tonight! Great price point as well! Terrific all around! Only had to wait about 10 minutes during peak time. Will definitely go back!!

Jennifer Hersh

My skillet was amazing and my waiter was outstanding! Well worth the wait - I'll definitely be back!

Natalie On

Typical American fast food breakfast place, expect standard service booth type seating and huge portions. Nothing unique to this branch as it serves consistent food as you expect from a chain, 2 floors and can seat a large number of people. Popular with families and people from out of town due to the central location.

Ray Garcia

Great tasting pancakes. Right next to our hotel, easy walking distance. Definitely return!

Andy Pell

Good food and friendly service.

Lindsey Rainey

Food was brought to us quickly and was delicious! Portions were big so we took home leftovers. Lots of options as well. Great spot to go if you're visiting!

Eric Lee

Huge portions and long wait. Everything was good but not worth the wait imo. I wouldn't likely come back but that's just because I don't live near here. I could see making this a regular brunch place on a monthly basis.

Katie Martinez

Fantastic breakfast. Service was great and the food was so so good. The churro french toast sticks are beyond delish. Will definitely return on our next time in town.

Alexis Turner

Very good. Just not a fan of the omelettes. But the speciality pancakes and French toast were amazing!

Eric Webb

Awesome food. Well worth the wait! Carry out available!

Kevin S

One experience. Cost $$$, perhaps reflecting overall location. Had pancakes with basic fresh fruit. No extra super sweet toppings.

joycetta dinwiddie

Food is good staff is professional and courteous very crowded on the weekends.

Ilona S

This place has a great super service! Fun, smiley! Not last their food on the menü is just delicious! Comes is huge portion amd its definitly worth the price! Watch out for food-coma! :) Next time Im back in Chicago I will for sure go back! Thank you to all staff for an amaizing experience and keep up the great team work! Well done!!

cleveland roberts

Good food, Good service. Very generous portions. Reasonably priced!

Matthew Adams

Wow. This was suggested to us and very happy it was. Both kids thought it was amazing and wife said, "this is the Best salad I have ever had". If that is not a ringing endorsement I don't know what is. The meals are fairly big so consider sharing. Everything is made fresh as well. There are two in Chicago check out Yelp for waitlists, they get busy. Worth it though on all levels.

C J

Good experience. Enjoyed the food. The staff provided a positive and professional experience for me and my family. Nice work.

Tiffany Kuo

Amazing pancakes and very large portions for the price. The wait however was extremely long even with a reservation which showed inaccurate wait time. I'd only come back if it weren't on a busy weekend.

Fab Chick

The food is really good....among the best breakfast / brunch spots in the city. But be prepared to wait... EVEN if you use the wait list feature on the Yelp app, you WILL spend quite a bit of time in a line. So grab a Starbucks beforehand... I'm sure they'll understand...maybe. And if you're planning a special anniversary or going on a romantic breakfast date w/ that special someone, your conversation will be quite limited, as it can get pretty loud and bustling, especially when filled to capacity.

Patty DeCamp

Great food and service!

Avi Moskovitz

Loved it!! So yummy and I couldn't be happier

Caity Todd

Came to Chicago for a few days and we always had breakfast here. Food was incredible and the staff were so lovely! Would definitely recommend!

JOE BURGESS

Food was delicious and good size portions

Brad Joubert

On a visit to Chicago July 2019, food was good and service was professional. I hand the espanola. Ingredients were fresh and well prepared. I particularly enjoyed the fresh avocado and cilantro. Prepare yourself for a long wait as we hand to wait an hour. Common for time of day and visiting on the 4th of July.

Decal Commander

Similar to iHop but kinda pricey. Great food, some misleading descriptions...It says cheaper joint online but it was still pricey.

Curtis Hudson

Food and service was great as usual

Nate Scheidler

I am always on the lookout for the best breakfast place wherever I travel. Wildberry does not disappoint. I walked in the door and one of the first things they offered me was a NEWSPAPER. I didn’t read it for long as the service was very prompt, but it’s a wonderful touch. The space is airy and bright, excellent light from its massive windows facing south towards the MCA. I ordered up the caramel apple pecan pancakes after vexing over the many delicious sounding options on the menu, and hash browns after seeing another patron receive a hefty side of them along with his waffle topped with a veritable mountain of berries (no, that isn’t an exaggeration). The food portions are more than generous, most meals seem big enough for 2 so bring an appetite and a friend or 2 to share with since you’ll want to try as much as you can off their menu! The minor ding that I wouldn’t knock a star for is the use of plastics for the condiments... I’m hoping they switch to paper or something they can wash and re-use. Same for the straws.

Isha Gujarati

Portions are huge and food tastes great!

Lichaun Trotter

The food is great and they move very quickly in there.

Tiffany SO

Wild Berry was great for breakfast! The portions are large and the berry pancakes were a great treat!

Best breakfast in Chicago hands down!!!! Everything from coffee to desserts.... ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! Oh yeah and service is great too but be aware of the times you choose to go. It could be a 15-20 minute wait or a 2 HOUR WAIT.... ridiculous but the food is so worth it, not for 2hrs....LOL. Enjoy!!!

Had the Mexicana skillet with the blueberry bliss pancakes and all I could think of is never having to srop eating this amazing food. It's so good. If I could come here every morning for breakfast I would.

Great food and good service! I went back for a second visit. The waffles are highly recommended.

Chris Brickey

What an amazing experience we had and this place was busy! The food was a 5 star and the staff was Very professional as they all interacted with My one year old daughter as she smiled and played with all of them. We will definitely go back me and I highly recommend

Fantastic! When in a pancake house... the berry key lime was awesome! Definitely worth the wait. Use Yelp to get in line before you go.

Tom Mullally

Very good. Quick service

Madeline Perkins

I make sure to come here every time I’m in Chicago. It usually has a wait but it’s so worth it! The pancakes are amazing. The butcher block scramble was incredible too. They do a great job taking care of every table and moving through the wait list as quickly as possible. This stop is across the street from a park, which helps if you’re waiting with kids!

Dr Kimberly Joseph

The food was excellent tremendously large portions recommend sharing!

Randy Reinke

Very close to our hotel so we gave it a try and it was very good. Portions were huge so unless you have a big appetite you may want to share. In our case we each saved half and had the leftovers for breakfast the next day.

This is an amazing spot for those looking for a diner feel food or craving great breakfast options. the service is amazing at the top it off the portions of the food are bigger than expected. Pictures below order famous wildberry pancakes and something egg Benedict. Just in case for those who are not familiar with Chicago's service charges, please make sure you have an extra 10.25% Sale's Tax plus an 18% service charge.

Amazing is not strong enough to highlight the food and overall experience. Good portion sizes, wonderful coffee and considerate service.

Best breakfast I've ever had. If you can endure spicy, I recommend the Mexicana skillet (something like that). I split it with my wife. The chorizo is the best I've had. It comes with toast or two pancakes. We did the pancakes. Wow! I can understand people complaining of the price. You are basically getting two meals, so the price makes sense. People complained of the wait, but you can use Yelp to get in line before you arrive. It even shows you how many people are ahead of you and how long before you need to be there. We walked Right in. Great service, too.

Good food at a good price. Great service. I'll be back.
