Elly's Pancake House

I paid $31.59 for breakfast here. One person. It included the Meat Lover's Skillet with pancakes instead of toast, large fresh squeezed orange juice, coffee, 20% tip. That's an outrageous amount of money for breakfast. The orange juice was the only thing I enjoyed. The coffee was your standard food service coffee. I did not like the meat lovers skillet at all. Whatever they used to make this did not blend together at all. I could have gone across the street to McDonald's and gotten a couple of McMuffins and better coffee for $8 and enjoyed it much more than this and I'm not a fan of McDonald's. Service and atmosphere were excellent. Food, not at all. I won't be back.

I still think it is better than most places for breakfast but they definitely are not as good as they used to be. My wife had a spinach omelette and I had a corned beef sandwich. My sandwich was very dry and fry’s were cold. I will try it again soon and edit my review. Our waitress was the best

Cant believe I havent left a review for this place before. Been eating here for the past 5 years! The food here is amazing and they have the best fluffy pancakes that other breakfast places cant seem to imitate. Omelette is huge and hashbrowns are crispy and perfect. NOT BURNT like Cafe Fourteen in Palatine. Highly recommend!! This place is also newly renovated and looks much nicer than before. Note that they now charge a 3% credit card fee.
