Katie's Kitchen - Des Plaines

The highlights included their coffee, which is served with real cream instead of the typical pre-packaged options. The coffee service was excellent, although it would be nice to have some available in the waiting area. The staff was fantastic throughout my visit. I enjoyed the omelet; it was fluffy and had a good mix of fillings. As for the pancakes, they were decent but not remarkable. I might try their specialty cakes on my next visit. On the downside, a well-liked place means long wait times on the weekends. I wasn't sure if the syrup served with my pancakes was real maple syrup; if it was, it certainly wasn’t the best I’ve had. Although the portion of potatoes was generous, they lacked flavor and I found myself adding a lot of salt and pepper, ultimately leaving them behind.

I really enjoy this restaurant. The staff is delightful. However, I did find a hair in my food, which can happen sometimes. A suggestion would be to tie back hair while working around food. Our server was incredibly sweet!

A reliable and speedy choice for brunch. I ordered a skillet, and it was perfectly adequate, though nothing out of the ordinary. Our waitress was friendly, and the food was served promptly. With a wide variety of menu items, there's something for everyone!

Nice family brunch, decent kids menu. Husband and I both ordered avocado toast. I asked for eggs over medium and they were super runny. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, and the folks coming around with coffee kept our mugs full.

Went for brunch waited approximately 40 minutes for 2 sandwiches and a skillet. Apparently they were catering a ??? If you are catering a affair please have enough workers scheduled so the patrons in the dining room don't have to wait. Waitress came out with 2 sandwiches then went back for fries, then went back for skillet and didn't look to happy about working there. Not sure if we're going back.
