Katie's Kitchen - Des Plaines

I really enjoyed my experience here. The decor is adorable, and the service is very friendly. I'm not usually a fan of breakfast, but they offer a fantastic menu with plenty of other choices. Surprisingly, even though I generally dislike pancakes, the lemon blueberry pancakes stuffed with ricotta were incredible! I highly recommend trying them. They were simply outstanding! I also ordered a side of bacon, which was cooked to perfection. I can’t wait to return!

We absolutely love the new ambiance and the updated menu, and the best part is the food! We've been coming here for years, but after the renovations, they've truly elevated the experience. We couldn't be happier!

In the picture, you'll see the cinnamon swirl French toast served with a side of hash browns. I've visited this restaurant three times, and each experience has been outstanding. Despite being busy and a little short-staffed today, the wait was definitely worth it.

My kids love having breakfast at Katie's for the Alphabet Pancakes. I highly recommend the cinnamon French toast paired with a cup of coffee.

I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance while driving through the area for the first time. After quickly looking at the reviews, I decided to stop for a late breakfast, and I was not disappointed. The staff greeted me warmly, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was great. I especially appreciated the gentleman who kept my coffee cup full—definitely a big plus for a coffee lover like me! I had a delicious veggie scrambler, and I opted for pancakes instead of toast. Overall, I will definitely be returning!
