The Southern Cafe Crest Hill, Il

The food is fantastic, with impressively large portion sizes that could easily suffice for a second or even third meal. The specialty pancakes are definitely worth the extra charge. The service is always friendly, and there's plenty of hot coffee to go around. My only issue is the poor acoustics; there are so many noises that it’s difficult to hear someone sitting right across from you. But when the food is this delicious, you just nod along and pretend to hear—or enjoy the silence!

The food is fantastic, and I always end up taking some home. However, the service has been slightly inconsistent during my last two visits.

Large, hearty portions served super fast. The service was good.

Sat down in The Southern Cafe. Tracy came and sat with me for second, to figure out what I wanted. I ordered! By the time my toast was cooked, I had my meal in front of me. There was a huge plate of food, in front of me. It was hot and delicious. Don’t let the prices fool you, when you sit down with the menu! I could only eat HALF of what they brought me… I will recommend this restaurant to everyone who’s looking for a great breakfast in Crest Hill!!! Thanks!

Lovely food, attentive server and overall nice experience.
