Jelly Cafe Palatine + Lucky Smash Burgers

We planned a Galentines Brunch for just under 10 and our server, Ember, was phenomenal. She was attentive and kind, allowed us to separate our checks without any pushback and got all of our orders right! She made sure we always had refills and all the food came out together so no one was sitting unsure what to do while others were still waiting. The food was very tasty and you got quite a bit, we all needed boxes to go! We were there until about 10 minutes before closing and no one was ushering us out or being pushy about needing the table. They just let us enjoy our time together without any complications and were incredibly accommodating. I would 100% recommend this place for brunch and gatherings. Thank you Ember and Jelly Cafe!

If you read any review, let this one be your deciding factor. Never in my life have I known such top tier quality in service, food, and care that compares to this place. I have lunch with my father regularly. The wait staff, all the way to the bus boys and hostess staff all treat my father with respect and kindness. They are kind and gentle with him as if he was kin to them. It absolutely warms my heart the absolute kindness this place brings. Their quality of food matches their kindness, unparallelled freshness. Their prices can get a bit pricy sometimes, but for food and the amazing service and kindness they show to the people that mean the most to you, so worth it. If you want to make the most cherished and wonderful moments with your family that you'll remember for a lifetime, let

Large portions: great menu selections, easy atmosphere to actually have a conversation with a friend

We are regulars here with our kids and for good reason. The staff are amazing and makes us feel like we’re going to a family members house for a meal. Food is always consistent, service is warm and the staff make all the difference.

Amazing service and company. Condiments are homemade and the chicken sandwich and burger are also homemade and awesome. Service was amazing by an older gentleman who was very kind and polite. The cook rocks and so does his food. He even came out to greet us. Get your friends here for a pregame before going out becuase the prices are amazingly low for such great food. Highly recommend coming here and will definitely be coming back. My highest compliments to the chef!
