Prairie Cafe

I really enjoyed eating breakfast here All the food was cooked perfectly and tasted great! Staff is very friendly and courteous as well I would definitely recommend trying something on the menu here.

I came upon this café with my boyfriend a while back and I have to say, its the perfect mom and pop breakfast/lunch café. Located in a quiet quaint strip with ample parking. During the summer they even offer outdoor seating to those that would choose. Mimi is always on top of her customer care and knowledge of the menu. You will never have an empty coffee cup and you will always leave in a better mood because of her warm and bubbly personality. That kind of positivity is contagious! Even on slightly busy days, Mimi and her staff work very hard to learn their customers and welcome them back like family. Its very enjoyable observing how warm the staff is to nrw and returning cutomers. This is my favorite breakfast nook now and I know it will be for you too if you truly appreciate a family ho

Ive passed this place a 1000 times and never knew it was there .. I had the Hobo Skillet with over medium eggs and the Chicken salad .. the hash browns were mot seasoned so if u are a salt & pepper person u will have plenty of room to shake away... everything was fresh and tastee .. this is a small quiet place and very friendly staff .. it also has a small deli which the chicken salad for my taste was very light and flavorful.. not overpowering.. but good ..

The Prairie Café in Elmhurst is one of those rare gems hidden in plain sight. The husband-and-wife team are so amazing, we go out of our way once a year to when we are in Chicago to go there for breakfast. Mimi in the front of the house remembers what we like to the person for all five of us. The prices are on the low side and the portions generous. Two things stand out though the repartee with Mimi tops the list, but the nuanced flavors bring back memories of how my mother made it. Eating here is more than getting a great breakfast at a good price, it’s a step back, in time and attitude. It is a full-on experience. Tell Mimi you read the review from the guys that visit only once a year.

I ended up coming here as I had a late start at work! Am I ever glad I walked into this place. The server, Mimi, is something special. She is gracious and kind. She is what makes this place great. She greets you with an incredible smile, a hearty “GOOD MORNING” and her energy is contagious!! I was feeling a little grumpy when I walked in but I have a feeling the rest of my day will be great since it started with this positivity! Mimi is a gem and honestly she makes the food experience even better! Don’t pass this place by if you are looking for a wholesome meal. FYI the place was packed with people on a random Wednesday morning! That’s gotta tell you something!!!
