Had a delightful brunch at Walker Bros in Highland Park! The blueberry pancakes were really good, but the apple pancake was absolutely amazing and was my favorite of the two. Super sweet and delicious, with perfectly caramelized apples that made every bite heavenly. The restaurant has beautiful stained glass windows that really add to the atmosphere and charm of the place. They're definitely worth admiring while you wait for your food. A couple things to note: it does get quite loud inside, so don't expect a quiet meal. Also, if you're planning to come after 9am, be prepared for a wait, this place is popular for good reason!

The best breakfast place in the Chicagoland area, and, dare I say, anywhere. Been going here since I was a kid and it is consistently good. Their pancakes are delicious - so buttery and with chocolate chips, addictive. Omelets are tasty and enormous (see picture). Service is just ok, but the food comes out quick and is so good that service taking somewhat of a backseat is no issue at all. Prices are reasonable, particularly given the large portions you receive. Overall, a must stop. Living in or visiting the Chicago area is not complete without eating a stack of pancakes from Walker Bros.

This is one of the best Breakfast Restaurants we've ever been to as a family. Everyone was extremely satisfied with what they ordered. We also all shared everything so everyone could taste everything. We would definitely road trip to Illinois just for this restaurant. The staff is extremely kind and very attentive. There's a great atmosphere. The stain glass windows are beautiful and surround you in beauty as you wait for your food. This an absolute must try when in the area.

Came here off of a whim, we just got our marriage license and wanted to find a place to grab a bite on our way home. Picked this place as it had 4.6 Stars, and we can see why. The cappuccinos were delicious (they are classic, so no added sweeteners). Added 2 spoons of sugar and they were perfect. As seen, no matter how many times we take a drink. It still keeps its foam head. My lady got the continental. She enjoyed it. I got the eggs Benedict and I can’t see Hollandaise sauce the same again. As no hollandaise tasted as velvety as this one. The pancakes, which we both got with our meal, were as fluffy as a pillow, and as full of air as Aerogel. Great transporters of syrup. All though my portions could be considered small for my Benedict by most American restaurant standards. It made up
