Overall 5 stars!! The food was wonderful, I ordered the Berry Bliss Crepe and it was amazing!! The wait time they told us was accurate, and the food my family ordered was also greatly enjoyed. The waiter was kind and helpful in navigating a gluten friendly order. All in all a very nice place to sit and eat, the mood was lovely and I'd go again!

Took my sailor here for breakfast today and everything was wonderful. I checked wait times on yelp and was pleased that it was accurate. We were seated immediately. (Approx 9:30 am friday). My son ordered a chai latte with peppermint and then for our food we had the butcher block skillet with toast and a build your own omelette with pancakes and hash-browns. It was so much food! Between the two of us we maybe ate half of it? The food and drink were really tasty and the food came quick even though they were busy. My omelette was really yummy and it looked really pretty too. Love that they have a seasonal menu with some fun food and drink options. They also have a coffee stand up front and you can order a Beverage while you wait for a table as there was definitely a wait by the time we were leaving. Even though the restaurant was busy it felt homey and had a good atmosphere. The folks working were very friendly and congratulated my son. They do have a military discount too which was nice.

Nice place to meet up with friends over the holiday season. They have plenty of breakfast & lunch options on their extensive menu. They can also tailor items to your dietary needs. It wasn't busy on the weekday we went but I would say to put reservations in as it does get pretty busy at this popular place. We were greeted nicely by Riley and seated in a comfy booth. I had a Mexican omelette with turkey sausage vs pork sausage and selected fruit vs hash browns and pumpkin pancakes. The salsa was made inhouse and had a nice kick to it. The pumpkin pancakes were good although I would have preferred them without the sweet whipped stuff they put on top and on the 2nd pancake as it was waay too sweet for me. The omelettes were filled very generously. My friend had an omelette too with the choc. chip pancakes. The food was nicely presented by our server who was super at explaining the menu, serving our food hot, making sure we had hot coffee and checking on us.

This place has never disappointed with the food. They pack their dishes with all the goods, especially the sweet ones. The portion sizes are perfect and the prices are very reasonable. Also always super tasty! Although, there is always a wait so if you go, make sure to set your place in line through Yelp or make a reservation first so you aren't waiting 30 min - 1 hour. The -1 is because of the busyness of it (especially on weekends) and because of this fast pace, it can feel like the employees are rushing to get you out.

So yummy! I got two eggs any style, scrambled with sausage links with fruit and pancakes as the sides. Perfect breakfast! I love the mix of sweet and savory. The pancakes were the perfect sweet touch at the end! Service was great and quick. Restaurant and bathrooms were both clean. Will be back!

I've been a fan of Wildberry for probably the better part of a decade, primarily dining in because I love the atmosphere, but have on occasion done carry-out/delivery when I needed to be more flexible on time. From the coziness and decorative winter holiday seasons to the summertime patio experience, I've shared many great memories with friends and family over meals here, essentially memorializing it as one of my favorite brunch places of all time. Because of the nostalgia factor, I know I can't help but be a bit biased in my review. But if there's one word to describe Wildberry throughout all of my meals, it is definitely consistency. I can't say I've ever noticed a change in either the quality or the quantity of food, and that's in the best way possible because my first impression was fantastic. Even during covid times when many places were forced to cut expenses, which usually came with either cuts to staffing and/or quality and quantity of the food, Wildberry never wavered. It's actually a bit uncanny how they've been able to maintain this same level of excellence for so many years (at least here at the Libertyville location) but props to them for figuring out a system that works! While I've tried many of their menu items over the years and really appreciate their seasonal menu rotations (in both food and drinks), my favorite Wildberry meal is their Espanola omelet with extra crispy hashbrowns, a side of berry bliss pancakes, and some extra jalapenos on the side (probably not worth the $ for the extra jalapenos but I like the extra kick). I'd usually accompany that with a cup of coffee or one of their seasonal drinks. One thing I'd recommend, especially on weekend mornings, is to sign up for their waitlist prior to arriving because of how busy it can get. As of this year, their parking situation has gotten a better with their parking lot expansion but given how popular this place is, keep in mind that even that can still get full at peak hours.
