On the contrary, this is not weird or strictly a juice-joint. This, my friends, is the family restaurant in Willowbrook, Il where the Great Sandwich Factory used to be, oh, circa six years ago. Now, it is a family brunch restaurant, open daily until about 2pm. I have been here on numerous occasions and tried a wide variety of their menu offerings: from skillets and oatmeal to paninis and crepes, and even their greek yogurt, granola, and fruit bowl! The best, however, are the free sugar donut bites you receive upon being seated, much like you receive a bread basket upon entering a nice dinner restaurant. These are not large donuts, but they're warm, delicious and with just enough sugar to make your mouth dance and crave more. In fact, should you crave more, 6 donuts are only $1.50, a quick add-on to any perfect breakfast!
When I went with my boyfriend this past weekend, we both ordered something different. He chose the breakfast sliders, complete with sausage patties, overeasy eggs (eggs are made to your liking), and cheese. Their potatoes were equally savory and the perfect compliment to one's morning "burger". I ordered the egg white omelette with spinach and fresh mozzarella cheese...YUM YUM! And there was actually a good amount of cheese in it! I chose the pancake and fruit side, which also meant I walked away from breakfast with leftovers!!!
And, just in case the food alone isn't enough to make your mouth water, the restaurant has a wonderful twist. Along every wall are picture frames filled with sayings and witty one-liners, which simply means that you and your brunch-mates will provide each other with entertainment as you read the restaurant's advice columns to one another.
So, next time you find yourself near 63rd street and Route 83 in Willowbrook, IL, make a point of saving some room for food! And, just be sure you arrive before 2pm or you'll be out of luck for the day, and without free donuts!
