1. Stacked, 5273 W 95th Ave., Oak Lawn | 4 Stars

Kristin M., of Chicago, says: “This place is amazing! The French toast is amazing. I always get the red velvet French toast but my whole family is obsessed with their banana bread French toast. During the fall they have a pumpkin spice French toast and that’s probably the best thing I’ve ever eaten. I wish they had it year round! The only bad part about this place is that there’s always a wait! I ordered breakfast from there to go and that was fast if you don’t feel like waiting.”

2. Niko’s Breakfast Club, 4002 W 111th St., Oak Lawn | 4 Stars

Anthony S., of Denver, CO, says: “Niko’s is homey type of diner that immediately makes you feel like you’ve been coming here for 20+ years. I ordered the frittata Santa Fe which is essentially an open-faced omelette with green onion, bell pepper, avocado, cheese and bacon. It also comes with crispy fried potatoes. All of these were fantastic, but the X factor was their salsa! I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor of what seemed to be homemade salsa. It complimented my frittata so well. No matter what you’re getting I would ask for a side of that. Yummy! Side note - roosters...everywhere!”

3. Whitney’s Cafe (inside the Hilton Oak Lawn), 9333 S Cicero Ave., Oak Lawn | 4 Stars

Damian P., of Chicago, says: “Been here a handful of times and can honestly say, I HAVE NEVER been disappointed! The food is absolutely wonderful, the portions are good for the price but the wine list is beyond great!

“They have remodeled and it seems that they took this place to another level; I absolutely think that they are on the right track since the remodel. They have this one shrimp (GIGANTIC) in a kind of molasses that is beyond any shrimp I have ever had. The staff there really knows how to serve as well as be courteous and I am really impressed that they know the wine list the way they do. That is a big plus in my book.

“Definitely worth a try if you are in the mood for a bit more upscale neighborhood place. And its inside the Hilton of Oak Lawn, who’d of guessed?”

4. Maple N Jams, 6814 W 87th St., Burbank | 4 Stars

Kristin M., of Chicago, says: “I came here with my sister early Sunday morning. We originally wanted to go to Stacked but the wait was too long. Yelp to the rescue! We found this place and decided to try it because it had excellent reviews. We were seated right away and the food was delicious. I ordered the pumpkin pancakes and my sister had some sort of apple cinnamon French toast. I think I might have found a new breakfast place!!!

5. Flap-Jacks, 4710 W 95th St., Oak Lawn | 3.5 Stars

Samar S., of Oak Lawn, says: “This was our first time here and it was delicious. Oak lawn needed a classy breakfast place like flap jacks. We came in and got seated immediately. The staff was very friendly and our waiter Cano was perfect! He was friendly, patient and checked in frequently without disrupting us. So happy we stopped in today! We will be back!!!”

When it comes to a solid, hearty breakfast you can’t go wrong here as this is a quintessential BREAKFAST joint.

6. Les Brothers Restaurant, 8705 S Ridgeland Ave., Oak Lawn | 3.5 Stars

Steve L., of Oak Lawn, says: “My wife and I have breakfast here probably 10-12 times per year (sometimes dine-in and sometimes carry out) and have always left feeling satisfied. We normally order omlettes, unless of course it is PUMPKIN PANCAKE season! The omletes are always fresh, fluffy and loaded with filling. The service has always been helpful and attentive regardless of how crowded the restaurant may have been at the time. If you happen upon Les Brothers in the fall, we both highly recommend the pumpkin pancakes... they are EXCELLENT!”

7. Skillet House, 10931 S Cicero Ave., Oak Lawn | 3.5 Stars

Breakfast C., of Oak Lawn, says: “We then had to disperse to prepare for the ending of the breakfast scout formerly known as Frank. The Skillet House was a wise choice for this outing. It was local, quick and accommodating. I found the Polish Skillet to be the perfect greasy, fatty, eggy dish that would hold me over until the reception. Frank also enjoyed his Special Skillet on his special day. Guitar Man and Moose also were pleased with their #2 Specials. The Handy Dutchman, who I think said two words this entire time, enjoyed his apple cinnamon crepes.

“The service was good, quick and unobtrusive despite the fact I was scolded for “not smiling.” Sorry, breakfast blogging is hard work. All in all, The Skillet House gets a hearty rating of 3.75 Brent faces. (Check out the breakfastrules blogspot)
