Reviews for Sweet Basil Cafe of Glen Ellyn in Glen Ellyn, IL
The number of 5-star reviews on this place is a complete mystery to me. The food is dreadful. The craziest part is that our... party of 5 ordered a sandwich, a salad, crepes, french toast and eggs, and biscuits and gravy, and each of these dishes wasdisappointing in its own unique way. There are so many dining options in the area. Whether you want breakfast, lunch, salad,sandwich, whatever, you can do better. Read more
By far, the best place to go for breakfast. Not only is the waitstaff (Alex) super nice and attentive, but the food is... absolutely amazing and made to order. Only complaint is go there hungry, because they serve a hell of a lot of food. Give thema shot and I'm sure it will be your favorite place to dine as well. Read more
They were amazing! Definitely get the cheese garlic bread! Marinara sauce needs to be thicker, but taste is good. Nice place and... friendly employees. Had a very nice dinner. Will definitely return. Read more
Huge portion sizes and variety on the menu! Great experience. Highly recommend the banana bread French toast combo with... eggs/bacon! Delish! Also ordered the Hawaiian 5-0 omelet. The pancakes and omelet are enough to eat for leftovers the next day. Read more
This was the best food I've been served all year. As a professional motorcoach driver I visit a lot of restaurants. The... amount and quality of my breakfast was beyond 5 stars. The plate was huge but it needed to be. I ordered the country scramble. There was ham,sausage,and bacon in every fork full. The eggs were tender and fluffy. . My coffee was hot and rich. Breakfast was served still steaming. ???? Cheryl was my waitress, bless her heart she was working the dinning room alone. Butshe was fantastic. Quick, attentive, joyful. This lady knew how to do her job very well. So to the entire staff, I givethis place 10 ????. The cooks came out to host, bus tables and assist. Great job everyone !!! Definitely not overpriced. Worth every penny. Read more
Been coming to this place once a week lately, because the staff is so nice, the food is very good, and they're following covid... protocols well. Sweet Basil has such a wide menu that I could go back every week for a year and likely not try everything.Seriously, something for whatever comfort food mood you're in!! So far the blueberry pancakes, omelets, western burger, andbuffalo chicken egg rolls are our repeat faves. And yes, the portions are BIG. Be prepared to take home enough food for at leastone more meal. ???? Read more
No idea why this place has so many low reviews, this is clearly a 4-5 star Cafe. Amazing food, albeit highly priced, very much... worthwhile. I got a Mediterranean Skillet with toast and I'm amazed with how great this skillet was; best I've ever had. Somecoworkers got crepes and they were extremely satisfied with their meals. Awesome Cafe for breakfast and lunch! I'd like to try aburger next time! Read more
Service was good, eggs were well cooked and the bacon was quite tasty. The service was good and attentive. Two things... detracted from the experience for me. First, the fresh blueberry pancakes, which were huge, were not delicious. I think it isthe "bread" of the pancake I didn't especially like more than the blueberries. And the menu was filthy! I was alone and thus Ionly know about one menu, but if it was representative they really need to spend some time getting food residues and othersticky messes off their menus. Read more
