"2023 UPDATE This place literally NEVER fails, and its still just as amazing as it always is. We ordered to go, they had 3 huge DELICIOUS dinners (bread butter) done in 15 minutes... I love me some 100 South Go eat inside... Go eat outside... Order take out... Just do it, you want to give them your money, lol, and you WILL NOT be disappointed in the slightest. Prices are a bit high, but not in terms of worth, just in terms of numbers... For what you get, its SOOO worth it!!! Plates are gigantic usually enough leftovers for a second meal, food is super flavorful, and service is top notch!!! The thing I love most about this place is that they have found a way to be classy and upscale, but also feel like your at home with family... Its so freaking awesome!!! In the very off chance you aren 't happy, they make it right, no questions asked... They want you satisfied when you walk out their doors. In the late evening, when we like to go, there 's usually some people, including staff, hanging out, laughing, talking, etc, but it never interferes with the quality of anything or the service... If anything, it makes you feel like you want to be included in this fun, fancy club of theirs, lol I have heard some more personal stories by word of mouth and the internet... I 'll just say these are my kind of people!!! I feel like I understand them, I 've been there, I KNOW they 've worked hard, and I TRUELY value their outlook on friends, family, and loyalty. This place is freaking amazing, and so are the people... Trust me, you want to go here!!! Parking: They are located right across from the train station in uptown Elmhurst, and therefore, it can be difficult to find CLOSE parking sometimes, as they have no lot. That being said, there are a TON of free and paid options. Uptown Elmhurst has no shortage of parking garages, they are EVERYWHERE. There are also, at least 1, but I 'm thinking 2 handicap spots right near the front. Kid friendliness: Although they are upscale, they also very much value family. As a mother, I have taken my kid here from the time she was a toddler, all the way to now that she 's 10. As a reasonable person, I just personally wouldn 't go if you know your kid throws tantrums or can 't sit still... Just out of respect for others, because this is more if a fine dining experience and atmosphere."

"During a recent trip to Whidbey Island, we visited both Island Cafe locations - this one and the one in Oak Harbor. When I'm on vacation, I always look for a restaurant that serves a delicious traditional American breakfast, and this place does a pretty good job at that. The restaurant is clean and welcoming, located on a downtown street corner with a charming seaside town atmosphere. We were promptly greeted and seated by a new, eager, and enthusiastic young woman, and our experienced server was friendly and pleasant. After looking through the extensive menu of diner favorites, I decided on a ground chuck steak cooked medium, with hash browns, two eggs over easy, and white toast. My companion opted for a veggie omelet with a side of sausage patty. The food arrived quickly and met our expectations. The portions were generous, the hash browns were flavorful, and my eggs were cooked just right. The ground chuck steak was likely of the food service variety, but it was well cooked and I enjoyed it with some A1 sauce. According to my friend, her omelet and sausage patty (which seemed to be frozen) were decent, but not outstanding. The total bill for both of us was a bit higher than expected, but still reasonable for the meal we had. Overall, the breakfast was satisfying and better than what we would have gotten at Denny's or Shari's. I had hoped for the food to be a bit more unique or memorable, considering it's a locally owned establishment, but for a typical diner breakfast while traveling, there's really nothing to complain about at the Island Cafe."
