Ok food and great service in a warm and inviting environment. We had the Greek Skillet and Rob’s omelette. We substituted toast for 1 pancake. To be honest the food was average except for the pancake which was delicious. My advice would be to stick to something sweet.
I have been here more than once and there is nothing better than a basic breakfast dinner with a decent menu. No frills, love the hash. No rush
A charming and cozy spot right in the heart of Deerfield, Illinois! While visiting my sister, my wife, son, and I searched for a breakfast place and came across the Cherry Pit Café. Among all the options, it stood out not only for the appealing menu but also for the best value.
Love coming to this place. As a small business owner, I have come to appreciate non-chain restaurants where the service and food is consistent and the atmosphere makes you feel very comfortable. This is my go-to.
Really good service and great food! Fresh ingredients. They cater to all your requests and can accommodate large groups. The menu has so much diversity. We come here once a year since it’s far but we have events near by and it’s a perfect brunch place. Cool décor and very cozy.
I am so happy my husband picked this beautiful small local cafe for the family to have breakfast. Service was excellent. Staffs felt like family members. Such wonderful people. I had the best pancake. I could never find a place where they serve a pancake i like back home. Definitely going to miss this cafe.
Old place with classic ambience and the food is appetizing.
Very personable people, a family owned restaurant with excellent breakfast/ brunch menu and decent for lunch as well. Ordered chilaquiles with chicken. It was awesome. Service was excellent. Would go there anytime esp for brunch
Loved the red stools of the old school diner look, fun vibe to eating at the counter. The other half of the restaurant has tables w a more traditonal atmosphere. Big menu w lots of options, great spot that I can't believe I've missed all these years!
This is a pretty decent local diner. Nothing particularly special but the food is pretty good and the service is reasonable. I got a make your own omelette.
