| - My first experience with the Windy City Cafe was yesterday (a Sunday). Hubby had been previously and said it was good, so he suggested we go for brunch. We were seated fast, but after that, it took FOREVER for someone to even take our drink order. The busboy actually did it! The joint wasn't THAT busy, so I didn't understand the lack of service. So anyway, finally ordered. I got the country fried steak & eggs with a side of pancakes. Hubs got the corned beef hash skillet. He asked for extra hash browns instead of the toast/pancakes/biscuit&gravy option. The waitress acted like it was a big deal and said she'd ask. It turned out to be ok. Cool. The food came out faster than I expected. Small portions, but with the toast/pancakes/biscuit&gravy option it sorta makes up for it. My food was ok, nothing to brag about. Hubby didn't care too much for his, but it was at least edible. More than I can say for my pancakes! OMG I swear it was like I was sucking on a dirty dish rag. They were awful. I'm not one to waste food, but I couldn't get past a few bites. I have no idea if it was the kind of batter they use, or what, but they seriously need to look into it. I'll never go back for breakfast, but may try their lunch items to see if it's any better at that time of day.
