| - When you're in Champaign, and you want a quick, cheap breakfast with good service, you come to Merry Anns! I loved coming here all the time in College to do some homework in the morning and get breakfast. The ladies who worked in Urbana side were always very friendly and remembered faces/ orders. At one point they would give me coffee on the house and whip up my order before I even placed it! I know they have 24/7 breakfast, but since I lived in Champaign, I never was apart of the crews who would come in at 3am and much away.
Naturally, when visiting for the summer, I had to go back to Merry Ann's with a few friends and grab hangover brunch. This time, we went to the Merry Ann's on Neil street. The diner on Neil is definitely smaller than the one in Urbana and was much, much more busy/crowded. Still, the waitress was very friendly, and I know I enjoyed my meal! We didn't feel rushed at all to finish, even though the line was out the door and we felt bad if we kept staying around just to talk/ get more coffee.
Unless you're looking at somewhere like Le Peep to get brunch with your parents, I highly suggest Merry Ann's since it is a staple at U of I.
