Post #1 - April 30th, 2008, 9:13 amAny decent breakfast spots on/near North Ave between 294 & 59? I've been to Olde North Pancake House. Thanks in advance.

Post #2 - April 30th, 2008, 9:17 amI was gonna suggest Olde North too, that's my favorite.
In Elmhurst, about a 1/2 mile south of North Ave(64) and just east of York Rd is an Egg Harbor. A very good breakfast place. It's in the middle of downtown Elmhurst next to the Walgreens. http://www.eggharborcafe.com/

Post #4 - April 30th, 2008, 7:36 pmI would suggest Christophers at 691 N. York in Elmhurst. It closes at 3. Egg Harbor is good, but my go to place is Christophers. They get me in and out quicker than any place in town.
It is about a mile North of North ave., or about 1/4 mile north of 290 on york.
You can't go wrong with either place
Millie's on Lake street in Addson is very good

Post #6 - May 1st, 2008, 7:33 amJust a bit of disclosure - my family has known the family that has owned Millie's for years. That being said, objectively, this place is good. It's family owned (obviously) and I believe, on their 3rd generation. It's a pancake house with a Scandinavian influence. I haven't been in years but I think next time I'm out there, I'll pop my head in. Enjoy.

My favorite breakfast place in that area is Red Apple, which is just south of North and Schmale. Their skillets are top notch (I'm partial to the corned beef hash skillet) and they have a really good stuffed french toast. Definitely recommended.

Post #8 - May 2nd, 2008, 7:49 amIt's been a while since I've been, but let me second Christophers. Excellent feta cheese and spinach omelette, one of the best I've had in Chicago area. Gotta go back and try anuther one of these days."The fork with two prongs is in use in northern Europe. In England, they’re armed with a steel trident, a fork with three prongs. In France we have a fork with four prongs; it’s the height of civilization." Eugene Briffault (1846)

I'll second that rec. That used to be the only place we would go for breakfast when we lived close by. I think it may be my out-of-town-MIL's favorite place around here, period. We miss it now that we moved. Decent biscuits and gravy, and baked apple pancakes were our favorites, but everything was always good.
