Prairie Cafe Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    We'd never been here before so we decided to use a Plan-it discount as the incentive to give this place a try. The food was good; not great. Went downhill when we tried to use the discount. Although we bought the coupon at the end of January the owner said he doesn't honor these anymore because they weren't effective. So we were out the $10 cost of the coupon and the owner said he wasn't responsible. Not great new customer service which convinced us that regardless that we liked the place fine, we don't plan to return.

    LOVE this place! Everything I have ever ordered here tastes great! I love that they know who I am, and take such great care of my kids when I send them in, too! Have had egg salad, potato salad, roast beef, cheese, tuna salad, turkey -- all is fresh and tasty! Outside tables are nice, and near the Prairie Path, so great for a stop along the way!

    I was not impressed with this cafe at all. I had a very bland tuna sandwich and the cafe doesn't offer an atmosphere that makes up for the food. I left feeling I would have been better off going home and making myself a sandwic

    In my opinion, the reviews of this restaurant are overstated. The food is just marginal. My friend and I both ordered a Denver omelet with fruit and a pancake. The omelet was very chewy. It was a flat omelet (tri-folded), not fluffy. For some odd reason, the pancake was also very tough and chewy. Trust me, it wasn't just my meal, my friend had the same experience. Based on the food alone, I would give this place only three stars. However, the server was super friendly. In addition, this is by far the cheapest breakfast (of this type) that you can buy in town. If you are on a budget, and hell-bent on eating breakfast out, this might be your best choice. My breakfast (Denver omelet, fruit, and a pancake) was only $7.25 including tax. I challenge you to find a better deal for this breakfast. As of this writing there are ninety-six restaurants in Elmhurst. I plan on eating at, and reviewing, every one. Follow me on Yelp! Updated 5/26/15 - I found a cheaper breakfast. The Wildflower Cafe at Elmhurst Hospital, and it's better. Moved this one down to three stars, even though they were super friendly.

    Always delightful staff. Once again a hidden gem near York and Vallette. Their breakfast is always great. They have a super awesome breakfast special that is well worth the price. They have wonderful sandwiches at lunchtime. My favorite is the rueben. Something I'm not sure people realize about this cafe is that they are a deli also. They have great deli meats and salads available for purchase. Kind of a small cafe, but it fits the personality of the owners. They treat you like you are regulars on your first visit, and are genuinely interested in what is going on with you.

    We were pretty excited to try this place for our standard Sunday breakfast. Unfortunately we left very disappointed. The food was standard breakfast fare, nothing impressive. The service was atrocious. There were only two other people in the restaurant yet it took over 30 minutes to get our food to the table. Would definitely not return.

    One of my favorite morning spots to hit up. A husband and wife team are always around and they know how to make the customers feel at home. If you like to hide out, the back has a TV usually on the news or a financial network. George will often come out to check it and chat. His wife Mimi is very friendly, always inquiring about the family and life. Food is always served fresh and hot. They also have a deli counter of meats for sandwiches. Great place!

    I go here a couple times a week with my 2-year old daughter. Very kid-friendly. Food is great and the service is terrific. George and Mimi are the owners and are the best!

    Shocked that there was not a yelp page for Prairie Cafe. Inexpensive, good fresh food, great owners. Good breakfast and lunch selections, and quick service.

    Really good breakfast/lunch spot run by a delightful husband/wife team. Simple food, which is exactly what I want for breakfast. Relaxing/peaceful environment. Sunny/bright interior. They have a $4.99 breakfast special which I ordered - - scrambled eggs, toast, hash browns, and this really awesome ham off the bone. It was great. The coffee was also really good. Couple notes: They use Boar's Head meat for their lunch sandwiches and they make a few homemade soups every day. The service was also really friendly and welcoming. Very kid friendly environment. I thought this place was really inexpensive when compared to other similar restaurants.
