Georgie V’s Pancake House

Best. French toast. Ever. And I get the California omelette every time. That worries me if that’s true about it being sold over… Will have to visit to see.

Great 6 egg — white omlette! The veggies I chose were fresh and cooked lightly. The egg whites were a little fluffy for my taste, but cooked beautifully. Spouse’s 3 egg omlette was flat (he likes it that way) and delicious. The gluten-​free pancakes were tasty for such a thing. Highly recommend this place!

I lived downtown Chicago for many years, but now I live in the Northshore. By far, these are my favorite pankcakes. Any time there is a special occasion for the family or a holiday, this is our restaurant of choice. The wait staff is very friendly and welcoming. They are very family oriented, they are patient with kids, the service is phenomenal, and the pancakes are best around.
You will never go wrong here.

The Best breakfast place in the area! Immaculate, prompt and friendly service. Absolutely everything is delicious! Best omelettes, waffles, French toast and pancakes around and Real cream for your coffee!

I was a regular to Georgie V’s for YEARS until the new owners took over, the place has gone down hill in less than a month. He is VERY rude to the customers and the food quality is not what it use to be. Need to find another breakfast spot in the area, but Georgie V’s will NOT be it. I’d be surprised if that place is open in a year with this new owner… so clueless!
Think twice before you spend your money here!

George has sold the business to a new owner. It’s just not the same experience, looks like most the staff is gone too. :-(Wish he told us so we could say good-​bye. George was like a Hawk on top of everything and didn’t miss a thing and the previous servers were outstanding. Everyone was always hopping fast and «with it».
The new owner seems a bit oblivious and clueless, service is extremely slow (waited 15 – 20 minutes for someone to greet me at my table at take my order this week) and the food took longer than expected. I think this owner is going to be left wondering where all the business went.
This will no longer be my top go-​to place anymore, but more of a last resort.

The churro French toast and Dutch Frittata were both unusual and excellent. Very pleasant surprises!

I had the banana bread french toast and my husband had an omelet. Pretty good food and good service. But it is on the expensive side. Good for a special treat

If I could give this place a ZERO i would have — The owner BTW is not a Georgie but a BIG GEORGE –he is the most insulting… he is the owner of a restaurant and has no customer service. I have been coming here for over 10 years — not always happy but like to support our neighborhood spots.
A few times over the years he has been mean to me and also to other customers.
Last year I stopped coming for a few months because he would give me a credit for a bad lox plate– I complained that the lox was grainy and George came over to the table and said no it is not — Did you ever hear of an owner not being sympathetic. He charged me for the awful old fish that I did not eat,.Stopped coming for over a year and then decided I would try again ‚
Saturday morning was the last TIME I will ever walk into that neighborhood coffee shop,
Again THE OWNER became insulting when we could not wait for a table. I had my young grandchildren with me who were already falling apart because they were hungry– we gave our name they said 15 minutes and we waited 5 until the babies started to cry — we walked over to the hostess and said we were sorry we had to leave — Out of NOWHERE comes BIG GEORGE and told us go leave your table is ready now, so I said great thank you, he then said but YOU CAN NOT HAVE IT GO AND LEAVE. Is he kidding —
DON’T GO TO THIS PLACE

Good breakfast, fast and friendly service. Good for a hearty breakfast. We had eggs, bacon and hash browns. Coffee was good, freshly brewed.

This place is fantastic! I found it through Unilocal and thought I would give it a try. We have been several times and even though it is always packed, I’ve never waited more than 10 minutes for a seat. We even went on a Saturday morning and waited just a few minutes. The service is quick and the food comes out fast. The menu has such a wide variety and both things I’ve had there, I’ve loved. I had the churro French toast, and it is absolutely amazing. I’ve also had the Tijuana eggs Benedict. If you like a spicy meal, this is perfect. The owner was incredibly friendly and I enjoyed the experience.

Georgie V’s is a rare breakfast/​brunch spot that’s more than just a diner option, which is pretty common up in the north burbs. The food is different and really interesting, it goes way beyond bacon and eggs. They have great scrambles, and interesting options like breakfast pita, breakfast quesadillas, and churro french toast. It’s a small, inviting environment, and you get your own pot of coffee so you can pour it when you like instead of waiting for wait staff to circulate.
The only issue I have is with the owner, a usually-​gruff guy who turns his back on you at the host stand, stomps to your table, and flings the menus down before turning and walking away, often without a word. The servers here are great, for the most part, so his constant stormy presence stands out.

Really folks, I have been going to this restaurant for 10 years and have been big fan. Today was a whole different story. Ordered the usual veggie egg white omelette with mozzarella cheese. My omelette arrives. Looks beautiful. I take a bite and in addition to the mozzarella there was Feta. I do not like Feta. I asked to return it. Server said there is no Feta in this omelette. He then took it back, brought the same omelette out saying once again there is no Feta in that omelette. Well then I don’t like it. The owner came to the table and asked me what is the problem. I explained best I could, and he sad. there was no Feta. Not ONCE did I receive an apology. They were rude, and he was insinuating that I was wrong. I have a message. Ever hear of customer service and that regardless, the customer is always right!!! Never will I go back. I expect to be treated like a guest. If I don’t like my food, I deserve an apology. Three different times they came back to the table telling ME the customer, that I was wrong. What restaurant owner tells a customer that they are wrong? Crazy… they lost a loyal customer.

The service was great here. Sat down right away at 1030am on Saturday
We ordered the veggie skillet, veggie omelet, berry pancakes and Denver omelette. All were great with great portions.
Pancakes are great! Very very delicious.
Hash browns are not good.

When we got in, we were greeted by a very friendly server. She recommended that we tried to corn beef hash skillet. FYI, the corn beef hash is restaurant home-​made, which makes it pretty special. Let me tell you, i was not disappointed at all! It had so much flavor and the food came out really fast! To be honest, 1 order was enough for two people because it comes with pancakes already. Btw, good and fluffy pancakes. Since we didn’t know we were going to be full we had also ordered the churro french toast with ice cream… OMG. so unhealthy, but so damn good… seriously…where can you find churro french toast??? That’s the first time I seen that lol, It went so well with the vanilla ice cream… SO GOOD. I hope i don’t get diabetes. Anywho altogether a great experience…
Awesome food
Attentive and Awesome server
Fast service for a busy afternoon

Closest thing to a real New Jersey diner in the Chicago northern suburbs! We moved here from Jersey a couple years ago and it’s been tough to find a few neighborhood places we can just go to and grab a quick bite. This place is just that. It’s owned and run by Greeks, (I would guess 95% of all NJ diners are Greek owned) and for whatever reason, they just know how to do it the best. Food is always fast and good, and staff is great. I would say it’s a little nicer than jersey diners, and it may not have all the dishes they do back home, but this place is great.

So this place rocks! I found two breakfast spots in the area on Unilocal with similar ratings but Georgie’s is far, far superior. I hate being a food snob but this place is miles above, with light, fluffy eggs, well prepared hash browns, and great service to compliment it all.
Definitely will come back — the Denver omelette I had here was delicious and just enough cheese in it. I had the pancakes as a side and it was all a ton of food so I was stuffed. Will be coming here as much as I can for breakfast while I am out here for Pinball Expo.

This was a pleasant surprise. My wife and i was visiting the Botanical Garden that day, and decided to have breakfast/​brunch before going there. It was in a small northbrook plaza close to the garden.
They serve the regular brunch food like pancakes, omelets, etc, but we thought it tasted pretty good. Especially their pancake was very rich and filled with flavor. Definitely worth a try.

I had veggie egg omelet and Belgium waffle. The portions were huge and the food was delicious. I craved some belgium waffle and this place made it perfect. The veggie omelet was perfect fluffiness and the veggies are fresh.
Price is a bit high but you do get a lot of food. So the value is is good.

This is a nice little breakfast place and great location. We arrived early and the restaurant was completely empty so we were sat quickly. After exploring the pretty large menu, I decided to settle with the apple raisin oatmeal. My boyfriend ordered the classic egg benedict… he was not even that hungry and ate every bit pretty fast so I assume it was good! My oatmeal was tasty and filling too. I think I would have to try more on their menu but overall it’s good nothing extraordinary.
