Annie's is a treat. Great food. Outstanding service and a spotlessly clean environment. Veronica is exceptional: friendly, professional, always making sure we have everything as ordered.

This place has a solid atmosphere, and the fruit is very fresh! We had five (5) people no reservation and they were really busy, but they were still able to accommodate us no issue

I'm torn on this one. Do I give them a mediocre review and not encourage more people to eat here (then there may not be a line/ wait to get in when we go) No. That would be selfish!! Bring your biggest appetite to Briana's! The portions are enormous (which , they downplay very well). Country fried steak smothered in sausage gravy? (tear, you had me at hello!) Stuffed strawberry french toast? YES, PLEASE!! Everything was awesome, including, the minimum amount of money that was exchanged for the bountiful feast & wonderful service!!!

I've dined here 8 times already! The last time I was here, was on Sunday, 6/1/2025! Can't get enough of their Filipino breakfasts (which, by the way, I did not find to be greasy-- especially, the crispy eggroll / Lumpia Shanghai one. I've had that one more than once, so I find that allegation to be questionable). I usually order 2 of them each time I come in (the Milkfish with eggs and garlic fried rice and the Longanisa sausage with eggs and garlic fried rice, are my 2 favorites). However, they are all great; I've had them all and will order each one of them again when I go in tomorrow (Sunday 6/8) for brunch! Another thing that keeps me coming back is the continuing expansion of their Filipino menu's non-breakfast items! I love their roast piggy dishes, like Lechon Kawali and Crispy Pata! However, I wish they'd add another exotic homeland favorite which is kare-kare (oxtail stew with peanut butter sauce)! Annie told me in my last Facebook message exchange with her, that it's going to be added to the menu-- but that was weeks ago and it's STILL not on there! Sigh/Groan...Anyway, I still do plan on coming back for more of the other Filipino menu items, especially the Calderetta! I love that Annie's saves me from having to schlep to Skokie/Niles/Morton Grove and Chicago, for Filipino food. Plus, her employees - everyone, from her servers like Nikka, Miguel and Veronica, and her busboys like Aiden and Ben --are all so efficient, attentive and personable to interact with! (Which is why I leave 40-50 % tips when I come here!) In addition, the restaurant has always been clean every time I've gone in there, plus it's also been packed with people during peak breakfast/brunch hours on weekends! The majority of the diners I've observed here LOVE the American/non-Filipino menu items, so I'll definitely order those when I start craving them! But for now, I'm going to order all the other Filipino menu items I haven't had yet!

This is my first time visiting Annie's and the French toast was AMAZING!! The Butcher Skillet was great and everything was fresh!! The food overall was excellent and Veronica was a great server!! The environment was clean and even though it looked pretty full, the noise level was at a minimum. The staff were on point and very attentive.

The food was great. I never knew Annie's Restaurant had Filipino food. There are lots of choices, and this restaurant does catering Filipino food as well. The atmosphere is great, and I love customer service as focused on helping others. For breakfast, I've had Tapsilog with French toast on the side, and it tastes fabulous. Thanks for what you do
