Annie's has added another outlet in NE Mount Prospect, in the space that was Photo's for many years, and most recently Greek Feast. They only did a partial remodel from GF, mainly hiding the previously-open kitchen.
We don't often go out for breakfast, but with a new opening in the area, one we can walk to, we decided to try it on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. For only being open a couple weeks, they were pretty packed at 10AM (mask usage was good by staff, diners you just have to take it or leave it but there are plastic barriers between each booth).
Food was, overall very good, but a bit pricey, compared to our recent lunch at
B Sweet's at the far end of Des Plaines. My "Stud Muffin" breakfast sandwich crammed two sausage patties and likely two eggs' worth of scrambled with cheese onto the english muffin, and came with a good serving of hash browns (I missed the note above to add onions, I'll definitely ask for that if I'm there again). SueF's french toast on the other hand was just two slices of alone on the plate for $8 (no fruit, hash browns, anything). Their daily specials would have been a better bargain, with less french toast but eggs, juice, and sausage and bacon included.
Service was very good. If we're in the neighborhood, I'll go to B Sweet's, but for a place we can walk to, Annie's will do. Competition in the area has to be pretty stiff, given Emma's on Milwaukee (Glenview), Katie's Kitchen just a half-mile south on Wolf, and others.
What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?
