At least there's an option 🤷‍♀️

When visiting family in the area I don't often eat out as there aren't vegan options typically. I appreciated that the pancake house had a clearly labelled vegan section on the menu, there's two options, pancakes or a scrambler. I had the tofu scrambler, it was okay. Definitely ask for your hash browns to be well cooked, mine were not.

Salsa Scrambler

Their menu only has two vegan options listed, but they are solid options. The salsa scrambler is pictured. It contains tofu, jalapeno, onion, spinach, mushroom, black beans and a side of salsa.

Disappointing

Reduced vegan options since we were there last. Mediocre at best. Ordered avocado toast without egg and specified vegan and it came out with a sauce so it had to be sent back. When it was brought out the second time midway through breakfast the avocado was processed (not fresh) and tasted blah. The only smoothie listed vegan tasted like sweetened soy milk- very thin. When I inquired she said they’re all like that. The worst part was the unfriendly host - she didn’t smile once and the condescending server. Very unfriendly. The only redeeming thing was that she was nice to our dogs.

Its alright

This is the place my whole family always wants to go when I tag along! Its not that great. If you can cook at all you can make better food for cheaper at home. The pancakes are good but after a few bits im over them and the food always hurts my stomach. Im not not a huge fan.

Pros: Vegan options , Non vegans will likely go here

Cons: Expensive , Not great flavor , Could be alot better- disappointing

My favorite pancakes!

I stop here every time I’m in Illinois. This is one of my favorite places to being non-vegans( normies XD) I will typically have my non vegan friends/family order anything they want as a main course but I make sure to order enough vegan pancakes to go around. They are a hit every time and it is a great way to introduce people to vegan food.

Excellent Pancakes

Tried the vegan pancakes and were impressed. They were some of the better vegan pancakes I have tried. They also have soy & almond milk options so if you want coffee you can ask for one of those! I got a vanilla iced coffee with almond milk and it was really good.

Decent Selection

I like how there is a vegan section on the menu, but I do wish they had a few more options. But having a vegan section on the menu is a lot more than some places can say. Oatmeal pancakes and the vegan smoothie are very good.

Pros: Vegan section on menu, Friendly staff

Pancakes

I’ve only been once but the vegan pancakes were delicious and thick but still fluffy. Very delicious! They also have non dairy coffee creamer options and the staff (that we had) was knowledgeable on which lattes could be vegan and which could not.

Amazing!

I have had the vegan pancakes twice now and they were amazing! They are reasonably priced, and they are one of the few vegan breakfast places around here. They have a few other options like sliders, a kale wrap, and a tofu scrambler. The only thing bad I have to say is that the pancakes taste like whole wheat pancakes, so if that is something you don't like, I'd recommend getting something else. However, I love the pancakes and I love this restaurant. Would totally recommend!

Pros: affordable, fresh food cooked to order

Cons: possibly more variety

Try it out

I’ve been here quite a bit and the vegan menu has only kale wrap, pancake, black bean slider, and tofu scramble . I’ve tried them all and they’re just okay .... more added to the vegan menu would be nice. Maybe revamping the skillet (other than just potato, spinach, and tofu) would be a good idea!!! Try the pancakes for a first visit

Loved the pancakes!

Tofu scramble wasn’t what I expected, it has chunks of tofu, very delicious! I added a side of corn tortilla, I will be back. They also serve alcohol, I enjoyed a Bloody Mary.

Not good

Their vegan food has no eye appeal! I tried the pancakes they were larger than my head and super mushy. When the black bean sliders arrived I immediately asked them to take them away..looked like cat throw up. Just ewww.

Cons: Gross looking food , Expensive

Fantastic experience!

I decided to choose a super healthy option today and although they did not have any vegan salads on the menu, they made the salad I requested and were so nice about it! It was very fresh and delicious! I was so impressed! They have other delicious vegan items with a small vegan section. My husband ordered the vegan banana pancakes and veggie scrambler. We also ordered a juice and smoothie. So good!

Pros: Nice vegan section with gluten free options, Friendly service, Knowledge servers

Wowza

Pancakes and tofu scramble are amazing! Little pricey, but worth it those days we crave (vegan) breakfast in bed ❤️ Gotta try

Great options

Southern Belles has great vegan options and they're all truly delicious. I REALLY appreciate it since we usually go to the one in Plainfield (or the one in Minooka) with my inlaws who like only very traditional American food. It's nice that my husband and I get a bunch of options. The kale wrap is my favorite and the tofu salsa scrambler is my husband's favorite! The oatmeal pancakes are also REALLY good, and so are their smoothies!

Great Tofu Scramble!

Great place! Super happy that they have a vegan menu. Only have tried a few things but the tofu scramble I think is the best. The tofu is cut a bit big, but it’s a huge portion!

Pros: Vegan menu, Large portions

awesome breakfast place

Love this quaint lil breakfast joint in downtown area of Barrington! Service was a bit slow, but understandably so bc it was on a Sunday morning and it was busy. Well worth the wait! I got the vegan pancakes and they were incredible! Will definitely go back!

Pros: vegan section on menu , cool juice bar selections, easily veganized

Cons: longer wait for food (especially on busy Sunday)

great vegan breakfast for the burbs

The options here are limited but it's so nice to have a breakfast spot to get brunch at on the weekends. I went because I had a Groupon and the service was pretty slow. Our waitress apologized and let us know the kitchen was backed up as soon as we sat down so I'm not sure if this is common or was a one time thing. I've had the scramble and pancakes, both were tastey. They also have a full coffee bar and tons of vegan smoothies. The also deliver on uber ware.

Great for sit-down or take-out!

Although some of the pricing is higher, the servings are large enough to get you stuffed and still take home leftovers. Being vegan it can be hard to find restaurants with a vegan menu along with a normal one. Having this as an option is definitely one of my go-to's for their large menu and friendly atmosphere.

Pros: Friendly Staff, Large Portions, Vegan Options

Cons: Can be pricey
