Foodie Review: Darlene's Breakfast and Brunch

It’s my first time here, but after checking out brunch spots in the Orland Park / Tinley Park region, this spot appeared on Google Maps a few times with high reviews.

I liked it for a few reasons – the join the waitlist was very helpful for Sunday brunch. After a 30-minute drive, we literally walked in 1 minute before our table was ready.

I don’t know if this is a “sister” location, but the menu reminds me of The White Sheep in Orland Park – this is a “plus”! Coffee, juice and pastries were plenty. The service is really quick and the bathrooms are clean.

My husband really enjoyed his steak sandwich. It featured house garlic bread, tenderloin steak, sweet peppers & bearnaise sauce. I loved the Créme Brûlée doughnut. It actually cracked when you put a knife through it.

For my breakfast entree, I had the brisket hash bowl, which included brisket, bacon, red pepper, yellow squash, onion, pepper jack cheese, house roasted potatoes, maple bbq sauce, Jack Daniel’s aioli, and scrambled eggs. I really wanted to enjoy this, but I didn’t. It was mostly because I was expecting the brisket to be like BBQ brisket, and it was more like corn beef brisket. Also there’s BBQ sauce on this as well as eggs… Not the best combination.

I would go this place again, but I would choice a different meal.
