M&J's Breakfast House - Calumet City, Illinois

We dropped off my wife’s car at a dealership in the area and decided to grab breakfast before heading home. Sometimes the hole in the wall places have the best food. The restaurant was very unassuming but man was it fantastic! It reminded me of a place we ate at in Kentucky. I went with Chilaquiles because if it’s on the menu, no brainer. My wife can’t eat eggs which can be difficult when trying to find something on a breakfast menu. They had a stir fry on the menu for breakfast. That’s what she’s decided on. The food was amazing. The staff was amazing. The prices were great but more importantly the serving size was huge. Well worth the money.

I'm a foodie:

I ate here because it had excellent reviews. I'm from out of town (eastern TN) but staying in the area to play poker at the Horseshoe Casino.

The food was almost perfect! I ate the shrimp & grits for breakfast & it came with a side of pancakes & 4 eggs. Everything was cooked to perfection & the shrimp & grits breakfast was very tasty. My server was a tiny bit slow on the uptake but eventually she got caught up & served me well. I understand that servers are very busy with several customers, and she came through in the end. Great job M&J! And thanks to my server for her kind heart ❤️

We came in on a Sunday and there was a 20 minute wait, as expected. The wait was worth it. I asked the waitress if the chilaquiles were good and she said yes, she’s had the green, not the red. I ordered the green chilaquiles with steak and my eggs over hard on the side. Not going to lie, I was a bit skeptical because it’s not a Mexican restaurant, but the waitress was right, they were delicious, everything was, even the beans. My boyfriend had the fried catfish with eggs, grits, and toast. The catfish was also deliciously seasoned and fried to a golden crispy perfection. Oh we also got French toasts lol

I came in at 8:43 am waited for 45 minutes and as I’m leaving the lady said the printer is messed up and she didn’t get my order in. So she paid for my meal which was awesome. They truly took care of all online orders before the sitting customers. I hate to give bad reviews but I must tell the truth. As an influencer I would suggest online order then eat in. I was not impressed. To my server Ty the system let you down. Took a long time to check on my beverage also. They instructed me to come back and try it when it’s not so busy.

We came here for breakfast on our way to chicago. The food was good and our service was very attentive. I never ran out of water or fresh hot coffee. I ordered over medium eggs that came out with runny whites. My partner ordered poached eggs that came out like over cooked hard boiled eggs with dry yolks. Overall the rest of our breakfast was good, pancakes were very yummy!! We saw several people order the friend chicken and waffles and noticed the large portion and quality looked delicious.

Today I had the 2 thick fried pork chops with cheese eggs, hash browns and pancakes. It was excellent! They have really fluffy good pancakes. My sister had 2 thick cut pork chops smothered in brown gravy with onions, grits and pancakes. She said it was excellent too! The food is top notch but it gets crowded so come early if you can.

I had ham, eggs, grits and french toast. Everything was good but the grits were cold both times I went to the restaurant. My husband has chicken and waffles with a side of corned beef hash which he said was really good. It's in a mini mall but has some really good food. The fried pork chops are good as well.
