M&J's Breakfast House — Restaurant in Thornton Township

To begin with, we waited about 40mins for our breakfast! To be fair, it was pretty busy so I wasn’t too upset, but I still felt that was ridiculous especially since two people came in and were seated and received their food before we did. However, once the food finally came out everything looked good and was smoking hot. My husband ordered the two grilled pork chop breakfast. I ordered the smoked sausage skillet. I will let you read my husband review next but I was just really disgusted with whatever “smoked sausage they used for their smoked sausage skillet, yuck! After like two bites I decided my dog would be a very happy pup today because I was going to treat him with the sausages from my skillet! When I went to pay for our meal I asked the short white lady (who was the manager) what kind of sausages did they use? She was very nonchalant saying BEEF. Then I asked what is the brand so I can make sure to never eat that brand again and she said beef from a brand called Nia! She was like well no one else ever complained, that’s not the point and if I was the first person to...

Very delicious but: If I had any suggestion for the restaurant it would be to use chicken thighs instead of wings for the chicken and waffle plate. I had to spend 7 mins pulling apart the very hot chicken to put on top of the waffle before being able to enjoy. The whole point of the sweet & savory combination is to experience the flavors together at once. Plus it’s just gross having to sit there in public putting your hands in your food at breakfast time. We aren’t given wet wipes either so you guys should be concerned that people may have to put greasy fingers on the syrup container or silverware that staff and other patrons have to touch as well. I went to the restroom to wash my hands but I just felt like my first experience here could have been better overall with practical elements of the dish considered. I will definitely be back tho bc even Chicago’s House of Chicken & Waffles wasn’t as good as this plus I wanna try that catfish & grits plate. Service was outstanding as well....

We order from here pretty often, when we first started eating here the food was great, over time it's gotten sloppy. The food presentation is sloppy at times, if I've gotten over easy eggs they are very runny, then I started getting scrambled eggs, now it's a bunch of egg shells in it. The hashbrowns are sometimes burned, no flavor at all. I've only gotten the breakfast, my husband gets the skillets, those just look thrown together. I was hoping it was just an off day the cooks were having but lately it's just not worth wasting my money . EDIT.... New review, my husband got us breakfast Sunday and once again there were a bunch of egg shells in his skillet . Idk who is cooking, if it's a new cook, but they need to start paying attention, we're paying for scrambled eggs not crunchy eggs ,...
