Benedict's La Strata - Crystal Lake

Server was very efficient, service was quick. Food was freshly made, and tasty. I asked that my Asian chicken salad have hot chicken normally it's cold, but they made it for me.

Wow.....talk about tacky....daughter and friend asked to leave and go to coffee shop across the street.....3 empty tables and no one waiting to be seated! They are grown women who were just enjoying breakfast and catching up! In my book doesn't matter how good the food is…that is extremely rude customer service…I personally wouldn't go back.

The food it's good, I have been there a couple times but this time I noticed that they charge you the tip in the bill, 20%. I always tip everywhere I go but tipping should be up to the guest. The owner of the business should be paying your wage the tips are something you earn according on how you served.

This breakfast spot was recommended by a local to us and we absolutely loved it. So many food choices!!! The vibe was amazing and we had such a good time. We ordered the farmer’s skillet and the jambalaya scrambler (but transformed it into a skillet too). They serve good amount of portion sizes, so we took leftovers home. But overall amazing!

Benedict’s is always a go to place for a great breakfast. They have a wide variety on their menu and I am always pleased with what I order.
