We came here today with friends and everything was delicious and came out pretty quickly, one dish took a little longer than the others but it happens. Staff was incredibly friendly and kind. I highly recommend the shakshouka toast. It's incredible, so flavorful and quite filling. My new obsession. Too bad we live so far away. I'd be here a couple times a week. Prices were reasonable too. Next time we're out this way, I'd love to stop in for a bite to eat again.

Stopped at Alexander's on a whim when I was in the neighborhood. It was kind of busy and had a few tables on the patio going. On the smallish side, intimate, cozy, and very clean. Clean bathrooms too which is always a big plus. The staff is super attentive. Everyone seems to do everything from serve, bus, assist each other which I don't see very often. Usually people like to say " it's not my job" apparently that doesn't happen at Alexander's. An all male staff while I was here and they all seem to gel nicely. Good service and a creative menu. I had and different dish I've never had elsewhere, chile rellenos and eggs. A healthy grilled sliced Pablano Pepper and scrambled eggs with chihuahua cheese and topped off with a nice mole type sauce. The dish was accompanied by a side of rice and plantains garnished with an orange. Yep, it hit all the taste buds, both sweet and savory. I'll definitely be back to check out more of their menu. Totally worth the stop

I happen to drive by this location while visiting the area. Found parking on the street. There was no wait, I was seated right away. It's a pretty busy place, clean and bright. Our waiter came to our table right away. We ordered a coffee, hot chocolate and a pineapple mimosa. We ordered the Lox Plate. Delicious salmon on a bagel with cream cheese tomatoes, cucumbers and capers. My friend ordered a traditional option of sunny side up eggs with bacon and potatoes. Nice portion for breakfast. Recommend for a fast yummy breakfast.

Came for breakfast one day. My server was very helpful when I was indecisive. Food was great and exactly what I needed. Coffee was alright. But I enjoyed my meal.

Met a friend for lunch at this busy corner restaurant in downtown Skokie. As I entered, a bunch of people were leaving, luckily, because this place can get packed. There's street parking, but I parked in a lot in back of the restaurant. Lots of inventive and creative breakfast and lunch entrees. Next time I'll order chilakillers (their spelling, not mine). At this visit I had a delicious beet salad. I like that they have other veg options, and also indulgent ones. Service lagged a bit. Food was delicious.

Solid 4! Service was friendly and quick, the interior of the restaurant is sunny and roomy, and the food was good. We tried their; - Creme brulee French toast - "Brunch" wish was pork belly hash The French toast was super tasty and a good size! We loved the berries and cream on top. The pork belly hash was okay. My mom really enjoyed it, but I wish the pork belly was more charred/burnt/crisp. It had good flavor though with the goat cheese and salsa. Would def come back to try more items.

This is one of the original restaurants in downtown Skokie and it is still going strong after all these years. It's only open for breakfast and lunch, but that's clearly not holding this place back because it was pretty much full Sunday morning. And with good reason. They crank out a quality breakfast fast and at a decent price.

Food was amazing, as always! The service is always nice too. The churro french toast is the absolute best! Nothing else on the menu compares TBH. I get the carnitas hash every time & I am never disappointed!

This adorable, unassuming breakfast / brunch / lunch restaurant packs a lot into an order that shouldn't be overlooked! Hubby and I were in the area and wanted something different. Alexander's popped up on my search and I'm so glad it did! It's a small, corner restaurant along Oakton just west of Skokie Blvd. We were quickly greeted by a server and shown to our able. We arrived around 10:45 and there were about 7 tables with diners. It was a cold, windy day and we opted not to sit in the booth right in front of the door. We sat at a table along the windows. When a booth opened up, our server offered it to us and helped us move over. The menu is simple, but filled with so many delicious choices! I choose the tres leches French toast and a side of bacon. Hubby had the Cajun skillet with chorizo and diced potatoes. I also got a coffee and he had a Coke. His Coke came in a can which isn't so bad. My coffee was SO GOOD! It was by far the best coffee I've had at a breakfast taste! It was flavorful and didn't have an overly roasted burnt taste. I'd love to get a cup again right now! The tres leches French toast was a beautiful piece of artwork and tasted even better than it looked. I was a bit hesitant ordering it because I was afraid it would be overly sweet and it wasn't! It had the perfect balance of savory and sweet, topped with fresh fruit, and a light fresh made whipped cream. I devoured it! The bacon was thick sliced, prepared crispy and not at all oily or fatty! A delicious side that was perfectly prepared. Hubby said his Cajun Skillet was delicious! The chorizo has the right amount of spice and flavor. The potatoes stayed nice and crispy even with the sauce covering it. It smelled so good! The portions were perfect for us. We finished everything without having any extras to take home (and forget about). We left satiated and happy. There were so many good options we will be back to try more items, even though we are 40+ minutes from Alexander's. The servers were attentive and friendly. They kept our water glasses filled and my coffee hot. They checked in with us frequently, but not overly crazy. The service is a plus along with the dishes! Can't wait to be back!
