Chatter Box Cafe

Amazing owner and staff! I’ve tried a lot of the breakfast items and they’re amazing!!

Just a little oasis for breakfast. The home fries are very good. My apple juice was in a good-sized glass.

Great place to eat and visit with family and friends ! Food was delicious.

A true value. Wonderful, friendly service. Delicious diner-style food, w/ quality ingredients, perfectly cooked. The pancakes were amazing - the best I've had in years! (They were a cornmeal recipe.) Clearly, very popular w/ the locals. We'll make a point to visit again & again when driving near the area🙂👍

Always great food, made to order. Staff is always friendly. Prices are fairly cheap compared to similar restaurants in the area. The atmosphere is homey and inviting. Decor changes with the seasons and holidays. Very family friendly.

Such a cute, comfy place! Friendly staff and customers. Very reasonable price make this a gem for the best tuna on rye sandwich I've had in years. Even their decaf coffee was good! Will definitely go back again.

Best biscuits and gravy in the area, awesome and soft scrambled eggs.

Nice local diner; very good food and great service.

If you want a country diner for breakfast or lunch, this is the best in Kankakee County.

Great little old school little diner. Great breakfast and very reasonably priced. The place is very clean and nicely decorated.

Wow! I love this place. I thought the directions had taken me to a dead end road but it is there, I promise. Amazing people with awesome personalities and service minded. Veteran discount on Tuesdays and Thursdays (I think) will get you a free coffee or whatever you are drinking. The food is really good home cooked kind of fare. Loved it.

Shut the front door!!! This place is amazeballs!! Food was perfect, toast was out of a toaster not some machine, was not hard and dried up like most breakfast joints. Shredded hashbrowns were flavorful, crispy just so perfect. Waitress was on the spot to warm up coffee, ask how everything was, if we needed anything else, very pleasant! Well worth the drive down. Will be making Chatter Box our new place!!!

Love this place. It is very clean, friendly people & the food is delicious.

Absolutely love the place has great prices.
Has a great cozy small town feel .. and the portions are great they give you big plates of whatever you want it's one of the best little diners in town.

Great food. Good prices. Awesome staff. All around good place

Love this place! Food is good, friendly staff, great experience overall.

I've been going to this place since my kids were little. About 30 years now. Best review there is that after all this time. I still go here when I want a good meal to share with my kids.

While on a road trip, searched Maps for restaurant in Kankakee, Illinois. One of the results was the Chatter Box Cafe. We were impressed by the reviews and decided to give it a go. So happy we did, great food,service, really a charming place! Definitely a place frequented by locals who know a good place. We recommend this to anyone in the Kankakee area!

Good food friendly service nice price great place.

Walking into this hole in the wall is like walking into your mom's house to grab a bite. This is the kind of place you walk in and have a conversation as a whole with everyone in the room. Besides the atmosphere, the food is some of the best. My favorite is coming here for a brunch and ordering something from their breakfast menu. The portions are huge and the food is always amazing. Try the Denoyer with some green peppers and onions added in and always remember to add a chocolate chip pancake. Heaven on a plate!
