We’ve been looking at the Sugar Bowl, in Des Plaines for ages. Wishing it was open, wishing we had been able to visit it back in its hey day. And then, it happened. We saw signs appear in the window indicating it was going to re-open. And it did.

We went to the Sugar Bowl today, for a brunch.

Sugar bowl

I ordered a California Omelet that was HUGE. It came with home fries and pancakes. Home fries were fine, not bad – not good, just fine. The rest of the meal was excellent. (And the waitress kept refilling our coffee, which I appreciated.

TW’s mom ordered the mixed berry french toast. Huge serving and she said it was good. It looked good.

TW ordered the Reuben Club and again, talk about serving size. Monster. I nicked a fry and it wasn’t bad, wasn’t bad at all. With a little more salt and pepper it might have been excellent. TW says the Reuben club was fabulous. And it looked good. I am tempted to order a Reuben on my next trip (not the club because I don’t do bacon.)

Loved the Sugar Bowl. Enjoyed every second of our visit. We’ll go back, definitely.

    The club wasn’t a Reuben club-It was a corned beef club and there was no bacon on it. Just corned beef, lettuce, tomato, mayo and Swiss.
