Rhapsody is the best! Great food, great people and great service!

The Eggshell, with it's great coffee and grilled whole wheet pita with a little butter and fresh preserves is awesome. The food is great breakfast or lunch. The Rhapsody is a close second with great food, friendly service and a really nice owner. I could sit with a pot of coffee for hours reading the paper and working on my laptop and they don't mind

Why would you describe Rhapsody as a "joint"? Kevin's is a joint...a place for a local unmannerly clientele to hang out while their children run wild and Kevin plays clown teacher baby sitter. Rhapsody is well maintained and the owner works harder than anyone in town put out a consistently edible fare and satisfy his customers. Unfortunately the breakfasts at all of these places can't match the stick to your ribs quality I turn out in my kitchen. If you can't put a simple fried egg and bacon sandwich on the menu, you don't know anything about how America in the heartland grew up eating breakfast. You can get over-sized pancakes and cold oatmeal anywhere. Sysco whole wheat pita and jelly? Puhlese!

Kevin's place is listed twice. Instead of two Kevin's (I agree about the children being out of control in that place) why not list Eggsperience in Bannockburn? Same zip code. They have large portions, okay service and a Yankee's fan as an owner. Other than that, the Bannockburn Green Omelet is great! Next, I would vote for Rhapsody. Good food, service and a really nice owner. Local Deerfield too.

It seems as though some of you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, maybe not morning people...Rhapsody is good, but Kevin's Place gets my vote for thier omelets and short stacks. Consistency is their short order cooks forte, always fresh and delicious. As many times as I've eaten there, never noticed the 'children running wild'. Guess I'm just with better company.

Run wild?!? There's no room--it's always packed! We wouldn't go anywhere besides Kevin's. My kids are treated like real people there and Kevin is no slouch on manners with them, either. Plus, the food is fab!

Kevin's Place not only has the most incredible food, but the best company. From the first time you eat there, you are instantly family with both Kevin, the staff, and all the other people eating there. Everyone is welcome and Kevin treats each person like he would his own family. There is nowhere else I'd rather go than Kevin's Place.

Kevin's Place-- Best food, best environment, best company!

No one cares about their customers like Kevin does! In addition to incredible food...and I mean EVERYTHING on that menu...Kevin is simply the best. He knows everyone by name, treats everyone kindly and equally, and makes everyone feel good. We love you and your restaurant, Kevin! There is no place like it.

Kevin's is the go to place for my family. When our grown children return home to visit, the one place they MUST go to is Kevin's for the outstanding food and warm and caring welcome they get from Kevin and the rest of the staff. Deerfield would not be the same without Kevin's Place!

Kevin's place is the best! The Cherry Pit and even further back, Harry's grill, were representative of the Best of Deerfield. Times change, people move in an out. Restaurants come and go. You can get great food at all these places. However, nothing replaces an institution so dedicated to the community as Kevin's Place!

Kevin's place gets my vote! I live for the egg white plus 1 yolk spinach omelette! Kevin is the best!

Rhapsody is the best. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Kevin's Place is far too chaotic to make it a pleasurable experience.

Eggshell is the best!! The food is well priced, huge portions, and delicious. So fun to watch the geese by the pond while eating breakfast.

Everyone’s comments inspired me to take myself out to breakfast (anonymously) in Deerfield the last few days. I won’t say where I’ve been but I’ve enjoyed my meals.

Kevin's Place for the ambiance!

My vote is for Kevin's Place. Outstanding food and service in a fun, friendly atmosphere. One of my favorite restaurants in Deerfield!

Kevin's Place and Rhapsody are both tops for me. Great food; great places to run into friends and neighbors, not pretentious and owners and staff who are friendly and caring. Can't beat Mickey Mouse pancakes and Chocolate Milk Kevin Style but the south of the border styled fair at Rhapsody is top notch too. I say we're lucky to have them both and no reason to pick one over the other.

Kevin's is cold and bland kalifornia cuisine, unruly kids, rude parents, and village pooh-bahs violating sunshine laws. Rhapsody is quiet, mannerly, adult friendly. Sadly...McDonald's is probably as good as it gets for tasty breakfast meals.
