This is our FAVORITE restaurant!! My family and I frequent it monthly. The prices are fanatastic, the food amazing, and the staff is like family. I wouldn't choose any other breakfast place. I love their oatmeal with apples, cranberries, yogurt, and walnuts. I also love their quiche!!!!

If your a breakfast person like I am, THIS IS THE PLACE. The staff is incredibly friendly,they know their stuff and the food is out of this world. The coffee is better than Starbucks in my opinion and the thermos of coffee at the table is a coffee drinkers dream. It's located right downtown Crystal Lake by the old town clock.

Benedict's has the BEST coffee! After an awesome breakfast, they pour the rest of the thermos of coffee you get into a to go cup. That beats Starbucks around the corner. Try it you will be hooked.
