  Pancake houses can easily fall into the "seen one, seen 'em all" category but that doesn't mean you should avoid them. In fact, Briana's is one to consider for breakfast, brunch, or lunch given what it has to offer.
  
  A friend and I had lunch here with the kids and everything went off without a hitch. There was a decent amount of the dining room filled with other patrons but they were more than willing to secure us a large table (given that there were two adults and four kids).
  
  I could see the initial reaction from many as we were seated, something along the lines of "oh... great... kids...", but a combination of our children being very well behaved and the staff doing a wonderful job made everything go swimmingly.
  
  Not only was our waitress Johnny-on-the-Spot with taking our orders, delivering our food, smiling/entertaining the kids in passing, or providing addition items (napkins, to-go boxes, the checks), but she was ridiculously friendly! You could tell that she got a kick out of the smiling faces and the fact that it was a "daddy's day out."
  
  The food was tasty and the prices are right were they should be given the portion sizes. And, as I said, the staff is wonderful!
  
  This was a quick "audible" pick by us and it turned out to be a delightful experience. I highly recommend Briana's, you won't be disappointed.

  We came here as part of our 4th of July. I have wanted to try this restaurant for a while. I could see that this is a popular restaurant because it was busy even on a holiday. We were greeted warmly and seated promptly. Sandi ordered pancakes with bananas. I chose the Denver Omlet made from Eggbeaters. Although the cost of the egg dish with egg substitue is slightly more it is well worth the cost. One of my sides was potato pancakes. We enjoyed the meal and would consider returning.

  I'm pretty picky when it comes to breakfast places! However, this one gets 5 stars because it was clean! (You wouldn't believe some places-eww) the service was wonderful! And the food was tasty.
  
  I do get super overwhelmed with menus that have soooo many options. However, my trip to Briana's was different. I didn't see my dish on the menu- it was suggested to me by my waitress who said the chilaquiles were finger licking good! I took her advice. They were pretty good! It had great flavor! And who would have thought that a pancake house in Batavia, IL would have this dish!
  
  My friend got a side of pancakes and shred them with me. And I for one am also super picky about pancakes! I would say I'm a pancake connoisseur. These pancakes were mighty good. I would totally go back, when I'm in the area!

  Everyone seems to love or at least like this place.  The service was good. The waitress was very friendly.  The hostess (daughter of owner) so not friendly.  Obviously, she doesn't want to be there.
  
  Thought we would try this out.  I am not sure how you can make scrambled eggs taste weird, but they succeeded.  Not sure what it was.  The rest was unremarkable, so don't think we will be back.
  
  Oh well.  I hope we find a really good breakfast place someday.

  I'm drove by Briana's numerous times. It's located in downtown Batavia across from Walgreen's and Baskin robins. We decided to give this place a try after a long morning bike ride. I'm sure glad we did the food was made fresh to order and no wait time at all.  I really enjoyed their biscuits and gravy. The biscuit was soft and fluffy and sauce on point. They have a big menu and lots of options. Updated and modern diner feel. The service a good and place was clean.
