City Works (Mellody Farm - Vernon Hills)

I love City Works brunch menu.
Flavorful dishes and mimosa flights.
The menu is pretty unique compared to nearby brunch places.
Great service.
Waitress was very friendly and attentive.
It’s definitely on the pricey side… you are going to spend at least 20 bucks more here compared to other breakfast places in the area. Great outdoor patio. Recommend the ball and biscuit, popcorn chicken (pictured and not a lot of breading), the sausage biscuit (pictured) and their hash brown casserole.

07/09/2024: First time dining here.
Sat outside.
Took three tries to get a decent table on the patio.
The first was broke and wobbly, and the second one had a broken umbrella.
I highly recommend the Nashville nachos.
Best nachos I've had in a long time.
My son stated that the bacon burger was great.
I had the Scorpion burger with bacon.
I felt the spicy jam was on the sweet side.
My wife had the house salad with vinegarette dressing.
She was disappointed that the salad lacked the romaine and iceberg lettuce, olives, and avocado that was mentioned on the menu.
It was short on cucumbers and radishes as well.
Overall, the food was pretty good.
I recommend that management purchase some cushions for the patio benches.
They are not very comfortable after sitting for a few minutes.
We'll be coming back to try other items on the menu. Angelica B provided great customer service.
Thank you, Angelica! Much appreciated.

I am saying best experience ever with delicious and tasty food varieties of menu, perfect place for getting together with your friends colleagues, enjoyable experience.
Friendly bartenders and waitress excellent service.
Don’t forget to ask for Nina or Armida !
