We love their tuna salad. Nobody makes anything quite like it. We get it a couple times a month and it's so healthy.

Love the ambiance - cute little cafe with made-from-scratch food - lots of variety in type of food, from blackened fish tacos to steak sandwiches to sliders and pasta......and apple pie and caramel bread pudding for dessert! They have some cocktails and wines and beers as well - I had Pink Sands cocktail that was expertly mixed- I seriously can't find a weak point here!

Purchased a $14 salad with added shrimp, which was an additional $8 charge. The salad was mainly spring mix with very few toppings and only came with only 4 shrimp. Not worth the high price.

Wonderful family meals that rotate daily. We've had the salmon and it may come with mashed potatoes or pasta, salad bread rolls and wonderful cookies. Easy to order online or via phone and make sure you enter your preferred time for pickup in the comment field if ordering online. Their food has always been fresh and their curbside pickup is efficient and safe.

Always good and nicely prepared. Chicken piccata and pot pie are our favorites. After many years, a little more variety of entrees and expanded starters would be appreciated. Friendly service. Quite cozy, although we usually carry out.

I celebrated my graduation today in this delicious restaurant. happy to tell that we passed a magnificent evening and the venue was clearly the reason for this strong gathering. The team collaborated in a gorgeous way, the meals were yummy and my buddies were so thrilled. We shall definitely come back again for more celebrations. Thank you very much.

Delicious luncheon fare at reasonable prices. Salads tossed without excessive dressing so it need not be "on the side." Courteous, professional staff anticipate needs without looming. Family specials for dine in or take away available daily.

During this Covid - 19 pandemic, my family and I have ordered a dinner for four from Meg's Cafe, once a week. I cannot say enough about the curb-side pick up, reasonable prices and delicious food! For $40.00, we get enough food for dinner and lunch for the next day! Meg's lemon chicken piccata is beyond delicious (Monday night's special). The angel hair pasta that comes along is light and flavorful. The home made rolls and enormous Caesar salad are just wonderful. The home made dressing (on the side) is awesome. The best part are the home made cookies! They are big, buttery and amazing

My late mom and I often had dinner here before Writers Theater. We also enjoyed having lunch here. I love the Asian Chicken salad, and the Chicken Picatta and Chicken Pot Pie are also delicious. Apple A Day has consistently good food at reasonable prices. The service is good, too.

This review is for the food only, as we ordered delivery. The ordering was easy, the delivery was prompt and curteous, so really my only gripe is with the food. I am leaving three stars rather than what I really think because granted, I haven't tried every dish in the restaurant, and perhaps I will change my mind and order something else in the future, at which point I will amend my review.

I ordered the carne asada taco dinner, and perhaps this was the mistake, looking through the menu again, maybe this is more of a feel good, decadent and rich flavor type of restaurant. The tacos though

A family friend ordered us dinner from here shortly after my grandmother's passing and we were pleasantly surprised, having previously (many years ago) had a very "meh" experience.

This time, we had chicken piccata and it was surprisingly good. The noodles were also good. The broccoli was OK - not too overdone, but really big pieces (too much stalk). Minus a star for the salad - it was basically a large tray of lettuce. Which, if my mom recalls correctly, was also her complaint previously. But now we know better.

I've eaten at the cafe in the past and have always been

This is a cute spot and very cozy and welcoming. The food was good, especially the tacos which were expensive for tacos but superbly fresh and high quality. The service was meh. Our waitress seemed like she resented being there as did most of the staff apart from the kitchen servers and chef (who I thought came out to serve a dish to another customer). Might have been one of those days. I’d try it again when I am back in Glencoe, which is rare.

Um I don't know what to say. I felt I was transported to my future when I walked in it's as if I want to some Assisted Living Dining Area and I was visiting my grandmother. The place is clean, overly lit and staff were nice enough. I've heard good things about the food but I definitely was not impressed. I can only describe it as mediocre wedding food or perhaps nursing home cuisine except they serve wine.
One stand out here is the bread basket.
Would I go back? Sure, when I turn 80. But remind someone to bring my walker!

Love this place. I placed a catering order and would highly recommend this place. They were amazing. I ordered the jumbo shrimp cocktail, beef crostini (my favorite), mushroom & spinach mini pizzas and the chicken satay with peanut sauce. The food was delicious.

We've dined here a few times as well and my personal favorite is the chicken pot pie (not like the frozen marie calendar ones), the short rib tacos and the harvest salad. Kids love the mac and cheese and have had their cheeseburgers. People are really friendly so that's a plus.

Can't wait to host another party!

Came here for dinner with friends the other day. We all enjoyed a cozy dinner here. I think that we all started with a soup. They offered three different varieties that night. I had the butternut squash and I loved it. It was nice and hot on a cold evening with flurries. For my main I had the lemon chicken piccata. It is served over angel hair pasta. It was delicious but I could have done with more sauce. Don't know maybe if I had asked for some more I would have gotten it. For dessert I shared a brownie a la mode with a friend. It was only okay. Not my favorite brownie.

Our organization recently had Apple A Day cater our holiday party, and everything was absolutely delicious. We had a kale salad that was unbelievably good, ham on the bone, turkey, coconut shrimp, chicken skewers, chicken quesadillas, miniature beef wellington, a cheese tray, crudités tray, and probably a few other things that I can't recall right now. It was all excellent, as were the servers. We will definitely use them again.

Meg's Cafe? An Apple a Day? I've been confused by what their official name is ever since moving to Glencoe, but they can call themselves whatever they want as long as they continue making delicious tomato soup and tuna salad. I haven't branched out from that combo in the half a dozen times I've been to Meg's Cafe/An Apple a Day because it's that good.

This is a great spot for lunch (closed Sundays) when you're looking for something a bit fancier than the other "order from the counter" spots in town. I recently took my kids for the first time on a Saturday

On the way into the garden with the family, we decided to grab lunch somewhere near Glencoe. Our first option ended up being closed permanently, so we opted for Meg's Cafe.

We walked in, and I thought... ooh. How very clean. It's located in a wonderful walkable part of (what I think is) the Glencoe town center. Everything is trimmed nice, the inside is very white, it's just nice and clean.

So what did I get? The fish tacos, of course. The risk paid off, and overturned my overall philosophy regarding fish tacos (before this, I thought they were an abomination before the Lord). With
