First time visiting for NY and with family who are regulars. Owner came out and said hello and server was very attentive. Had the squash soup and beet salad and it did not disappoint! Will be back next time we are in town!

Great location, right next to the summer farmer's market, outside seating available, cute interior decor. We've had takeout from here before and have been pleased. This was our first time dining in, and got to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. Service is friendly but the issue is all the extra charges that were never mentioned. Two bottles of grocery store water was set on our table along with silverware, for us only to find out later they were $2.50 a bottle. TWO FIFTY a bottle, for private label $0.10 (if that) a bottle water. When we put in our order, the waitress asked whether we wanted "potatoes, fruit, or toast" with a dish, so we chose one, to find out later it wasn't included.Definitely felt duped after seeing 4 extra charges on our bill rather than the 1 extra charge I was expecting for ordering a side. Not the best way to run a business for sure.

Food was pretty good but overpriced. The thing that got me -- and I see that others have also shared this -- is that you are given bottles of spring water when you arrive and then charged for them without being told. The server claimed she "wasn't exactly sure" what the miscellaneous charge was on our bill but thought it was for the bottled water, which we didn't ask for. Is it even lawful to charge someone for an item they didn't order? That part of our experience soured us on the entire establishment. Who does that/

Hidden gem in Wilmette. We love this place, great for kids. We love it in the summer to sit outside and let the kids roam on the grass but also a great winter spot. Their chilaquiles is exceptional and a must have and the kids love their pancakes. Service is always top notch and everyone is so friendly. I highly suggest checking out next time you need a breakfast spot. Also you can get your car washed next door and grab a delicious breakfast while you wait.

I would never find this restaurant unless I was really lost. It is located next to a car wash, and the only advertising on the building is an unlit awning. Heavy focus on the locally obtained foods path. BYOB which we did not know. The décor is minimal. It appears to be a local joint, with mostly locals eating. I had the crab cakes and the shrimp carbonara. Both were very tasty. Great seasoning and hearty. My special had the beet salad and the ahi tuna. Great flavor was the call on both dishes. It is a bit pricy, and hard to locate, but well worth the search.We would go back.

We went there this afternoon for lunch to find a sign on the door, thanking customers for 15 great years. They are permanently closed :(

Fuel is a Local Wilmette restaurant with an amazing chef preparing delicious food, Located near the metro station it is open for breakfast and lunch and dinner on the weekends. This charming small restaurant has an excellent menu. It's fun to sit outside on Saturday mornings watching the comings and goings of the farmers market. The owner, Tim is always there to greet you. Staff is great and the food is great.

Always an amazing breakfast place! Service is great food is amazing! I've been coming for years and the consistency remains the same!

Outstanding food. I had the quiche and it was light and delicious. The chorizo potato's are so good you could have them as a main meal. The service was so good as well.

Overpriced food that isn't even that good quality. Honestly better off just getting fast food since it'll be higher quality and taste better. Ambience is like an old American diner. I swear people only come by it's a high traffic area near the metra.
