What People Are Saying About Victory's Banner

The Scene – A yuppie bohemian crowd gathers at this sunny breakfast and lunch spot in Roscoe Village. Owner Pradhan Balter has been a student of meditation for more than 35 years, and it shows in the room's spiritual vibe. Servers wear saris, while books on inner peace line shelves around the small room. Other than that, it's like any other good morning spot--relaxed, friendly service, mellow atmosphere and delicious food. – – The Food – There's enough tofu, soy and egg-less, meat-less dishes on this menu to satisfy any vegan. Along with veggie burgers and "Neatloaf,"…

Great weekend brunch spot!!
by adrianeleah at Citysearch
I really enjoyed this place. The food was delicious - my plate was completely licked clean after a few short bites. I recommend the eggless wonder but my friend had an omelette which he said was amazing too. Friendly staff and great, sunny ambiance located in a cute neighborhood, to boot. You won't be disappointed!
- Pros: great breakfasts
- Cons: portions are so big that if you are on a diet you might cheat

Delicious food, great service-wonderful breakfast
by billguzman at Citysearch
I have heard about Victory's Banner for too long from too many people, so I finally made my way over to Roscoe Village to give it a try. Well, it was just excellent in every way. I always include a sample of simple scrambled eggs as a "test standard." When do you remember ever saying "God, these eggs are delicious!"? The waiter explained that VIctory's Banner uses free~range eggs and cook in clarified butter. Everything is cooked fresh. The folks I was with also sampled the pesto-goat cheese omelet, satisfaction-promise (which delivers on its name), and we all shared an order of the "Award Winning" French Toast. My declaration BEST FRENCH TOAST IN THE CITY. Coffee is rich, chai is the real thing (not a steamed tea bag). Service was great and friendly. I left happy. It has become my favorite breakfast house.
- Pros: Food, service, value
- Cons: sometimes the wait to get in on the weekends can be daunting, but its worth it.

Received no service

Great breakfast food especially for vegetarians. I've eaten here before and had a good experience except the last time I went, I was ignored by the wait staff for 10-15 minutes while other customers coming in after me were greeted and got seated immediately. I did not feel welcomed at all. I spoke with the owner/manager regarding this treatment and when she asked who was suppose to seat customers, no one knew. I left without ever receiving any service. That will be my last visit.
- Pros: food
- Cons: service
