The place is not what we expected. The food wasn't good, the restaurant looks run down. Oh, while we were eating my bf noticed one of the waitresses buttered 2 slices of toast with no gloves on after she picked up something off the dirty floor.

❤️+10=🌟 I love this place, I've eaten there for years! They haven't changed much at all. You get a huge helping of whatever you order. They never let your cup empty or your glass run dry. Their individuals who eat every meal there during the week, that tells you about the cost, extremely reasonable! 30 years at least I've been in and out of this facility, and never had a bad meal! 👍

The restaurant looks very old. The inside very old style. Look like something your grandmother would design. Chairs look like old wood. The menus are very old looks like they are coming apart. I waited about 2 minutes before a waitress came to my table very good. I ordered a salad when it came out there was only one cucumber and one tomato. I could count the amount of shredded carrots 12. The mozzarella sticks came out. Looked very good but very hard. The cheese didn't pull when you bit into it. I did not like them. I got bread with my appetizer and was not to my liking. The bread was so dry and hard it took me forever to chew. My main course was spaghetti and meat balls. Looked amazing and tasted amazing. They didn't use the regular spaghetti sauce they created a homemade sauce that taste amazing. The meat balls where home made and soft but firm and moist. It was amazing. The waitress didn't ask if I wanted dessert before giving me the check. Guess I'll go somewhere else for my icecream

Great family-owned place. It's your typical Greek restaurant with delicious full breakfasts, homemade soups and salads for lunch and amazing complete dinners. There's even a bar of you like an adult beverage with your meal.

This is a cute old diner. We were driving down the street and decided to stop in for dinner we ordered 🍔🍔cheeseburgers. 😋 The diner is old and a little outdated but the food was good and the wait staff was very nice. We enjoyed our dinner tonight and had a good experience.

We ordered from DoorDash and have to say the food was still hot on delivery. The portion they sent over were perfect as if you were eating in their restaurant. We order the Mexican skillet and the NY steak with eggs and they surly did not disappoint. Would order from them again with no hesitation and would also recommend for those that don’t want to leave their homes.

It pains me to put down a small family business, but honestly, this place is not worth your time and even less so your money (or vice versa as this is quite subjective). The setting is Tarantinoesque. Even as you walk in, you can get an idea of what's in store for you. The visually impaired, too, will be given plenty of ques as well to reconsider and walk out before it's too late. Unfortunately, curiosity and hunger got the best of us. The evidently leaky ceiling, the fact that no one bothered to change the 6 stained tiles, the vintage "aroma" all point to a place that is well past its prime with a caretaker that doesn't seem to care all that much. On the plus side, if you were hoping to dine in a poorly sealed time capsule, you hit the jackpot! On to the main course. The food, it has to be said, is an insult to your senses. A collection of the cheapest of the cheap ingredients. Warmed up or tossed in a fryer with oil tracing its lineage to the early 2000s (maintained with the philosophy of "Only add, never change"). The highlight of the meal was a glass of icy Coke, which, for some reason, did not taste moldy, defying overwhelming odds against it. By comparison, McDonald's is a luxury culinary experience, deserving of at least a Michelin star. An interesting but oh so fitting peculiarity was that of the three sets of utensils presented, not one matched another. One of the forks was even a veteran of the magician heyday, bearing the scars and noodle like waves of repeated bending over countless performances. Lastly I will have to disappoint anyone invested in my rant, and say that the personnel was friendly and the service ok, so no complaints there. My advice to the owner would be - It's time to retire. Let someone new, with passion and vigor, breathe much much needed fresh air into your place. The memories will always stay but the decor can and should go. Take pride in the chapter that you wrote, the folks you fed over the years, but don't linger on to see a-holes like myself write mean but true things about your life's work.

Great dinner with great prices! We were there not long before their closing, yet we were not rushed. Good home cooked meal for weary travelers.

My visit here was exceptional. Speed of service was impressive. The food portion was well worth the price, which was not costly. The food was savory! My server was very polite and treated us very well! Strongly recommend visiting this place if you're in the area

If you have the nerve to charge nearly $4 dollars for a 12oz glass of orange juice and nearly $13 for an omelette… The food should at least taste good and be fresh. The potatoes were bland and mushy...clearly not fresh and have been sitting under a heater for hours. We also ordered a fruit waffle that was soggy with bananas that were black. What a joke! I know this place has been around for a while, and I know that there are a lot of regulars who really enjoy their experience here… But if you're not in with the owners or part of the regular crowd, you kinda get treated like you're not important and don't matter. Won't be back.

Tried the spinach pie...good. Prices appeared more reasonable. Love the free payphone (gotta love it!)

We were looking for a breakfast place near by and we came across Hillside restaurant, and we were not disappointed. They seated us right away, service was acceptable and food was pretty good as well. The prices on food definitely reasonable, considering everyone jacked up their prices up but does not look like for them. One food portion will fill you up. They also offer senior pricing as well. So if you want some good food at reasonable prices, then come here

This past September was the first time in at least a couple of years dining in at this place. When it comes to a good ol' fashioned American home cooked breakfast, Hillside is definitely on that list. I used to come here much more often when I was living in Round Lake from May '89- Nov '02 but after moving to Beach Park, not so much unless I'm going to church which also happens to be in Grayslake which sadly isn't that often since I usually start early Sunday nights on 3rd shift and I need my sleep. Nothing fancy or upscale but indeed just your typical American family restaurant serving up some good eats. Have never had anything but breakfast here which is delicious. I'm often in the mood for some eggs up with toast to dip in the yolk, sausage and extra hashbrowns. Dining room is always clean, prices remain reasonable for the quality food served even as prices nationwide are climbing up and service is always super friendly. Since I'm a bit of a foodie, I'm all over the place so unfortunately I don't get out to this venue as often as I'd like to. I do love supporting local businesses and if I get that craving for a home cooked breakfast, I'll try my best to get back to the Hillside.

Fantastic! Everything was perfect; food, ambience, server, beverages, view, everything. We both had the five course dinner and we were both delighted.

Hillside is an every other week event for us. We go there for their liver. I know, most people don't like it. Thing is, I love it. Hillsides become our home away from home for liver and the do a decent job of it. The only item I wish they would do is offer cake.

Everything was great. Ordered the turkey and cheddar on a croissant, it was really good. I love the large selection on their menu, and the cream of chicken rice soup is the best around!

young hostess with the beautiful butterfly tattoo was so sweet to my family and i! she had the biggest smile and was always happy to help, not to mention the food was phenomenal!

The manager is incredibly rude and yelled at me for a mistake they did her answer to my problem she yelled “we will remake your order goddamit” and hung up My issue was HALF of my $70 Uber eats order was missing the Uber eats person had said that she was only given one bag hinting that this was not her mistake instead the restaurants so I called and the manager was clearly frustrated. I can’t stomach the fact that a manager at an establishment can steep that low and yell at a consumer for a mistake they did.. with the world as nasty as it is you would think family restaurants would be safe from that but no Hillside you’ve had my families heart for the longest time and I am that crazy person to spend $70 on just breakfast because of how much we love their food never again. I will never order from this establishment again after how the manager acted in this situation.

Incredible Italian Beef! The owner was very warm and welcoming and the inside of the restaurant was very clean with ample seating inside and outside. I had the Italian Beef dipped with sweet and mild peppers which are homemade

In this area for my yearly vet procedure. Found this very clean restaurant and I wasn't disappoint one bit. One key item caught my eye - the half sandwich choices...the Italian beef. Now I do have my favorite places in Chicago but this isn't Chicago and wasn't going to drive an hour towards the city. I should have snapped a pic but my brain got numb once the gal placed the plate before me. It was beautiful looking and was so perfect for me. Juice on the side, no juice but perfect green peppers and onions on the exact bread roll for this delicious meal. If I am ever back in this area on this planet, this WILL be my stop.

My personal experience was not a good one, food was cold and overpriced. 40$ for a lousy lunch, really? There are much better places in Grayslake for less $. The one good point is that the service was quite good. This place is usually crowded for breakfast but I seldom eat breakfast out so I can not speak to this aspect. Go at your own discretion.

Great food great price great service just DO NOT GO ON SUNDAY about 11:00am to noon! I like that it is not crowded Sunday after church. I do NOT want you all changing that because of my review, making me have to start waiting in line like all the other expensive places.

Food was hot, good size portion, typical Greek Restaurant. Prices are fair. Was hoping for tapioca pudding but they were out so got rice pudding. It was good not from a can made fresh at the restaurant. Older clientele and older waitresses.
