    This is a a delightful little diner that has been a staple in the Chicagoland area for over 25 years. The owner regularly remodels the environment for a new modern look every few years. The food is amazing as is the service. They have a special Children’s menu which is always appreciated for those with young children. The feel and princess are small town but the quality of food and service is definitely a family friendly environment.

    Jaclyn was amazing! She was very attentive and informative. Very pleasant. In today’s society customer service is dwindling away and she brought hope to the industry. I got the Mediterranean omelette and it was amazing. The sourdough toast was perfect. The potatoes were good but cold so that is why I gave a 3 star. Overall experience great! A lot of good for the money spent.

    An adorable little restaurant I've never known about that's been around for years. It's actually not little at all. Had brunch with my mom. First off I Love that both of us received our own little carafes of hot water for my tea and coffee for her. More places should do this. To me it created a more welcoming environment of knowing that you were going to be taking care of and also not going to be rushed out the door. For our meals we both tried the sampler. I had French toast, the mile high omelette & the fresh start crepe. Mom had the French toast, the ham and cheese omelette and the fresh fruit (strawberry) crepe. The French toast was delicious, I would definitely order that again. Not too thick and very flavorful. The mile high omelette was fluffy and delicious. The fresh start was good it came with hollandaise sauce. I've never been a fan of it but it was pretty good. Not overpowering like I've had. The creme had just the right amount of sweet my only issue was the bacon in the crepe was burnt. Mom had pretty much the same thoughts on her meal as well. Loved the fresh strawberries on her crepe. We will definitely be back again & we'll have to bring the rest of the family next time.

    Service was excellent. Prices were average. The food was yummy. Reccomend the home potatoes, so flavorful. The guacamole that came with some of the breakfasts was delicious, tasted super homemade. The pictures on the wall really tied in with the restaurant. I loved that the silverware was tied up with yarn. I never even realized this was here, hidden gem tucked in the strip mall.

    I’m very pleased with the portions that were given. It very much matched the price. Our sever was very kind and I’m guessing the owner might’ve been there, he was also very kind. He had given my girls some lollipops. I loved the music selection as well, Christian music with some great food! This place is unbeatable! Thank you’ll, God bless!

    We usually go for breakfast. My go to is the empty nest egg with pancakes and cottage potatoes. It never disappoints! Recently, we went for lunch and I tried the combo with lentil soup and pitobello panini. It also came with a delightful fresh side salad. Really yummy! Very warm friendly atmosphere and attentive helpful staff!

    Me and my family really loved this place! Our experience here at this place is really great! All of the employees are professional, decent, and very accommodating. They all really know how to treat their customers so well and serve the right order/s. Outstanding customer service! Both staff and managers are great to be with! Their menu here is incredibly affordable, all of their food has fair prices, and the quality says it all. This place won’t disappoint you! Their offers are great, they have pancakes, omelets, tacos, pita, salads, fries, burgers, and other breakfast and brunch selections. They also have different kinds of drinks such as coffee, tea, soda, and others. This is probably the best food spot in this whole town. Such a great place to eat anytime you want. Great customer service, wonderful staff, wide and clean place, and also phenomenal choices of food! Would really love to go back here again soon with my family and friends! See you guys again soon! Please keep up the good work! Cheers!

    Ordered with restaurant for To-Go The Works Omelette Biscuit and Gravy Half stack Pancakes Coffee Omelette is delicious and pancakes are nice & fluffy and full of flavor When I entered restaurant I was greeted immediately by a Tall Lean Silver Fox. He was extremely nice, thanked me for my order, and wished me a great day. I’ll definitely return - Good Food and Nice Guy. Removed 1 star because I wish Gravy was on the side to prevent biscuits from getting soggy. Still very good

    Took my daughter to get a Bear breakfast for her 3rd birthday. Staff was friendly and kind. She loved her freshly squeezed orange and breakfast juice.

    I am surprised that this place isn't busier. The food is fantastic! First off, I love a place that leaves the coffee pot for you to fill yourself, no waiting to warm your cup. I had the Country skillet with eggs over medium. The eggs were perfect and all the ingredients in the skillet were very tasty. I had the Greek toast on the side, nice thick slices with great flavor. We will definitely be back when we are in the area again!

    I grew up in Elmhurst, and had gone here over the years and always liked the food. Went back for the first time in a few years and it was even better than I remember it. The omelettes are amazing. They put extra cheese in them and some sort of sauce? But the real highlight was three older men who are regulars at the place, one is a war veteran. They had their newspapers out, chatting sports and life. It was pretty awesome honestly! They talked to the owner, who seems like a really nice guy. My waitress was great too. 5 stars for the food. 5 stars for the ambiance. 5 stars for the service. A true Elmhurst treasure.

    When we walked in, were the youngest in the restaurant. I am 42... with that being said, we were pleasantly surprised with the food. Good value, flavor was spot on, and the staff was extremely welcoming. If I lived in the area, it would be a weekly stop.

    Enjoyed breakfast here, again. A diamond in the rough. Great service, delicious food, good coffee and fair prices. So enjoyed having a pot of Java on the table instead of waiting for a server. Will definitely make this our breakfast place in the near future.

    Love this place! Once my mom and i found out about it we have been coming here on almost every day off. The staff is super nice very welcoming you feel as if you know these people. One waitress is extremely awesome and nice always has great suggestions on how to make an either easier customized item or just simply hook it up so you dont overpay for something. The food is delicious, a customized skillet is always the way to go. But the apple cinnamon crepe are great as well. They have lunch choices as well very good sandwiches. I can go on and on but probably best for you to come on out and try it!
