Food is always great! Been going there once a week for years and while the menu changes a bit…read moreseasonally, it is always good with large portions. You get double eggs with every dish; a heaping helping of hash browns; big juicy pork sausages; Mushroom soup has lots of mushrooms; and they generally accommodate substitutions. Staff is superb. Attentive, friendly wait staff and discrete bussing of tables. We always tip well bc they deserve it! Service is fast and hot. The ambiance is clean and farm-like. A great way to start a day!

Such a cute little spot!!!…read more I was out driving and have really been craving bacon, eggs and potatoes and this place did not disappoint. After walking in I was quickly sat by a very friendly man and quickly after my even friendlier waitress came over and took my order. I ordered the hungry man's breakfast and was so happy when they told me they had gluten free toast as I've recently discovered I'm very sensitive to gluten. Not more than 10 min later my breakfast was out. I have absolutely 0 complaints about this breakfast. All of the meat was well cooked and tasted fantastic. I asked for extra crispy potatoes and they obliged. This was a 5/5 stop for and I'll be back for sure!!

Sadly, no vegan food except hashbrowns or toast (and vegans need to bring their own butter). Nice 80s music and it is played at a comfortable volume.

I loved that I was greeted immediately by someone welcoming me in and opening the doors for me. The elevated breakfast sandwich with avocado and arugula is tasty and made with fresh ingredients. Bonus points for the pillowy soft brioche bun. The coffee is rich and hot here too and I love the individually packaged creamers rather than an open creamer container, like other breakfast places sometimes offer. I look forward to more visits, as this a great location for a meeting or group outing.

I'm writing to share my recent experience dining, and unfortunately, it was one of the most…read moredisappointing restaurant visits I've had in a long time. First, the food lacked any seasoning -- no salt, no flavor, no care in preparation. The food should at least be properly cooked and seasoned. Secondly, my mother has a caffeine allergy. She politely asked for a to-go coffee cup with hot water and lemon so she wouldn't risk contamination from an unwashed cup that previously held coffee. Instead of accommodating a simple allergy-related request, your staff (with management approval) refused unless she paid for the cup. That level of insensitivity toward an allergy is unacceptable. On top of that, I ordered a cup of hot water with lemon and honey and was charged $3 -- the same as if I had ordered tea, even though I didn't ask for a tea bag. Charging customers full price for a basic cup of hot water and two lemon slices is unreasonable and frankly petty. I could understand a small charge for honey, but $3 is excessive. I obviously asked for the tea bag at this point. It's clear that more effort is being put into pushing sales of alcohol, ice cream, and coffee flights than into serving quality food or listening to patrons' needs. If more attention were given to the basics -- good food and decent managerial service (the server was at minimum okay)-- you wouldn't have to nickel-and-dime customers for hot water or disregard allergy concerns. I will not be returning, and I plan to share this experience publicly so others are aware.

Granny's Restaurant in Lombard, Illinois, serves up some amazing breakfast and lunch options at…read morevery affordable prices. Their omelettes are seasoned to perfection and stuffed with quality ingredients. Their grits are perfectly seasoned, creamy and easy on the palette with a hint of cheese in it. The pancakes are perfectly buttery, fluffy, golden brown and complete with their syrup. Even their fries are seasoned and cooked to perfection. All in all, they serve food that is delicious, hearty and will keep you going throughout the rest of the day. We ordered the chicken tenders and fries, the French toast combo, and the sausage and cheese omelette. We ate well and had food left over to bring home. The service was exceptional as well and you are treated well and made feel welcome. I recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a diner to have breakfast or lunch. We have it the highest marks; earning a 5 out of 5 star rating. Go Granny!

My first visit was memorable. Had to do my normal first time meal. The Farmhouse (biscuit and…read moregravy, 2 eggs and potatoes) delivered on flavor and quantity was abundant. Not very busy on Monday morning and service by Ailed was prompt and friendly. Reasonable prices would urge a return visit to explore more of their menu.

Decent choice of vegan choices, especially if you bring your own vegan butter. I am not GF, but I loved my potatoes cooked in oil (not butter) and vegan by default) and vegan muffin. My husband loved his eggs. All in all a fantastic score for our mixed ethnicity family! They do offer an entire gluten-free/vegan menu, you simply have to request it. I also cannot say enough about their morning beverage libations. Wo does not love a Bellini with breakfast?

Glenn Oak feels like the kind of place where breakfast legends are born and diets quietly file for…read moredivorce. The atmosphere hits that perfect sweet spot, warm, welcoming, and buzzing with just enough energy to make you feel like you found the place. Cozy without trying too hard, friendly without being fake, and full of that comforting breakfast chaos that somehow makes coffee taste better. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and somewhere between the first bite and the shamefully aggressive scraping of the plate, I experienced personal growth. These weren't sad, cafeteria biscuits fighting for survival under mystery gravy. No. These biscuits showed up with confidence. Fluffy, buttery little clouds carrying gravy so rich and comforting it could probably talk me through my taxes and unresolved childhood issues. By bite three, I was mentally canceling my responsibilities and considering forwarding my mail to Glenn Oak. The dangerous part? I looked around and realized everyone else seemed equally possessed by whatever culinary wizardry is happening in that kitchen. Suddenly ordering one thing felt irresponsible. If the biscuits and gravy hit this hard, what else are they hiding back there? Glenn Oak is the kind of place that makes you want to tell everyone you know... and absolutely nobody at the same time because waiting longer for a table sounds emotionally devastating. 10/10. Bring stretchy pants, poor decision making, and don't make plans immediately after because you may emotionally commit to staying all day!
