Great experience overall - from the moment we walked in to eating our good quality food, beautiful. I'm not from Oak Forest but it reminded me of a Mom & Pop shop back home that I loved going to with my family. Plus our server was wonderful & made us feel at home. Always asking if we were okay or needed anything else. I've had many skillets before but I haven't had their kind of Taco Meat skillet, it was good. One of my happiest moments is went your entree comes with pancakes, French toast, or toast, like that just shows life is good. Which my skillet came with pancakes. No complaints about this Pancake House and I appreciate the hospitality. Thank you! Personal Review: 7.7/10 read more

Diamond Pancake House - Umm, it speaks for itself!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oak Forest, Illinois

This is our favorite breakfast spot. The food is always delicious and the orders are accurate. I always get the farmers skillet that is to die for! I don't like going anywhere else because of how good diamond is. read more

Constantly screwing up my order. No remorse. No credit for my gas and time. Go elsewhere

Okay if the approach you need is more pancakes. I ordered the eggs sunny side up bacon and sausage link and three pancakes. It came with the order of coffee water and orange juice. read more

Have been coming here for years. The food is very good, comes out hot, is well priced and very consistent. Paula is a great server.

This place is starting that ridiculous nickel & dime garbage where they charge you for using a credit card. If you can't turn a profit without bullsh*t fees, maybe it's time to close up. read more

We went for breakfast for Fathers Day. We were a party of 7, 2 of which were kids. Understandably it was busy. We were literally there for an hour when either the manager or owner came to our table and told us to hurry up to pay because she had people waiting and we were "past our time". We literally had just received the check and our togo boxes. Also the "past our time" confused us because we were never told we had a time limit. It's not like we were sitting there for hours wasting time. We ordered and ate in a timely manner. But obviously since it was busy it took a bit for the waitress to take our order and for the food to come. As someone who worked in the restaurant industry for over 10 years and even managed a restaurant that was just unacceptable and poor customer service. You don't tell customers that they have to hurry up to pay and leave because you need the table. Sorry you can't handle/manage a busy restaurant, but you definitely need to work on your customer service skills as they are non existent. We will definitely not be going back, there are plenty of places to eat around the area that provide better food and customer service. read more

Foods okay if they get it right, I asked 3 times for a fruit oatmeal with brown sugar to go, seems easy to make but I guess not to them. I'm not sure if it's the cooks fault or they lady taking the order at the front desk but all 3 times I didn't get brown sugar and just a couple strawberries. Again I asked for a fruit oatmeal with brown sugar, not a strawberry oatmeal. They charge you for the extra fruit and brown sugar as well and I didn't get either so that was very nice of them. read more

The problem with this place, isn't the food or the service it's the manager. The restaurant closes at 2. I got their at 1:30 and was told I have to eat and get out at 2. That's from the manager or owner. He was very unprofessional and looked down on customers that come though his establishment ready to spend money on his dishes. A real jerk read more

Haven't been here in a few years, and man do I miss this place. Food has always been solid no matter what I've ordered. Prices are fair, portions are great, service is friendly. Busy on the weekends and with good reason. Place is an all time favorite. read more

Was there today, the waitress was bad, I think she was new, the cashier confirmed it. On the way out we told the cashier, hopefully the owner makes some changes. I wish we would've just canceled the order it took long enough we were upset and ate anyway that upset our stomach, it was unsettling. I'm certain she was racist, very pathetic. More importantly she handed us our drinks placing her hands on the mouth of the cups ,and not on the stems, which is a code FDA violation, I will not be returning to this place and wish everyone the best of luck. I'm simply communicating this is alarming. I could go on with details but, I won't and will remain humble. read more

The prices are great for a breakfast place and the atmosphere is comforting. Get the skillet. They're amazing. I can never finish one because the portions are huge, but then I get leftovers which is great. I've also had the eggs Benedict and pancakes and those are amazing too. However, nothing beats their skillets so trust me and get one. Service is always quick and wonderful and I love their Mexican shrine to the virgin Mary behind the cash register. Really gives the place some unique character. read more

So my review on this place is solely based on the service alone. Only because my boyfriend and I sat for a good 15 minutes and did not receive any acknowledgment whatsoever. No coffee, no hellos, nothing. With that said, we got up and left. So I cannot comment on what the food was like, unfortunately. However, I am going to assume, that based on the extreme disorganization of this establishment, our food would have been subpar as well. I would also like to add that the decor here is not for everyone. There is a creepy virgin mary statue at the front desk? And if I recall the walls were white and decorated to a bare minimum with tacky objects. It just was not very inviting. It also took 3 different people to seat us, but there were only about 5 other people/groups inside. My experience was quite negative. I don't think I will be going back! read more

I ordered the Wild Benedict to go and everything was fresh and they had my order ready in about 10 minutes!

Went for breakfast on a Sunday morning around 10:30. Ordered a waffle, plain with a side of bacon. Before I got the waffle I asked the waitress to bring me warm syrup. She brought me back another cold syrup. Waited awhile for our breakfast. Waffle came so cold the butter wouldn't melt. Told the waitress and she didn't understand me. Tried to eat it anyway but it wasn't palatable. Took my plate to find a waitress who spoke enough English to nuke my damn waffle. Finally got hot food. But, come on. The hostess didn't care a bit when I told her. Very disappointing. read more

One star?! No this is wrong. This is the best breakfast place in oak forest! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. So much skill in those skillets. Pancakes are bomb. Coffee is killer. Pigs in a blanket? Hell yeah! All for the best price within miles! Wonderful service always. Wonderful atmosphere. Everyone cares here. read more

The portions are hearty and big. The food was delicious. Our waitress was a doll. Very nice atmoshphere. I had the traditional eggs benedict and was satisfied with my choice. They do an Eggs Benny very well. read more

First time here and we got seated immediately. Waitress was spot on and polite. Prices can't be beat for great food so far. Will definitely come again. read more

After being seated, it took 10 mins for the server to realize I was there. I watched as other servers attended to the needs of the tables around me, while I sat and waited to be asked if I wanted coffee or was I ready to order. When I mentioned the 10 min wait to the server, she wanted to argue with me. I should have walked out then. The food was good, prices are fair, just the service on a Sunday morning was really lacking. read more

My wife and 3 kids love this place. When we go it's usually on Sunday after Mass. We usually have the breakfast skillets: Mexican and Italian-they are very tasty. The kids do pancakes, beacon, hash and OJ-(traditional breakfast). Oh and we all love the Cream of Chicken Soup! We usually stick to the same order everytime, it's that good! The menu is really vast so I can't in good faith comment on the other menu items. I did once have a Club Sandwich- it was good. The servicie is friendly and the meals come out quickly. This pancake house is as good as it gets in this neck of the woods. read more

A true diamond in the oak forest area staff is hard working and very kind. Plenty of room to be able to enjoy your meal. A must come and enjoy. read more

I think I just found my new breakfast place in the south burbs. Got the corned beef hash skillet with eggs. Absolutely perfect. Great taste great service. Can't ask for anything else. Will definitely be back soon. read more

We always overlooked this place because the sign makes it sound like a jewelry store! Unfortunately I should have realized that since this place wasn't reviewed yet that that might mean bad things......I got violently ill about 12 hours after I ate there. Of course you can never say for sure that it was this restaurant that caused the food poisoning, but I don't really want to give them the benefit of the doubt and test it again because it really wan't that great anyway. We went there on a friday and I inquired about the special on the sign (breakfast special 3.99 monday through friday). However since it was a holiday (veterans day), I was told that this particular day it wasn't available. I think that is false advertising and it definitely made me grumpy. It was one of the main reasons we wanted to even try this place, since it is rare that my husband and I are both off on a weekday. I got pancakes and a skillet meal, and my husband got the eggs/pancakes/sausage/hash browns meal. They both tasted fine. If you do go, definitely DON'T order the chocolate milk. It was watery and thin, and it definitely tasted strange and off. It tasted like chocolate almond or soy milk. My husband didn't get sick, and he ate similar things to me, so I am guessing one of the eggs in my skillet meal was bad or some of the vegetables weren't washed properly. The incident was reported to the cook county health commissioner so they could investigate. read more

Horrible service!! I had 45 minutes before i had to be at an appointment down the street. Which should be plenty of time for breakfast. It took so long to get my food i had to get it to go. The wait staff is terrible. I have been here several times & it's the same issue every time. When i told the person at the register that the service was terrible she didn't seem to care. read more

I'm shocked at how little reviews this place has. I've been here a couple of times and one can classify it as a typical greasy spoon diner. I've only had breakfast here and it's good. You get your money's worth and then some, when it comes to size of the portions. I have only gotten their skillets and I never stray from them. The service is great and it's inexpensive. read more

My husband an I love this place!!! We go there often! I love their pancakes, skillets and Omelettes. We have brought family and friend there and they always enjoy their meal too!! The waitstaff is very friendly.The only problem that I've had so far is that one of the times I did a pick up order the hostess was goofing around and it took forever for her to even notice me. The food is good, a decent price, and nice portions!! All in all I love the Diamond pancake house! read more

It's alright but I wouldn't go there again. The service is polite but it takes a very long time for them to check on you even when there's not many there. The hash browns were my favorite but everything else I wasn't a fan of read more

My friends and I come have continued to come here for years, and do not plan on stopping. Their skillets, including the Farmers and Mexican, taste amazing, as well as their large selection of omelettes, egg dishes, and other various items. The service is friendly, efficient, and always has a smile. read more
