Breakfast omelette
Kimberly W.

Very prompt service and seating, even on a Saturday morning. The omelette I ordered was huge. However, it could do with a bit more flavor. Even though the Flamenco omelette was described as having spicy salsa on the side, it wasn't at all spicy and not particularly flavorful. So you'll leave with a full belly, but though the presentation is good, the food was just okay. It's possible their breakfast staples are better, but it just wasn't anything special.

Vegetable soup with my cracker-the soup was amazing
Kathleen R.

We stopped in while visiting family in the area-absoluty LOVED it!! The service was fantastic and the food was delicious and clearly made from scratch, made to order everything was delicious. I had the Vegetable soup and a BLT with fries and my sister had the same but with Chicken Dumpling soup, every was perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. Thank you for a nice lunch.

The cafe had lots of seating (booths and tables). There were a lot of different things on their menu for both sweet and savory preferences. Nothing super special about their food or coffee, but they got the job done. The service was very helpful and friendly.

Breakfast burrito and potatoes
JoAnn R.

Really enjoyed our breakfast here. Got right in on a holiday morning. Great service and excellent food. I had the egg salmon Benedict it was delicious! Husband had a ham n cheese omelet said he really enjoyed it although it may have been a tad over cooked but omelettes this big are hard to get just right throughout. Our granddaughter had eggs over easy, hashbrowns with pancakes on the side that she split with Grandpa. All very tasty.

Top of the hash browns was crispy but under it was a mashy mess.  They wound up in the garbage.

Food prices are outrageous!!!!! 2 egg omelette on seniors menu $12 Coffee almost $4 Our regular restaurant charges $11 and get twice the size omelette Now the food came. The omelet was so small. Also they couldn't make sure the cheese was melted inside. Just a big chunk of cheese. I'm so tired of going out to eat at places where they charge a premium price and then give sub par food. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I make my omelets at home 100% better. Yet they cried support your local business during Covid. You the owner should be ASHAMED of yourself.

Banana Bread French Toast
Christine P.

If you are looking for a breakfast spot with tons of options this is it!! I seriously had 4 items I could not choose between. I finally settled on the Banana Bread French Toast and WOW was it delicious. This is the perfect breakfast for anyone with a major sweet tooth!! Our waitress Kristin was very sweet and happened to know my dad from another restaurant. The owner/manager even came over to greet us. This spot has a clean fresh vibe, lower noise level and flavored coffee creamer which is a big deal to me. Overall great experience.

What an awesome breakfast/lunch/brunch establishment in Lemont! I adore places that serve a lot of vegetarian options! I'm a lunch person and the husband is all about breakfast. Best of both worlds to be had here! I went with the Veggie Panini, as it's so difficult to find a good restaurant that caters to vegetarians. Fork and Spoon did not disappoint! Everything sounded so good that I felt conflicted on what to order. The husband went with the Avocado Scrambler, of course. My Panini came with soup and fries. I asked our waitress if the soup was vegetarian. She insisted it was. To be sure, I asked again verifying no beef or chicken base, was told no. However, it had that flavor when I tried it and so I didn't want to chance getting sick. It looked so fresh and homemade, though! Wish there was an easier way to figure out the truth. The Panini was absolutely delicious! It had an abundance of veggies such as yellow peppers, eggplant, and spinach with a garlic mayo kind of spread. So good! The fries came out fresh and seasoned. Yummers! My husband enjoyed his Scrambler and I couldn't agree more with the sample I did taste. So many veggies and avocados in a large portion! The youngest also enjoyed the pancakes that came with the Scrambler. Prices are very reasonable when you think about it. Entrees range from $12-$15, but they do not skimp on the portion sizes!

This is a very cute restaurant in the Jewel strip mall with great food. We ordered 2 skillets, country fried steak and a corn beef sandwich. Nobody had any complaints and the portions were really large. The country fried steak with gravy was hand breaded which seems to be hard for us to find lately and it was delicious. We had the cream of chicken soup and stuffed green pepper soup. I haven't had it in years and it really hit the spot.

Chicken dumpling soup

Coming in on a Saturday, of course it's busy, but it didn't feel like it because of how quick the turnaround was. It was packed but my boyfriend and I were in and out within 45 minutes. The server was very nice as well as the busboy that passed by asking if we needed to get rid of any plates. The food was great, I loved the chicken spinach Panini as well as the chicken dumpling soup it came with. The restaurant was very clean despite it being so busy. The only issue I had was I got the lavender lemonade mimosa and it just tasted like straight champagne, no lavender or lemonade. Other than that I would come again, but probably order a different drink instead.

Service was good, but I had a hair under my omelet and when I addressed it with the waitress and hostess all they said was we're sorry.

Disappointed in the coffee !!! and the food. Red potatoes touted in the menu were just regular cubes of potatoes, probably frozen.

Dotty's - Free snacks and coffee

Dotty's

Coming to Dotty's is my little getaway. I'm sure many retired people feel the same way, we don't…read moreget out much in our old age. When I'm there, I like to relax, unwind, and just enjoy playing my game. Some staff members make that a little difficult always looking over your shoulder or making pushy comments about tips. But with that being said I've been to several Dotty's locations over the years, and I've recently had the pleasure of running into a younger girl named Courtney a few times now. I've never felt compelled to write a review but I finally had a chance to sit down and write this because she truly deserves the recognition. Courtney is one of the nicest and most helpful young ladies I've met at a Dotty's. She has amazing customer service for such a young girl. She is very knowledgeable, always friendly, and goes out of her way to make sure everyone is comfortable and having a good experience. She does all of this without being pushy or overbearing, which I really appreciate. She keeps everything running smoothly, always makes sure my soda is filled, the snacks are stocked (especially my cookies), and the place feels welcoming. You can tell she takes pride in her job and really enjoys helping people. Her kindness and positive attitude are what stand out the most. I always look forward to seeing Courtney when I come in because she makes my visits that much better. Dotty's is very lucky to have her, and I hope to see her again soon!

Another unhappy customer. Machine stops working in the middle of a game and kicks out my voucher…read moreand then goes into a full reset. I go to cash my voucher ($130) and leave and the system says my voucher is invalid. Ask the attendant and she says it will take over an hour and wants my name and phone number??? I told her I'd come back later and cash it and she says, "kinda makes you mad don't it". Huh?? Seems like they have no trouble taking money but when their machines lock up the customer is the loser. I've been there three time total and each time one of the customers has a machine malfunctioning, this time was my turn. Avoid like the plague.

Paris Bistro

Out here in deepest Suburbia, sometimes things present a vaguely Disneyesque artifice, where, if…read morethe fantasy world was more advanced, "Quotation Marks" would appear magically in the air around buildings (and, alas, people) indicating irony should be applied as a mitigating factor. This is not to imply in any way those places (or people) are therefore any less in quality or to be avoided. But I digress... I've driven past the "Paris Bistro" here, since it was established, and, unfairly thought "yeah, right". Why? Route 59 is a 1000% American Commerce Zone, rife with every franchise on the docket, and conformity is securely on the menu. And rightly so. Folks out here may have had their success, but they were raised in front of American TV, and their consumer habits developed accordingly, especially with regard to cuisine and eating habits. There are, of course, bona fide Ethnics in the general area, but those are germane to the Communities in residence. (Some FAB Chinese, Indian and Mexican places-q.v.) I am not aware of a burgeoning French settlement anywhere nearby. Around here "Cooper's Hawk" passes for "fine dining", and if you've ever fine-dined, you'll know Cooper's Hawk may parlay a decent feed, but it ain't Alinea, Bubba. In the far Western and Southwestern Chicago 'burbs, folks' Culinary tastes are as conservative as their politics. So whither "Paris Bistro"? It's a handsome suburban building with inviting signage. When you walk in, you pass a bar having an impressive array of boozes. Keep going west past the bar and you're in a room mimicking a rural setting, if a rural setting had curved leather banquettes. There's a more traditional dining room on the other side of the bar, but I didn't go in there. It was daytime, and bright, but when daylight ebbs, I'll bet both rooms are romantic. The service is reserved and accommodating-you're not going to find a wisecracking "Alice" on the staff. The menu actually is pretty accurate as a French Bistro in the USA. Lots of Français on it (in the titles), but the descriptions are all clear English. You don't have translation to fear.The menu is extensive, and features many traditional "Bistro" faves, along with select "American" choices. I was in for Brunch. Disregarding conformity, I ordered the Escargot for Hors D'oeuvre, not that I wanted to, but because I am pathologically incapable of NOT ordering Escargot if they are on the menu before me. They were yum, but I wish there was a softer bread available for sopping the buttery-garlic goodness remaining after the morsels are consumed. As "they" say, a French Chef is judged by their prowess in cooking a simple Omelette, so that's where I went. "Jambon et Gruyere" to be exact. It wasn't a large beast, but it was tasty, light, and properly prepared. No sign of the Rugby-Ball pancake-batter-enhanced behemoth omelettes you'll find in common Coffee shops. Accompanying was a (very) small salad of nice composition, with just enough fruity vinaigrette to satisfy. Also on the plate were tasty and ultra-crispy "shoestring fries". I'm not a slave to potatoes with breakfast. but these were damned good. The problem at hand (so to speak) was the transport from plate to mouth, as they were very thin and very crisp. Both fork and spoon were inefficient. I thought of using the spoon to crush them, thus rendering spoon a contender to preserve my dining decorum. In the end, I bit the bullet and just picked them up in hand, decorum be damned. I wish I had a bucket of these for movie-watching snacks at home. The coffee was a conundrum. It arrived with a strongish smell, like it was burnt and past its prime, but lacked the acrid flavor such as found in a forlorn brew. It was actually a fine, bold, cup of VERY dark roast. It's a nice, sophisticated (but not snooty) resto, dignified but not stuffy. If you need to have a business breakfast/brunch, this is a perfect place. Also, if you're not in the mood for the hustle and bustle of a noisy coffee shoppe. Prices a bit higher than you might expect, but... I quite enjoyed both the bread and circuses here, and while I never mistook myself from being anywhere else than in Naperville (not Paris), I caught the vibe, and it was nice. I am officially pissed at myself for not stopping here sooner. No "quotation marks" for this place. Throwing 4 stars (for now), and I'll be back here very soon for dinner.

I recently went to Paris Bistro for a Galentine's Day tea with my Pilates friends. We were a group…read moreof five. We were shown to a table in the room to the right of the host stand. That room is usually where they sit families. It was not our choice and we voiced our opinion to sit in the dining room. The staff immediately switched everything to the warm and inviting dining room. The food provided was tasty from the mini sandwiches to the tartines to the sweet treats. I have to say there was an inconsistency with sizing. Some were generous and some were lacking. They could've done a better job with consistency so we all got the same sizes. The tea service was very cute but you were only able to choose a couple teas. I've been to other teas at Suzette's and Pinecone Cottage where the tea is unlimited, as well as they ask if you would like another tasting of something that you really liked. I felt for the money this tea service was limited as well as not consistent. It was a great way to spend time with my Pilates friends, though. I could see myself doing this again if there were improvements made and they were more generous by offering an additional taste.
