What a wonderful find for breakfast. The food was amazing, we had the breakfast sandwich and the corned beef hash which both I highly recommend. My wife said that is was the best corned beef she ever had! Olga our server was awesome and so friendly and informative. The inside was decorated so cute as well. Thank You for making our dining experience so great! PS Almost forgot the star of the show, the cinnamon roll 5 stars and bring friends to help ya eat it lol read more

Hazel's Diner And Bakery - Bring friends to help you tackle this amazing cinnamon roll ! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hebron, Illinois

Enjoyed trying a new spot that we've had on our radar for a while. Sampled some of their catering at an event and was impressed by the level of work they'd put into it. The cinnamon rolls and pancakes are absurdly large. Love that they are a bakery though. Tempted to get sweets but opted for French toast and pancakes with our breakfast instead. House bread selection is a selling point. We avoided eating here for awhile since it's next to this incredibly offensive flag-covered corner but I can ignore that for some (unrelated) tasty eats. The servers were also quite kind. Definitely had a small town, home diner feel. read more

Hazel's Diner And Bakery - Cinnamon Roll French Toast Sampler that was on special - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hebron, Illinois

First timers here, brought in by the good reviews. Came by for a late(ish) breakfast on a Sunday. Their small lot was full but we found easy street parking. Service was good but not flawless. Seems they only had one waitress working our side of the room. The coffee service was quick. Ordered the cinnamon roll everyone raves about. Got the "boy" version with nuts. We ordered the #2 combo and the breakfast sandwich. Like others have said, the food was not only super good but the portions are huge. Giant pancakes, ultra thick bacon, sizable toast, etc. All very very good. At first the prices seemed high but I was wrong. Totally worth it and we'll certainly be back. Five stars for Hazels. read more

Stopped at Hazel's , on Sunday, November 10th on our way home from Lake Geneva. So glad we did!! It's good, it's very good, it's very very good!! It's a cute little place, a little tight, but comfortably cozy. Our server, Olga is the epitome of hospitality! So pleasant, with an awesome smile and personality. We had the breakfast burrito, which is as big as my head, and the combo #2, with sausage and pancakes. We also got a cinnamon roll and "Twix " cookie to go. EVERYTHING was delicious. I would highly recommend breakfast at Hazel's and any of their bakery delights! Would definitely return if we are ever traveling through again. read more

Hazel's is a hidden gem! You're not going there for the ambience, remember, it's a diner so it's pretty basic. You're going to this restaurant for their good food and service. Olga was our server and was delightful. She took great care of us. First, the fresh baked cinnamon rolls are insanely delicious and huge!! We got the girl roll because I don't eat nuts. The boy cinnamon roll comes with pecans (nuts, get it?) We ate about 1/4 of the big girl and brought the rest home. The cinnamon roll was ooey gooey goodness, packed with cinnamon, and that icing was to die for. I had two eggs over easy with bacon, potatoes and toast. My husband had the corned beef hash with the brisket made in house. Again, huge portions. Everything was delish! All the bread offered on the menu is made in house as well as the jams, and the slice of white toast I had was amazing. On the way out, we grabbed a loaf of just-baked bread for us because just one slice at breakfast was not going to be good enough for us. We also grabbed a boy cinnamon roll for my 94yo mom because she loves cinnamon rolls and I knew she never had one like this. All the years I've driven through Hebron on the way to Lake Geneva, and never stopped or noticed Hazel's. Now it's on my radar, and I'll definitely be going back for the bakery and the good food. If nothing else, stop here to buy their cinnamon rolls. Worth every penny of the $8 for the roll. read more

Horrible service who knows maybe because we are Hispanic . Several families walked in and were attended to while we sat there until I said - do you think we can place an order????? Never again!!... SHOULD have just left. Waitress we asked stated she would tell our waitress, then came back and took the order of another family that came after us. She then took our order in place of whoever was suppose to be our waitress, Funny everyone got coffee right away we had to ask for it. A few Hispanic WORKERS of course ... but truly doesn't take away from the experience we had. SUNDAY 5/3 10AM. read more

I was driving through town for work and I'm really glad I stumbled upon this gem! I had their lunch special, which was grilled chicken on top of a broccoli cheddar sauce and rice along with a side salad all for just $12! I picked up a couple of their desserts and I'm definitely looking forward to eating them later! Olga was very welcoming & helpful read more

They have a high tea on Thursdays. I would highly recommend it. There were six of us. We each had our own 3 tier tray of tea sandwiches and scones. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Nice variety of teas to choose from. My only suggestion would be to have linen clothes on tables with linen napkins to make it more elegant. I will bring others to come. read more

Hazel's Diner And Bakery - Breakfast burrito- AMAZING! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hebron, Illinois

My absolute favorite breakfast, blueberry lemon curd pancakes. Mother's day, ordered to go, drove 20 minutes one way. I asked the girl who brought me my order of there was extra lemon curd (I had ordered that, I order that everytime I go) she even went back into the kitchen and checked, she told me there was. Probably my fault for not triple checking, but didnt think I had to. Got home and I had no lemon curd at all, not to mention the extra I had ordered. I called the first time and told them my story, they said they were sorry. Then my husband told me he would drove back down to get it for me if they could have it ready. So, I called and politely asked if they could have it ready. They told me that I would have to pay for it!! Then they read off my bill, they had written my order down wrong and told me if i wanted it I would have to pay for it, what?!?! I even told them that I had asked the girl who had gotten it for me, they just kept saying I could get some, but I'd have to pay for it. Super disappointing as we have been going there for years (I always get the same thing). Thanks Hazels for starting my Mother's Day off like this. You may have just lost a loyal customer. That is not how I would treat my customers at all! read more

Randomly antiquing in the area, and discovered this gem! Service was excellent, and portions were huge! Seriously-- the good is served on platters, not plates! Everything was delicious, including the blackberry lemon cookie we brought home. Sooo good and prices were reasonable. Will definitely be making a special trip back out to Hebron again to support this business. read more

Ugliness in Hazel's; Keep Driving, Avoid An Unpleasant Experience, Give Your Money to Grateful People ______________________________________________________________________ The owner of Hazel's is really weird. She thinks she is the soup-nazi from Seinfeld. No, you're just a crazy bitch who forgets customers keeps her business afloat. I've gone to Hazel's before, on numerous occasions, and I've always left tips, even on carry out, was friendly, knew people by their first names, and likewise. There were times on carryout where the owner forgot numerous food items, or they served food that was clearly burnt I wouldn't say anything, but on at least one occasion, THEY called ME and recognized they forgot items Like with previous mistakes, sure, I was annoyed, but I stayed polite and said its fine, just add it to the next time I order something, and politely moved on The next time I ordered something, I said hey, can you include the stuff you said you forgot last time? "Sure, no problem" I picked up my order and found that they forgot multiple food items again, got my order wrong, and charged me for things I didn't want (overcharged) I had already driven home but after so many past orders which were poorly done, I drove back and decided to ask for a refund I handed back items, said sorry, and politely left Ugliness in Hazel's; Keep Driving, Avoid An Unpleasant Experience, Give Your Money to Grateful People I never loved Hazel's, but I like to support small business and sometimes their food and service is okay. (When they did their [nasty] fish-fry, I supported them by ordering the most expensive item and a side). Today, the day I write this, I thought something to the effect of: "what do I want for breakfast? Should I order out? Hazels? No they always fuck it up...eh fuck it they're sometimes good and it helps them out" I decide I'll order from them, give them another chance, tip, and just keep moving on I called and was told the owner in her pettiness "banned me" Lol sister, you're not her And now knowing this is how you are, you don't need to ban me, I do not want to support someone who cannot take feedback or make good on their word, product, or services agreed to be rendered So fair warning, the owner is a weird-o and doesn't stand by her product or service The quality of food suffers as a result Your experience will be unpleasant -the leadership/ownership is bad -the food quality is always a gamble (will it be burnt, undercooked, or just plain bad?) -the owner seems to only care about money, money, money (Mrs. Krabs?) -If you point out the food is burnt, undercooked, of poor quality, or not what you wanted--you will get attitude (yes exactly what I want my experience to be on a Saturday or Sunday morning!) read more

Hazel's Diner And Bakery - Breakfast & lunch only - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hebron, Illinois

A friend recommended this place as a good breakfast joint in the area so we took him at his word. Overall, he was right! I had the Bananas Foster French Toast and it was everything I had hoped and dreamed it would be; banana bread turned into French Toast with a glorious caramel sauce and bits of banana floating in the sauce. It is such a large portion that I will have leftover breakfast for a couple days; the side of bacon I ordered came chewy, just as a I ordered it. My love had the Plain Jane French Toast and it was as advertised, definitely emphasis on the "plain," really devoid of flavor. Our waitress, Shandra (sp?), was really friendly and was definitely working hard to get everyone's orders. Unfortunately the timing with our order (and at least one other table during our visit) was off, with two of the three of us getting our order and the third arriving several minutes later. That snafu and the unfortunate check settling situation--they have you go to the counter to pay, even though that's where everyone waiting to get a table is bunched up, making social distancing incredibly impossible, all for the opportunity to sell bakery items--makes it impossible for me to go five stars, despite the tasty food. read more

Slowest service I have ever had. Food was meh. Ordered egg sandwich but it was lost inside two giant pieces of bread.

Delicious down-home cooking. Wonderful baked goods. Good and friendly service. It's is a small place so it can get busy but definitely worth it. read more

We met some family here for a mini reunion between Southern Wisconsin & the Chicagoland area and it was a real treat! We loved the sweet wait staff. We were amazed at their menu and enjoyed the gigantic pancakes & their biscuits and gravy! The cute farmhouse decor was quaint and it was a cute spot in this downtown strip! read more

A gem of a place. Was on a bike ride with some friends and stopped there for lunch. Food is fresh, fresh, fresh. They make pretty much everything in-house. The service is fantastic, the baked goods are incredible. Cinnamon rolls are freshly baked and as big as your head - four of us split one and each had plenty me in not sure I could bear driving through Hebron and not stopping for a bite to eat it picking something up to take home. One suggestion - offer some vegetarian lunch alternatives other than grilled cheese. Maybe a tomato or caprese sandwich during the summer? read more

Breakfast was outstanding. Everything is made from scratch here. Fresh baked bread, homeade jam, the extra large pancakes, sausage, and potatoes were especially tasty. Desserts are amazing also.

Small restaurant but still comfortable and didnt feel crowded. read more

Food is DELICIOUS & portions are huge. Service is extremely friendly. It's a homey little place. Highly recommend.

(I never give 5 stars!) Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I was convinced I had stumbled upon the best breakfast potatoes in the country. OK, it wasn't a galaxy, it was a breakfast horseshoe in Springfield, and after breakfast at Hazel's Diner and Bakery, Springfield has been relegated to second place. Located in the quiet ville of Hebron, IL, on the border of Illinois and Wisconsin, I don't think I've ever been to a place more committed to scratch cooking. All baked goods, breads jams, spreads, donuts, cakes, pastries come from the kitchen. The restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch daily, except Monday. In addition to the home-made quality of the food, expect massive servings. Hazels Diner and Bakery ReviewThough technically it was lunchtime, I ordered breakfast - simple, ham and eggs, potatoes, rye toast. Everything was prepared precisely as ordered and meticulously plated. The thick-sliced house-baked rye is amazing. Excellent quality ham off the bone, salty and smoky with a very firm bite. I'm a ham snob and this is an excellent choice. My companion ordered a variation of eggs benedict, poached eggs, strip bacon, artichokes and spinach atop a house-baked English muffin and bathed in silky, creamy Hollandaise in ample quantities. ( "Excuse me, could you bring a tumbler of that and then look away while I chug it?"). The restaurant is pleasantly decorated with Americana, and service is very small-town friendly. Unisex bathroom is immaculate. Baked goods are available for purchase, including breads, donuts, muffins and other pastries. There are a few tables outside and they beckon passersby to grab a donut and coffee and watch small town America go by on a lazy summer morning. The restaurant/town is a mere ten minutes south if you're staying in the Lake Geneva resort area in Wisconsin, or an easy, pleasant drive from most anywhere in Chicagoland. Ask for Amy, server extraordinaire. read more

This place was a definite gem! The staff was kind and friendly, even on a busy Sunday morning. We were seated under the 10 minutes that they said we'd need to wait for a table. Once seated, our server came over to take our drink order and gave us plenty of time to decide on our order. The menu has a great variety of breakfast and lunch items. We ordered breakfast. There were amazing options like their plate sized pancakes with the lemon curd and blueberries. That could have fed an entire family. The biscuits and gravy that my husband ordered was a heaping portion, even though it was a half order. He raved about the gravy, filled will lots of sautéed sausage bits and mouthwatering seasoning. The biscuits were fall-apart light and fluffy and so tasty. Definitely homemade. I order two eggs over easy with a side of ham, which took up half a plate and was tender and so juicy, like it was just sliced off a big baked ham. Finally, we shared their famous cinnamon roll. Again, giant sized and so tender and filled with delicious cinnamon sugar and topped with their smooth frosting topped with chopped pecans.
