    Front of the restaurant

    Excellent, inexpensive breakfast place. I've been going for years. It's always good and the prices are hard to beat. Also, as an interesting fact, Jean Shepherd was a regular and did some of his writing from one of the small booths across from the kitchen. He was a regular way back when apparently.

    Clean dining room. Nice environment. Pretty mural.

    A typical diner; nothing flashy. The waitress was kind. The skillet was nothing superb, but still pretty tasty. Definitely a good price. Two of us ate for $17.18. Only caution: use the bathroom before you go...not pleasant in there.

    I love a good small town diner, and I thought Kennedy Cafe & House of Pancakes was great. We went…read moreto a show at The Cobra Lounge in Chicago and had decided ahead of time to crash at a motel on the way back to Michigan rather than trying to get home at 2 or 3 am, so we were looking for a breakfast spot nearby before we got back on the road. I saw Kyle V's review and figured it was a good bet as I trust him! The parking lot is a little small but we found space and were welcomed in right away. The menu is massive with tons of options and customizations etc. so it was a little overwhelming, but I went with the melted pot skillet (ham, bacon, sausage, onions, American fries, cheese, and three eggs, served with toast). Nate got an omelette with cottage fries (fried sliced potato rounds) and silver dollar pancakes. The food came out super quickly and the portions were massive. We definitely could have shared one item, but I was pretty hungry. The skillet was very savory and cheesy, and the eggs were perfectly over-medium. I had a bit of Nate's pancakes, and they were fluffy and light. Four meals + tip was around $70 which I thought was very good especially given how much food we got. The menu also includes lots of lunch options, and check the specials board in front for features. Thanks, Kyle V!

The food was exactly what you'd expect from a diner like this. Nothing out of the ordinary and special but exactly what you need before starting your day. The atmosphere looks like it hasn't changed in 100 years which is probably true. It was still clean though and the prices were average diner prices. We'd stop by again if we were in the area.

The menu covers breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, with what you want when you want, freshly prepared. I ordered a Mexican omelette with jalapeños on the side, and it was bursting with flavor. The biscuits and gravy were fluffy and soft. The sauce was creamy and delicious, with chunks of sausage. It's not my favorite type of sausage gravy, but it was perfect. The cottage cheese was cottage cheese.

Today she decided there was no way they would be able to mess up her order so we ordered from here again. And of course it was messed up. She gave up meat for lent and ordered fettuccine Alfredo and they added chicken even tho she specifically said no chicken. Then my omelette the cheese wasn't fully mixed into the eggs so 3/4 of the eggs had no cheese and then I had a clump of cheese at the end. And the worst was the salad it had a hair in it and bad cucumbers. I get it mistakes happen and stuff so we decided to ask for refunds for the salad and Alfredo since those were inedible and they said they can give us new food or store credit. Honestly I don't ever want to eat there again with that poor customer service to not issue a refund when they made the mistakes. That's just bad management.

I called right after I seen this and a different person on the phone answered & said I could still come in no issue as long as it's before 2:30pm. I told them what happened and they said the hostess did not know what I was talking about (trying to play it off) and claimed they only told me the business hours, not that I couldn't come in. Why would I lie about this? & if that was the case then why didn't she stop me from leaving? If I wanted the hours I would've called or looked on Google. But no, as I was going up the stairs the host had came to talk to me in the front entrance part of the restaurant before I could even enter the main door. Shame, I liked going here and as a table of 1 I would be pretty quick, about 30-40 mins in and out. Not sure why they didn't want to seat me vs the other group, and I probably wouldn't like to know the answer either. I typically tip more than half the price of my meal since the bill isn't much for one person, but I will take my money elsewhere then. For the owner, the host was the one on 04/12/2026 working at the time I stated above. They were a young female, with glasses, and medium cut hair. Not sure of their name.
