    Vegetable panini
    Romy A.

    Though outside won't give you the awe-factor appearance nor will the inside decor, but everything else will. The restaurant staff's service and friendliness is always 100%. Also, for being post COVID pandemic their prices are very excellent compared to neighboring breakfast places. This is my third time back and today it's for Father's Day. Of all the places we can drive to, my dad really loves them! He raves about their hash browns: perfectly crunchy yet soft in the right places. I've had a few items at this point and everything always tastes great. They're very popular so there seems to always be a wait in my every visit. The smaller parties get seated quicker like any place. Very family friendly: from the very young to the very old (who use a cane). The bathroom isn't wheelchair accessible from a glance today. If this is not a factor for you or for your party, Homer's Cafe is definitely worth a visit!

    #14/2022 Well it's really two and a half stars but I'm giving the benefit of the three. This place has been in the shopping plaza for a long time this is the first time I've ever come down for breakfast and I was not very impressed. There was really nothing that stood out. I walked in I sat down ordered up some coffee I saw that they had Xfinity Wi-Fi tried to log on to it said you needed a code. I asked a waitress for it and she said oh it's a very long one and I don't know what it is I'll try to get the cook to get it to me. Well that never happened the whole time she was kind of aloof about the whole thing but it is what it is. I ordered a traditional eggs benedict with hash browns. The eggs were nicely poached the Hollandaise sauce was standard good the hash browns or a little on the greasy side but they were okay too but nothing to really rave about. This is a small storefront classic strip mall not big at all very quaint but when you open the door it does bring in a draft many people had their jackets on. It definitely gears towards locals for the most part but I have a usual place I prefer when I'm home but it was a little crowded on the Saturday morning so I opted to have someplace else and I thought I'd try this place had been here I don't know close to 10 years maybe or so. Only open in the mornings like many places strictly for breakfast into early lunch and close by 2:00 p.m.. But all in all first impressions it's just small Cafe with decent food but nothing that really stands out but I gave it the three stars instead of two and a half. Will I return? It's nothing I would make a point to say oh boy I can't wait to come down here and go eat again but if I end up here then I do but it wouldn't be one of my top choices got to be honest.

    BLT with extra Bacon and Chicken Pita.

    Quick service, great tasting breakfast dishes. Very friendly staff! Our go to place for quick satisfying breakfast.

    Breakfast wrap with chorizo and cheddar cheese. Side of fruit instead of hash browns.

    This place is a secret little gem in Homer Glen. It's small but packs a fresh homemade punch. The food is delicious. I have not had a bad meal here. They have these home fries that are amazing. The pancakes are like my Mom's: Fluffy and amazing. The breakfast wrap is by far my favorite dish. The servers are friendly and accommodating. The coffee is always fresh and hot. Whenever I'm here, I see neighbors reminiscing and catching up. It's truly a Locals place.

    Breakfast!

    Very casual breakfast/lunch spot in Homer Glen, IL. Service is attentive but not overbearing. Food has always been very good. Portions are plentiful. Plenty of free parking.

It did not taste like lemon. We did not take home our leftovers, my wife had manicotti's. The manicotti was better than the lemon poser rigatoni dish. The cauliflower app was good but the sauce and toppings must have cost a lot or something to make bet it was basically deep fried and very very lightly drizzled. We ordered our appetizer drinks and meal all at the same time. Thank the lord we did cause I don't think we would have seen our server much anyways. Our server was nice as all the servers were when we saw them. The prices were as expected. It is a nice restaurant. Families were there couples, a nice mix of people for the restaurant I would go again but I was not really impressed. If I was being asked on a second date i definitely would have to play hard to get if this was the destination. It did not live up to the hype for me. I know it's a nice looking restaurant I can get reservations to and bring my kids and family. Food and drink wise I'd stick to beer and wine no seasonal offerings and go for what they pride themselves on...smoked foods

We…read morewere greeted right away, seated quickly, and handed menus along with the day's specials. The menu is surprisingly broad, with plenty of appealing options. Our server--who was also tending bar--took our drink orders. Soft drinks arrived promptly, and we asked for a few extra minutes to look things over. I considered a burger, but at $25 it felt a bit steep, so we went with a mix of other dishes: Cedar Plank Salmon with Basil Soup, a Keto Cobb Salad with dressing on the side, The Park Reuben with fries, and a Blackened Chicken Panini with fries. Impressively, everything came out in about ten minutes. The Reuben and the Panini were both solid choices, though the fries were only room temperature. The salmon had great flavor, though the rice could have been a bit more cohesive. The Cobb salad hit the mark--fresh, satisfying, and easy to customize with the dressing on the side. Our server checked in regularly and kept our drinks refilled. The crowd was a mix of regulars, retirees, and casual diners, and we found ourselves eyeing other entrées as they passed by. The restaurant also has a great patio that will be perfect once the weather warms up, plus a well‑appointed bar area with plenty of TVs. Winter Olympics highlights were playing during our visit, adding to the relaxed atmosphere. We took a look at the dessert menu, but nothing really grabbed us this time. Even so, we all agreed we'd come back to try more of the menu--there's definitely potential here.

I visited on a Saturday for lunch and had no problem getting a table. The menu had a variety of appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches, and mains. I loved how large of a beer and drink menu they had as well as the fact that their patio is dog friendly! I got the Nana's Meatball Sandwich and loved the flavors! They put the red sauce on the side to add your preferred amount. Any entree to split does add a $1.50 gratuity. Others in our group got The Girl's Signature Truffle Shuffle Burger and The Philly. The flavors were great, sandwich portions were large, but fries could have been crispier. Our server Souzie was incredibly kind, full of energy, and did a great job checking in on us. The items vary in price where some are value driven and some seem to be a premium. Overall, thoroughly impressed by my visit and the food quality. Tip: Check out their daily specials and happy hour to get extra deals!

When we arrived, the place felt empty, which was surprising given that it was Columbus Day and many people were off of work and school. Our waitress was friendly and checked in on us frequently, and the dining room was clean, but the food was just mediocre. We started with bruschetta ($10) and cheese curds ($11) for appetizers. When the cheese curds arrived, we were pretty confused because they looked more like chicken tenders than cheese curds. They were greasy, puffy, and barely had any cheese inside. They didn't taste good at all, so one of my friends let the waitress know we didn't like them, and she took them back without issue. The bruschetta was much better and made with fresh ingredients, but it lacked flavor despite the freshness. We did finish these, though. For my entrée, I kept it simple and ordered six chicken tenders ($10) with a side of BBQ sauce. They were decent--crispy and well-cooked--but lacked any real standout flavor or seasoning. As for my friends, they were generally pleased with their meals. One ordered the crispy chicken sandwich ($14), which she enjoyed, though she was disappointed she didn't realize she could have added sauce. The waitress hadn't asked if she wanted any, and my friend must have missed this on the menu, so a reminder would have been helpful. My friend did like the sandwich's crispy texture, though. My other friend had the Cajun pasta ($12), which she liked a lot. It had a nice spicy kick and came with two pieces of garlic bread. All in all, I don't think I'd rush back here. The menu has a lot of options, and the prices are reasonable, but nothing we had stood out enough to make me want to return.
