This one was a pretty good meal with nice healthy portions. When we arrived, they were a little crowded, but not overly crowded so we were able to get seated right away with no weight. The restaurant was very, very clean almost like it was newly opened. I like the multiple seating options that they had available and also love how they had a nice menu that was not too much but just enough of something for everyone. As far as the food, everything was great. We were not able to finish it all the only thing that we would change is the quinoa bowl to have a little more seasoning, but everything else was cooked to perfection. I will definitely visit again. And customer service was top tier! read more

This was my first time to this lumes location, but I have been to at least 3 other locations. This parking lot is cramped and people fly around the corner. Service was very slow. The server kept disappearing. I will say you get a lot of food for your money. This location is nicer than some of the other lumes locations. read more

Found out about this cafe in Willowbrook after looking up places that have brunch. It turns out there's a few locations around here. Lumes is known as one of the longtime favorites for brunch in the suburbs. A place not just for mornings actually. They also have a few things for lunch. Coming on weekdays is better because it's not as crowded. It's always crowded of course but you actually can find a few seats. The breakfast options are the things most people get from here so most of the menu consists of these. Of course not everyone wants to get it. There's also lunch options like salads and sandwiches. At lunch we got a couple of these items. It's about $15 to get the Power Spinach Salad. A lot comes on it. There's chickpeas, cucumbers, house vinaigrette, onions, parsley, pomegranates, quinoa, and spring mix. Quite enough. The sandwich options include classics like Reubens. Great to come here hungry. It's got a few locations. They're open until the early afternoons so hours are limited which is the only bad thing. read more

Great place for breakfast. Lots of choices and large portions. Friendly staff keep your coffee cup full.

The food is excellent! I recommend the spinach & fetta omelette! The ingredients are so fresh and the staff is very friendly. read more

Restaurant was super clean and I like the open concept. The food was delicious and service was fast!! The staff were super kind and attentive. It has become one of my favorite new breakfast places. I love their pancakes and waffles along with their soups!! read more

Ehhh was ok This was hard to give this review.. I rarely go to new places to do reviews but I thought I'd add this. This was the typical breakfast/lunch place. Mom had their Dutch Baby pancake which was the typical kind. I had their classic panini which looked a lot better than it was. It was very ordinary no flavor or taste to it whatsoever. They should marinate the chicken before cooking?? If I was to go and spend the money again on a basic lunch I'd much rather go to Waffles, Blueberry Hill, or Citrus Diner. I did love their waffle fries. I'd give them another try.. read more

When you first walk in there is a small sitting area and a check in counter. The lady took our name down and said a table for two would be ready in 5 minutes. We ended up waiting at least 10 minutes. We were seated in a comfortable booth and were greeted by our waitress within 2 minutes. She was very nice and took our order. The restaurant is full and it is pretty loud in here. There is no music playing in the background. We must be sitting near the kitchen because you hear lots of plate clinging noises. So I would not recommend this restaurant if you wear a hearing aid. My husband drinks a lot of water When we dine out, we always ask for a carafe or pitcher but she says they don't have any here. But the waitress did gave him a large cup which was nice. They have high chairs stacked in the corner. There was a family with a strolled parked by their table so there is plenty of room for that and I love that this restaurant is family friendly. There are plenty of table options. Booths, square tables that seat 4, round tables that seat 5 and a long booths against the wall with several small tables with chairs on the opposite side of the table that can seat a group of 10 or 5 individual couples. My husband ordered the Corned Beed Hash and eggs and loved it! Definitely worth the $14 price tag! I ordered the American cheese and protein skillet. It was really good! I chose the turkey sausage and eggs over easy. You get 4 eggs and lots of turkey sausage cup up into bit sized pieces. The pancakes have powdered sugar on them and are pretty large! The food taste really good and is definitely worth the money! We both left the restaurant full and satisfied and definitely recommend dining here if your in the area looking for a breakfast or lunch place! read more

It was breakfast- hard to mess up! You walk in and it smells like coffee and pancakes. It's loud and busy, but that's what makes it! The drinks were okay and the food was meh. I received a drink with rotten fruit on it. As well as the fruit on my main plate was furry, molded and gross. Server never came back to check. A woman I'm assuming is the manager walked right by me, noticed me looking around and she walked backwards to check on me. Like didn't hesitate, dead in her tracks, started reversing to me. She asked if it was okay because I hadn't touched it. When she saw the reasoning you could tell she was appalled. She offered a new one and asked if there was anything she could do. I respectfully declined. She comped my entire check and thanked me for still leaving my server a tip. Things happen! For that, I will be retuning. read more

Ruta K. provided remarkable service from start to finish. She was incredibly attentive, genuinely friendly, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. Her positive attitude and attention to detail made the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Ruta K., for your outstanding hospitality! read more

What is the glob of yellow stuff (supposed to be butter) they serve on their crepes? It doesn't melt in the microwave or under hot water I'd like to know what they are serving and customers presume is butter. read more

Great service and a tasty special. Other dishes looked appetizing and plentiful (many diners were taking home leftovers).

Today was the first time my wife and I went to Luke's. I had the steak and eggs. My wife ordered blueberry cheesecake and that were as dry as cardboard. She couldn't eat them. You'd think the Waitress take it off the bill but she didn't. I complained at the cashier but they didn't care. I will NEVER go back there and wouldn't recommend anyone go there. They don't know what customer service is and don't do the right thing.. that's my two cents. Take it for what you will. read more

Wonderful breakfast with my daughter! Light fluffy pancakes and a huge omelette! She had the veggie skillet and it was huge and tasty as well. The service was wonderful, attentive, but not overwhelming. The restaurant is bright and clean and in good condition. Plenty of parking and seating. read more

This place had great food, but now they don't care about quality. I had Lumes burger with waffle fries, the burger was unseasoned and the burger was dry like no dressing at all, waffle fries was over fried. Please are nice and clean with great service read more

Always a positive experience Breakfast is always fresh in a clean environment and I always have leftovers. read more

Pretty good customer service. The place is spacious and clean. The menu isn't too overwhelming, I would like to see more options for non meat eaters but other than that they have a good variety of breakfast and lunch. I would go here for a business meeting or a lunch date with a friend. I definitely would go back. The food was ok, it wasn't bad. I ordered the buttermilk pancakes and smoked salmon toast. The pancakes were ok, I enjoyed the smoked salmon toast. I would order the toast again, I'm obsessed with smoked salmon *sigh*. I wanted to try the Dutch baby but on the menu it said it would take a while to cook and we didn't have a lot of time to spare so I opted for regular pancakes. I can't wait to go back in the future and try more menu items. read more

We came here early morning and the restaurant was pretty empty and we were seated immediately. I had the florentine benedict and a 1/2 order of biscuit and gravy, husband had a skillet and I got a kids meal with a little bit of everything for my toddler. Holy moly, the portion sizes here are huge. I've never had a benedict with 3 eggs or a skillet with 4 eggs! My daughter's kids meal was more than enough food for an adult. Prices are decent, so I guess it's a good value since you do end up with leftovers for another meal. I thought the biscuit and gravy was too salty so I probably won't order that again. Service was quick and friendly. They do charge an extra fee for using a credit card! read more

What happened to this place??? Used to be good. Overcooked French and waffle fries. Old wilted celery in the awful Bloody Mary's ...that taste weird. read more

We came at about 10:45 on Sunday. Was quite busy which is to be expected. I got the signature waffle, 5/5 stars. My boyfriend got the apple orchard turkey sandwich with waffle fries. 3/5 stars, turkey was very dry. Was pretty loud in there especially being seated by a party but we were sat in a booth and people watching during our wait. Overall we enjoyed just maybe avoid the turkey unless you like it dry. $33 for the two of us with just the 2 food items. read more

On a trip to Chicago I was looking for a place to fill our stomachs before we adventured through the city. The reviews for Lumes seemed solid so we gave it a try. The staff come across as a very mom and pop, super friendly, happy to make recommendations and knew the menu very well. The layout looked more chain (in a good way) very spacious and clean, efficient. Their menu created and issue because everything looked amazing and they had rotating specials on top of that. I ordered the spartan omelette which came with pancakes or toast and hashbrowns. I went with the pancakes. My only complaint was that I wish I could have ordered a half size!! You definitely get your moneys worth and it was so good. My boyfriend got the pumpkin pancakes which was a special and oh my they were heaven. We were both so full when we left and at a reasonable price. They do have a spacious parking lot and are only open til mid afternoon. If you are in the area, I would suggest checking them out. read more

My husband and I always wanted to try Lumes since they opened! It's a nice place great servers! Clean and busy on a Sunday morning!!! Soft music in the background. Coffee was good, consistent refills; even a cups to go! Great idea! I ordered the two eggs (I asked for medium over was a little loose), corn beef hash with has browns and toast. The eggs were actually 4 which I wish they wouldn't do. I know they are small but 4 eggs are a bit much. The corn beef hash I couldn't eat because it was minced and hard to chew I bypassed it. My husband had the eggs, ham, pancakes and hash browns. The star of the meal was the pancakes. My husband me so we shared; the ham was good and next time I'll order the pancakes and request only one or two eggs. There was a lots of food! More is not always better! I will also try their lunch at another time. I hope they consider a senior menu or smaller meals. Offer more options for food portions! Cost was $15.00 for the meal. Give it a go!!! read more

This is beyond the typical breakfast place in all areas. The food was excellent and tasted fresh! Lots of places it seems like the eggs are homogenized or everything was cooked at the same time in the same pan. Service very attentive despite being very busy. Everyone's prices have gone up but first place in a long time I didn't feel like I'd been "taken". Definitely recommend. read more

Great food. Large portions. Friendly service and conveniently located close to Peet's grocery store just off route 83and Plainfield rd.

The waiter was really great. I go there once a month. He remembers me and knows what I want. Great food.

I'm here for Mother's Day and loving the speedy service and tasty menu. I had the Kayana with a side of crispy bacon. The eggs are perfectly infused with feta, tomatoes and onion. My sister ordered a veggie skillet which was fluffy and flavorful, my mom got the classic two eggs over easy. She said they were fine lol read more

Food was good . There was a lot for the Denver omelet. However, we were rushed! I was asked 3 times if I wanted a to go bed not even 5 minutes after getting my breakfast! RUDE! The Bloody Mary was gross sent it back and they charge 3% if you use your card which is not displayed anywhere except on the cash register when you're paying. read more

If u don't mind waiting 40min for rubbery crepes while ur phone can't connect to the internet this is the place for u.

This hidden gem is owned by the same folks who started Lumes in the south suburbs. It's a little unknown in the western burbs, but their food is good and the space is clean and modern. I had biscuits and gravy, and they were pretty good. The coffee was fresh and the service was impeccable. We will be back. read more

Been meaning to try this new brunch spot and finally had a chance. Came on a Saturday but it wasn't packed. Place is actually pretty big. The food came out very quickly. I had a skillet and my husband had the Benedict. Both portions were big and I appreciated that it wasn't greasy as some breakfast spots. read more

Sad to say.... been waiting to try this place... and I was just so disappointed today I ordered corned beef hash omelette and was really forgettable. I envisioned it to be meaty and hearty but was the complete opposite. Pancakes that came with, are flat and not fluffy. Coffee flavored creamer was not given freely, you need to ask for it. The only good thing that I found here is their Amish jelly which was amazing ( my BFs toast came with this jelly ) That's what I'm looking for when I visit a new place... What makes them unique.... what can they offer different... in this case... been to so many breakfast joint like Blueberry Hill and Jam & Jelly... this place just don't cut it for me.... read more

Came in today on a Wednesday for brunch. It wasn't busy at all! (Taking note that I came on a weekday.) I was seated upon arrival. I had an amazing server, who did a great job! He was also bilingual and helped me out translating to my aunt that was visiting from Mexico. It's a really nice setting! Now the food was SO tasty and delicious. We really liked it! I had an avocado toast w an egg, brioche French toast and omg, everything was just great! They have various options for the kids which I LOVE (I have a son.) & my aunt was super satisfied w her plate. As well as my boyfriend. We ALL loved our dishes and the amount they serve you is enough to share honestly! I had to take my brioche French toast home. I live in Chicago so it's definitely worth the drive for the food and service. 10/10 I recommend. read more

Nice looking restaurant, very clean and great staff. The food was delicious....definitely going back.

Lumes is a good pick for a breakfast spot. They have a variety of options to pick from and their portions are big. The staff there is always very polite and attentive. The food is ok it's hit or miss. I would highly recommend the German pancake, not a common breakfast option and it's delicious. read more

The inside of the restaurant was clean and the staff was nice. The breakfast is a good portion size with double yolk eggs. The coffee was your typical diner food but the food was slightly above your typical diner breakfast. We got the veggie omelette and corned beef hash, both of which came with your voice of either toast or two pancakes. read more

This place is terrible. Worst breakfast food I've ever had. 3% service fee if you pay with a card, what a scam. The waitress was terrible. She didn't check on us once until the end. At which point we sent a dish back and someone in our group couldn't even eat because we were finished. Didn't even want to take leftovers home it was so bad. Tried to wave multiple people down and got ignored. This is not like the likes of the past. Quality and care is not there. Go to any other breakfast spot. read more

Food is amazing. The service was very friendly and helpful. The place was also very clean

Its hit or miss. Crepes are amazing... got food poisoning once after leaving this place ‍ (chorizo omelette) Friends went on a different occasion - food poisoning. I would suggest a better look at kitchen because something is up... Caesar salad was good - liked the kale in it. read more
