First time here. My mom lives in area and hasn't the chance to give it a go. Our visit to Chicago this year was the perfect reason to go for it. Right as you walk in you know this place is a special spot for good eats. Friendly, professional, quality ingredients and plenty of creative options for all. Definitely added this place to our must stop when back in town from Oregon. #NomNom read more

Come try it for your self's read more

Management please turn off the Fox "news" propaganda channel, noone wants to watch that orange fool who's destroyed our economy, while we eat. Thank you. Other than that, we always have a great experience when we dine here. Loving the new open dining area, looks great. read more

So I treated my family to breakfast the other day (there were 8 of us). Food was ok, service was slowish but ok. Paid my bill and handed our server Sharyn a 25% cash tip. I forgot my cheaters/glasses so when we got home and I looked at the bill and there is a large party 20% tip on the bill? Sharyn never mentioned that the automatic tip was applied to the bill. Listen I should have looked closer but I feel like I was cheated! Unfortunately now I do not trust this restaurant because of the server and will not be going back! read more

Have had breakfast meetings twice here this week. New layout, great food and service. Strongly recommend.

Since I work out at a gym in the same strip mall, I finally tried this restaurant. Sounds like it was recently renamed and is under new management. It has an old school feel and definitely needs updating. It was pretty crowded when I was there, but we were seated immediately. It's kind of small and feels like the neighborhood diner. Great prices for the food, decent quality, quick service. If you are looking for a upscale breakfast spot, this isn't it. But, if you want a quick, cheap, casual spot - this is it. read more

My friend and I have been going here for breakfast for many years - since it was The Breakfast Club. They're making it fancier, but the food and ambiance aren't the same. We weren't greeted as long-time customers as we were in the past. The hash browns weren't crispy (downright soggy) and we got the two smallest eggs I have ever seen. Pancake and bacon were okay. Will be trying someplace else next time I drive from the north side. read more

Food was good, wait staff are very good here. Beware! Menu prices and the bill do not match. Twice in the last couple weeks now I have ordered items and the bill comes and the price was higher than the menu. The excuse was is the new menu's have not come in yet. The wait staff does not know which prices are not the same when ordering so you get the surprise when the bill comes. read more

Ownership and prices have changed. Food is decent for the area, only attended for breakfast several times. One pick up order I completed was VERY slow with zero comp for the delay. Servers are always good. read more

This is my 9 year olds favorite breakfast spot for the "golden brown pancakes" he would say. We are headed there again today because the service and food are both great. All their wait staff is very nice. I will probably get the Skillet and barely finish it again. Good Sunday spot for my family. read more

An extensive menu with large portions. Our waitress was attentive and very friendly. The food was delicious and the added touch of warmed syrup for my gluten free pancakes was appreciated. I wish we knew it was there sooner. read more

Was surprised to see Nikos was gone. We hesitated in trying the new Oak Lawn Diner. It turns out it was a pleasant surprise. The service was perfect, very attentive. The owner came around and checked on us numerous times. The food was terrific and generous portions too. The country fried steak was a stand out for sure! Give it a try, I know you will enjoy it. read more

This area was hard to find a breakfast place so when I saw the 4 stars I figured how bad could it be and I stopped by. The place is in a strip mall in the land of never ending strip malls one after the other after the other so parking was fine. The place is dated and on the dive side with it looking well worn was my first impression. It's not the cleanest with splatter on the wall and the glass in the picture in my booth. It looks like a garage sale threw up all over the place with all the country clutter as the decor. At 7:30 it's starting to fill up on a Saturday and it's mostly an older crowd of regulars. You could tell the service was going to be a problem because it was just getting started before the place filled up and I'm just sitting there on my phone waiting for someone to come over, my water took a good five minutes to hit the table. The menu had all the regulars but the country skillet states it's there best seller so I opted for that with scrambled eggs for a change. The skillet looked good with a pile of scrambled eggs on top and a side of country gravy. The skillet was ham, bacon, sausage, cheese, hash browns, green pepper, onion and mushrooms with a side of Greek toast. The skillet hit the table with no toast which she said she would be right back with, I like to start my breakfast with the toast to make a mini sandwich of the plate. I'm sitting there for a good five minutes while my food is getting cold as she is working the tables around me, still forgetting my toast and she finally sees me and says your toast and now I'm just annoyed with the no toast issue. The fluffy scrambled eggs had a weird texture like moist saw dust, kind of mealy which was completely turning me off. The skillet vegys had all the crispness cooked out of them and mushy. The whole breakfast was super average and nothing wowed me in any way. Now I'm just ready for a box and my check so I can leave and I'm still just sitting there and finally I asked the hostess for a box when she seated some people near me. The service here sucked and I could have been on my way much faster from another place I thought. My only high light from the visit was the complementary soup to go that I was offered while paying, they were stacked up next to the register so everyone must get one while paying. It was like a tomato beef barley and nothing special with very little beef but with some crackers it would be ok as a snack. read more

I have been going there when it was the breakfast club. Was top notch. Now a new owner took over. Wow the quality of food has steadily declined. Always out of ingredients. Prices has increased several times. And the food taste worst then Denny's. The servers are the same and are so nice and accommodating. But the owner is rude and childish. Sits at a table and plays on his phone. read more

The only reason I give this two stars is because I liked our server. The food took until the day after never to arrive (it was a weekday, they weren't busy at all) and it was average at BEST. A couple of the glasses were filthy as well. Next time, I'll go to McDonald's for breakfast and spend a third of the money for better quality. read more

The food was great, I had the Bocado omelet. Amazing! and Heather, our waitress, was the best!!

Great breakfast, best that I have had in a long time. What made it even more memorable was the friendly nature of the staff and clientele. I only wish that I lived closer. read more

Oak Lawn Diner - Country Scramble and Popeye Fritada - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

Pretty good but nothing to go out of your way for. Waitresses are friendly as is who I believe to be the owner, who came around to the tables to ask how the food was. Place looked clean and no complaints. Interestingly they get the coffee from Hawaii, but from Kauai instead of Kona! Didn't really think it was all that, but maybe still better than the usual restaurant coffee sold elsewhere. Kauai is where they make Rum not coffee. When in Kauai you drink coffee from Kona! If you're paying premium for Hawaiian sourced coffee, get it from Kona and make the price you're paying worth it! read more

Oak Lawn Diner - The Monte Christo is my go to meal... Two thumbs up - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

Different I have been to many breakfast places and most of them offer the same fare. Not Niko's, they do have some of the same items but they also have some new items. I was there more than a week ago and still thinking about their food. I had the bocado omelet and the Spanish omelet. I love avocado in any shape or form, raw or cooked. When I saw that they had an bocado omelet I new what I wanted. It comes with bacon and it is really good. But the Spanish omelet is even better with onions and mushrooms. They also have some of the best hash browns I have ever had. Toasty and perfectly seasoned. Pancakes are good as well. In my list to try now is the skillets, they look amazing. The place is located in a strip mall next to a gas station. Very easy to pass it but if you have this place in mind you will go around maybe a couple of times until you find it. At least that is what I did and it was worth it. Service is a little nicer than most diners. Price wise is comparable. read more

Horrible place to eat food gross . Owner is ignorant and unfriendly. nice waitresses but a depressing atmosphere. Don't bother food is not good at all. read more

Bummer! It is now under new ownership with a new name. While some of the servers are still the same, the food is no longer the same (portions have gotten a lot smaller and quality as well). It was a sad day to find out that our favorite breakfast place was changed. We will now have to find a new place as our last visit did not impress nor was it up to par to previous experiences. read more

Worst breakfast I have ever eaten. Will never eat here again. I'm going to McDonald's where at least you have a consistent product.

I just went there around 12pm today for a brunch with my goddaughter. The 2 person seating is literally in the center isle where everyone walks on both sides every 2 min which makes that very uncomfortable. Next, the waitress was non friendly and never came for a refill of coffee! The hash browns are extremely greasy and the worst I have ever encountered!! I will NEVER return!! No fresh butter for pancakes, French toast or anything syrup is required! Only packets. I still cannot believe they put a slice of cantaloupe half way on my over easy eggs!!! They don't honor their name"BREAKFAST " in the title. More like a diner on the side of a desert road! The only good thing about this place is............NOTHING! read more

This place was just "ok". The good things were: 1. They were open on a holiday (I went on the Fourth of July) 2. My waitress was pleasant 3. The wait time was reasonable What I didn't like: The food was "just ok" (in terms of how it tasted). I ordered the "Health Nut Omelette" which consisted of egg whites, avocado, turkey bacon & cheese" my toast (of which I upgraded to French instead) was also "nothing to write home about". The coffee was decent but I prefer flavored cream (as opposed to adding more sugar) and they only had regular cream. Overall, my experience was decent but not somewhere I'd be looking to return especially when there's Lumes & Original House of Pancakes. read more

I would recommend the countryside skillet. The gravy is a nice touch. The rest of my family loves to get the omelettes when they go here. When you pay they give you a cup of soup to go. I wish more breakfast places did that! All in all its not my first choice of breakfast spots on the south side, but it's quick and decent. read more

I come here all the time and absolutely love it. This one star review is for George and George alone. He seems to be in charge. As I sat at the counter, I witnessed him pick food from multiple plates and eat it. He then got mad at the waitresses for bringing to his attention a problem with the kitchen. Telling them to shut up multiple times. He even threw in a "chinga tu madre" to one of the ladies for good measure. (Google it if you don't know.) This guy is an animal and this can't be an isolated incident. I feel awful for the women that have to work for him. Something should be done. read more

I want my money back! First of all, my eggs had hair in them. Second, the turkey bacon that I ordered is the cheap, nasty $2 turkey bacon at the grocery store. And the $3 apple juice, which was supposed to be a large, came in a cup that was no bigger than my iPhone. So I'm assuming the small is a shot or they just screwed me over by giving me a small and charging me for a large. read more

Niko's is tucked in a little shopping mall with hardly a mention of it's presence. Honestly, I have drove past this place so many times going into Mount Greenwood and have never stopped in. Finally before looking for an apartment that day, it seemed like the perfect excuse to stop in some breakfast. Since it was Sunday, I was prepared for a long wait. But even though the place was small and crowded with people, we were seated in five minutes. The waitress came over and we immediately greeted with coffee (big plus). We ordered and it wasn't much longer that the food arrived. Like other reviews the portions were huge. I was stuffed for the whole day. The food tasted excellent as well. Their clientele was cool too. Everyone was having a great time and enjoying their breakfast. And the best part... no children screaming or running around the place even though families were everywhere. It was perfect harmony read more
