Topping at 89 degrees with a little breeze, it felt wonderful. A cute little lake view with a park for the kiddos. It was a decent place for any day outing. Just a nice view and something for everyone to enjoy their afternoon. Ryan's Pier had plenty of seating inside and out. A full bar with plenty of options. I ordered a margarita nothing too fancy but still really good. Menu was simple with burgers, wraps, quesadillas and a kiddos menu. A typical bar menu. Except Ryan's Pier was a total hit, and our new lunch time outing! Everything was really good! We ordered the kids cheese quesadilla, chicken wrap with onion petals and some homemade crab cakes. Everything was really delicious for our lunchtime and very much appeasing. Our entrees came out hot and ready! Didn't take no time! Our waitress and the staff were terrific! Nice smiles with great hospitality. The women were patient and pretty much laid back. Good service, nice view and great company is always a great time! Always my motto! Check em out!

I had a pretty mixed experience at George's Family House Restaurant…read more I'll start with the positive--our server Christine was amazing. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about getting things right. She noticed right away that my steak wasn't cooked correctly and went out of her way to have it remade. Honestly, she's the reason this review isn't lower--she absolutely deserves recognition (and a raise). That said, the main issue was the food and how it was handled by management. I ordered a NY strip and eggs, medium rare, and the first steak came out closer to medium well/well done--very chewy and not what I asked for. Christine had it remade, but even the second steak was still overcooked. She even had me cut into it at the table so she could see for herself, and it clearly still wasn't right. (Second steak in the photo) When the owner came over, instead of acknowledging the issue, he insisted it was "pink" and basically dismissed the concern. Then, when I was paying, he told me that if I wanted it more pink next time, I should order it rare--which completely missed the point. That kind of response really left a bad impression. As for the rest of the food, it was just okay. The eggs and pancakes were decent, but the potatoes were only room temperature. Overall, great service from Christine, but the food consistency and especially the owner's attitude made this a frustrating experience. I'd come back for the service, but they definitely need to improve how they handle customer concerns.

It's obviously smoke-free now as all Illinois establishments, but it brings back memories! The food is American comfort and very good. I usually stop in for lunch and get either a BLT or club sandwich. The food is quick, inexpensive and good. The potato salad and coleslaw are always great. It is definitely a local diner with "locals" who hang out everyday. The waitresses are great and even if it's your first visit, everyone in the diner will greet you like you're a regular.

The service was very kind and prompt, and it was clear that the staff cared about our whole experience. Came here while visiting my sister, and she claimed this is their favorite local spot for both breakfast AND lunch/dinner! It certainly did not disappoint. They had about 5 specialty coffee drinks on the menu (all holiday themed). We got two (one peppermint and one gingerbread), and they were presented beautifully. For food we got a few breakfast sandwiches, European pancakes, a banana peanut butter toast, and some sides of bacon. All of it was VERY good and nearly all of it (including their bread) was scratch made. My favorite item was their croissant sandwich... if the croissants were homemade this place would easily have been a 5. All accounted for, I cannot wait to return for dinner. Thank you!
