They are both huge and well organized. I also like that their omelette selection has all the classics, but there are also options that go beyond the standard fare. Like I love their Bleu omelette, and I'm not sure I've seen anything similar to it at other diners. Also, the hash browns are fantastic and they give you a huge portion of them with your order. I loved the food! What sets Village Grill apart though is their set up and service. I absolutely hate diners where everyone is stacked on top of each other or spots where you have no table space. I like nice, big comfortable booths with ample privacy. Village Grill is awesome about this. Huge booths and if you're trying to get work done, it's an absolutely prime location. Finally, their service is incredible. Absolutely awesome waitresses, coffee filled until your hearts content, and your food comes out quick. Couldn't ask for anything more High end diner and I will be back!

We heard good things about Norm's Diner so decided to breakfast there one weekday morning recently…read more Street parking is available, but it's tight - even at 0800 AM. We dined indoors, but outdoor seating is available. The inside retains some of its old timey look; complete with metal steam hot radiators. The room is open; even cavernous. Bright, fresh clean. Loved the fresh wild flowers in tiny table vases! The time of morning was early enough that there was still plenty of seating. Kadie, our bubbly, knowledgeable server took the orders and remembered the additions and deletions my party requested. My companion raved about the fresh off the griddle, large, hot pancake received along with extra butter and REAL maple syrup. Indeed, i tried a bite, and it was light, fluffy and oh so delicious. I asked for the Egg and Pimento Cheese sandwich. The large sausage patty tucked into the sandwich was very flavorful. It was an excellent choice! Price point here is entirely reasonable given the quality of the food. Recommended.

We stopped into Ferndale's TOAST one weekday morning about 1030 am. Parking on the street was easy,…read morethough i think there's limited parking behind the eatery as well. The restaurant entrance dining area was nearly empty so we were invited to sit wherever we were comfortable. The place is beautifully decorated with toasters, art and flowers. Very clean too! I noticed the placement of noise-reducing, anechoic ceiling panels - very helpful when there's a full house of noisy patrons! The staff we interacted with were friendly, unobtrusive and knowledgeable about menu options. Another plus. I ordered a "hair of the dog" Breakfast Shot with accompanying OJ and bacon. It was delicious! My full order "Salmon Toast" loaded with lox, tomato, red onion, capers and cream cheese was HUGE, and tasted great! The toasted bread was warm and crusty too. Know that the other half of that sandwich came home with me for second meal. Price point is reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food and beverage options. I definitely recommend Toast in Ferndale.

This was my first time visiting Toast after hearing so many great things about the food. When we…read morewere seated, I noticed crumbs on the table and politely asked the waitress if she could wipe it down. She responded that she already had, but I pointed out that there were still crumbs there. She seemed irritated, so I even offered to wipe it myself if she gave me the towel. She then asked me to show her where the crumbs were and wiped them off. Unfortunately, her attitude throughout the interaction was very rude and unprofessional. My sister then asked to speak with a manager. When the manager came over, the other ladies in our group also mentioned the waitress's attitude. Instead of addressing our concerns professionally, the general manager became defensive and stated that the waitress did not have a nasty attitude. He then told us that if we wanted to leave, we could leave because he was not going to be bothered with us. He took our menus and asked us to leave simply because we requested that the table be cleaned properly. I would love to see better service and customers treated with respect! Ms Cheryl W.

There was a ton of purple cabbage, it about died my whole sandwich purple. With the homemade thousand island dressing I was hoping for a ton of flavor but it was pretty lacking in that area. The meat was ok. I did sign up for their rewards program and got a free cannoli! The cannoli was probably the best part of the meal. The shell was hard and the filling was delicious. Overall I wouldn't rush back anytime soon for a sandwich. I would try them again but try a different sandwich. And obviously get a cannoli or two!

It's a cute, small, quaint diner tucked away in a neighborhood. They have plenty of seating both inside and outside, and we were greeted quickly by the hostess, who gave us a table outside. The outdoor seating was really nice and made for a relaxing experience. Our waitress was super friendly and gave us plenty of options and recommendations to choose from. I decided to go with the an egg plate with bacon and the Apple Blueberry Pancakes. Those pancakes were AMAZING! They were honestly the highlight of my meal, and I'm still thinking about them. I already know I have to go back because I want to try more things on the menu--but if I'm being honest, those Apple Blueberry Pancakes are the main reason I'm going back! Overall, I had a really nice first experience. Cute atmosphere, friendly service, and pancakes worth coming back for. Definitely glad I finally gave this place a try!

I've heard about Whistle Stop Diner and wanted to try this place out. While on my way to the cat…read morerescue to donate cat food, I decided that since this was in the area, I would grab a bite and check the place out. There's limited parking but it's not terribly impossible to get a spot. I walked inside and the place was jamming! Patio was full, families waiting outside, and the windows open. Since it was just me, I was able to get seated at a two top, unfortunately right in the middle of the place. There was bar seating, but I wasn't feeling it this time, so two top table it was. The menu has a great selection of breakfast and lunch items for most anyone. I was torn between the breakfast burrito, potato pancakes and the breakfast burger. After asking my waitress some questions, I went with the breakfast burrito with chicken instead of chorizo. (no pork for me!) I made this decision based off the fact that they were able to swap out the pork for chicken, and it wasn't a massive burrito, I loved the food and it was just the right portions. Hash browns were good, but tasted a bit funky. I don't know how to describe it, but maybe it was like the grill just got cleaned? I didn't finish them all because of the odd flavor, but also due to me inhaling my burrito at an accelerated pace. My server was fantastic and handled everything like a champ. Decor is spot on and I enjoyed my time here. Will return in the future!

Everything meshed together perfectly.

I'm going to preface this by saying that I think I might just not be an Italian Beef kinda gal…read more Despite living in Chicago for a full decade I embarrassingly never had one before, but I was near Matt & Mo's and saw the rave reviews and had to give it a try. Now, objectively I can say it's very good. The portions are huge, the meat is flavorful and juicy, the peppers were good. There's just some herb or something mixed in there in the marinade/aus jus, that I just don't think I like (I think it might be fennel? Something kind of licorice-y that I don't jive with). But if you're an Italian beef fan, or enjoy that flavor profile, you're gonna love it! Now, what I did love was everything else! The fried ravioli? Delicious! The french fries? So good! And a very generous portion of both! Service was also VERY friendly and everything was prepared quite quickly! It's a walk up window but there are some picnic tables for dining there, though I chose to eat in my car before making my way back home. I would 100% come back by and go for perhaps a sausage or a coney dog next time, definitely stick with orders of those ravioli and fries, too!
