Friendly diner along the I-55 corridor. Older building that feels a little like grandma's house. Bathroom was clean and set up nicely. We stopped in for breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed every bite. Our hash browns were the best we've ever had at a restaurant. Seriously amazing and crisp. Fresh soup daily! Daily specials! Adult beverages! Hostess and wait staff were friendly and attentive. A great diner for satisfying your road trip hunger. read more

We have come here for breakfast a few times now. We are very pleased with this establishment. The service is friendly and efficient, the food is delicious, the portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. The atmosphere is very hometown and it seems they have many regular customers. read more

Food and Service very good, but it has been for ever. The extra egg is nice touch, people appreciate the value. Years ago, we had elderly folks on the block that loved/lived there--nearly daily, if they missed two days, someone was stopping by to check on them, just nice folks. You got my "breakfast" vote!!!! (4stars = VERY GOOD-----I reserve 5stars for "way above & beyond" expected service. read more

Yannis Cafe - Yanni skillet - Cafes Near Me - Manteno, Illinois

Shit show today!!! I just wanted a toasted everything bagel with vegetable cram cheese. After patiently waiting over a half hour, I got a plain cold bagel with veg cream cheese ..... they sent it back and "fixed it" and I got the sane thing again. I was out of patience at that point and left. Take peoples names when you take their order and call out their name when the order is ready. read more

With tasty food and friendly staff, Yanni's is your typical "small town" restaurant. It's warm and welcoming, and the food is always satisfying. From homemade soups (different every day) to sandwiches to eggs and bacon, Yanni's has it all. I usually get the South of the Border Skillet, but the country fried steak and eggs is always a good choice too. (My second favorite for sure) For lunch I always get the clubhouse sandwich and homemade soup. It's affordable, it's quick, it's friendly. It's definitely my go to breakfast place in Kankakee county. read more

I placed an order last Sunday. The Patty Melt was well seasoned and sautéed onions not over cooked. The seasoned fries, the outer layer had the perfect crisp. The chicken and rice soup was hot, great favoring and a was delicious. I highly recommend this meal. read more

Food is very good, leans toward traditional, comfort food. Coffee is juuust right first thing in the morning. YUM. Service is friendly and efficient, kitchen is quick and accurate. read more

Good place for breakfast. We love the farmers skillets and the cream of chicken soup.

The people here are very nice the food is good but lacks flavor you need salt and pepper for anything you order here forsure. It's ALWAYS busy and you barely ever can reach them by phone but the commute however far it is is definitely worth making. Every time I come to Yannis I am greeted by Friendly smiling faces. They don't rush you or seem bothered by any request. I will definitely return. read more

Staff is great food is good and hot One of the best places around I like the speedy service read more

Mayberry's in town was crowded. So I thought I would try this place. I don't like to leave poor reviews but I have to. I never received my coffee that I ordered. Fortunately, I wasn't charged for it but I wanted it. My chicken noodle soup was cold and seemed like something from a can. I couldn't finish it. My roast pork entree was also cold. It's as though I received someone's leftovers that weren't reheated. I sorry to write this but I learned my lesson. Stick with Mayberry when I'm that way read more

Used to go there all the time till one of the owners started to single out people and thought is was okay to yell at them. I loved the whole I dot mean to yell at you or want to be. Ride to you , but... food is good wish so is the male owner read more

Have moved to Manteno a little over two years ago and visited Yannis in numerous occasions. Very satisfied with the service each and every time. Never had any problem with any of my meals. Waitresses have always been friendly, courteous and professional. My wife and I will continue eating there as well as when I met a friend there for breakfast. read more

Best breakfast in the area! Anything you get here is good and fast! Great service and staff

Love this place! Ppl are warm & friendly!! Breakfast & lunch Food is delish & comfort feel good!! Highly recommend!!

This is a quaint restaurant in downtown Manteno. The food is delicious and service is always great. They have the best patty melts and biscuits and gravy. read more

Walking in can be a bit intimidating. Almost like walking into someone's kitchen uninvited. As soon as you walk thru the door you're in the small dining room. All eyes on you. BUT the staff that I've encountered made me feel welcomed. The staff are friendly and accommodating. I don't live in the area and I only order when I'm at work but the the food is always hot and tasty. I have yet to have any complaints when I order from here. read more

I was in town for a baseball tournament and we stayed at an Airbnb nearby. We went around 9:30 on a Saturday morning, it was busy but we were seated within a few minutes. Our server was very friendly, the food came out fast & hot, was delicious. For 4 of us to eat/drinks, it was only $41! Definitely would go back to this little gem. read more

Always a fresh made meal , nice portion, friendly staff, cozy place , and good coffee

100% the best breakfast place in town the staff are fun and compassionate. Good portion size for the price. The perfect mom and pop restaurant in my opinion. read more

I enjoyed my meal from start to finish. All homemade. Friendly employees. Quick service. Will explore the menu if I'm near there again. I had a crazy skillet with biscuits and gravy on the bottom,next potatoes,then sausage,bacon,cheese. Eggs on top. Will need a recliner afterwards. read more

Prices are more than 25% Higher than what the website menu advertises. I expected to pay $36.00 for a call in order for the office and was surprised with a $60.00 bill! There is absolutely no warning about the credit card fee until it is time to pay. I do not like these sort of surprises. I will not be back. read more

Food was delicious, waitress was nice, owners on site were also really nice. Most of all was the good fresh food!

Food is excellent customer service right on track honestly a great breakfast or brunch restaurant wish it was open in the evenings though.

Always a hard working crew in Yannis good food fast service. Has a nice hometown feel I would highly recommend!

This is a cute hometown restaurant. Waitresses seem very stressed though. I give 2 stars because I've been here a handful of times and every time their eggs have an awful taste. Almost like wet dog. & I mean every time!!! I also had a conversation with people who live in the town and they all say the same thing about the eggs. They just don't taste fresh at all and definitely something is off. Never had worse eggs. Hopefully they will look into this. read more

Five stars. For us lee go to yannis three or four times a week .for breakfast or lunch. Food is always good the staff is friendly. And effient. Coffee is kept refilled at breakfast. The owner is fantastic and will send extra soup home with us to help feed shut ins in our senior park. We love this place . read more

Greeted with smiles and warm hospitality, and barely sat down before server was there offering us hot coffee. Before we even entered tho, we noticed the posted signs out front protecting our constitutional rights. We travel a lot and this was a first! Our waitress was awesome. I accidentally ordered the wrong meal and she took care of it right away with no issue. My mistake and she still took care of me. A table full of law enforcement was there. We mentioned that we wanted to offer something to contribute to their meal and she said that's great and all but her boss already picked up their tab. Omg, YES, how cool. So proud and impressed. Our meal was delicious. Coffee, orange juice, crepes, skillets, all just delicious. Service was on point. Didnt need to ask for anything. I hope our travels bring us thru this little town again just so we can stop by here again. read more

Have been quite a few times and always pretty good. Service is good. However, so embarrassed today, met 2 friends and I picked the place and the food was terrible. French toast was burnt! And they still served it to 2 of us. Awful. Why? Another just had eggs. Everything plopped on plate... not a garnish, parsley, orange slice... could have even dusted that French toast with a powder sugar shake to try to hide it being blackened. read more

They are a good restaurant. Best one in Manteno. Just don't go on holidays. Food is rushed and not cooked right. It also takes over an hour on holidays to get food, which that is understandable. Any other day, best place around. read more

I've been coming here for years. Have never had a bad meal here. Quick and friendly waitresses. Fair prices. A good old fashioned American Diner. read more

Yannis is so good! My favorite place for breakfast! Always fast service and the employees are very kind.

The food is acceptable. The portions are large. Service ranges from excellent to indifferent. I probably would've added a star, but I can't stomach going to a place that decides to espouse its political views at the front door. Whether or not I disagree with them, I am there for a meal, not for a lecture on masks and vaccines. read more
