I've lived in the northwest suburbs for the past 20 years. I usually will stop at this place for typical Greek owned diner breakfast which have always been awesome. Being that I'm Greek myself and my family had many restaurants around Chicago. Recently though, I went in and noticed that they do the what I call "the Covid excuse" of charging a percentage of using a credit card. I understand and get that a lot of these business establishments are doing it. However, 3 Brothers is charging this fee when using a debit card. When I went there today, I saw that sign and I asked the one gentleman who I believe might be the owner if that fee app applies to debit cards. He told me that the cash register/card swipe just does what it does which I know is BS. The lady walked up and asked me if there was an issue and I believe her to perhaps be his wife. I told the both of them that federally it's illegal to charge a percentage when it's a debit card. When I told her that she advised that there's ATM in the corner when I told her I'm not interested and I left. I'm not trying to create any sort of havoc for this family business. However, I don't appreciate as a longtime customer to be taken advantage of. If you look at the Attorney General of Illinois website it'll explain the charging the fee for a debit card is federally illegal. Until this restaurant changes its ways I'm not going there. read more

Birthday dinner out with a dashing 79 year old bachelor and this what he wanted...just great food to go with the great company! This was a fab choice for dinner...5 Star everything! The interior of this diner was exceptional...modern, clean and very chic! Saturday night and this place was full of regulars and guests, so they are definitely doing something right here at Three Brothers. Diner food was excellent, service from Alexis was great and the couple that owns the place checked on us a couple of times during dinner--it seems like a rarity to meet the ownership during a visit. Our beverages never went empty, the service staff didn't miss a beat and our bellies were full of great, healthy food. All the salads were cool, crisp and the perfect size. 2 diners ordered the Calf Liver which was so tender--perfectly cooked with bacon and sautéed onions. Our Sizzling Chicken, which was a new entree, was excellent--crispy, cheesy, creamy, and spicy--all served on a sizzling platter. We even had an ice cream Sundae for the birthday fellow---he was so happy. Cakes, pies and ice cream sundaes were top notch. Their Key Lime Pie was sold out but there are plenty of other choices...cheesecake, Tres Leches, Vanilla Berry layer cake...the perfect finishers. Seek this place out...very good dinner cuisine and excellent, attentive serving staff make this a must go. Can't wait to come back for Swedish Pancakes and omelettes soon! read more

'3 Brothers' is a local family owned, diner-style restaurant with only ONE Location - This One. Like a number of other Diners in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, '3 Brothers' offers an ambitious menu (maybe a little Too Ambitious) which includes Breakfasts, Lunches, Brunches, & Dinners, encompassing ethnic specialties (Like a dozen supposedly Italian Pasta Dishes, a few fake Mexican items, and even an attempt at reproducing a couple of New York Deli Sandwiches). But I would stick to the American style diner items if I were you, because they work out to be the best things here. '3 Brothers' Opens at 7 AM for Breakfast. They Offer all of the most common breakfast items, as well as some specialty breakfasts like Swedish Pancakes, Rolled Oatmeal, Chicken Fried Steak, Eggs Benedict (many types), and Biscuits & Gravy. '3 Brothers' stops serving the Biscuits & Gravy and the Benedicts at 2 PM (or sooner if they run out).Their fresh Oatmeal is only served until 11am. The Senior Menu costs $13.99, which includes a choice of 'Soup or Salad - Potato, Rice, or Spaghetti - a Vegetable - a Dessert - & a Drink. Main Course choices include Stuffed Pork Roast with Gravy, Turkey Dinner (including Stuffing, Gravy, & Cranberries), Liver & Onions, Fried Fish or Shrimp, Patty Melt, and a few less interesting items. You can get this meal 'To-Go' without the drink or dessert. Available at lunch & dinner. There is NO Senior Breakfast deals. Not noted for it's extensive Bar Service - you can still get a half decent drink here. '3 Brothers' Closes at 9 PM. read more

Service as always was great. We spent $60 on food that was grossly overcooked. Fried chicken was so dry and tough I was able to eat a couple of pieces of meat from the small leg and nothing else. Salad was very fresh. Baked potato was also very dry. Veges were good. Ribs and chicken were also very overdone and we threw out most of it. Shrimp dinner was ok but shrimp was tough. Soup was good. Not sure what happened as we've never had an experience like this before. read more

Nice family resturant open since 1980 so you know it's good if it's been around this long. the place is very cozy I really enjoyed my veggie skillet and cinnamon swirl pancakes they were super light and fluffy. service was fast and pleasant. They even have a senior special meal which I saw a lot of seniors coming in and enjoying as the meal comes with a soup or salad and dessert for 13.99. Def will be back again totally worth it read more

This was the new restaurant of the week on my get out of town weekend since it's finally getting nice out. This is one of those Greek vibe style restaurants that looked relatively modern and clean. The hostess was very friendly and oddly seated me right in front of the hostess/register counter when there was plenty of secluded spots open. I started with a Bloody Mary spicy which was disappointing because it was in a plastic mug with a huge space in the bottom and it was small for a mug so I felt like I was getting ripped off for $9 and it had a terrible garnish of two olives only. It was not spicy at all and average at best. I'm a sucker for country fried steak so that's what I ordered with white toast. The country fried steak looked good with three eggs. The white toast was noticeably larger and more dense than the average white toast and more on the bakery side which was buttered, thank you. The eggs were perfect sunny side up. The hash browns were shredded and perfect golden brown. The country fried steak was also golden brown with a crispy shell topped with country gravy that tasted how you would imagine country gravy should taste. Overall it was a solid breakfast but the Bloody Mary left a bad taste in my mouth when the water plastic cup was bigger plus price vs size vs lack of toppings compared to other places and I do them all over the country. read more

My family and I ordered food for take out by calling in and ordering. The food was made right on time of pick up so everything tasted fresh when eating the food at home. Their portions were large and we enjoyed the taste of the food. Some of the food was a bit salty, but we had enough left over for additional meals after. We appreciated the multiple options of food on their menu. read more

If you want a very consistent diner, look no further. 3 Bros never disappoints. Great eggs, a surprisingly great Southwest Chicken Salad...great soups too. They have a pasta dish that while I know it tastes like the sauce starts from a jar, it's delicious anyway :). Their cappuccino is also great (though it's more like a dessert with the whipped cream). My family and I love it. For a diner it's 5/5...but as it's a diner it's the top mark 4/5. A great family restaurant, clean, consistent, great wait staff, solid food. Great eggs (I haven't ever tried the pancakes/waffles but imagine they are solid as the egg and dinner dishes are routinely good -- and there's an extensive menu with a variety of different cuisine like a good, old fashioner would have (yet 3 Bros has a much nicer, cleaner restaurant than the avg diner). I'd recommend 3 Bros over all the other competitors in town -- and actually would pick it over Around The Clock (though Around the Clooc has those desserts that get my kids going crazy --they are neck and neck) and Andy's too. read more

Good food, nice service, went on a Saturday evening quick to get a table. The staff was quick to attend to us. The restaurant appeared clean and other customers seems to be enjoying themselves. I had Swedish pancakes, husband has chocolate chip pancakes, daughter had French toast. The only mistake is i ordered tea and got a sprite. ‍ read more

Our group of 21 people had lunch @ 3 Brothers today. First making the reservation was without stress, you'd be surprised how many establishments turn down large groups these days. We were greeted by the manager upon arrival and our waitress Laurie guided us to our table. We all were delighted with the food, service, and the attention to detail provided by our waitress Laurie. We want to thank the management, kitchen, and staff for everything! A special thank you to Laurie, you ROCK girl! read more

Great breakfast experience, wonderful ambiance, great service, food is good good. Amy and I loved it. no pictures to share we were in a rush, to get to work, but y'all should check it out, you won't be disappointed. read more

I just visited there I ordered chicken and waffle, the waffle was cold. They did offer to remake it, I declined because my breakfast was already ruined. I had started eating the chicken, and it was hot and fresh, taking the waffle back to remake it would have made the chicken not hot and fresh. I complained about it and was told well we offered to remake it. Point is, the food should have been served hot initially. I will never dine here again. read more

Great family restaurant. Wide variety of food options. Good portions and fair prices. Service was prompt and friendly. Order was delicious. Family friendly. Highly recommend this restraint. read more

The service team was excellent. The spot reminds me of a contemporary Denny's, including food and beverage quality. My meal must've arrived within ten minutes. It appeared like it came straight out of a can and was warmed in a microwave oven. I should've noticed it by the low prices but didn't pay attention. read more

Great place! Food is good, decent portions and friendly staff! They are open for lunch and dinner. Try their cheesecake - oh my!

Really good family restaurant, friendly staff and food was delicious. Breakfast is busy so be prepared to wait a little.

The staff was friendly. The burger was the worst I've had, could not eat it. The texture was spongy and had grissly bits. The fries were ok. My daughter said her wrap was ok. $35 for an ok wrap and terrible burger. Will not be back. read more

Went to 3 Brothers restaurant for the first time today and the food and service were outstanding. Lori(Laurie?l was pur server and she was sweet, fun and put up with all our questions. She was one of the best servers I have encountered in awhile. I had crepes and my friend had lasagna and cream of chicken soup. Everything tasted great. Would definitely recommend. read more

Go there frequently as a local. Always satisfied with variety, food quality and service no matter what time I stop in. Comfortable seating

The best country fried chicken steak! And delicious dinner items! Always nice people! Very clean!

A great place for breakfast, been coming here nearly 25 years, I can't think of a bad experience I've ever had, either in service or food. Good service with good food and a friendly atmosphere. Huge menu with lunch and dinner, however I'm my experience has only been their breakfast! But that is the most important meal they say! read more

Went with friends this week and was so disappointed. The one positive was the young man who greeted us, seated us and ran the register. The food was mediocre at best. Most were egg dishes and just unseasoned. Pasta was not fully cooked and sauce was cold. Cups were dirty. Weren't given enough straws after asking repeatedly. When we received refills (only on water-not on the paid drinks as requested), the man serving them set them down so hard they consistently splashed into the food. Waitress seemed uninterested; if she would ask us how we were doing she would turn away half way into the question and be walking away before we could respond. Our bill was near $100 and we didn't even want to take the left overs with us, never received refills on the paid drinks, and were overall so disappointed and embarrassed we brought out of town guests here. read more

Came here for breakfast with a huge group. Sixteen in all. The servers were very cheerful and pleasant and they make you feel homely. No complaints on the food at all. Everything we ordered was good. read more

Drove a sports team from Wisconsin to compete at Marion Central Catholic HS. I went to Yelp and found 3-Brothers still serving breakfast. So, took a chance. Well, it was worth the stop. Hot coffee and food just the way I liked it cooked ( eggs over easy). Kudos to the cooks! Extensive lunch and dinner menu. Additionally, had a fire place and to note: bathrooms VERY CLEAN!! Passed my test! I'll be back sometime soon! Thanks. WJM read more

We are traveling cross country from Idaho and had the best breakfast here. This restaurant is dialed in. They get people in and out with great food and customer service. Coffee was being poured as we sat down and that was for everybody - not just us. 5 stars for sure!! read more

Usually when a restaurant has a large menu they're always pretty bland but this place exceeded my expectations! Everything was great! The service was fast and the atmosphere was great! Overall a win for Woodstock! read more

If you have food allergies, dine in off times or it's likely that you will get sick. The host of the restaurant is a very surly woman. They also like to fill in the tables that have little light, do don't be afraid to ask for another place. Food is mediocre. read more

Best family restaurant in town! We love this place! Always delicious food and friendly service. You've gotta try this place. The menu has everything and it's always delicious! It's an every week tradition for me and my family! Thank you 3 brothers! read more

This place was good. We are in town to visit family. We walked in at 10:15 pm- they close at 11. Wow! Great. The older lady waitress seemed grumpy- food was fast and pretty tasty. Older gentleman sat us ( think he was the owner) and what I believe to be his wife- checked us out at the end. She offered my kids a toy from a box of goodies. Very sweet. Daughter got the meatloaf- which she didn't love I got the French Dip sandwich- which was very good Son got kids' spaghetti- which he loved read more

Morning waitress hostess is sad. She is more concerned about filling her face than waiting on customers. Walked in sat ourselves, asked for coffee 20 minutes later. She was sitting eating her breakfast. Said I'll be right with you. You were to give us coffee and take our order you are eating you breakfast, you just opened 40 minutes ago. Not busy for one two tables. read more

You know an establishment is bad when you go in expecting poorly made food and you're STILL disappointed by it. Food was just bad quality, atmosphere of the restaurant was depressing and lifeless, and to top it off....a kid decided to mop the section right next to us with cheap febreze cleaner which I had to smell while trying to choke down my food. Ate half my meal and left as quickly as possible. Will never go back again and would NEVER recommend. read more

I went to a pumpkin patch nearby and we asked one of ladies who worked there which restaurant she recommended and she named this place. Did not disappoint at all! Great food and great service read more

Great diner that has very kind staff and good food. I would recommend for a family meal.

RIPOFF Went for dinner. I had 2 pancakes & 2 eggs $8.89. Hubby had meatloaf. It was supposed to be homemade. Finely ground, tasted like breakfast sausage. Really gross. Manager (owner) didn't care. This restaurant used to be really good. Never again. read more

3 Brothers - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Woodstock, Illinois

I have been frequenting 3 Brothers since I arrived in Woodstock 10 years ago and in my opinion, this is the best family style restaraunt in town. The food is good, service is good, and the staff is pleasant and efficient. read more

Service was terrific on a Sunday afternoon. They were busy, but attentive. The food was as expected, huge menu! I had breakfast, friends had lunch. Something for everyone! The coffee was perfect for a cool fall day! I recommend the breakfast! My friends were not as content as I was with their lunch choices, one had the Chicken Pesto sandwich, another had shrimp stir fry. We'll just say they were not in the clean plate club. read more

Sometimes you just need to keep it simple. Three Brothers does just that. It's an American Diner conveniently located right next to the Best Western Woodstock Inn. If I didn't know any better, I wouldn't have even recognized it as a restaurant. To me it looks like part of the hotel. I had the navy bean soup with a buffalo chicken sandwich and fries. There was nothing to speak of with the presentation, but the food tasted exactly like it should. My navy bean soup was spiced up with lots of black pepper. The buffalo chicken sandwich was moist, crispy, and evenly sauced. I also like how they didn't try to load up my plate with a bunch of iceberg lettuce and an unripened, stiff tomato. I don't like my tomatoes stiff or thick. Unless you're willing to drive all the way out to Huntley, this is the place to go! The staff provides excellent service! read more

Love this place, order anything you want any time day or night. Service is speedy, food is great. Once we stopped here with our children and they could just not sit still, the hostess came to the rescue with a bucket of toys for some entertainment. Food came shortly and was great. Also use to come here early in the morning after getting off work at 6am and order dinner, was still ready just as fast and tasted great. Good family resturaunt read more
