    Meatloaf Dinner with mashed potatoes (red sauce on the side), Patty Melt with waffle fries.  Both came with choice of soup or salad too.

    Happy to discover our favorite breakfast and lunch restaurant is now open for dinner. My husband had his favorite- the patty melt with waffle fries and a bowl of the daily soup. I chose the meatloaf dinner with mashed potatoes and a side salad. The food portions were huge and came out nice and hot. Our waitress Peppir was very friendly and attentive to our needs. We will definitely be back again for the awesome food and hopefully great service, like Peppir provided. The restaurant was also very bright and clean inside. They've recently redecorated and it looks cheerful and welcoming.

    THICK cut -Holly bread-  French toast

    First time here, as I'm new to the area. Went on a Saturday morning, it was busy but i was seated within minutes! I ordered the skirt steak and eggs with an order for the Thick Cut French toast. My photos are screenshots from a video i took. But the steak was cooked perfectly !! And very nicely seasoned. The French toast was so thick i barely even finished one slice. I'm not the biggest fan of Hashbrowna, i prefer home fries but these have been the best in the area, that I've tried so i was definitely impressed. Will update review if and when i go back.

    The ham and eggs.

    While hanging out in Joliet il I wanted to start off with breakfast from a local place and did I pick the place to be for breakfast. The lot was full at just after 8am but I did get a booth and the whole time I was there people never stopped walking in to my amazement. The place is large with tons of booths and tables. This was your typical looking Greek style restaurant and the big menu that matched. My service was surprisingly good for how full/busy they were and I was started off with a carafe of ice water with a lemon slice in it which was a nice touch. The menu is large with tons of options but I would keep it simple and have ham a eggs. My ham and eggs looked great with a big piece of ham off the bone and three eggs, see my picture. The eggs were perfect sunny side up. The ham was good with a sweet light smoke flavor. The big helping of potatoes needed salt and they were not browned very well and I should have asked for extra crispy. The toast is the generic three options so I chose white. They give you the great whipped butter for the toast but it was useless for the toast when it is straight out of the freezer because it's not spreadable at all, what a shame. Overall the breakfast was better than average and I can see it's super popularity with the locals with good service at such a busy time.

    Great omelets with cottage fries. Service was great. Restaurant seemed a little dirty. The water glasses and carafes need to be replaced.

    Food is ok, not the cleanest breakfast spot in town and your can count on not having the same waitress throughout your meal.

    Tons of interesting and very yummy burgers. I got the French burger which had Brie and…read morecranberries. So delicious. I also got the cheesecake shake that lets you pick the ice cream that goes with it. I picked strawberry. So yummy. Great service and clean environment.

    My husband and I stopped in today and the ambiance was nice. There's different seating arrangements…read moreto fit your comfortability whether it's a table, booth or single seat with a storefront view. Today we ordered a maple bacon milkshake, peanut butter milkshake, 1/4 pound grilled cheese burger on toast, 1/2 pound New Orleans burger and a shareable basket of parmesan truffle fries. Let's start with the positives, the shakes were well made and not overwhelmingly sweet and we liked that a lot. My husband's 1/2 pound burger seemed a little small and my grilled cheese burger said it would be on Texas toast but it seemed like it was sourdough bread and not really thick cut like Texas toast should be. I was looking forward to eating here because the pictures of the fries online looked long and thick cut, the basket of fries we got didn't look like that at all and lacked Parmesan cheese. The negative experience was the fact the water tasted weird. I took one sip and tasted a weird chemical taste but my husband and I didn't complain, we just paid and left. I don't know if it was the water or the cup but it definitely had a weird taste. Overall, the experience was ok. I think we had higher expectations seeing all the pictures online. The name of the place threw us both off because we thought it was a Latino owned burger joint with a Mexican twist but that wasn't the case at all.
