This location has become my neighborhood favorite. Any trepidation I had about an extended wait on food from my initial visit, had been completely washed away. When I want to take friends out visitors to a local restaurant that shows Homewood in a great light, Grady's is at the top of my list. read more

Great ambiance, cozy booths & a bar. The food was good & the people were nice. It was full when we arrived around 10:40 so maybe come a little sooner. read more

We were in the area for a fencing tournament. My son and I had a delicious breakfast here with great service. Skillets and pancakes were really good. Wish they had more vegan/veggie options. read more

This isn't our first time, but we are regulars and we always are pleased with the delicious food. Fresh, tasty and generous portion sizes is a regular thing here. We're also always excited to see the robot serve the meals. Always quick service and efficiency. They also had a really pretty Christmas themed backdrop in the restaurant and a nice ambiance in general regardless of when you go. read more

I was at Grady's today, 8/22/25 for breakfast. I had the wild skillet. I enjoyed my breakfast. I was drinking my water and noticed the glass was cracked. I asked for the manager. I showed the manager the cracked glass. The manager provided every excuse why the glass was cracked. The manager never removed the glass, or offered me another glass of water. The manager's action or lack of action, shows me what you really think of your customers or what you thought of me. I will no longer patrionize Grady's. read more

Grady's was a hidden gem that I found using my navigation. The food choices were impressive and the food was great!

Went to Grady's Snack and Dine today in Homewood, Illinois, with husband. Everything was going fine. Food was OK, service was better. Asked for a SLICE, MIND YOU, ONE SLICE OF ONION for my cheeseburger and fries. This restaurant had the audacity to charge us $.99 for one funky SLICE OF AN ONION! Well, good for them because we will never go back! I will make it my business NOT to recommend them or their restaurant and will inform friends and family of their policy. Don't know who made that decision, but it was definitely the wrong one. Now I know why they were empty at 4:30 in the afternoon except for us and for 2 other ladies who came in. With tip spent $50.00 and had to pay $.99 get ONE SLICE of onion! Word of mouth is a B _ t_ h! read more

Why are those tots are so fire tho? Super friendly staff and always a table available. They got breakfast, lunch and dinner covered when I don't feel like cooking. What a diamond of a place. Patio seating on a nice day is really nice touch as well. low key, good Vibes, check it out. read more

Food is good, nice place. Service is kind of slow, but they are often very busy. Monday's bottomless mimosas are great, wish they'd do them on the weekend though. read more

I really don't know what the big deal is about this place. Was there long time ago when it was Grady's grill and the chicken was underdone and we walked out. So I tried it again, the place was busy and we were seated and the waitress comes over and acts like we were disturbing her. She was impatiently tapping her finger nails on the table and was looking at the ceiling and was so unhappy to be there, she made us feel like we not valued customers, so we left. I DO NOT OR WILL EVER WILL NOT NEED ANYTHING TO EAT THAT BAD THAT I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH A STANK ATTITUDE WHEN I HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT SMILE AT SOMEONE. We will never return and the sad thing about this is that I live out here. Will take my chances and go to the city for a better dining experience where there will be some class and decorum. read more

I was pleased and impressed. Only because my aunt & uncle have lived in Homewood for 30 years and I'd never been. We walked in and got seated outside although inside was available too. We were a party of 6 too! They have so many options. My daughter had the Nutella crepes. It was pretty rich. I had the shrimp n' grits with eggs and a side of sliced tomatoes and avocado. The margaritas are pretty good too!! I had mine on the t read more

Great local restaurant! Great staff! Awesome menu! Great coffee. Would recommend to everyone! read more

Fantastic breakfast. Country fried steak was great. Server was attentive and the food came out fast. I would highly recommend this diner.

Food is great and service was good. My tater tots were missing from my chicken sandwich meal but it's okay the quality and flavor of the food made up for the oops. I had my order for pickup so I didn't get to sit Inside the restaurant but based on looks and flavor of the food I will be going back. Ambiance still pending to see. read more

The food service and ambiance is superb! This is my family go to place for all occasions. My 50th birthday party was celebrated there with a guest list of 20+. Management and staff handled reservations with extraordinary hospitality from the time we were seated to our safe departure home. Kudos to Grady's! read more

I ordered food straight from their website at 11:27 am, pickup was 12:02pm... it's now 12:45 and I'm still waiting on a burger and a fried steak. I asked for a refund at 12:30 and was told that they didn't know how to void the order. I asked for a manager and she asked me to wait because he was with an inspector. 30+ mins for a manager 1hr 30mins+ for food I didn't get Now I have to wait for cash to refund awhile having to find another place for service No explanation, no rectifying, just completely inconvenienced Edit: week later no refund. Talk to manager will update read more

I really wanted to like this place since it's so close! I heard good and bad so I wanted to go and find out once and for all. The menu looked promising (mimosas!) and since I was there late morning, I opted for the bacon egg and cheese burger and fries. The waitress was nice and I was seated quick enough as I beat the rush. The fries were disappointing. While cooked well and arriving hot, they were mealy inside. Not a great fry at all. But I persevered even with a brand of ketchup they had which I did not care for but others may. The meat of the burger was good as well as the cheddar. Sadly, the bacon was more fat than anything. I had to do the napkin to the face to get rid of it. The bun was toasted and weird but okay. As a side note, at the next table, someone ordered steak and eggs. The waitress asked if they really wanted it because when people get it she sees them having to saw through it. Needless to say, the woman changed her order. I appreciated her honesty. read more

Yesterday I ate the best form of eggs benedict EVER!! It's called Lobster Benedict, and it lives up to its name. If you're a lobster lover like I am, you'll love it too. Additionally, the waitress was gracious and informative. The combination of superb food and superb service can't be beat. read more

I visited Grady's twice. On my first visit, I ordered the cheeseburger cooked medium. The burger was similar to a smash burger juicy cooked medium on a toasted bun. The two burger patties were round and had a thin layer of cheese on each patty, and tater tots were hot. EXCELLENT!!!! Our waiter was extremely polite and accommodating. On my second visit, I ordered the same cheeseburger cooked medium, and it was beyond HORRIBLE!! The meat was square gray and dry, resembling a poor quality veggie or turkey burger. I should have sent it back when I saw it was loaded with cheese. The bun crumbled when I had to use the knife to separate the bun from the cheese to add mayo. I spoke with the waitress about my two experiences. She was not interested quickly, explaining that the meat was the same each time with a nasty attitude. I decided to make the best of the situation, vowing never to return. I do regret not taking pictures. read more

I've been here a couple times and it's very cute! The people are nice. I like the vibes, there's a robot that helps bring the food. Lots of menu selections, the food was good but not great. My meal was cold and very salty, it wasn't the worst but just okay. I found this place to be quite overpriced and for me, I'm not willing to pay those prices for just okay. A small orange juice was $7.00.... the pancake was good. Bloody Mary was tasty. Peep the cake fridge next to the hostess stand. read more

I think this is a great place for laid back occasions with family , friends, informal dates. The weekends are busy, it does give the diner feel with having indoor and outdoor seating options. I stuck with what I knew, I enjoyed the cat fish but I plan to try something different because there are plenty of options. read more

Pretty packed on the weekends. Cute little place sort of tucked away. Went for breakfast, food wasn't bad at all. Definitely will return for lunch one day. read more

Good food but they charge $5 for take out. I'm not going to say that's a deal breaker but I'm definitely not ordering take out from them.

This place is still lousy, just like the last time I decided for whatever reason to dine here. I placed an online order today, and when I walked in at the time given to me, I still had to wait. I have not yet eaten my food, I'm writing this as I'm waiting here like a chump. Hopefully it tastes good, and was worth the extra bucks. read more

Grady's was a really nice experience - service was phenomenal and the food was decent. While I experienced a first with the lobster omelet, I'll try something different on my next trip. read more

Food was good/ok; rest was meh. Ordered brunch for pickup. App said order was "ready" for pick up, but it was not ready at the restaurant for 20 more minutes. Wish that would have been accurate to prevent me from standing and waiting for 20 minutes. I got biscuits and gravy with tater tots. My food was ice cold. Good once heated, but I am guessing it sat for a while. My husband got a skillet which was piping hot with toast. It was good. We also ordered a side of pancakes and a slice of carrot cake. The pancakes. were not given to us. The cake tasted like it had sat in the fridge for some time. It was also very strongly spiced, but that did not cover the fridge/freezer taste. I threw it out. The food was good but expensive for the hassle. Cake and pancakes were a total loss; and if I wanted to microwave something, I could have done that with our own leftovers for free. Disappointing. read more

Called to place a takeout order. They were too busy so I was directed to order online. We had the country skillet and veggie skillet. We didn't like the shredded potatoes but everything else was good. Looked very nice inside. Definitely recommend read more

Grady's Snack N' Dine - My rating for Gradys Snack N 'Dine - Diners Near Me - Homewood, Illinois

Fifty percent of the time, this is absolutely our go-to option. Although I appreciate the location, there isn't much parking and it's frequently very busy. I wish they offered more alternatives for refillable drinks and more straightforward beverages like root beer. For a different and less expensive breakfast, we frequently visit Blueberry. However, I like the variety of alternatives and the mimosas in the morning offered here paired with the patio area. In my experience, pastries are not recommended. Although the cakes appear stunning, they are really dry. Ultimately, this is where we bring guests since I prefer the atmosphere. read more

Food was delicious I ordered bananas foster French toast and hash browns. I hash browns are a mix of sMy service was great in addition to having a wonderful waitress that took care of me. But they have integrated an robotic waitress that brings your food toy your table. It was very interesting. The ambiance was very 50's retro with and up to date vibe. read more

Probably the best pancakes I've ever had. The service was great. Loved the food. My omelette was perfectly made. Will be back.

Yummy breakfast, great service, nice atmosphere. Many options and your food is hot when you receive it!!!

Updated Comments: My appetite for this place just got spoiled. It's always the little things. An overt error on the menu (online and in the restaurant) CLEARLY indicates side items for the Grady' Best entrees. The staff tells me that it is an error and exceptions apply. The menu, however, says the exceptions must be noted. Yet, nothing is noted. The choice by MANAGEMENT to tell staff NOT to honor the printed menu leaves a really sour taste in my mouth. It clearly feels like I'm being fooled or cheated. Original Review: The renovation at Grady's was loooong overdue. The service is decent with a very responsive management team. The prices are extremely reasonable. The fried chicken really needs a flavor upgrade. Plain is really plain. Season the chicken batter with salt and pepper, at the least. read more

Delicious breakfast and the location is very nice. The building itself is very inviting , uplifting and gives great energy. The crowd seems fun and mature also. The young lady who assisted me with my solo , dine-in experience today was Ginger - and she has the most welcoming and bubbly personality. The salmon croquettes were good- not like I remember grandmas but still delicious in their own version- I had them with hollandaise sauce which I would normally not have with salmon croquettes but the sauce complimented them well. Also had scrambled eggs and grits which were equally good. I enjoyed reading a book while I dined and although this is not a quiet restaurant, I could still enjoy my reading without feeling any annoying noise distractions. The noise level is reasonable. This is not located in my neck of the woods but bcus of the great experience, I'll definitely be back with my family. read more

Grady's is located in Downtown Homewood, nice place for breakfast and I think they have expanded their menu for lunch as well...

Definitely not as good as it use to be. Service is great but the food is overpriced and nasty.

Great atmosphere, wonderful and attentive service, very good food. Grady's is a great place for breakfast with special guests or family. read more

I think I am in Love!!!! I knew Grady's from over the years when it had a more formal restaurant style. But, I re-encountered Grady's when it reopened a few months ago. I was immediately attracted to the new "diner-styled" appearance. The staff were all very pleasant and inviting, continuing to provide me that same Cozy Homewood Community feel. The menu options have shifted to include breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. Because I have met Grady's on more than one occasion, I have tried a few items now. I have enjoyed the Prime Rib Sandwich. It was on buttery bread, with moist succulent beef, and melted cheese. On another occasion, I had a simple breakfast of Scrambled Eggs, Canadian Bacon, and English Muffin. Now, I use the words "simple breakfast," but many places find it difficult to cook my eggs as requested. Well, Grady's did not disappoint me. My eggs were correct-- the first time! And, on another visit, I enjoyed the Banana, Raisin, & Brown Sugar Oatmeal. And, I already knew I was "infatuated" with Grady's, but during the Oatmeal "rendezvous," that's when I knew for sure that I was IN LOVE. At this point, my love affair has included 4 trysts, and I cannot ever think of leaving Grady! read more
