Huck Finn is just always a solid choice. We don't go all the time but when we do it's good. Their breakfast is always spot on. I think their pancakes are better the Pancake house. We order their take out and it's solid. I have to remember to ask for their hash browns extra crispy and they are a 10/10. The inside is dated but clean. read more

I have been going to Huck Finn for a while now and it has honestly become one of my favorite go to spots. Every time I walk in I feel welcomed and taken care of which makes such a difference. The staff is always so friendly and attentive and you can tell they genuinely care about the experience you are having. I usually switch between the biscuits and gravy or a waffle with strawberries and both are consistently so good. The biscuits and gravy are comforting and filling and the waffle with strawberries is the perfect balance when I want something a little sweeter. The food always comes out quickly and you can tell they keep things consistent which I really appreciate. It is also a great place for families which makes it even better. It is very kid friendly and has a comfortable easygoing atmosphere that works for everyone. On top of that there is plenty of parking which just makes the whole experience even more convenient. Overall I have never had a bad experience here and it is one of those places I find myself coming back to again and again. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a reliable spot with great food and even better service. read more

Huck Finn's is a Southside institution of what classic diners use to be in the Chicago area. They offer breakfast and lunch dinner meals all day. The restaurant is open 24 hours a day. Madalyn our server did an outstanding job often checking in to see how things were going. I had a bowl of Broccoli soup and my guest had the turkey dinner which came with soup or salad and a desert. He ordered the chocolate custard donut. The meal and donut were delicious. My tip, they do charge an extra fee for credit cards. Give this restaurant a try, you will not regret it! read more

Absolute worst experience on 6/10/26 I have ever had. I have been a customer for 20. Came in for dinner during a power outage at our house. We were seated right away. Large party of 8. The service was horrible the hostest complained the entire time we were there. And the waitresses were fighting with the cooks. We had to listen to all the agreements our enitre dinner. When addressed with the hostest we were told that were arguing and just overwhelmed. We wont be back sadly its and end for me. Our food was less then quality just a horrible experience on an already horrible day. read more

One of my fav breakfast spots, yet I have never reviewed it. I ate here this past Friday for National Siblings Day. The restaurant is always clean and waitresses are usually friendly. Our food came out super fast. Perfect place for after church, club or mid day eats. They're open 24hrs and offer a truck stop kind of menu. They have the BEST sprinkled vanilla donut. OH, they also have a separate slot machine room for all the gamblers. The only downside is that they don't have Stevia (sugar substitute). read more

A great neighborhood chain where there's two in Oaklawn and one in the chimney park. When you don't want to cook or do dishes, you can come here and have breakfast on a lazy Saturday morning and it's very busy and you can have a $16 elephant sized donut for your family of 10 people. It's a fun place. The food is OK, but there is a lot of it and for example for 1895 with liver and onions you can get a free soup or salad, a dessert of a doughnut, Jell-O, ice cream, or rice, pudding (your choice) and hashbrowns along with your so there is no wonder why you have a lot of people coming here because you can have food to take home and not have to cook. There is plenty of open parking and there's also a little video gaming room. Friendly staff and fast cooking. read more

I had to drop my Mother in Love off at Midway airport, so on my way home I thought that I would have a little breakfast. Hickman's Finn is the perfect place. They are open 24 hours a day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The are Famous for their donuts; and they have one called the Texas donut . This thing is Humongous ; I've never had one because it's usually sold out. The restaurant is a good size and a semi private area great for larger groups. The ambience is nice; clean and well maintained by the awesome staff. If you didn't know; all of my reviews begin with 5 stars and depending on the cleanliness, customer service, wait time to place an order and receive the food ; the stars begin to drop. My server was Michelle and she was Amazing. My overall experience is Definitely 5 Stars. Think I'll get a few donuts before I go!!! read more

Me + partner wanted breakfast this morning so I thought HFR would fit the bill....they sure did. We haven't been here in years but pass by them all the time. Upon entering a nice older guy greeted us and sad us down. The place was clean and a bit nostalgic. Our server was Sylvia. She was professional, friendly and overly on point with her service. She took care of every detail. She earned her tip and then sum. Good tasting food. Great experience!!! read more

Sounds like a plan! Since we're out in Oak Lawn, why not head over to Huck Finn's? It's been a while, and Mom was craving a hamburger, so their special with fries seems like a good deal. We ordered that for her, along with a soup. When the food arrived, though, the hamburger had cheese. Mom isn't a fan, and even though the waitress had noted "no cheese," it seems the cook missed it. We decided to just keep it rather than wait another 15 minutes for a new one. As for me, I ordered the turkey dinner. It wasn't bad, but the gravy was a bit overpowering, kind of turning the plate into a sea of gray. It tasted fine, just a little too much gravy for my liking. I've eaten there before and know it's generally good food for the price. So, if you're looking for a decent meal, Huck Finn's is worth a visit - just be sure to be extra specific when you order! read more

Breakfast Review! Coming to Huck Finn during Christmas time is always a nostalgic experience for me. I came here with my family for breakfast. Our server, Stephanie, was very bubbly and energetic. She was great about making recommendations, asking questions about how we wanted our orders, and ensured we were checked on often. Our food came out promptly; everything was fresh and hot, big portions, and hit the spot. One pays the bills at the front register and don't pass up their famous donuts. Overall, Huck Finn is a classic diner style restaurant open 24/7. It's a neighborhood staple that doesn't change in quality. Already looking forward to my next visit next year for the holidays. read more

Have gone to this restaurant for many years and the restaurant is consistently good especially for breakfast. You can get almost any meal you can imagine here. Food quality and prep is decent. Known as a "Greek" restaurant by many due to ownership and extensive menu typical of this restaurant genre. Service is ok as servers often have a lot of tables and do same bussing of tables. Prices have increased as they have everywhere. Known for their donuts as well. Recommend.? read more

Remember eating here when I was younger and the soup was also delicious. Got a soup Togo and some donuts. They give you bread and butter with your soup. They also have big donuts like the Alaskan donut. read more

Who can say no to all day breakfasts? Huck Finn is a pretty good family restaurant with lots of options. I tried their chipotle skillet which with a side of buttered English muffins which was pretty yummy. The service was great too, very friendly staff and the ambience was nostalgic and homey. Would come back again. read more

No one does eggs like the Finn. The prices have gone up, but the breakfast is unbeatable. Lunch selections are equally delicious & their soup is always outstanding. read more

Had a late night visit here. The Grecian chicken breast was great. Came with soup or salad and dessert. They have gaming, too.

Maybe I ordered the wrong item or they had an off night. I decided to get the Philly cheese steak and that was a poor choice. The meal came with soup which tasted wonderful and the service wasn't bad at all. The restroom was clean, but there is a funny smell in the dining area. I don't see myself going back to this location at all. read more

FOOD POISONING First, I ordered a ceasar salad, and attached is what a received (a garden salad with ceasar dressing). I just ate it. That would have been fine except everyone who ate salad got HORRIBLE FOOD POISONING. Only those who ate salad had horrible diarrhea the rest of the day. Other orders did not give anyone else food poisoning just the salad. I called to tell the Manager we were all violently ill, and he was VERY RUDE. He raised his voice saying that he doesnt know how we could be sick no one gets sick from salad. He doesnt understand how people get sick from lettuce or vegetables because "they're vegetables." He said maybe its something else or the dressing because they "use a lot." He said he doesnt know what to tell me theres nothing he can do for me and I cant help you. He went on to say no we did not get sick from his food. I told him we did not want our money back or compensation for being ill just to make sure that his salads are being washed and food handlers are washing their hands. He continued to raise his voice and said I dont know what to tell you you cant get sick from salad I dont know how youre sick im not a doctor. SO I replied, "Well WE ARE doctors so we know how easy it is to get food poisoning from salads." (are all docs and healthcare workers). HE WAS PISSED. He just kept speaking over me and yelling. Anyway he didnt want to hear it and was certain that his food is clean and you cant get sick from it. I ended up just hanging up. had he been polite and knew how to talk over the phone and was a little more apologetic that would be one thing. But he was certain we got sick from elsewhere. we have gone ahead and contacted the Department of Public Health in Cook County due to suspected contamination and food poisoning. Overall this place is very dirty and the food is far overpriced for the type and quality. read more

Huck Finn Restaurant - a supposed ceasar salad - Diners Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

It is absolutely ridiculous that the cooks here do not understand the words "WELL DONE"!!! Once again, we picked up breakfast and when we got it home the hash browns that we requested well done and crispy were only well done and crispy on the very top surface. Underneath the very top surface there was not a hint of brown or crispy. In fact, there was actually the taste of raw potato. Disgusting. What the hell??? I had to dump the hash browns into a frying pan and RE-COOK them so that they would be the way I ordered them in the first place. Meanwhile, my omelette was getting cold. This is ridiculous and I am NOT going to pay for this kind of CRAPPY service anymore. Might as well just stay home and cook my own omelette and some tater tots. Thanks for ruining my breakfast AGAIN, Huck Finn. You suck. This will be the last time I order from this dump. read more

Restaurant is very good 24 hour a day restaurant. . Okay okay. I'm new to this review stuff.. Huck Finn restaurant is a must visit if you're in the area. The coffee is brewed to perfection. Both my husband and I go almost every night to visit our favorite waitress, Mary. I always get the soup of the day and my husband does also. Our favorite day to go is Fridays. My husband gets the chicken tortilla soup and I get the clam chowder. We can't be happier. Looking forward to those cold nights with yummy warm soup. read more

Went for the donuts was disappointed maybe expecting more because heard great things. Have had better. But they were fine

Having lived in the area as long as I have, I had only eaten at Huck Finn's once for takeout, and whenever my mother would being their donuts for my kids. That said, my mom and stepfather have been coming here for years for breakfast, and yesterday was a family affair as nine of us sat down to enjoy a Huck Finn's breakfast! Walking in, the place is a bit dated, kind of an old-school diner vibe, but for me, long as the food is good, I can dig it! So I will now focus on what I had, and what my wife had: I enjoyed the Becky Thatcher breakfast (with all crispy bacon), a side of grits, and the cinnamon roll French toast, and my wife enjoyed the Denver omelette. My breakfast was awesome! The French toast was presented as cinnamon rolls, not too sweet, yet sweet enough to indulge in its decadence. Honestly, with that dollop of whipped cream on top, no syrup was needed. The Becky Thatcher breakfast was awesome, eggs were perfect as was my beloved bacon!! My wife's Denver omelette was great; she said they definitely give you your money's worth! My only slight ding was that the grits were very watery. Grits are not supposed to have that liquidy consistency, and I wish they were thicker. As such, I would suggest to ask the customers if they want their grits thick or thin so that everyone gets what they want. One more thing: our server, Sylvia, was GREAT!!! She was friendly, attentive, accommodating, and all around just a nice person. So to the Huck Finn management: give that woman a raise!! She has definitely earned it!!! Anyhow, my wife and I will be back! Peace and love!!

The food comes quickly once you order it however it does not come back hot and for the pricing it's too expensive .

Once a month we stop in after a Saturday evening for a late night, early morning breakfast. We've had the privilege of having Mary as our server the past two times/so we walked in for a third and requested her. She's professional, has a great personality and that's why we keep coming back. Huck Finn's is lucky to have such an asset to their team! Keep it up! read more

I've been a customer of Huck Finn for well over 10+ years and today was the first time I've seriously considered taking my business else where. I contacted their establishment to inquire about a somewhat large party coming in for good food and fellowship this weekend. I spoke with a young lady who passed the call over to another person. I advised him the reason for my call and he immediately started telling me about his schedule and what he already knew he couldn't do. After about 2 minutes I suggested perhaps this wouldn't be a great fit for my party of 12 to 15 when he abruptly stated "whatever"! I guess he couldn't find another way to end his call but clearly he didn't feel it appropriate to give decent phone etiquette. Although I understand his reasoning for his inability to service our party I still feel there was a better way of handling the end of the call. It's not a good idea to get too comfortable with your patrons, they are the ones that keep you on business. Signed Thanks for the memories read more

One of the go to spots for my fiancé and myself. Very homey environment and friendly staff. The food was hot and fresh.

Donuts, muffins the whole 9 yards. read more

Food is pretty overpriced, never had it though, so this review won't concern their menu items. I go here for their pastries; which are 10x better than Dunkin/any supermarket. The pasties + the remarkable service = 5 stars However, the overpriced menu drops it to 4 stars. If they lowered their prices a little bit--(I know things are pricier now, but come on)--I'd give them 5. read more

10 o'clock at night coming from Midway airport no place is open. Everything is closed. We've been in the air for 4 1/2 hours. We left a half an hour late plane was supposed to be in at 7:30. Plane got in at 8:15 getting the luggage picking up our car on the way home we stopped at two different restaurants which were closed and I remembered Huckfinn place. I haven't been in a couple years but it's on the way to our house from the airport so my wife and I went to Huck friends got there about 1015. I had a saladand Thanksgiving, turkey with stuffing and veggies and my wife had a omelette with goat cheese and spinach and everything was great for a restaurant laid at night. The waitress was pleasant this place got a great review from David Haynes who does reviews on WGN Radio Friday morning, so it's an easy five star. read more
