We used Louie's Waffle House for catering last weekend as we celebrated a Baby Shower for my SIL. All the guests LOVED the food and enjoyed brunch as we celebrated. Everything was ready to go early in the morning, tasted great, and packaged nicely for transport. A cute add on - we were given a little stuffed dog as a freebie with our order. Thank you Louie's for going above and beyond & making our celebration extra special! read more

Parking no issue. Entrance clean and inviting. Immediately you have a sense of a "great experience" when the greetings feel warm and genuine. Dinner menu. Monte Cristo sandwich for me Patty Melt for the wife. Started with a great cup of soup. Followed by the sandwiches. All served HOT and well prepared. Server was extremely attentive and absolutely charming. (Angela / Angel ??). Prices were very reasonable. We will now make this a regular stop. read more

They need to serve all fresh fruit on a fruit plate... just saying... no one wants canned fruit... especially when there is a fresh fruit of that particular one!!! Sorry that's what I'm paying for.... Service was great.. quality not so much and I really wanted to like this place.. but I will still try their pizza. Do I dare? read more

I absolutely love everything about this restaurant. The owners in the staff are all super nice and accommodating. The restaurant is adorable and filled with fun murals. I am gluten-free and never have an issue getting my accommodations. They are always very nice about it and my food is always delicious. My go to here is the eggs Florentine no muffin, sub regular bacon for Canadian bacon and it's absolutely amazing. I've gotten it countless times and I will continue to go back to get more. I've also taken many family members here. Everybody is always happy. My daughter loves to come here for her birthday. It really is a wonderful family restaurant and a neighborhood staple they are now open for dinner and my family has enjoyed their pizza. highly recommended five stars. read more

Nice place, good food,great service and now open for dinner! Doesn't get much better than that

This restaurant was such a let down. The food was of poor quality. You get huge portions but the food lacked flavor and was greasy. Teagan was our wait staff and she was amazing and attentive. She deserves five stars! The restaurant needed a major cleaning, the floors were dirty the baseboards were dirty and there was some type of insect flying around near our table while we were eating. This was the old Bob Evans restaurant not sure why they are not keeping this place as clean as they should but unfortunately this restaurant is a no for me. read more

2nd time at this location and it was very good.food was served in a very fast time.Service as well was fast and attentive

Been there a number of times for breakfast and lunch. The food is good and the wait staff is always good. We will continue to go back.

Loved the service! Employees running around everywhere! Coffee was excellent. Seriously. Its well above average. Had the French toast, with bacon & a couple of eggs, over easy. Excellent. Daughter had the Nick's skillet with eggs , & fries. She really liked it. Prices weren't bad. Full breakfast for , two for under $30. Not shabby. Like any place else these days, they are understaffed due to the Covid. Didn't have to wait too long. Place was crowded at 10 am in a weekday. That was a surprise. Quality of food is gr8! Worth a stop. Expect to wait though.... People are enjoying this place. read more

Solid brunch place with tons of options. The fries were really good, chicken sandwich is solid. I'd come back in a pinch.

Fast clean and very good food. It's our go to breakfast place every Sunday with mom and the service is always good

Today, we had our two grandchildren with for breakfast and we have enjoyed Louie's in the Cathedral neighborhood prior to the son's new opening on Larkin and McDonough. Everything was over the top delicious and perfect from the service, the quick bussing of tables, cleanliness, coffee and quality of the fare. The new location is right of I-80 and Rt 7 Larkin. Unique to this time in history they are well staffed and everyone is calmly handling thier duties in a competent manner. Food came out hot and fast. Decor is family owned and personally themed relevant to their stellar reputation. My husband and I agree this is the best hearty breakfast we have had since 2020! read more

Great tasting food at an honest price. Skillets were amazing. Glad I ate there. Staff is very attentive.

The service was amazing and fast! First time here. The portions were large and filling with very reasonable prices. If you love dog, the esthetic inside is very nice! Would recommend again but only con would be not as seasoned which might be to cater to everyone. read more

Suburb service from Kendell, asking how everything was every 3 minutes.. reasonable pricing, large menu, pancakes a little thick for my liking, order your hash browns extra crispy, overall, not a bad choice for breakfast read more

Food was very good and served fresh and hot. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Service was very fast. Didn't have to ask for refills at all on drinks. The inside was decorated very nicely. One of the owners introduced themselves on the way out and was very friendly as well. It was a great experience all around and the prices were very affordable as well. Definitely come here if you want to support a local business. read more

I ordered biscuits and gravy. I had such a taste for them. It was like eating paste with lots of pepper. I sent it back and got an omelet which was delicious. Loved the cottage fries. The menu is loaded with choices and the atmosphere was friendly. The restaurant was clean. read more

Not impressed My husband picked up our order and the cashier accidentally knocked it off the counter and she asked if he wanted it remade, he said yes. They took it to the back and put it in a new bag. Didn't realize the container was cracked and cheese all over the top. The bacon on my croissant sandwich wasn't cooked. I won't order from them again. read more

The new location is a world of difference! It's clean, big, the food is excellent, the prices are right. Super happy they moved. Definitely the best breakfast option in the area! read more

Disgusting... I went there with my family of 5. We ordered a skillet and some fruit. On my orange slice there was a piece of glass that got stuck in my finger, I popped it out and gave it to my boyfriend and he gave it to one the managers, Michael P... Michael took it from my boyfriend and let it fall on the floor and walked away. I was shocked. No one asked to have our food remade, no one gave us an apology. On top of that the dishes were absolutely disgusting, like they didn't wash them. I am honestly so disappointed because I have never experienced such distasteful management. I will now be only going to the pancake house, their manager there is amazing and always ensures that we enjoy everything, every single time my family and I go there... read more

Delightful find in Joliet! The waitress I had was the best one I have ever had. I was seated quickly, and the food and coffee were delicious. I ordered the 4 mini waffles with different toppings on each and highly recommend it. read more

I'll keep this one brief because I don't like to be negative. My fiance got the gypsy skillet with gyro meat and I got the country skillet to go. Both came with pancakes. When we opened them my fiance's had the greasy tickets they have when they cook the order stuck in his food and in his sunny side up eggs. He ate the pancakes and I ate my skillet which was really good. He had to throw his away and we called and they did reimburse us for one skillet even though it wasn't the more expensive one that was ruined. Hesitant to try again because I'm not sure why they are so careless with the preparation of food and how sanitary it is but it was probably just an honest mistake. What gets me is that it was empty. Only a few tables there so not sure why they were in a rush that they threw dirty paper in our food. Food was great from what we tasted though. read more

Decent biscuits and gravy at a decent price. The gravy could use more sausage and more black pepper. I'll likely be back to try something else. read more

My wife and I got breakfast here on a Friday. The service was great! I forgot my servers name but she always kept my coffee full and asked if we needed things before it was too late.(ketchup, hot sauce...etc.). The food itself was just ok. Menu wasn't huge which is plus... read more

Terrible management/ownership. The owners are young and inexperienced. Poor customer service and low quality food. Do not recommend.

Love coming here! Great service, food always comes out so so fast and so fresh! Very nice servers and very nice lady upfront !
