Love Lumes. The food is great! The service has been excellent! And the ambiance busy but great. I have never had anything here that I didn't like. If you get a chance stop by a Lumes and try it. You won't be disappointed. read more

I have been a customer at Lumes restaurant for over 30 years. We would go to their several locations as it was always great food and service. BUT in the last few years there has been a decline across the board. The quality of the food has become hit or miss as some days it was great and others not even good. Some days their soup is watered down to the point of no flavor. The latest change is when you get a carry out order. You walk in to order and your handed a menu that STATES clearly all sandwiches comes with fries and cup of soup. Now if you place a to go order it does not even though you are charged the same amount as if you ate it in and received your cup of soup. Now you can only purchase a bowl of soup with your to go orders. The issue is that it is NOT posted anywhere in the restaurant and 99% of the time when you go to pay you never see the detailed bill. I can take food being a miss at times , but not deceptive practices. I now go to Egg Harbor as the quality and taste are so much better. Lumes you lost a very long term customer. read more

Came here either a friend on Saturday around 1pm. It was packed, yet we did get greeted and seated right away. Our sever was extremely friendly and talkative. She was very attentive and quickly got us eager, coffee and whatever else we needed through our meal. We both ordered omelette and they were huge and came with a large portion of potatoes. We both ended up taking home leftovers. No complaints about that. The food was really good. The vibe is like a typically family style diner. Even with though it was super busy and loud, the vibe was friendly and welcoming. Will definitely come again. read more

We hadn't visited for a few year's but had taken my Father there for Father's day where he had his favorite called a "Dutch Baby". Ample room between tables and lots of booth's to chose from. Very friendly server. We had plenty of leftovers when we pooled them had breakfast for the next day. Very affordable and to top that off a Senior Discount had been applied at the cash register. We will be back more often. read more

Really good ham & cheese omelette. Cheese was evenly distributed across the whole omelette. Most usually just lump it in one spot. Pancake side was good. I added pecans for an upcharge. Bacon was good. 4 strips instead of the usual 3. Not real thick slices. This too was an additional charge. Hash browns tasted like fresh potatoes but I'm not a fan of them anyway. Well packaged. Will definitely order again. Omelette was large. read more

I ordered the skirt steak skillet, the skirt steak tasted old and rubbery, I had been there 3x before and every dish was fine.

I've been to Lumes several times and the food is always delicious!! The service is fast,complete and thorough. The atmosphere is relaxing and busy at the same time! I always enjoy my experience at Lumes!! read more

Food and Service were great. Great serving portion for the price. Been going here for over a dozen years and have been to tons of breakfast places, Lumes will always be at the top. read more

Manager was extremely rude to his staff, calling them old ladies, food was good and large portions.

I ordered the Avocado Lotto . A disappointment for $18. One would expect to see an abundance of avocado. Instead, a couple of slices were hidden under the two huge scoops of Tuna salad.. i felt duped. I really did. The service was excellent and the ambiance was excellent so I cant speak for the other dishes hence the 4 stars. Shame on me, but almost 20$ for two slices of avocado, to me that ain't no avocado lotto but instead smothered in cottage cheese, tuna, and a few slices of fruit . A disappointment. Steer clear of this dish. Try something else. I thought the menu was pricey.... For breakfast food, but maybe I'm a Luddite. Just a heads up, izall. If I go again I'll be sure to bring a picket full of cash. I took care of the waitress--she was understanding, and friendly. read more

Ask for Danielle!! I visited Sunday morning and was very pleased with my service!! The food in itself was great, but Danielle was absolutely amazing. From the time we were seated until our exit...absolutely amazing! She was attentive, but not overbearing. She was polite and welcoming. There are so many great things I can say about Danielle. This was my first time at Lumes, but Danielle definitely made me add this to my breakfast "go-to" list! Thank you Danielle for being such an amazing waitress. Your kindness did not go unnoticed! read more

#66/2023 Lumes pronounced (LOOMS) is a regional Chicago area based breakfast/lunch chain similar to like Original Pancake House and Blueberry Hill cafes. Founded in the early 90s they have expanded to all directions around the Chicago suburbs with one location in the city. That one of course made news back in the covid days with a tragedy that at least they've gotten over. Like any classic breakfast place it's pretty much all the same full menus loads of selections from omelets to pancakes to crepes to waffles. August 31 2023 Walking into the Orland Park location it was pretty crowded but they seated me quickly. I looked at the menu and decided on getting just a classic eggs benedict potatoes and some extra Hollandaise. Quality of the food was good It's like any other place anymore your days of 599 breakfasts are gone it's going to cost you about 20 bucks anymore no matter where you are it seems. Just the nature of the beast. Waitress kept my coffee refilled. I will probably return here again we have so many different ones around the area where I live for choices. Although on the back of one of the tickets there's also a Lumes breakfast Cafe that is not listed in Willowbrook because they have old pads in stock basically for years and they're not going to make a new printing of them just for that lol but there is one in Willowbrook. read more

I had an absolutely wonderful experience here. We came in around 7:40am while I was waiting to get my car serviced so it was pretty empty and we were served right away and the waitress was very friendly and attentive. The portions were very nice for the price and we were able to take some leftovers home and everything was very flavorful. read more

We see they are busy often and decided to try them out. It's very mediocre. There are better breakfast/lunch places in town and around town. Tried it, and they were just ok. It's not terrible, but not memorable either. Service was extremely lacking. The server was more of an order taker like at McDs employee. Never even can by after food was dropped to see how we were doing. Didn't bring napkins I asked for either, and no ice water refill. I just watched him hang out and talk more than work. The host stand wasn't super friendly either. It seems that's the kind of place this is. We tried it and now know what it's like. Food 2/5 Service 1/5 Ambiance 3/5 2 stars read more

Lovely place and great menu. Service very attentive despite how busy they are. Weekends are insane so they hold to 90 minute table limit.

Beautiful presentation, timely seating.Food was very good. Menu referred to eggs as farm house eggs which I wrongly believed to be country eggs. I was served what seemed to be a huge pound of egg substitute, not my favorite. read more

Really enjoyed eating breakfast here with my boyfriend. Came in on a Saturday at 11 am and the restaurant was full! There was a decent amount of people waiting, but the wait time was only a 5-10 min wait. The quote time was accurate and we got seated right away. The server was prompt and friendly, and happily took our full order right when she greeted us. I ordered the certified angus skirt steak (medium cooked) with eggs, wheat toast, and potatoes on the side. My boyfriend ordered the south of the border entree with English muffin on the side. I also ordered coffee. Everything came pretty quickly given that the whole restaurant was packed! I highly recommend the skirt steak - it was soft and cooked how I liked it! My boyfriend also enjoyed their meal. Everything cost about $35 dollars and was great dining experience. Overall service, food, and atmosphere were great! read more

Delicious, an fast ! Service is amazing! Eggs bacon an toast! Coffee , friendly people, I was so impressed!

I ordered the potato bene and while I was skeptical about the price, the portion was huge! Lumes is on the pricy side of a diner type establishment, but they do give massive portions of food. For those who love leftovers, this is the place for you! The potato bene was delicious. I was surprised by how flavorful the potato pancake was. It had a very savory flavor that paired well with the brightness of the hollandaise. The hashbrowns were painfully bland in comparison and are a miss for me, but the main star, the benedict was awesome. read more

I have never felt so discriminated (hispanic) ever at any establishment I came in at 2:09 pm on November 18 2023 with my daughters to get a quick lunch. The gentleman at the front sat us right away very polite. I sat there looked at the menu decided what to eat and put them down. I was looking to see if and of the 2 servers that I saw would come up to acknowledge us... the one gentleman with the tattoo on his neck(Caucasian)looked right at me and looked away I figured he would come in a minute .Meanwhile a couple (Caucasian) walked in .Tell me why after 2 minutes of them sitting down he went to their table and took their order brought them their drinks and continued to put their order in.At that moment I got up and decided to ask the person who sat us down to see who our server was he got up right away and guess who the server was the same man that looked right at me and ignored me the same man that took the other couples order knowing that I was there 23 minutes before them He came to my table and asked what can I do for you no apology of why he took so long nothing and I wanted to stay but I could not get past how he made my children and I feel. He should be ashamed of himself!!!!!! I got up and told my children to do the same I could not stay in a place where I was discriminated for being Hispanic I'm proud of who I am . He had the audacity to ask did I do something wrong ?? If you need to ask that question you know damn well you did !! it is appalling to me that this happened I've been coming to this restaurant since 2003 and I promise that I will never be back thanks to that man that made us feel unwelcome I am not a confrontational person so I chose to leave and stay quiet I don't know if I did the right thing or if I should of spoke out but this made me very angry and upset . read more

There was not an option to give a zero rating for this establishment because that would have been my first choice! I felt uncomfortable after being there for only 15 minutes to the point that I kept turning my head towards the kitchen area to check to see if the staff was giving me and my coworkers dirty looks...and they were!! I am appalled that I had to experience such deliberate bad service due to my race. The waitress asked if I was ok because she was very much so aware of the service that we were experiencing. Before I could put my credit card back in my wallet, a staff member pushed my food towards me with the notion for me to make my way to the door. They should have just stopped us at the door and we could have went elsewhere for breakfast!!! This is unacceptable and I will never return. read more

We had breakfast today and very much enjoyed the food. The portions were huge and the atmosphere was very family friendly. I most want to point out how outstanding our server was. I believe her name is Christine. She was such a joy and breath of fresh air to have waiting in us. Her attitude and attention are remarkable. That's what service is all about and I'm happy to write this about her. Thank you again and keep up the remarkable service! read more

Had breakfast here with my son before a long wedding weekend. He loved the pancakes and bacon! The food the delicious and the coffee was hot. Service was attentive and diners were seated at a distance from others. Thanks for the great meal and keeping us safe. read more

Lumes is my family's measuring stick when it comes to local pancakes houses. Their portions are generous, the food is delicious, the atmosphere is clean and they have great service. Their apple cinnamon stuffed French toast never disappoints. The cinnamon apples on top are reminiscent of apple pie and the cream cheese filling isn't overly sweet. For a more savory option, I like their sizzling steak skillet. read more

Lumes on a Sunday morning, a parking lot that was packed, a waiting area that was packed had all the had the makings of a great breakfast spot. Walking in and having to wait was tough to do, I wanted that coffee and bacon and other breakfast items whose aroma filled the packed house now, I didn't want to have to wait. There was a 2 minute wait before the hostess who was checking customers in and running the register put us on the wait list. Not even 2 minutes later, we were chosen. Sitting at the freshly cleared table that was still wet, as soon as we sat down our server walked over and took our drink order, almost immediately coffee appeared before us. Two minutes later we were ready to order, the food was brought out before I finished a half cup of the steaming hot coffee. I opted for some toast drowned in syrup then covered in sauteed cinnamon apples, raisins and Georgia pecans. I didn't have any bacon, I wanted a healthy breakfast. Fearing that breakfast wouldn't be the same without bacon, I was delightfully surprised with how delicious my breakfast was. The server asked if I wanted more coffee and came back with more right away. Our empty dishes were cleared from the table quickly leaving us sitting with our coffee. We paid our bill and went on our way. Breakfast was good and the coffee too. Keep that coffee hot, I'll be back for more soon. read more

I always go to the one on 116th since I was out this way in Orland Park I figured I'll go to this for breakfast , worst decision!! I do not recommend coming to this restaurant please go to the one on 116th and Western I've been going to that one for years and they've never got my waffles wrong. My waitress was wonderful but her manager on duty had a despicable attitude. After the waitress said that they were take it off my bill when I got to the cash register the manager said no he can't take it off. Now I understand why people always say stick to what you know. read more
