Great owners and staff; welcoming --- very good food at reasonable prices! Highly recommend

Great food & service! Does anyone know when Morris Diner will resume service. Sure miss going there. Hopefully reopening soon after the fire. The people in town want you back!!! read more

Good breakfast diner. Service was fast and friendly. The manager or owner also checked in on our table. I like that they use shredded hash browns. The prices were very reasonable. We were seated right away, service was friendly. read more

Great service , portions are good too, prices are good, I definitely recommend it if you are in town or looking for an old school nice American diner . read more

My eggs, bacon and pancakes were cooked to perfection. Very friendly and attentive server.

The service was excellent and the food was great. It is a busy place right after church for sure!

Typical diner. Get what you expect. Pancakes and the works. Friendly and to the point waitress who helped us order. I got the American Burger which was a simple as you would expect but tasty. Came with fries which were good and a soup which was not - we had the cheesy mushroom and spinach soup that was basically a fondu. But I think that's a style that some people are used to. Eclectic devour including a strange mural will add a pic of. Not a bad stop if you on the road. read more

Hello, very good service, very nice clean place. I have many good dishes there,. They have many tv's it would be nice to have more channels than CNN. news channels would be nice ! Local news stations WGN etc, CNN, Fox News NewsMax or news nation, sports news etc read more

I can say that the breakfast is amazing. The options are very broad, the food is very tasty and fresh, and the service was phenomenal. I'm not from the area, but I would definitely return. The vibe there was very nice. The only thing I would change is the decor. It is a bit outdated and I could see how some people could be skeptical of going because of that but the food is amazing. read more

We were obvious outsiders in a sea of regulars lol. But it wasn't weird! Everyone was friendly and smiled at us - customers and staff alike. The service was awesome! Our server made helpful suggestions. The owner came by our table to thank us for stopping in and gave the kids each a quarter for the gumball machine on the way out. That's the stuff you remember that sets a diner apart from the rest! The menu is big and everything we had came out as ordered, hot and delicious. Will stop by again anytime we're back in the area. Thank you for the food and hospitality, Morris Diner! read more

The diner was clean, but extremely cold, like cold cold. I had ordered a French dip , came with chicken noodle soup and fries and my husband ordered the monte cristo sandwich with fries. Neither of us could eat our food, the meat didn't look right and they don't put cheese on their French dip sandwich unless you pay an additional amount. There was no chicken in the soup and it tasted like shells in water with a weird film over the top of it. Everything about our dishes was off , even the piece of lettuce with a tomato on it was kinda weird on the side of our plates. Found out they changed owners months ago. My husband bragged how great this place was and how his family went here every yr up to 2018 , and then with covid they hadn't been back... until now. This was my first and last time goin here . read more

For starters you cant beat the prices or service. Hands down 5 star on that. The food there is a little to be desired. Sausage gravy is somewhat bland, just need some simple cracked pepper. The biscuits we decent but i like a dense consistency. Eggs Benedict were cooked well but the hollandaise sauce was also bland and watery. The ham is a good portion but its smoked ham which overpowered the hollandaise sauce. Worth a visit. read more

Now I know why I've only ever had Sherwood oaks my whole life living here. Just tried going for breakfast here a couple months ago because Sherwood was packed for hours due to church folk and it was dirtier, run down atmosphere, and the food wasn't good. The parking lot was full since it's small with not much room to turn around in. Fighting over parking spots with guests. If the spots are taken apparently you have to leave and go park at the Wendy's parking lot and walk over. All I had was a skillet and I couldn't even get myself to eat much of a couple bites. The hollandaise sauce was simply melted butter and nasty. They had sat us near the kitchen door and we could see and hear everything workers were doing or standing around saying. Just wasn't my go to. I'll stick to Sherwood. Especially since they just updated it all. read more

Upon getting out of the car, the first thing that hits you is the overwhelming odor of greasy fried food. Not sure if that's from Morris Diner or the Wendy's next door. I had a corned beef hash skillet. It tasted fine but the cheese was two semi-melted Kraft singles. I don't understand why restaurants can't use shredded cheese. Surely that can be purchased in huge bags from your food supplier and it tastes SO much better! My dad had an omelet that he was happy with. My mom got the feast deluxe...a half slab of ribs with a huge chicken breast, soup, potato, and dessert (cherry pie). She was in heaven and had plenty of leftovers. Her food looked the best out of all our meals. Not the greatest place but not terrible. A pretty standard greek diner. It serves its purpose. read more

Very good! Hearty portions, good food, fair prices, excellent service! We all had different breakfast items and we all enjoyed them. Very clean and cute diner. read more

Pretty typical pancake house fare. The restrooms were clean. Our server was very nice , drinks got refilled, and was overall quick and efficient. The food was good. For a quick stop on a roadtrip we could done worse. I would return read more

Morris Diner & Pancake House - So far so good. Restrooms are clean. O rhink we ate here a few years ago but cant foe the life of me remember if it was decent or not. - Diners Near Me - Morris, Illinois

Not too bad. Food is good and well portioned. Lots of choices too! Note they have little to no options for gluten-free. Also everything is cooked in some type of oil or margarine. You have to make a special specific request to dry cook or cook in butter. read more

Great food and service. The owners are wonderful people and make you feel welcomed each visit at their restaurant. Servers are pleasant and responsive providing you with everything you need ask for. Excellent customer service! read more

Nothing out of the ordinary. Standard breakfast fare. Decent portions at fair price. Their dinner menu is excellent. They have cabbage soup that reminds me of the soup my grandmother made. read more

1st time customer. Outstanding, top notch customer service. Hostess seated us, manager came around asking if everything was OK. Our waitress was the best! She must have stopped by 4 or 5 times politely pausing if we should have needed anything. We declined the soup that came with the meal and wanted fries instead. She suggested we take the soup home for later. No restaurant I've been to ever offered that! She added rolls, crackers, butter in the soup bag that we took home. The soup was absolutely delicious. Had she not done that we would not have known how good the soup was. Our meal was excellent. We were seated quickly and the meal came quickly. read more

Good ol'greasy spoon diner. All the things you want. They were busy but it we didn't mind the wait.

I ordered a simple meat lovers skillet with American cheese waitress brings out an omelette. Takes it back get a skillet and comes with wrong cheese. Not sure if waitress got it wrong or the cooks but won't be going back. Further more they charged me 5.99 for the 2 small pancakes that I had choice of that or toast. read more

Very slow service! Constantly having to ask for thing and waitress no where to be found! Food was horrible!

A very extensive menu and the food was great. It seems like restaurant service in the last few years have gone downhill . Thankfully not at the Morris diner, the service was excellent! read more

My breakfast was awesome, I got the Gyro skilled. My eggs were perfect, the hash browns were crispy, my coffee was hot. I would rate this place 5 out of 5 easily. My waitress was extremely responsive and friendly, which to me tops off a perfect breakfast! read more

Excellent, friendly service. The break food is delicious! I really like the crepes with cream cheese. I'll go back there again!

Was in the area for work so I decided to stop in for breakfast, the diner is your typical diner inside nothing spectacular but a real good vibe family feel for sure, my waitress Glenda was very nice super friendly and made sure I was taken care of coffee refills, napkins, ketchup too! I ordered the country skillet eggs over easy, food was fast on delivery to my booth, the flavor was very good and potatoes mmmmm good the eggs perfect! The only problem was the coffee tasted a little watered down. Otherwise a good place to get some breakfast read more

Good food and fast, friendly, efficient service. So glad to see staff and patrons still wearing masks.

Pretty much what you'd expect a diner to look like, with better food than you'd expect. Definitely get pancakes. It doesn't matter which variation you choose, they're all fantastic! Service is good, everyone is really friendly. read more

First time there. Server was awesome, and the food was freaking amazing!! The Sweet and Sour Cabbage soup....I could have eaten my weight in that alone!! The menu is huge, the choices almost endless. If I lived there...I would be fat and poor because I would eat there ALL THE TIME!! Definitely stopping there the next time passing through Illinois! read more

Best breakfast spot in Morris. Pancakes here are delicious. The family atmosphere is super cozy, most of the customers seemed like regulars. Recommend this place to anyone who likes a diner with the hometown feel read more

We tried this restaurant for the first time today, never going to return!! The food had to be returned to the kitchen, not once, but twice. One of the orders was never cooked until halfway through our meal. The owner was verbally abusive to his waitress and never once came to apologize. Upon checking out, he actually hid so he wouldn't have to speak to me. The eggs were cooked to hard boiled, the hash browns were cold and basically raw, the waffle was made incorrectly and then returned cold. The only plus side was the good coffee and pizza burger. There's too many other choices of restaurants, I'd suggest trying them instead!! read more

Morris diner was established in 1987 and the decor proves it.  Not that this is a bad thing, I like restaurants which take care of what they have and that is a style unto itself after a while.  This is a local  place as the name suggests.  For those without google translate that is Greek for mom and pop.   The coffee was pretty bad, it was weak and watery.  The sweetener and cream were packets and sitting in the table, which is par for this type of place, but the coffee itself was disapointing. I had the gyros skillet with pancakes and over easy eggs.  The gyros is cooked on a spit, like any Greek restaurant would do.  I did want to check because that pan fried gyro meat is the worst.  this was fairly good. Overall on the better side of average. It was not amazing but it was solid, and reasonably priced. Over all I would stop back by. read more

Pretty annoying that the website status says Open (at 5pm today) and last time we checked a few days ago the door was posted that they were on short hours 6am to 3pm. No one answers the phone (not even a recorded message) if you want to know status after 3. They have good stuff on the menu.....we go back for the cabbage soup....but now no dine-in for dinner. OH WELL.....looking elsewhere! :-( read more

Please update your hours. Says open until 10:30pm but was closed at 7pm (Fri night). Heard the food was solid btw.

We're from out of town and went to the Morris Diner with a local. Very nice diner with wonderful food. The manager and his wife were very nice and friendly. If you're looking for the best biscuits and gravy with crispy hashbrowns this is the place. Service was wonderful. I highly recommend it!! read more

Boyfriend and I are on the road to a wedding in Central Illinois. In need nourishment, we pull off the highway to discover DINER NIRVANA. Seriously. Morris Diner & Pancake House is where all other good, little diners hope to go when they die. Heaven with a short-order cook... and breakfast served all day! MD&PH oozes diner-charm. Cozy booths, green and pink rose-print fabrics, porcelain rooster figurines, and a carnation on every table. I knew I was falling in love before I even placed my order. For lunch, I went with a short stack (three) of the Sweet Dark Cherry Pancakes and a side of bacon. (Helena's Foodie Tip #87 - if breakfast is served all day, go with it! Pancakes are timeless). Boyfriend had the "Black Russian" sandwich (a roast beef and corned beef medley, of sorts). We were completely unprepared for how many sides came with his meal. Between the two of us, we had more food that we could ever consume. We started with the split-pea soup (free with his sandwich!), and it was quite delicious. Once my pancakes arrived, I left him to his own devices and concentrated on my mound of breakfast wonder. They were incredible - light and fluffy with just the right amount of tart cherry topping. I eventually had to cover my food with my napkin to stave off a self-induced food coma. Our server was an absolute peach. I could hear her interact with other clients and it was clear that MD&PH draws a loyal, regular crowd. Heck, if I lived in the area I'd be back time and again for more of those cherry pancakes. read more

The place was clean I will give it that, I stopped in and they seat you, well the guy at the door was not at the top of his game, he acted like I had nothing better to do in life but stand in his doorway and wait for him to shuffle papers. I got the Denver omelet, it was fair but not good, the serving was the smallest I have ever been served, but the toast was buttered well. The waitress was very nice, I bet she came to my table at least five times to tell me my food was coming, The last time she walked up, I said yes I know my food is coming! The place was not horrible, but I won't be a repeat customer. read more

What a gem! The food here is outstanding. It is Diner food but better. The sweet and sour cabbage soup is awesome. Their gyros are the best in the area and they give you more than one pita can handle! I always order an extra pita so I can bring home the left overs and make another whole gyro. The prices are very reasonable too. The last time I went I had the chicken De Jong with linguine Alfredo as a side. It was delicious! They always give you more than you can eat and the leftovers are yummy. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed! read more
