So, of course, have to stop by here. Friendly workers. There's indoor & outdoor seating. Decided to seat outside in the shade under the trees. Fortunately, not too busy when I went on Tuesday 11:30amish for breakfast. Ordered: -#6 Eggs Milan (with included hashbrown and choice of toasts.) loved that it had pesto sauce on it, too. -Apple cinnamon waffles (with sautéed apples, cinnamon sugar spice and whipped cream, maple syrup on the side). Also pretty delicious & fluffy. Overall, it's worth the meal. Great prices for food and smooth tasting coffee.

Btw, we dined here because they are dog friendly.

Passed by Skillet'z in Niles and randomly stopped in for brunch--so glad I did!…read moreEverything we ordered was actually really good and hit the spot. The Bravo omelet was super soft and fluffy, loaded with mushrooms, tomatoes, avocado, and bacon--really fresh and not heavy at all. The New York steak sandwich was super satisfying, with big chunky pieces of steak and avocado that made it extra good. And the coulotte steak was cooked perfectly--tender, flavorful, and just really well done overall. Definitely a great little brunch spot if you're in the area.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Skillet'z today. I came in specifically to order…read morethe chicken and waffles, only to be told it is strictly a weekday item. It would be incredibly helpful if this information was actually listed online to save customers a wasted trip. Because my main order wasn't available, I decided not to get food. I had already ordered two iced coffees, so I politely asked the waitress if they were ready yet, noting that if they weren't, I would just like to cancel them. She explicitly lied to me, claiming, "They are ready, sorry," and quickly charged me $18. That was completely untrue. After paying, I was forced to wait 14 minutes for two simple iced coffees. To make matters worse, I watched her serve iced coffees to other tables while completely ignoring mine. When I finally asked her why there was such a delay since she claimed they were already made, she completely flipped, gave me massive attitude, and was incredibly rude. To top it all off: The Drinks Were Awful: The vanilla and caramel iced coffees had absolutely no flavor. They just tasted like bitter, strong coffee. $18 straight into the garbage. No Receipt Provided: When I asked for my receipt, she flat-out refused or failed to provide it to me. The owner seriously needs to look into this employee's behavior and attitude toward paying customers. Lying to prevent a cancellation and then giving attitude when caught is completely unacceptable. Save your money and go somewhere that values honesty and basic customer service.

Black Bear Diner - Hayward…read more Today, I came to celebrate Father's Day with my wife and son at Black Bear Diner. We had a great experience. The service was excellent, fast, and friendly from the moment we arrived. Our waiter provided outstanding customer service, was attentive to our needs, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and our Father's Day celebration was very enjoyable. Thank you to the entire staff for making our visit special. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Once we ordered, the food arrived and was good, and our server was pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, while eating, I noticed my shoe sliding on the floor. When I looked down, I found that the floor was dirty and covered in a mushy substance that had gotten stuck in the ridges of my shoes. It was pretty disgusting and completely took away my appetite. I'm giving two stars because the server provided good service, but the overall cleanliness of the restaurant was unacceptable. Based on this experience, I won't be returning.

I've already told my friends I'll get this place is now I must share it. . So The wait wasn't too long, they sat us in the back table, and then we requested changed seats again to the more comfortable booth on the side and they cleaned it up before seating us there. We ordered waffle combo, veggie omelette, and some fries with sides of freshly squeezed OJ. Now the waffle blew me away! It was thin, but still fulfilling. I had a great taste to it. Also, the stainless steel hot syrup , the old-fashioned design of the place, just felt nostalgic. Definitely can't wait to come back here on again. Everything was about 80 bucks which was pretty fair but the OJ being 7 something was pretty steep, but since it was freshly squeezed it was well worth it. Denny's, please take note!

Came for a weekday lunch, 3 of us and got seated right away no problem. Love the special options on the menu, so many interesting things to try! The koong karee (prawn curry) and har mok seafood were my favorite. Special mention for the khao soi too! Big portions and took home enough for another meal. Prices are a little higher than the usual Thai joint but it's worth it.

I'm a big country gravy guy and always felt like their gravy was special. I found out today that their gravy is homemade, which explained why it tasted so good. Add that stuff on anything and it will be delicious. Gravy love, aside, there menu is pretty expansive but not overwhelming. You'll get your usual stuff like pancakes, waffles, Benedicts, omlette, and. scrambles. They cover a lot of items and I'll definitely be back to try more, especially their crab cake Benedict and patty melt. I'm particularly mad that I forgot my server's name, I do remember she had teal streaks in her hair. She was probably one of the nicest servers I have ever met. She was helpful with explaining the menu, made sure we were good on condiments and refills, and was the perfect amount of fun and professionalism. Breakfast spots but seem like a dime a dozen but in this economy, you gotta set yourself apart from the rest and this place definitely does just that with their food and service.

The wait for the food was at least 30 minutes. Not entirely bad because this tells me they are making the food fresh, not microwaved or warmed up. The service was nice and friendly but no one came back to check on us, but they were pretty busy. The parking is terrible. Not the restaurant's fault but be prepared for small spaces and not many spaces.
