    Denver skillet. 4 eggs over easy.

    Always great service and value . All the pictures speak for themselves. The ham is the best anywhere period so if you love ham you need to come here. I'm not sure how they can charge the prices they do but it's a great value. Soup menu changes daily but pea soup is always available.

    Stopped by for breakfast with nephew. The place wasn't busy being it was a holiday. The vibe is old school diner, seat where you want to sit and the menu is on the desk. I got the western omelet with wheat toast and a gravy on the side. I also ordered the side of king ham. my nephew got the breakfast special (2 eggs, king ham and 3 pancakes). This place gets 5 stars for the king ham. This is what sets this place apart. The omelet had tons of ham chunks, so if you love ham and eggs, western omelet is the way to go. Staff members were friendly and provided great service!

    A generous to go serving with croutons on the side! YUM!

    Mr Allison's has been a favorite of mine for several years! The split pea soup is absolutely the best. It's flavorful with big bits of ham. The croutons really complete the experience! I now live over an hour a half away so I make sure I stop and get some to bring home when I'm in the area!

    Great breakfast and ham off the bone. The wait staff is wonderful and very accommodating. The party next to us was a party of 18 and our waitress was on top of everything and even did separate checks for the party of 18. #iraeats #iraeats1

    2nd time I've been here, the food is fresh & delicious. Today I tried their special which was lingonberry blitz which was SO good. The other person had ham and eggs. The ham is nice and thick pieces, not that thin stuff. They're also offering a great all you can eat fish fry right now.

So it was off our list for a while. We've now started eating at the bar, which gets us away from much of the noise, and the food and service are still excellent. Today two of us came for lunch; our server Clarissa was very attentive to my guest's need for a gluten-free meal, and also cheerfully got the pounding music turned down so we could hear each other talk. If only there was a way to address the noise issue overall, I would be happy to give this place five stars...!

    Flavors were good and the service was average…read more We ordered their "Our Chicken Parm" although the flavors were good, the plate did not have good temperature, there were parts of the chicken that were cold. It seemed like they had it made due to beating their top selling plate. The chicken had a rubbery feeling, for sure did not meet the hype. We ordered it and it was served very fast. In the other hand, their "Pesto Cavatappi" was served warmed and you could tell it was just made. The chicken on this dish tasted very good and the texture was very different from the Chicken Parm. I would recommend this dish instead of their number one as it was told to us by the server. We ordered two cappuccinos and their Flourless Chocolate Cake. Both cappuccinos were very milky and not warm enough. The dessert was really good but it also took a while to get it. We were half way done with our cappuccinos. Price - I feel they are priced too high for a chicken dish and pasta. Although it is a good portion it is still chicken and pasta. It was $31 for the chicken parm and $26 for the Cavatappi. The dessert was $12 It was a busy day but they should still keep their standards and serve food with the right temperature. I will give it another change for sure.

    Came here on a random Sunday during peak brunch hours at around 11:30 AM. Luckily we found some…read morestreet parking but there is a parking lot in the back as well. That is also free. When we checked in, they told us the wait was 40 minutes. I have no idea what happened but they actually seated us in 14 minutes. The place was totally packed. It's very cute and it's decor and ambience. However, something really weird is happening with the ceiling tiles so not sure if that needs any type of attention or repair. The place is pretty expensive as well. The menu is decent for choices with lots of different choices frankly. What I don't like about the menu is that with some of the orders it literally only comes with one sausage link, which I thought was weird and it doesn't even give you the option for Patty or an option for more sausage links in the order you have to order it on the side. When the dishes came, it was also weird was that the bacon was as thin as paper so that was really a letdown hence part of the four stars. Our waitress though was absolutely fantastic very attentive. She did forget a couple things but that's OK. It was a hectic morning. I don't mind that and it doesn't bother me. The pancakes are delicious. Definitely do not taste like overly floured, which is great. I would come back, however I will also say that the Arlington Heights area has a lot of brunch breakfast places, and in order to stay relevant you have to be competitive and really up your game whether it's on the food quality the location the service something that really makes you stand out ahead above the rest.

    Another strong option in a crowded Arlington Heights brunch market. This spot has some street…read moreparking outside the restaurant, but there's parking garages nearby that make it easy to park by here even if you have to walk a little bit. The decor is breakfast appropriate, not most decorated spot -- but good enough. Furniture is fairly comfortable as well, and the inside is not too loud even when fairly busy. Service is fairly frequent, and friendly. The menu prices here are very competitive, especially considering their location. Portion sizes are fairly large, though not enormous - but you can get sides such as biscuits and gravy, or fruit for the same price that you'd normally get toast. You can also get specialty pancakes for a small upcharge. The food here is prepared fairly well -- I enjoyed my corned beef hash skillet which wasn't too salty and wasn't overly oily. It was probably a bit simple in terms of preparation, but the ingredient quality was pretty good and the mix of flavors was good. The biscuits are quite fluffy here, with a gravy that's not too thick and not overly salty or peppery. The tiramisu pancakes were decorated very nicely, though the toppings and sauce were not bad -- but not as special as some other preparations I've had. The pancakes themselves were fairly spongy, though slightly dry. Overall, I am a fan of the menu here with lots of different sweet and savory options to fit everyone, and prices that are very reasonable for this area.
