Open face turkey tasted like last thanksgiving's turkey Southwest chicken salad was lettuce in a taco shell- no added cucumbers or tomatoes . Served with some awful pinkish orange dressing with beans in it ? (We think ). Chicken soup looked like some Campbell's from a can . Not a good lunch choice read more

This place is a solid diner. If you are looking for diner grub served with a smile and a good cup of coffee, give this place a try. My family and I dine here a few times a year. We are far from regulars. My son loves diners, he always has. He and I had lunch here on a Wednesday. We were seated right away. The host was very friendly and cracked a joke with my son. Our waitress was very pleasant and friendly. She didn't talk down to my son when he asked her a question about the menu. She actually seemed pleased to talk to him about it. My son ordered the cinnamon swirl french toast, plain with a side of bacon and a chocolate milk. I ordered the Canadian chicken sandwich, which is grilled chicken with Canadian bacon and mozzarella cheese. I am not a big fan of french fries and I am really picky when it comes to eating them. The fires that came with my sandwich were really good. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, which is (IMO) a perfect french fry. They were not greasy or soggy. They were skin on which is an added bonus. The chicken breast that was on my sandwich was pounded out thin and was huge. It was seasoned very well and cooked just right. It wasn't rubbery or dry. It paired nicely with the Canadian bacon and mozzarella. My coffee cup was never low, which is a huge perk for me when dining out. We will definitely be back. read more

Love coming to Mrs V's ! We try to come here on Sundays for breakfast. The line may seem long but they get people seated very quickly. The food is made to order and is always delicious. The waffle a la mode (waffle with ice cream) is my personal favorite. Top that with whip cream and you have breakfast and dessert all in one! The biscuits and gravy are amazing too! read more

Terrible service!!! Terrible food!!!! Definitely not worth the time and effort. Better off going to McDonald's and that ain't saying much. read more

Wanted to find a local restaurant. The first time I went in was 2:25 I was told they were closing at 3 so I tried again the next day. Place was dirty but I got served. Food and service was acceptable. The third time I went there I got seated but didn't get waited on. 3 servers were setting up for a table of 6 and really got the the impression no one there wanted waste their time on just on 1 person. I won't try again. read more

Waitress was good. Food was ok, but not great. New menu, Higher Prices, No Senior specials anymore and they now charge you 4% extra if you use a credit card. Won't go back. read more

Food poisoning anyone? My older sister and I will occasionally stop by Mrs. V's every once in a while on a Sunday afternoon to pick up a container of cream of chicken and rice soup, buy a loaf of French bread and have that for dinner. Never again. About 11 p.m., I was bolted awake with the urgent need to hit the bathroom. Both ends were evacuating at the same time. I was able to get seated and grab a trash can to let lose. It wasn't pleasant, but I felt better -- thought nothing more about it. Around 4:30 a.m., I hear my sister in her bathroom making similar noises and again I am helping myself into the bathroom. Long and short, I had to call off of work, spent most of Monday either in bed or in the bathroom. Undercooked chicken? Did the cream go off? I don't know and don't want to know. No one should have to go through with that. Unforgivable. Never again Mrs. V. read more

It's been awhile since I wrote a review, but the service at Mrs. V's is so outstanding, it warranted a review while I'm still sitting at the table. Robin is quite literally the best server I've ever had. She catches EVERYTHING before you need to say a word. Our coffee and water were never empty, she remembered us from our first visit 3 weeks ago and she even sensed when we weren't thrilled with our food choices and brought replacements without being asked. The food is probably worth 4 stars, but it's the best diner we've found in the Chain-O-Lakes area so far!! The French toast is delicious, the slammer sandwich is "killer," and the French fries are exactly how we love them. We will definitely return to Mrs. V's and request Robin's section! read more

I've been to this place before and had a pretty good meal. Today's visit fell short. Wife had breaded pork tenderloin. It looked great, but was on the dry side and somewhat tough. The gravy provided was good, but did not help the pork. Other sides were good. The Greek Chicken I had was very disappointing. The chicken parts looked good and plentiful, especially the extra large breast. However, it was overcooked and on the dry side. What made it noticeably unacceptable was I did not taste any Greek spices. So why was it called Greek Chicken? Because of the missing Greek spices the accompanying potatoes were a let down as well. The soups were good, and so were the accompanying desserts. read more

Mrs. V's, used to be known as Blue Bay, is definitely one of the better restaurants in town for breakfast and lunch. Dinner? I am not sure, I never tried them for dinner but when I am out early for Sunday breakfast, I always find myself sipping on fresh coffee and reading the newspaper at Mrs. V's. It's very nice inside, although it's a bit out of style, it's nice because it takes you back to the old days, not too long ago though! It's pretty big inside so there usually is never a wait which is great and the service is awesome. The waiters are usually always friendly and welcoming and they serve you quickly and appropriately. The noise level could get loud depending on the time of day you go. If you go on a Saturday morning at, say 10 AM, it's probably going to be more packed as it would on a Wednesday afternoon at, say 2 PM. So, if you have young'ens that are sensitive to noise levels, make sure you're careful when you come here. The food is always fresh, piping hot and you're always served quickly. Not only that but the prices are excellent! I always have the Meat Lover's Skillet in the morning or the Biscuits and Gravy. Delicious and the best in town, well, to my knowledge. Wanna know what else puts these guys on top? The owner/manager is always there welcoming their customers, cashing out their checks for them, giving free lollipops to the children and they are always very jolly and friendly. That is always a plus. You don't see that often.. an owner and management at the front register welcoming and talking to their customers. I haven't felt more welcomed and appreciated in a restaurant before until now. I highly recommend you stop in and try this restaurant. They never let me down (and believe me, I am tough on my reviews, I am not easy to please) and I am sure they won't let you down. The prices are great, the food is fresh and delicious, great for the kids and the service is out of this world. It's how Yelp.com always says it, "Woohoo! It's as good as it gets!" read more

I like Mrs. V's It is pretty much the same as "Blue Bay" (old name). But new look and owners. I highly enjoy it now that there is non smoking. I usually only eat breakfast, soup, or sammiches ;) The one time that I ventured out of those categories, I ended up with a LONG, thick string in my mashed potatoes. Which the owner apologized and comped my meal. It was a understandable mistake. Turns out it was a piece of a rag they use to wipe the mixing bowls. I usually always order the "Country Skillet". Which is hashbrowns, green peppers, onions, country sausage, cheese, eggs and a choice of toast. Yummy...Now I want one. read more

The lady owner is a complete B**TH! Every time they mess up a to go order they have a excuse. One time I told one of her sons there were egg shells in my eggs he didn't believe and grabbed the eggs with his hand and started looking for shells! Really ?!?! After 20 years of going, i will never be a customer again read more

A friend lives in RLB and introduced me to Mrs. V's. Wow, am I a fan. Yes, it is like the typical Greek-owned family diners that you grew up with. Yes, they have a pretty extensive menu that makes me wonder how they can make everything consistently tasty and taste fresh. Yes, they have a spinning glass pie case that makes me chuckle for some reason. I love diners, though, and the food I've had at Mrs. V's has been consistently yummy and flavorful. Portions are ample - be prepared to either have a food coma or take home leftovers! For breakfast, check out their specials - the skillets are the best I've had anywhere and definitely has the biggest portions too. For lunch, the Greek chicken wrap is delish! It had the right amount of tzatziki sauce, and the chicken was tender (not dry like I've had elsewhere). The food has always been hot and melty, and I love the double-fried fries. Mmmm, heart attack waiting to happen! Staff is friendly, and I've never waited more than 5 minutes to be seated, even on a Sunday morning. It's definitely worth checking out if you hold a special place in your heart for Greek-owned diners like I do. read more

Every town has a good diner and this is it for RLB. We eat here on average twice a week. Great breakfast. Everything else is typical good diner food. My standby is the turkey with stuffing and mashed potatoes. F'n yum. My significant other gets nothing but the Mexican skillet. Yum. The staff here is great, too. My only complaint is that they're not open later than 10. It sucks when we have to go to Dino's. read more

I'm starting to become a regular at this place for it seems each time I go, the place grows on me. I've tried several items on the menu, ranging from the sandwiches, burgers and pasta. I will say, the pasta was a bit of a flop, but outside of this myself and my family have been enjoying the other items on the menu. The desserts here are good too. The menu is the typical rage of food which you would see on a Denny's menu or any other, local, ma & pa type of family restaurant. The service so far has been really good and they are extremely friendly. They love kids and always ensure your meal is okay. The prices and value are very much in line. I find this is a good place to bring the family where you can have an inexpensive meal and have a nice conversations without a lot of distractions. read more

Service couldn't be any worse. I came here on a Saturday and had breakfast. The Mexican omelet doesn't even come with avocado or sour cream. The waitress did not return to our table after bringing the food except to give us the check. At no time did she offer to refill my coffee, water or inquire on how our food was. Just lazy staff at this place with mediocre food. read more

Best soups food is always great I love coming here o probably go twice a week every Sunday is a must for my family live it here

Your classic breakfast all day long diner, it's warm and friendly, lots of wood finishing with a fetish for rooster statues ;) I believe it is greek owned because I can order saganaki, one of my faves. My husband had a skillet and loved it, I tried the Eggs Benedict and sadly was not a fan. The ham was very thin and did not care for the muffin they used. I did like the hollandaise sauce. My husband loved it and I will go back to try something else. The pancakes were nice and fluffy. read more

See all

This is your classic Greek diner. We laugh as I swear these menu's are all the same! LOL. That said, decent food. Nothing earth shattering, but good. Certainly better then going to Denny's or something similar. The service was great too! I love the vibe it has of that local joint, too. read more

This was my first time there, I grew up on Blue Bay & Golden Bear (the previous names), I just haven't made it in all these years since the "name change" I am a HUGE fan of breakfast food, and have fond memories of this restaurant from way back in the day, so my family and I ventured in. It was PACKED, but we were seated quickly. None of the staff seemed happy, yes it is a Saturday morning, but pretend you are happy to see customers (I am a restaurant manager myself, so I know how it feels, at least try and fake a smile) Our waitress was efficient, and not at all friendly. I was with 2 senior citizens, so things are a little slower pace, and I felt rushed and unwanted. Our food came quickly, but nothing exciting. We ordered the Texas skillet, crepes, and the Gyro Skillet. The coffee was cold, the iced tea had a strange off-taste (powdery almost, like it was a mix that wasn't stirred thoroughly). Everything was just ok, the skillets were underseasoned and the flavors of the gyro skillet did not blend well (I ended up eating everything seperately) The crepes, well I can make better myself, so hardly worth going out to buy. The texas skillet is the only one that was "good" but still, nothing spectacular. The portions are smaller than Emily's (one of my fave brunch spots) but the price is about the same. If I am going to spend the same amount of cash, I would prefer to have the larger portions, hence, leftovers! So I won't be back for breakfast anytime soon, but I will probably go back to try the dinner menu (you know, for old-time-sake) If dinner rocks, I will update... read more

This is my favorite local place for breakfast. Lunch food is excellent as well, but I am a breakfast junkie. I love the hash browns. This place is always packed with people. The owners are at the front desk all day long, greeting people and showing them to their seat. The wait staff is always quick and usually friendly. If it's SUPER busy, the waitresses usually get sassy, but that kind of makes it more fun. Mrs. V's is an all-around good place. I highly recommend it. read more

We visited on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. The place was bustling. Service was very quick, and the menu expansive. The two omelette that we ordered were very ordinary. Seemed to lack taste. The wheat toast was very underdone, barely brown and with an unpleasant doughy texture. The hash browns were very unexceptional. I didn't expect much walking in the door, and I didn't get much walking out the door. read more

This is quickly becoming a favorite place for my Sunday breakfasts. Great service. Amazing food. Quick service. There's nothing to complain about here. read more

Have to leave a review because this place deserves it. Just plan good! Fast seating, friendly, fair prices and good food. Coffees always good and they keep my cup full! We are a family of 6 and the kids love it too. read more

Great experience, delicious food, and wonderfull atmosphere. Their portions are quite generous and the food is perfectly cooked, our waitress was great never let our coffee get below half. read more

Wish the hash browns were back, not just sliced potatoes. Overall, I like the place. It's cute and the staff is so sweet and the prices are beyond affordable. read more

Where else can a party of four order fried eggs, pork tips, fried shrimp, and a gyro? The service is friendly and quick. The food is properly prepared and served hot. My parents visit here often and are rarely disappointed. Bottom line, big portions, small prices. read more

Worst place I have ever been to. My skillet smelled absolutely awful and made me gag with just one bite. I told my waitress I didn't want it and that it didn't make me feel good. She understood and took back the food. Later when we were paying for the check, the owner tries to make me pay for my skillet and said he didn't believe me that it made me feel nauseous then said he will take the skillet off the check only if I agree to never come back there again. This was my first time ever going there and I would never even want to go back there in the first place. He was yelling at me in front of all the customers because I told him the food didn't set good with my stomach and why would I pay for something that didn't taste good and that I didn't even eat? Worst place ever. read more

Quick service, nice servers. I had the tuna melt on sour dough and it was amazing. Husband had Greek chicken-he loved it and son had the shrimp platter. Generous portions. read more

normally like this place for breakfast , but decided on the pork chop dinner which was good. You get jello , ice cream or rice pudding for dessert so I ask what would be the upcharge for a pie and she says full price. How hard is it to say we would normally charge $1.25 for jello so we can credit that towards a pie? Every other place in the area does that. read more

Good place if you just want a quick bite. Staff is friendly but the pancakes are always over done and dry. Those cakes in the front display case are nasty. I've had 3 different flavors and each tasted "blah" at best. To heavily processed for my taste because i am Cake decorator and I know homemade cake when i taste it, and that is not it. read more

We've eaten here numerous times in the last few years, and we always enjoy the food and service. Whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner, the food is always fresh. So much good food, it's difficult to decide what to order! read more

This place is great. We visit at least monthly if not more when up in Round Lake to Visit our Granddaughter. Her favorite person there is Rea who is so sweet and polite and makes our granddaughter feel so special! Great Service, great food and family friendly atmosphere! read more

Hello my Yelp review friends I would like to tell you about this jewel of a restaurant and Round Lake is they treat you with the utmost respect very kind very considerate pretty much like family I'm a deftly recommend you to go to this place there's no other the guy at the front desk U enjoy speaking to him, I give him 5 Make me feel like a I been there before read more

My family and I frequent this place often. We love the food selection and breakfast is served all day. Food always comes out hot and staff is friendly and attentive. The fried chicken takes a little while to come out, but because it is fresh made, it is expected and worth the wait!!! Soups are very good too! read more

It's all about the soup! They have my favorite Sunday soup, Cream of Chicken with Rice. Your typical greek restaurant style but theirs is super creamy and delicious! The teriyaki chicken is pretty good too and you can't go wrong with a BLT or Grilled Cheese. read more

Not like it used to be. Went today, Grecian chicken just not good, Greek potatoes under done, the meal was just sort of cold.....Friend had a Greek Wrap, she said it was great. Server , while nice, was not very timely. Think some experience will help with that. Feel like the whole place has changed a bit.....not like it used to be. read more

Never coming back. My wife and I walk in and have eyes glued on us as we're sitting down trying to somewhat enjoy the mediocre food which hurt compared to how much we were spending. When the money hurts, the food isn't good. We don't have tattoos, we don't wear offensive clothing yet these employees found it to be their part time job to stare at us like we were stealing. read more

My fiancé and I moved into town just a little while ago and tried this place because it was told that it had really good all around good and it was not just breakfast foods. I have to say we were kind of disappointed because we ordered chicken fingers, the stuffed avocado with chicken salad, Julian salad and got two cups of soup. Now the server and the owner or manager both said their blue berry pie was to die for so we ordered on each. Let me say this one thing.... It was disgusting! The blue berries were like a think jelly/jello like consistency full of sugar! The cheese cake of self was very bland and left a strange texture and taste in your mouth. Their stuffed avocado player was very yummy and fresh, great balance of everything. One down side I would say was the chicken salad was very dry and bland. Needed some spicing up or salt. The Julian salad was very good but the quality of the sliced ham, turkey were poor and very fatty. The chicken fingers are our always safe fail plan of nothing else is good, and they were good but the breeding was strange and had an odd taste to them. I don't know how to explain it. But the soups here are always yummy and I love myself a cream of chicken and rice! Theirs was awesome, not to much salt and just enough chicken to rice to the cream base soup! We have to say we enjoyed it but we have to come back for breakfast and see how it is. read more
