    Lean Machine Omelette
    Tamara J.

    Since I work out at a gym in the same strip mall, I finally tried this restaurant. Sounds like it was recently renamed and is under new management. It has an old school feel and definitely needs updating. It was pretty crowded when I was there, but we were seated immediately. It's kind of small and feels like the neighborhood diner. Great prices for the food, decent quality, quick service. If you are looking for a upscale breakfast spot, this isn't it. But, if you want a quick, cheap, casual spot - this is it.

    Country fried steak with french toast.Over easy eggs with sausage links and fresh squeezed orange juice too. All delicious.

    Was surprised to see Nikos was gone. We hesitated in trying the new Oak Lawn Diner. It turns out it was a pleasant surprise. The service was perfect, very attentive. The owner came around and checked on us numerous times. The food was terrific and generous portions too. The country fried steak was a stand out for sure! Give it a try, I know you will enjoy it.

    Thank you to Niko's for sending Christ Emergency Department a breakfast care package for all of our staff! It was a wonderful surprise and were so thankful for the free and delicious delivery! All of the nurses, techs, doctors and staff enjoyed it very much! The food was so good! We all agreed that these were the best scrambled eggs! Thanks again, ED staff

    Worst breakfast I had in my life. To go order and they forgot my pancakes. And then they serve a breakfast that looks like this? Tasted worse than it looks which is hard to believe

    Mall style.

    This area was hard to find a breakfast place so when I saw the 4 stars I figured how bad could it be and I stopped by. The place is in a strip mall in the land of never ending strip malls one after the other after the other so parking was fine. The place is dated and on the dive side with it looking well worn was my first impression. It's not the cleanest with splatter on the wall and the glass in the picture in my booth. It looks like a garage sale threw up all over the place with all the country clutter as the decor. At 7:30 it's starting to fill up on a Saturday and it's mostly an older crowd of regulars. You could tell the service was going to be a problem because it was just getting started before the place filled up and I'm just sitting there on my phone waiting for someone to come over, my water took a good five minutes to hit the table. The menu had all the regulars but the country skillet states it's there best seller so I opted for that with scrambled eggs for a change. The skillet looked good with a pile of scrambled eggs on top and a side of country gravy. The skillet was ham, bacon, sausage, cheese, hash browns, green pepper, onion and mushrooms with a side of Greek toast. The skillet hit the table with no toast which she said she would be right back with, I like to start my breakfast with the toast to make a mini sandwich of the plate. I'm sitting there for a good five minutes while my food is getting cold as she is working the tables around me, still forgetting my toast and she finally sees me and says your toast and now I'm just annoyed with the no toast issue. The fluffy scrambled eggs had a weird texture like moist saw dust, kind of mealy which was completely turning me off. The skillet vegys had all the crispness cooked out of them and mushy. The whole breakfast was super average and nothing wowed me in any way. Now I'm just ready for a box and my check so I can leave and I'm still just sitting there and finally I asked the hostess for a box when she seated some people near me. The service here sucked and I could have been on my way much faster from another place I thought. My only high light from the visit was the complementary soup to go that I was offered while paying, they were stacked up next to the register so everyone must get one while paying. It was like a tomato beef barley and nothing special with very little beef but with some crackers it would be ok as a snack.

    Food is fantastic. Price is high. Service from Nick (owner) was TERRIBLE…read more I was a long-time (20+ yr), loyal customer up til I was yelled at by Nick because I spoke up about consistently receiving orders much later than promised via online orders. I had placed many online orders for pick-up on my 30min lunch break, to ensure I had proper time to drive to, pick up my food, and quickly drive back from the restaurant. After a few pick-ups took around 20mins after promised time, I was pretty upset. I was told they only start making food once the person is there to pick it up, so I asked what's the point of placing an order online and receiving a pick-up time, when the food only starts to get made once you're at the restaurant to pick up? That's when the owner stepped in (My family and I have had many pleasant convos with him before at the old location), turned red, bunched up his face, and legit yelled at me "What do you expect? Do you want your fries to be cold or do you want them fresh?" (I was taken aback, and responded "I expect my order to be ready at the time indicated"). He told me I could go elsewhere. I get it. I was receiving consistently poor service and was upset when I asked the cashier about timing, so he stepped in to defend his worker. What I don't get is how you can tell a customer to go somewhere else when they're expecting their food at the time promised (or at least within 5 mins...I'm not THAT picky). Perhaps my expectations are too high?

    I was just at this establishment about an hour ago.. and unfortunately, I was treated pretty rudely…read morein a very short amount of time. To briefly explain... I ordered, paid for the order, then my wrap was being prepared. I see the worker putting the finishing touches on my wrap, crisping it on the grill.. so I wait to be handed my order. While waiting, someone else comes in.. orders and pays, customizes their bowl.. receives their bowl ....and then is given an extra bowl that a customer didn't pick up and was told it was to make up for the "wait".. meanwhile, the worker who made my wrap has long disappeared and my order has been sitting on the grill. That person who came in after me, has now left. I only received my order a few minutes after that. Btw there were no other people in line waiting. Just me, standing there for over 15 minutes waiting on an order that was done. Also, the way I was talked to was not okay when I was asked was 'said bowl' my order. So unfortunately, this came across as racially motivated, since I was treated as less of a priority. And it's really rare that I feel that way but... this was a weirdly rude experience. Will not be returning. Thank you for my meal.

The beef they had was probably my favorite and I am not usually a beef person. I wish I'd gotten a bit more of it! The mashed potatoes are always a favorite of mine too. The place is both a restaurant and, at the front, seems to have some grocery items as well. They have a wine room, though not something I checked out. The private room was comfortable; it didn't feel overly crowded or anything, even though there were at least eight tables for dining and then a few others for food and gifts and whatnot. The one thing that was a little weird was that there were a couple bathrooms in the front of the room, which seemed like an odd and somewhat conspicuous place to put them. There was a bathroom out in the main restaurant, too, and also a family bathroom which I appreciated. That's where the changing table is located. Parking seems minimal--unless I missed some, it didn't actually seem like enough for the size of the restaurant. But they do have a private lot.

Friendly, quick service, great food! When you order spinach, which you should, they give you so much that your eye doctor will thank them. The place feels like what I would imagine a local bar would feel like. I've been to parties here and the staff was great during those too.
