Dear Management Team,…read more I am writing to share the outstanding experiences my wife and I have each time we visit the Egg Harbor restaurant in Orland Park. The food is consistently excellent, but it is the exceptional service provided by your staff that makes each visit truly unforgettable. The hostesses always greet us with a warm "Hi" and a smile. While the staff who bring our drinks are also very nice, I would especially like to highlight three team members who deserve recognition for their professionalism. Whenever we are served by Marvin, Christian, or Armani, they welcome us with genuine warmth and manage our table flawlessly. Their attention to detail, deep knowledge of the menu, and perfect timing throughout our meal are consistently impressive. These three individuals work together as a seamless team, and their work ethic and positive attitudes reflect the best of your establishment. They consistently go above and beyond to ensure our comfort, anticipating our needs before we even have to ask, while maintaining a highly professional yet friendly demeanor. Employees of this caliber are rare, and they significantly enhance your brand. I strongly believe that their exemplary dedication deserves tangible recognition. I highly recommend that they be commended monetarily, whether through a bonus, a raise, or a financial performance award. They truly earn and deserve it. Thank you for fostering a culture of excellence. Please pass along our sincere compliments and recognition to Marvin, Christian, and Armani. Additionally, we would like to acknowledge the former manager, Tony, who also provided great leadership and professionalism. My wife and I miss seeing Tony and wish he would return to the Orland Park location. Warm regards, R and S

Usually don't like sweet beverages, but this was perfect. The coffee was excellent and the sweetest part of the coffee was the whipped cream, like I said, perfect. I had to order another it was so tasty. Of course I got the pumpkin pancakes, candied nuts on the side, not in the batter (my preference) and they were also perfect. We got a table by the window and even though they are on a very busy intersection, the wall & foliage between the restaurant and the street gave the place a nice quiet vibe. Will definitely have to go back with my family.

Let me begin by saying $8.99…read more $8.99 OH MY GOSH, $8.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to begin here, as my feelings were DEEPLY HURT, as the cost of a glass of orange juice that was MAYBE 12OZ was $8.99! Why!? Why!? Why!? This was discovered when it was time to pay the bill. I have been to MANY PLACES...MANY places for breakfast fare, and have had LARGER GLASSES of orange juice for less. I could not for the life me figure out how or why this was the price they decided on!!??! Was it freshly juiced orange juice? Sure. Was it enjoyed by my date? Yes. Was that itty bitty glass worth $8.99? NOPE,AND A BIG FAT NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It kinda ruined it for me. Because it didn't sense. *exhaling* I found this cute spot just by googling"pancakes near me". Lol I find fun things this way:) When I tell you it was everything I needed it to be (except for that orange juice price tag-yes, I am still reeling from that and its 10:38pm CST). It was small inside. It was cute. No Instagram frills. It reminded me of the 90's. The music playing was even befitting for a sweet, soft, enjoyable breakfast experience. No one was there when we arrived. Just the workers. Very attentive individuals. Not too big on smiles, but I was there for pancakes. The order: The pancake combo/breakfast came with 2 pancakes, I added fresh strawberries. Eggs cooked soft(2) sausage links(2). I had a cup of coffee with water. My date's order: Cinnamon Apple Pancakes Pancakes (2) eggs(2) and (2)bacon. Oh and that RIDICULOUSLY PRICED ORANGE JUICE.*sigh* *To our surprise, we recieved 3 pieces of breakfast meats apiece * The meal was perfection. It was what my belly and morning soul needed. Fresh, crispy, warm, and simply delightful. Coffee hot. Yes, please keep it coming! Lol I ate it slow. Each bite made me so happy I(again randomly selected a new spot to check out. Well, new to me. I asked how long this establishment has been open, the response, 14 years. 14 years!? And I never knew it was there. In a new plaza.... hmmm.. how did I miss that!? A few more people trinkled in as we ate. The noise level didnt really change. When I say it was so quiet in there. So peaceful. So calm. It was absolutely what my Saturday morning heart needed. Thank you. Though the orange juice price was BANANAS!!!!!! I will return. It was such a good time. Such a calming good time. And as always, you don't have to believe me... Go get you some!

#66/2023 Lumes pronounced (LOOMS) is a regional Chicago area…read morebased breakfast/lunch chain similar to like Original Pancake House and Blueberry Hill cafes. Founded in the early 90s they have expanded to all directions around the Chicago suburbs with one location in the city. That one of course made news back in the covid days with a tragedy that at least they've gotten over. Like any classic breakfast place it's pretty much all the same full menus loads of selections from omelets to pancakes to crepes to waffles. August 31 2023 Walking into the Orland Park location it was pretty crowded but they seated me quickly. I looked at the menu and decided on getting just a classic eggs benedict potatoes and some extra Hollandaise. Quality of the food was good It's like any other place anymore your days of 599 breakfasts are gone it's going to cost you about 20 bucks anymore no matter where you are it seems. Just the nature of the beast. Waitress kept my coffee refilled. I will probably return here again we have so many different ones around the area where I live for choices. Although on the back of one of the tickets there's also a Lumes breakfast Cafe that is not listed in Willowbrook because they have old pads in stock basically for years and they're not going to make a new printing of them just for that lol but there is one in Willowbrook.

The Wife and I stopped in this morning. I ordered the Bacon waffle with a side of bacon. The food…read morecame out very quickly. The waffle was barely room temp as was the bacon. Kind of like they made the waffle and bacon 2 hours ago. I informed the manager as I paid the bill. She genuinely seemed unconcerned. We have been going there for years. Not any more. I can get warmer and better tasting EGGO at home without the $15 price besides the $6+ price of a side of bacon. Something has changed there and not for the better. There are a ton of breakfast places. Time to start looking.

One of the pluses is the blue plate special which allows you to pick from several items in different categories to make up your breakfast. It starts out with two eggs cooked your way and then you get to choose a breakfast meat or a half waffle or pancake or other items there's a small up charge if you want biscuits and gravy added, but it's nice to be able to create your own breakfast in a way my other favorite item is the turkey club. It's very generous. I usually get it and have it for lunch and dinner and it comes with fries or potato chips.

No warm fuzzies were felt as I entered into the restaurant. $5 for a small cranberry juice. Wow. I'll make sure to go to the grocery store 1st next time. Corn beef hash comes hot, but it's out from a can for sure. Asked for 2 orders of crispy bacon. I've had better. It's a little flimsy but they give your 4 slices per order to compensate. Can't complain about that. Asked for buttered toast. They obliged. A lot of restaurants don't do it. The star of the show: the hash browns. The best in the south suburbs. Real potatoes fried just right. Hot and and delicious even after a 15 minute trip. Could use some seasoning, but...whatever. Maybe I'll share that with them when I return, because I will return for those hash browns!

We woke up and needed breakfast. This place was close by to our hotel and I liked the name. The…read morefood looked great, so we went. Before writing, I was going to say that I planned to give this place a 4 rating. I only gave it a 3 rating because I started thinking about the food I ate... I couldn't remember anything about the food I ordered until I pulled up the pictures. Since I couldn't remember the food, it's not one of those unremarkable places to me. With that, it's good. Nothing about the place was bad. I like where it's located so that you can watch traffic. The food was edible, and the staff was nice/attentive. I ordered the strawberry banana french toast. My wife(fiancée at the time) ordered chicken and waffles. The place is a bit like a diner, but a large diner. There were obvious regulars in there having their coffee and chatting. Our food was good, but I'm not sure if it'd be a choice if we're ever in the area again. After leaving and getting on the road, we had to stop about 1 hour later to order other food because we were hungry again. You could do much worse with food places, so if you're hungry and nothing else looks appetizing in the area, give this place a try.
