    Malaya! She's an amazing server and cutie pie!
    Angela P.

    Here with my husband and mother in law enjoying a bowl of French onion soup. Our server, Malaya made this a wonderful experience! I was touched when she ensured my mom didn't spill her soup when putting her soup into the to go container. I loved how she made her feel special. The restaurant was relaxing and warm and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves. Malaya is a keeper and we will be back!

    This is an old diner that has been updated and well cared for by someone. The place is clean and the staff was great. The food was very good. In fact, I'm going to compare future diners to this one. And all the previous diners will probably lose a star. This diner gets five stars. The Ingredients were fresh. The hot food was hot and the gravy just perfect. My wife is very picky and instantly said "oh yeah, new favorite place!" I agree, we will be back. You need to come here and enjoy their breakfast food.

    Went for my Moms birthday for the advertised latte flights. The espresso machine was not working so they only had iced coffee flights ( bummer). We ended up getting the iced coffee flights...they were tasty. However, they had way to much ice, and no handles so they were very messy. Food and service are good. Great idea for all the different flights. I would come back to try the soup flights.

    Had a French toast dish here. It was so good but instead of the caramel i did a strawberry syrup instead. Loved the strawberry syrup with it. They did not slack on the fresh fruit and it was sweet and delicious. The waitress was so friendly! Will definitely be back when in the area to try some flights.

    coffee flights

    AMAZING coffee flights!! They even gave us to-go cups for the ones we couldn't finish. The potatoes are amazing, skip the hash browns!! Very happy! Will be back soon!

    Coffee flight was amazing! Waffle flight was a bit sweet for me but fun concept! Prices were very reasonable. Service was disappointing. Our friend got her food before she got her coffee. Another friend had egg shell in his food. The waitress laughed about it. I would go back just for the coffee flight and the cubed potatoes!

No I have ate TONS of breakfast places and had only veggies heated up honestly. I can name 6 places in orland, Bolingbrook, Naperville, Joliet, romeoville, I can eat just "veggie skillet no egg, no cheese" and it taste just fine. Ordered it and after few bites did not taste fresh, in fact tasted dry? And frozen. I got almost sick IMMEDIATELY. Mind you I paid " like "$20+" for this. My stomach was so messed up, I wanted to Vomit. Also note my boyfriend ordered Cheesey Egg Omelette, and also refused to eat it after 4 bites. it's not just my meal. Maybe what we ordered was just not the freshest veggie, or egg, or cheese, or... ? I don't know what the heck happened but $47 down the drain. 3 bites each. We asked for a check and walked out. I hate to leave a bad review but atleast the $5 strawberry juice, which was you know... not really fresh or juice was just flavored water, no sugar, was decent. ALSO, my boyfriend did like the pancakes. So... just order the pancakes Service was alright. Ambiance was alright. Food, personally I wouldn't come back. Even if you paid me. My stomach hurt so bad. The place looks nice tho, and lots of options, just don't take anyone who you love there, maybe an enemy.

The saving grace of this place was the friendly wait staff. Was seated quickly, but had to wait a while to have our order taken. Was immediately put off by the cost-- $15 for two eggs, potatoes, and toast. Wound up deciding on two coffees , "the Liege Pearl" waffle and a skillet. The coffee was weak and terrible. None of the flavors were balanced for the dishes. Way too much cheese and barely any mushroom or potato in the skillet while the waffle has tons of chocolate dumped on it, drowning out any other flavors. The kicker was that we were given 3/4 of a full waffle. When we asked, we were told the dish normally is only HALF a waffle and that we were lucky to get an additional quarter. For $17. Even if the menu were half the cost, I would never come back here. Edit: Dropped to one star on account of the unhinged response from the owner. To clarify: as soon as you walk into the restaurant, it smells like urinal cakes. I'm happy for the owner that they are attracted to that smell, but I'm positive the majority of people don't want the smell of urinal cakes to accompany their breakfast. Also to anyone else reading this, there are four sit down restaurants within two blocks with better breakfast food at better prices that don't smell like a toilet, let alone 3 other breakfast restaurants that opened in Oak Park in the last couple of years. Do yourself a favor and eat literally anywhere else.

I've eaten here at least 10 times over the years & it's always been nothing but fantastic. I've reviewed it previously but this one is from March '26. Give it is chance, I just don't see how it would disappoint. Thank you, Patrick

I was sat immediately and my waitress took my order as soon as I was ready. Both the hostess and waitress were friendly and competent. Even the silverware was basically spotless. Unfortunately that's where the good news ends. I ordered the steak skillet with diced jalapeños. When it arrived it looked fine. The scrambled eggs were fluffy and inviting. When I took my first forkful it went downhill fast. The steak was cut into unappetizing kibble sized pieces. After eating a few bites I encountered my one and only sizeable piece of green pepper. Curious I took the eggs off the top of the rest of the skillet and then lost my appetite. Before me was a brown mess of ingredients. I order meals with a healthy amount of freshies in order to have something fresh and not too heavy, fatty or greasy. This was all of those. I finished the eggs and pushed brown pile away. SUCH A GOOD START! wasted by poor food. A note about the back of house management: there was a lot of standing around. The white guy with the white hair whom I took to be the owner had a look on his face like he just didn't wanna be there. Don't know if it's RBF but at least try to look like you are happy to see people. I'm just so disappointed. I'm not going to make a recommendation this time.

A couple kinds of French toast. Scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, country fried steak, bacon,ham, corned beef hash, lots of potato casseroles, waffles, two kids of French toast...it just goes on and on. And then you have a full salad area with fresh fruit !! Oh and did I mention an entire buffet of pastries? Donuts, cinnamon rolls, danishes, muffins. It just kept going !!! Everything was fresh and replenished and delicious. The only thing I'd pass on was the Bloody Mary bar. Not a lot of stuffs. Cold chicken nuggets, bacon, green olives, some sad pickle spears, lemon wedges, celery, kielbasa, that was pretty much it. Would Have like to have seen cheese cubes or maybe some shrimp. But it was not bad, just nothing to write home about. All in all for 20.00 a person for food (I don't remember what the bloody bar was) it was a good deal. And they do it daily, not just on the weekends!!!
