If ever there was a classic old school diner, this is the place. It's not really old but the décor is so '50s, you can just imagine greasers pulling up in their hotrods and swaggering inside. The best seats in the house are at the counter, where you can banter with the staff and watch the action on the grill. The owner and his staff are super-friendly and accommodating. On this visit, we were with a large group seated in the smaller dining room next to the gaming room. The restaurant was full and the kitchen got backed up; a few in our group did not receive their food until after others had finished their meals. You get a ton of food; most lunches include a bowl of soup, fries and slaw. On a previous visit, I ordered a chicken Philly sandwich that was messy to eat but okay. This time, I began with beef barley soup that tasted like it came out of a red and white can, but the LA wrap was a winner and the accompanying fries were perfect. My Missus gave the Meatloaf Special 5 stars. read more

Made a new friend at the recent Kansas Concert, a Music Biz Veteran. Nice guy, total Mensch. We agreed to have lunch and compare war stories. He suggested Teddy's here and I'm glad he did. The Gyros was recommended, and it was a good tip! Maybe the best I've had outside of Greektown here in Chicago. They touted their home-made soups, and the BeefBarley proved they weren't lying. Great Coffee as well. It's a homey atmosphere, most friendly. Tisha was a great server and the owner, Anna was very gracious. Alas, it's quite a cruise from Stately Breakwind Manor, so I don't know how much of a regular I'll become at Teddy's but it sure ain't because of the cooking which was grand! The onliest bugaboo-the parking lot is kind of small, and the place was packed. Had to circle for awhile and wait for someone to leave. Worth the wait, though! read more

Wanted to get breakfast with a friend and some of the other places that came up were insanely over priced. $16 for 2 eggs, hash browns and toast? Absolutely not. Found teddy's which had BETTER ratings and completely reasonable prices. The food was great! Eggs were perfectly cooked, hash browns had a nice layer of crisp on them, and the pancakes were great too! Our waitress was super nice, food came out fast, everyone that came in seemed like a regular and you know that means it's good. I would definitely go back. read more

Teddy's Diner feels like stepping into a classic American breakfast dream. The pancakes are fluffy, the bacon is crispy, and the coffee never stops flowing. The staff treats you like family, and every plate looks (and tastes) homemade. A true comfort-food gem read more

(Was about 15 min after placing my order) super upset and disappointed won't be back most likely read more

Everything is delicious waiters are great and the owner is watching every single detail.

Just found our new and favorite breakfast/brunch/lunch spot .... Teddy's Diner in Elk Grove Village is a 5+++ spot. I should not share cause I don't want it to become unaffordable BUT the owners deserve this post!! We had my birthday brunch for 13 people. Every meal, for a 4 year old through an 80+ year old was fantastic and served quickly! Going back again and again and again...you get it read more

The cutest diner with the nicest staff, ever! I think it's a run by a family, because there were 2 ladies that looked like a mother/daughter team, one handed out lollipops to my niece, the other handed out balloons. TOO cute! Aside from great service, the food was delicious. We left no egg, crepe, pancake behind. Everything was fluffy, flavorful, cooked perfectly, proportioned appropriately. The hot coffee was also really good. Definitely coming back to Teddy's the next time we're in town! read more

I had lunch here many times and loved the food and service. The daily house made soups are so good. I ordered the daily special several times which usually comes with a choice of two homemade soups. They were all very good and a healthy portion I never walked out hungry. My coworker ordered breakfast and loved it one of them ordered the cheese blitz and just about licked the plate clean. He said it was really good. read more

Well, a few of us rolled in after a night shift at work. What a great low key diner! Greek omelet was full of gyro meat and seasoned well. Truly friendly staff and a constant eye on coffee and water was a great addition to our lovely meal. Thanks for a great end, to a long night! read more

The food is good..and a nice diner..BUT if you are sensitive to pepper..avoid the benedicts..Never expected this spice to be so strong..I need less in my food.. Did speak to them ..but ate all my food cause I was beyond hungry..but beware of the white pepper they use..tooo much..ask first..Makes it all less enjoyable.. read more

Eat here at your own risk! FIRST ISSUSE.... our waitress. She wore an odd plastic mask that covered her mouth but not her nose. She was able to breath all over our food. Her clear plastic mouth mask was disgusting. Her mask was filled with spit marks and over all just dirty. I wanted to vomit every time she asked us if we needed anything. I had to stop looking at the mask because I was losing my appetite. SECOND ISSUE....there was no plexiglass or any type of COVID guidelines followed. THIRD ISSUE.... we asked if the OJ was fresh squeezed and she said yes from another facility. She poured the OJ from what looked like a a gallon purchased from a store. OJ WAS $2.25 for about 1/2 a cup. Pancakes.... delicious and this is why they get 2 stars . I believe there was vanilla in the batter , they were delicious. Bacon... perfectly crispy Scrambled eggs... just scrambled eggs, nothing amazing about them. Sausage... fatty, has to spit most of it o read more

Great breakfast spot post night-shift at ABMC. My friend Claudia introduced me to this place. The decoration is cute and a real diner-vibe for sure. The service was good! Our waitress was attentive, helping out and still giving us space. She even recognized my friend. We both ordered Egg Benedicts, hers being the original one and I got the Irish one. I'm not usually a Benedict gal for brunch, but it sounded too good and the price was amazing. Claudia also recommended them. That being said, it was delicious! It came with so much food and yet I ate every last bite. She also got a breakfast beer while I got a mimosa. Perfect champagne to OJ proportion and great choice to go with this breakfast. -I also came back the next week with a different friend, who I introduced this place to. I ordered the French toast and it was just as delicious. If I had to choose between the two though, I'd pick the Benedict!- read more

A wonderdul place for breakfast or lunch. Super friendly staff and great food. Our party of 7 all loved their meals.

Food was great but too expensive for my liking. Went for a quick breakfast and walked out having paid almost $50. I had an omelette, orange juice and coffee and my husband had pancakes, ham and coffee. Maybe those are todays prices but I was shocked. Breakfast in a strip center in a diner $50? Smh. Everything tasted great though. read more

This spot was such a cute place! Saw really good reviews so decided to try it out! We got the order to go due to the covid situation. Nonetheless the food was phenomenal and ready quickly! read more

Teddy's Diner - Nutella Chocolate Delight Crepe Healthy Scrambler Club - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elk Grove Village, Illinois

Always a great meal and friendly service. I try and make it here on a regular basis. Breakfast or lunch, it's great.

Food was decent, but a little pricey. Service was ok, until the wait staff took my cup to get a refill, and never came back. Not the end of the world, and I like supporting smaller restaurants because it helps the local economy. The issuse was the ambiance: Most of the reason why I'm probably never going back is because they are helping to push division and conspiracies by having Newsmax on the HUGE tv for everyone to watch. While I was there, Newsmax even had live coverage of Trump spewing his lies. Newsmax was one of the networks that settled in court for defamation lawsuits from Dominion and Smartmatic. They are just like Fox (which is only good for sports games), and Fox has even admitted in court that no one in their right mind would believe anything they say, and that it's only opinion. Wake up and change the channel! Very sad, but I don't think I'll be going back unless they stop helping to push fake news and lies. It's embarrassing that they are close to my home, and I need to find a new small restaurant or go back to Elly's, which has good food and decent service too. https://www.forbes.com/sites/markjoyella/2022/04/14/newsmax-ceo-chris-ruddy-we-dont-want-to-be-known-as-the-trump-channel/?sh=4af278d74279 Please do your own research, there is a lot of coverage on many of these right-wing opinion (not news) networks. Wake up! read more

The service was slow and unorganized , but the waiter I had was great . The food we ordered tasted a little less than average , but the pricing for the food was alright . I wouldn't recommend this place , there are many other places in the area to go grab brunch . read more

Ambience. TRYING to look like a 50's dinner Wait staff: Slow on the coffee refills, but other than that she was attentive. Food: Coffee was cold and watered down. Ordered a burger. Came with a bowl of soup, coleslaw, and fries. Soup: Must have been previously frozen as the carrots and celery was mushy and soft. Very watered down. Too salty but no other spices to give it flavor. Burger was just okay. nothing special. Appeared to look like commercial bought patty. White onions on burger are cut very thin, like when you get them on a gyro, or greek salad. very pungent bitter taste. Coleslaw: Was served in a very small cup. Very bland. Fries: Typical frozen fries that were cooked in some lower grade oil as they had an odd taste from the oil. Eggs, were just that, eggs. Hash Browns cooked in lower grade oil. Needed to be more crispy. Pancakes were gummy. Batter was off to give it this consistency. Pricing is high for the quality of food they serve. They are obviously cutting corners, with the watered down soup, coffee, no name brand creamer, mustard and ketchup. We were in the area wanted to try a new breakfast place. Read the reviews and sorry to say they did not live up to their higher ratings. We are foodies and eat out a lot. We know what good, food is and cooking with quality ingredients. We are also good cooks. I am Greek so most of us can cook...I assume the owners are too. However this restaurant is not typical of how Greeks cook in the restaurant business. When you cut corners on the quality of your food it will bite you in the butt sooner or later. I assume this establishment is busy because there are not many breakfast/brunch restaurants in the close vicinity. For us back to Honey Berrys in Roselle, and Hoffman. read more

I am rating this place before I even get my food. Because the service here is amazing. This is my first time visiting the store and I had no clue what was in the menu so I've made some wild orders but the lady at front counter has made everything possible by rearranging it for me. Very humble and she has the brightest smile too. I'll definitely visit here more often. read more
