My husband got the two hotdogs, fries, and drink special which was less than $10! I got the small Greek salad and grilled cheese on a pita. Lots of food! All of the items were hot and fresh - very flavorful. A steady stream of carry out customers came in and out - quick service.

(* Review is for Doggie Diner - and their prices - as a "vendor" at St. Charles Scarecrow Fest…read more2025). - Spent $15 ($16.20 total credit card charge) for a small 5" beef which appeared to be on one of those standard Turano rolls you can find at any grocery store. We felt raped.. Based on their regular menu prices, that same beef is about $8. So, for the fest, they gouged the price almost 100%. Uncalled for. We know they probably have to pay fees and "rent a tent" to be at festivals, so we would understand some increase, but a100% upcharge is just plain WRONG. As a family going back 3 generations, we have been giving Doggie Diner business all the way back to the late 80's - when they were originally in Carol Stream. Probably never again.... Shame on you.

A venerable landmark since there was little else out here on Joliet road, and a leviathan among…read morerestaurants. And they sure do know how to fry a chicken. Based on food, that 2-star above would be a "4". It's a family-run establishment, and therein lies the reason for the 2-star mark. They have rules. Oboy, do they have rules. When you order the chicken, they bring it out "family style", and only the folks who order the chicken can sup from the bowls. They put out relishes and yummy corn fritters, but don't think you're going to get to take them along in the doggie bag. You can rent a seat for $10.41, if you don't order a full dinner; and your kids can rent their seats for $5.20, if THEY don't order a dinner. There's a "Lettuce salad" for $8.63, but only at that price if you order WITHOUT croutons. Apparently the WFF folks didn't swing when the crouton futures were favorable. For the record, "croutons" are nowhere on the menu...at any price. There was a scowling manager who reminded me of Basil Fawlty (q.v.). It seemed she was annoyed by the customers. Their policy is NO SPLIT CHECKS. That's okay, we have calculators on our fones. We were a party of four, a regular dining quartet, and it is our custom that no one picks up the entire check. Sometimes one or more of us pays cash for their portion and others have a card. We'll say: "charge each card $40, and here's $50 in cash". Round numbers, easy peasy. (which actually results in a bonus for the server 'cos the tip turns out to be greater than normal) We've never encountered a problem at any resto (who accepts credit cards) when it came to giving them payment in this fashion. O, but there was a problem here. One of our 4 didnt have any cash and needed to pay with his card, but was told "No, you can't!" The fellow with the Card was so offended, he said he was going to skip dinner, and just have a Diet Coke. But that would trigger the $10.41 "I ain't eatin'" fee. Well. It stupefies me that ANY establishment would kick back at customers wanting to pay their bill. The waitress was adamant that we could not proffer varied payments for our bill. We asked for a manager, and Ms. Fawlty sidled up to our table. They kept insisting there was "NO SPLIT CHECK", but we weren't ASKING for a split check. The ask was on the SUM TOTAL (with generous tip added). We even made the ask in "round numbers" They didn't have to do any math. I thought I was going to have to pull up an Esperanto translator to get her to understand we weren't asking to SPLIT the check. After some sprightly conversation, the loose wire in the old bag's noggin hit the right contact and then she grokked what we were proposing. I thought I saw sparks coming from her right ear, but it might have been a trick of the light. Luckily, the guy with the card could now eat. The aggregate service was fine, with the above exception, and as I said above, the food IS top-notch. Even beyond Chicken-- the Steak here is very good. My carping here nonetheless, it's a fun place to go, and you are guaranteed a fine feed. But if you're in mixed company, work out who is going to grab the tab before you sit down...

Everything had something different and we were able to share. The menu items we tried included French toast, eggs Benedict, crepes , blueberry pancakes, grilled cheese, m&m pancakes, superhero kids meal and a blueberry lemonade! The service was magnificent! First, for having 11 people in our party on a Sunday, we were seated really quickly. Veronica B was our server and we could tell she was an experienced server. She took our orders with ease, has no problem with substitutions, was friendly with the adults and kids alike and even approached one mom in the group to check on something for an order discreetly. Then, the food came out faster than we expected. The portions were huge and most people in the group couldn't finish all that was on their plates. The prices were great especially for the amount of food you get. That is rare these days. Thank you for the great experience! When we visit Illinois again, we will certainly visit. Also, please open one in Oakland county or Macomb county, Michigan.
