Made a last minute birthday celebration for 11 people, passed by this restaurant often and always wanted to try. They accommodated all of us, agreed for us to bring our own birthday cake and also let us split checks which were all correct. The menu has plenty of options for any picky eaters and was very tasty. Waiter was very good and prompt. Will be back read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. Legitimately one of the most overpriced places I've ever set foot in. I get that you're "Libertyville", but for what you charge for a basic breakfast, you should be ashamed. read more

Breakfast was a pleasant experience. The longtime owner is so friendly and accommodating. He carefully watches to make sure things are running smoothly. The server was good and the bus person was great as well. He must have asked us seven or eight times if we wanted more coffee. The food is good, too. read more

Good food. Hamburger Bun too hard. Service good. Friendly, hardworking owners. Busy. Just a great family place. Ambience cozy.

So we went to a very beautiful church my wife and I like to visit in Libertyville. Our friends joined us there and after the maid we visited this restaurant for lunch. It's opened for breakfast and lunch . We were greeted at the door by a very sweet lady who might have been its owner. Our server was a young man named Armando very sweet and handsome he told us that he arrived 5 months ago from Venezuela and spoke to my surprise very good English, I asked him about it, and he said he learned it in the university there. The restaurant was very cozy and clean and it smelled very good from the foods cooked there. Once we settled into our table we ordered our foods which by the way was very tasty. My wife had the salmon with cream cheese and avocado, and although it was served with bread instead of the normal bagel, she said it was tasty. I had an avocado and chicken breast sandwich with fries. We both had salads as well. One of our friends had salad with fruits, and her wife had breakfast omelet with a hashbrown and bacon. We met Simon, an older gentleman who served coffee and was very polite from Mexico. I highly recommend this restaurant because of the good food and hospitality we will return next time we visit the church in Libertyville. read more

So attentive and professional. They have a cozy vibe with a Type A ambition. The wait staff is of the highest order of service.

The waiters and everyone who worked there was lovely. Service was a bit slow. We had 3 drinks, a breakfast burrito, a skillet, and a kids breakfast and the bill was $80 which seems kind of insane. It was also weird that breakfast cocktails didn't have prices next to them like the rest of the menu. My veggie skillet had a piece of ham in it which I didn't realize until I was chewing and something seemed off. As a vegetarian this was very upsetting. The ambiance was kind of "old people diner" if that makes any sense. I don't think we will be back. read more

Nice little place with a great veteran staff. The service was wonderful. The place was full of locals so I am sure I just need to try something else I would not say the biscuits and Gravy lived up to the reviews here. The biscuit was overly starchy. The gravy was pretty good but not amazing. Worth stopping back by to try something new. read more

We got here around 9-9:15 ish in the morning and got seated right away. By the time we left, there was a long line for a table. The restaurant as a diner vibe nothing special about the decors. Our server was friendly and got our drinks quickly. We got refills with our coffee and water pretty quickly. I ordered the bacado omelette and a side of the fruits and pancakes. I enjoyed the omelette since it has a nice amount of bacon but it needed some heat so I added some Tabasco sauce. Pancakes nice and fluffy. read more

Came to Liberty restaurant around 930am. Lots of parking and no wait. Inside was clean just looked like a normal diner. Service was good didn't wait to long for our food. I end up ordering The Piglet skillet with pancakes. Good amount of meat (bacon,sausage, ham). The food looked so good I forgot to take a picture till I have half done! We came at a good time by the time we were done the restaurant was full. All in all good breakfast spot! read more

We went today for lunch. We both ordered a grilled cheese, fries and side of soup. When our food arrived all that was on the plate was a grilled cheese sandwich. We asked the waiter where are the fries? Oh, those will be right up... just a bit of an annoying thing. We don't want fries after the main entree. We had already hesitated on going back after our last visit because we ordered omelettes that were not fully cooked. Doubtful we will return. read more

We order breakfast from here several times a month. All instructions are followed due to dietary restrictions. The owners are friendly, courteous, and helpful. We wish they were open for dinner as they were prior to Covid. read more

Talkative owner of a tired dark establishment which likely hasn't changed much in fifty years. My breakfast was 'ok'. Fried eggs over medium came with a crispy edge, hash browns which tasted like everything else which they cook on the same griddle and decent pancakes. Not much love in the presentation either.... Not even an orange slice. Fairly priced and you get what you pay for...... here it's all a little less then average. read more

So good! We are in from St. Louis and needed breakfast. Service amazing-food amazing! Definitely recommend!

I had the pleasure of getting to know George and his staff this past week. They served over 20 of us a wonderful breakfast. We all ordered what we wanted and not only was it delicious, but it arrived in a timely fashion. The wait staff was very attentive and genuinely sought to make our visit great. On top of that, George and team catered a wedding reception I attended. The food was phenomenal, the wait staff was attentive, and what was supposed to be hors d'oeuvres was enough food to qualify as a satisfying meal. I know the bridge and groom truly appreciated the wonderful experience, as did the guests. Thanks so much, George and team! read more

My family and I really enjoyed this place! It was our first time and we will definitely be back. I ordered the Cowboy skillet and with the first bite, I tasted the flavor. Even the pickiest one of the family really liked it after a bite. The grilled cheese was also very tasty, along with the good portion of fries. The Morning Glory omelette had the perfect blend of ingredients, with feta giving it the right touch. We also ordered chicken soup which wasn't exactly the chicken and rice taste we wanted but more like a clam chowder taste. Despite it all, the service was excellent and never failed to make sure we were taken care of. The ambiance was calm and cozy, which we really loved. The food was so good, I didn't even get a chance to take a picture! PSA: They have fresh orange juice!!! read more

Great breakfast foods and the berry yogurt with honey is outstanding. The service is excellent and could not be more friendly! The atmosphere is so Libertyville - charming plus. read more

I had a very unpleasant experience here yesterday. They are celebrating their 50th anniversary which is quite a feat in the restaurant business. They are offering customers prices each week starting with the 70s for a certain breakfast. At the cost of breakfast these days, I thought I'd try it. I only saw my waiter when he took my order, which was actually fine as it got busy and they come around with refills for coffee often. I could not get the waiter's attention to get my check, so I left a tip on the table, and went up to the register, and when he came near, I asked for my check. He quickly put something in, and I gave my charge to the surly blond woman I had observed earlier since my table faced that way. I noticed how she didn't smile or greet customers, and how she gestured to an elderly couple to stand back and wait while other customers paid. So I wasn't impressed. She quickly processed my card, and was whisking the copy away (apparently no receipt), when I said, "Just let me take a peek at that." I wanted to make sure of what I was being charged since I never got a check. Suddenly, she started lecturing me that I should tip on the original amount the meal would have cost, and how the owner was giving this discount...I was so taken aback. I immediately said, "I know that." She continued, and I said, "I used to own a restauant, I know." STILL she persisted (and not in a good way). I'm not sure what this woman was projecting onto me, but it had nothing to do with me or who I am, and since when does any restaurant lecture customers on how to tip? I finally got so exasperated, she obviously Isn't a good listener, that I said she was being obnoxious. Which she was. In all my years, I have never encountered such a bad attitude at a business. She ruined any goodwill of the owner regarding the anniversary celebration, intended, in part I am sure, to gain some new customers and to honor their "regulars.". I am so turned off I will not be returning. read more

This is your typical family restaurant, probably Greek owned, serving a wide selection of breakfast, lunch and dinner meals and snacks and is open Sun. to Wed. 6-3 and Thur. - Sat. 6-9. We were in the mood for soup and salad for lunch and knew this kind of diner would fit the bill and it did. The Lunch and Dinner Menu has everything from salads, sandwiches, and burgers to seafood, Italian and broiler dishes. My wife chose the Julienne salad ($15.00) and I selected the Cobb salad ($14.50). We could select any dressing from the usual and they were brought out on the side. Both were huge and either could have been split by two people. Looking at my pics, you'll see no shortage of all the good stuff on these salads. I particularly enjoyed the plentiful amount of blue cheese crumbles and thick bacon bits on my Cobb. The salad orders included a bowl of soup and the soups of the day today were chicken noodle and navy bean. We opted for the chicken noodle and it was delicious with thin noodles. A basket of crackers, breadsticks and butter came out with the soup. We saw many seniors dining and most brought home enough for another meal. They do offer cocktails, beer, wine and more. Parking is plentiful in their own lot. Once we were inside we realized we had been here before long ago and again, it was good. You will not be disappointed. read more

I was up yonder in the northland in Libertyville & met my sister at Liberty Restaurant. I ordered the Bacardo Omelet. The omelet was excellent w/avocado, 3 fluffy eggs, bacon, cheddar & jack cheese w/a dollop of Sour cream. This came w/a either hash browns or fruit (I chose the hash browns) & either pancake or toast (I'm not much of a pancake dude so I got British muffins). My sister ordered eggs Benedict. She said the bread was soggy and so it was, but having never ordered eggs Benedict before I guess I would have never known unless she said the bread was soggy. They were ok w/a lemony sauce. She got the fruit side which definitely wasn't very fresh. I guess she should have asked for a replacement dish of fruit. The wait staff and bus guy were spot on always taking away dirty dishes, keeping our coffee and water cups filled (5 stars) read more

THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN I HAVE HAD TO DATE. Fresh chicken well breaded tender and moist and cooked in clean oil with not side tastes an overused oil can get. I would have given it a five but my wife had Greek chicken it was very good but the gravy had an slightly odd taste. Might have been a lemon juice vs a fresh lemon which is her preference. The only note is the fried chicken has a bit too much SALT in the breading. read more

This is a true hidden gem! The fact it still runs the old school way where everyone even the owner is helping out. The food was amazing and the service was impeccable. Thank you Carmen and owner George for the hospitality. From the crab cake Benny to the crepe to the screwdrivers, no complaints from myself or my family. Update. Food was so good that I came back for my last meal in IL. Again, Carmen was awesome with her service. The corned beef & hash was delicious. read more

Great place to have breakfast, the food is good looks of selections. They were great we were a table of 12 with kids!

Been to ALOT of breakfast places including but not limited to Buttermilk, Wild berry and First Watch, but my breakfast this morning was ah-may-zing!! Light as air blueberry lemon pancakes with marscapone lemon drizzle and fresh blueberries and an amazing veggie skillet ...with plenty of leftovers for tomorrow....George, the owner and his wonderful staff couldn't be more accommodating and George even let me try his special pineapple and brown sugar pancake (delish BTW!) on the house. Usually we come here for a casual dinner but never a Sunday morning breakfast (the King of Clubs is a GREAT sandwich I haven't found anywhere else) and their martinis are outstanding....just as good as any steakhouse! read more

Very friendly people work here. They can make well done hash browns! Very good veggie scramble and omelet.

Came here for my birthday, not expecting anything but my favorite omelette, potato and pancakes with bottemless Diet Coke! It did not disappoint, and to top it off I was serenaded by a waitstaff, and a candle with 4 ice cream treats . My favorite Libertyville's breakfast spot has now become more dear to my heart! Not to mention the chicken dumpling soup is my friends favorite. read more

The food here is just average but the service was quick and friendly. The menu items look sound delicious but lacks a little flavor. The portion sizes are huge! Got the caramel apple pancakes. The texture was a little mushy. The caramel sauce did not really enhance anything. After adding syrup, the taste was fine. The sausage as a side could have used a little more seasoning. My husband had the bourbon skillet. He said the sausage was spicy but the hashbrowns could have been a little more crispy. Overall the food was average. Wasn't horrible but was not good enough to come back. read more

As soon as we walked in we were greeted respectfully and seated us. The waiter showed up with glasses of water first thing. I love that. All the waiters were very pleasant and attentive. It didn't take very long for us to get our food and oh man! Delicious!! Great presentation as well. Everyone has a job and they focus on that. The staff have uniforms, I find that professional. The whole dining experience was excellent. They didn't keep coming to the table interrupting, they just kept a close eye on us and when they saw a need, they were there. Great place! Highly recommend! I live in the next state but I've been back twice bringing new customers. Great job guys!! read more

Knocking a star off for having to wait quite a while for our food to be prepped and delivered to the table. And they didn't come around often enough with coffee refills. Yes, it was late Saturday morning, it was busy. But a 35 minute wait after ordering is kind of unacceptable. The waitress apologized, saying there was a large party that was getting served first. Anyway, the food is good. My dining companion and I couldn't decide between the Cajun skillet and the Dutch crepes, so we ordered both and split them. Glad we did. Both were very good. Big menu, lots to choose from. My bacon was crispy, just the way I ordered it. Toast was slightly burned, but still edible. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to dine here, but if I was in the neighborhood again, I would certainly give it another chance. read more

So average, eggs Benedict is what I had. The sauce was lemony was good but cut the smoothness of the butter. Canadian bacon was ok. The English muffin was so soggy . Added extra hollandaise sauce had lumps in it not sure what that was. Brought me hash browns instead of fruit. Waiter was nice he came back and brought me a portion of fruit that looked like it was very dried out. Didn't attempt to try it read more
