    Yummy breakfast. I always like to try something different when I go out. I had the stuffed French toast with strawberries and banana. It was very filling so I am bringing some home. The Carmel latte was also good. Our waitress Maria was really nice and checked in with us . The ambiance is casual / traditional family style breakfast restaurant.

    Under cooked patty melt
    Stu F.

    It's been 39 years since my last visit. This location has always done great business for breakfast and closes after lunch. My granddaughter wanted pancakes today and the location was perfect to stop in. Not much in the area for pancake house. Clientele has definitely changed with about 90% of the patrons being Hispanic. I was quite surprised at that change. My wife and I ordered patty melts as it was lunch time, and my granddaughter got her pancakes. We asked for medium which is more well done than I normally order my beef because otherwise this sandwich can become greasy between the onions and red meat. Thankfully ordering medium was placed, because they came out medium rare and greasy. I can imagine how greasy and undercooked that would have been if I had asked for medium rare. Both sandwiches were undercooked and greasy. The child's silver dollar pancakes did look good. Fries and sweet potato fries were terrible If I came back here it would be only for breakfast but that won't be anytime soon Drive the extra 10min and go to Chuck Wagon. Always a winner

    Buttermilk pancakes with strawberries!

    He started us right off with a glass of ice water, which was refreshing! Then we come to find out that the chicken noodle soup is printed on the menu yet they don't serve it every day, bummer! There's flies in the dining room going around from table to table. The hot chocolate looks delicious! We have had sweet potatoe fries that taste and are cooked better. The strawberry pancakes were fluffy and flavorful! The service was attentive and friendly.

    Excellent service, comfortable seating. The restaurant may not look like much from the outside, but the inside is bright and clean, with plenty of booth and table seating. Sizeable portions - most meals come with a choice of toast or pancakes, with the option of upgrading to specialty pancakes for an extra $3. You can see from my photos that the side of pancakes huge - two big, fluffy pancakes! Orange juice is fresh squeezed in house. My latte was good. Coffee was ok, but bottomless with the option of getting a to-go cup too. Pricing seemed a little weird on a couple items - the apple pancake is a whopping $27 for example; we didn't order it. Overall, I had a great experience, and would definitely come back when I'm in the area.

    Higher end diner experience. Great service, fast food prep, solid variety. Ambiance is very diner and parking appears limited but don't let that stop you from trying it

    Yes, I was fooled by the filled parking lot, the wait for brunch was short. Staff was friendly, helpful, diligent, knowledgeable and kept their word for the wait time. Ingrid was exceptionally kind and polite. Her service was excellent. Nice menu selections to enjoy! Classic diner with farmhouse decor, including cabinet doors like barndoors. made for a comfortable meal. Fresh juices and more to complement your meal. It did not disappoint!! Thank you!

    Great breakfast spot! The place is fairly large just as the amount of food is large. You probably won't leave hungry! The quality of the food is top notch and so is the service. A must try if in the northern suburbs of Chicago!

    Stopped in here for breakfast this morning. Service was quick and friendly. All our food was delicious and plentiful. I shared the california omelette with my mom (we couldnt finish it). My brother got the corned beef hash bene and it was delish- eggs poached perfectly and my mom's husband got the 2 eggs and biscuits and gravy. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

    Best waitress EVER!

    Best dang waitress in the state of Illinois! Bar none! Excellent food, friendly staff. Staff knows their menu inside and out. Neat and clean. Kudos to the owner for hiring a wonderful staff!!!

    Rick V.

    1st time eating here and had a great experience! Very nice restaurant inside with plenty of room to sit. Our waitress was great and friendly, with timely service. The corned beef hash skillet was amazing, with homemade ingredients. It makes my top 5 breakfast of all time! Will be back.

    HOMEMADE BANANA BREAD FRENCH TOAST
    Dewayne E.

    This place is just amazing!!! The food, the service all just amazing. I now see why you are so busy. Our server found out there was a birthday at the table and gathered everyone to sang The Point's version of the Birthday Song. Overall a very great experience and I will be back.

First, I don't know how many times we circled around to find the entrance until we realized we have to go through the gift shop to get in. Second, the menu was very limited. There wasn't really anything appetizing but since we're already there, we just ordered whatever from the menu. We got two steak entrees, a fish and fries, another item I can't remember. Yeah that's how bad the experience was. As expected, nobody enjoyed it. No one finished any of the entrees. There's no condiments available in the tables. I wanted catsup for my friends but we didn't know where the server was. There was only one other customer in the restaurant so it wasn't busy at all. We spent over $100 here for a meal we didn't enjoy. Never again.....

The food is still delicious! I always get breakfast and this time I ordered the Grandma plate, which was awesome. You can see my pictures below. The only reason I didn't give a full 5 stars is because our server was unusually sassy and we could tell she was using a passive aggressive tone to share her displeasure of us asking questions. We still tipped, but not our usual. The kids all bought toys from the store and we left with great memories! The vibe is comfortable and we will be back. It's the closest one to our house... 45 min away.

I informed the waitress and she said "it's syrup, we've been busy". They could've cleaned that up prior to seating us and there's no telling how many other parties sat there previously with that mess. I received my meal and the eggs were undercooked. I explained this to the waiter and the manager offered a 25% discount. Although my pancake and French toast was decent, the food was terrible, I would not go back to this specific establishment. The waitress seemed as if she did not want to be at work and did not appear friendly. Maybe the other locations are better in the area. Good luck.
