    Interesting.
    Caveat E.

    Bottom Line: Family run diner that is worth a visit. Good food and service, but, bring a little extra cash. This place, in the heart of the charming Libertyville downtown, is run by a Greek family of which the matriarch, a lovely person, runs a very tight ship. The place has a certain quirky charm, a cross between traditional diner and touch of formal dining room with the somewhat ungainly, but at the same time, interesting, large, brass chandeliers making their presence known in the dining spaces. There's also lots of effort put into decorative arrangements in what would seem to be valuable table space (with items I really wonder how many people really buy, including some items you might find in a local market, with a very interesting mix of items, and again, wondering how many people really come there for items you can easily find elsewhere, but ok). It seems if customers were sat at the "decoration" tables, and a table or two were added, they could reduce wait times, crowding, and maybe even prices a bit with the additional revenue. We waited about 20 minutes for a table on a Sunday morning with several parties, all long time customers judging by how they were greeted which was charming in its own right. Waiting is crowded in a narrow entry hallway. Tip: Don't stand around the register waiting for your table or you'll have to deal with the owner making rounds to check on customers. When seated we were given some time to make decisions before being approached by our server. An assistant server brought coffee. When we did order some of our party asked about options but were promptly informed there are no substitutions without an additional charge--OK. I ordered the two-egg breakfast with ham off the bone. When it came out there were four eggs on the plate. I let our server know there may have been a mistake as I ordered two eggs not four. She pointed out that they double their egg orders so if you ordered one egg you actually get two, etc.! Wow! Talk about leaning into customer orientation! The meals were delicious and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Server attention was spot on--not too little, not too much, but just right. Then, the bill. Ok, with each plate nearing $20, breakfast will set you back a bit, which, I'm sorry, you have to question. The food was good but not $20 amazing in quality nor portion which is why this place will not be a regular but an on-the-radar back up every now and then. Nevertheless, overall, a positive experience.

    Sunny-Side Burger!  OMG it's Good!!!!!

    When you desire to take a trip back in time to a place where the owner of the restaurant greets you and welcomes you to their family restaurant, then you need to defy reality and enter Townee Square. It is simply an incredible experience and I am so grateful to be able to visit this special place. I feel a really strong sense of belonging, when I am there and it feels so good. It does a heart good to be there and soak up the atmosphere of community. Then there is the food! Where do I start... Ham that is so delicious that you wake up on Saturday morning and you're craving it! A Cheeseburger with a Sunny side up egg in it... WHAAAT? OMG, it's indescribably good! The service is fantastic, you have a Greek Owner named Christine, her Son George, and for excellent service " you better get Becka!" Emma crashes dishes better than anyone I have ever seen, Hannah and more! You need to visit this hidden Gem!

    Kids meal  - One egg over easy, bacon and (chocolate chips*) pancake (*for a surcharge).

    If you are looking for tasty, homey breakfast/ brunch food in a comfy setting then look no further. Townee Restaurant has you covered. Townee is a family owned and run restaurant that serves tasty, no-frills food that hits the spot. It's sort of an old fashioned diner looking restaurant that is family friendly and is usually busy during the peak breakfast/ brunch hours over the weekend. I have been here twice. Once prior to COVID and once recently, post COVID. Their prices have changed in that time period. The omelet prices, e.g., have gone up a couple of dollars. In my two visits, I have gotten the usual breakfast dish that I get at most breakfast/ brunch restaurants- omelet and pancakes. I also ordered a side of bacon for that extra savory crunch. I ordered a gyro omelet with jalapeños (adding jalapeños was an upcharge), fruits instead of hash browns and pancakes instead of a toast and a cup of coffee. My son ordered got a kids meal of one egg made overeasy with bacon and chocolate chips pancakes (chocolate chips had an upcharge). The restaurant was semi-busy. There were a couple of tables (for two) available and a booth was just about to open up. We opted for a table. Service was good overall (a bit slow at times where I had to get up and get our server's attention but it wasn't a big deal). The food was above average, solid in taste. Nothing fancy or gimmicky. Just your straightforward breakfast meal. It did its job and hit the spot. We are full and satisfied. The restaurant was clean and well-lit. It has a back and front entrance depending on where you park. The restaurant sells baked items like cookies and pies as well which you can find by their cashier's and kitchen table counters. Strictly based on food and its pricing, I would give this restaurant 3 stars. Overall (w/ service, atmosphere) 3.5 stars but rounding out to 4. Give them a try if you haven't been before.

    Definitely returned a few times already with multiple friends, this place is a breath of fresh air. Always welcoming. They owner/ manager is a sweet lady. I'm basically a regular now & I love it lol.

    Garden omelet, fruit, pancakes

    An excellent, uncrowned spot for breakfast and brunch. Good value for the money. It closes at 2pm, so make sure it's open when you want to go. Very adorable interior! It's very "classic diner", booths, counter stools, and all. They don't take reservations. The two of us came in at peak brunch hours on Saturday and were seated immediately. The place is bigger than it looks! The servers were very attentive, my coffee mug never stayed empty for longer than a minute. The menu had a lot of variety, you won't suffer from lack of choice here. I got the veggie omelet with egg whites, and it was delicious - any place that can do a broccoli omelet well is good in my book! My boyfriend got one of the skillets, and he finished the whole thing. Two meals and two drinks came out to about $35. You pay at the counter up front. We both left full and still had some food left over. We'll definitely be back!

    The great western omelet, pancakes, side of fruit and a cup of coffee, soooooo good.

    Dont get me wrong- it has GREAT meat/bun flavor to it- just too many little things that went wrong…read moreduring my visit (not staff fault! They were great and friendly and I did not mention or complain about the lack of customizations to them nor did I complain about the onions- i did not say a word when trying to figure out kikosk (or tablet whatever you call it) Kikosk ordering at the counter- It would not allow me to add sauce on side. There was no description of what it was so was confusing when ordered at first. The menu/kikosk doesnt say what kind of sauce- drives me crazy when there is no clear definition for people who are picky or cant have certain items in their food. My shake did not come with whipped cream unlike pictures or social media feeds. Fountain drink was flat to my disappointment so got refunded for that only and went with water. Clean taste. Burger has great potential but if they are not allowing us to customize it to our own preference it will fail in this location. Lack of toppings to my dismay- When I got my burger with the sauce cheese and grilled onions, it looked good at first glance. When I bit into the grilled onions it was not tender/soft it was like eating stringy rope with the burger yanking it out with my teeth . Sauce wasnt memoriable for me. Still have no idea what it consisted of even few days later. Again Bun/meat was delish driving me on eating the burger. Fries were ok- nothing to write home about. Not coming back though until they improve on some areas. This is too expensive for the mistakes/lack of customization/options for a picky person like me. If it was signifcantly less in cost I would have let it slide and bring home plain burgers and customize it at home. But this was a HUGE bucket list for me being open minded about what went on my burger (I usually ask for plain with certain toppings only) Best of luck to this establishment!

    The quest for a great burger is never-ending…read more There's a place for all kinds in burger world, and the iconic smash burger is a classic. If your doing it, do it right! Meat N Melt is doing it right. We had the smash burger combo with a shake and fries. The burger was good! Well seasoned and well cooked. I don't love shredded lettuce, makes things messier than they need to be, next time I'd remove that. Also, I'd like some tomato but it's not an option here. The fries are very crispy and stayed that way, but they got cold fast. Somehow they didn't hold their initial temperature well but they were great while still hot. I had the biscoff shake, love that option. Good flavor, and the combo is a nice value at just a 5 dollar up-charge. Really this place reminds me of Steak N Shake before the whole franchise went down hill, and looking at the name maybe that's what they're going for. There are some cons here. The place doesn't have any character, despite plenty of seating, so no real reason to do anything but take out. Also, it was freezing in there on this visit. Too cold to eat inside at all, and if your getting a shake you don't want to be that cold already. Self order pad... I wish they wouldn't do this. It's self pickup at the counter so there's no service. The menu is bare bones, which is fine, but it's odd that you can't get toppings they offer on loaded fries on your burger as well. Cross utilize those products guys! A few more topping options would make a big difference honestly. And just from a business perspective, you could use a kids meal. All in all I plan to return, when I feel like a smash burger this will be go-to for now. The mango shake and loaded fries are calling my name as well.

They fully embrace shopping local for their ingredients. The atmosphere is very friendly and relaxing. The interior gives a modern industrial feel. We especially liked the bartender, Brandon. Brandon very was good spirited, and his cocktails were phenomenal. He also gave us some tips on when the farmers markets take place and where to go for live music. Overall, the food was very well seasoned and packed with flavor. The chicken was moist and tender. Probably one of the best pieces of chicken I've ever had. The burger was also absolutely delicious.

Our server Chad explained the menu in detail, offered recommendations, and took great pride in the restaurant. Everything is made from scratch, and they have a beautiful open kitchen. We started with the octopus, which our friends and Chad both recommended, and it lived up to the hype. They sous vide it so it's super tender, then crisp it for that little crunch you want in an octopus appetizer. The romesco and chorizo combo had us scraping the plate clean. For dinner, my husband had the hanger steak served with a large bone filled with bone marrow, along with brioche, truffle butter, and the Aligot and Brussels sprouts for sides. The Brussels and butternut squash were sweet, spicy, crispy, and salty - just amazing. I had the monkfish, which is very similar to lobster, and it was delicious! For dessert, we shared the crème brûlée, and like everything else we ate tonight, we left no crumbs. We can't wait to go back!
