I gave 2 stars because the waitress was very kind and apologetic unlike George who did not apologize. My 14 ye old daughter sought out a diner after her visit to the urgent care. We happily ordered the chicken egg lemon rice soup. The soup was decent. Her and I both decided on breakfast. Her meal 2 eggs hash browns with pancakes. Pancakes were good. My order I guess was a bit too complicated for the place. I asked for gyro feta omelette MEAT well done with hash browns well down also. My omelette comes back eggs burnt. I was in complete shock . I tell the waitress I will not eat this meat well done is just that the meat only cooked well done. My food gets taken back by the super kind waitress and comes back this time with a fresh omelette and cold chunks of feta in the omelette. I regretfully didn't get a pic of my first omelette that was burnt but did if the chunks of feta. My daughter and I are eating our food and someone is standing aside our table literally staring at us not speaking. I chuckle a bit because of the long stare and say yes can I help you? The goes on about what's wrong with your food. I express I am not happy with the food or restaurant but I didn't ask for him to Ben called to the table. He says well I wouldn't be here if you were fine. I'm explaining to him about the burnt omelette and hash browns. Before I can go on about the cold feta he cuts me off to justify the term well done. I tell him George you come over to my table stare at us and then want to argue about well done and not listen to me. Cut me off before I finish speaking. He had a strong personality and continued to ask what's wrong with the omelette tell me I'll make it over. This would be theirs time. I was done with him and this restaurant after he rudely cut me off. I asked him to leave the table and let me and my daughter eat and I'll gladly give mine to a bum who will enjoy. My verdict on verdict restaurant is save you're money. Worst 28 dollars I've spent in a long time. read more

Not like I remembered. It's probably 20 years since I visited this restaurant. Wonderful chicken lemon rice soup. I salivated while waiting only to be sorely disappointed. No flavor except an overwhelming lemon taste. And this cup cost $3.49. Did not come with my meal. I ordered the California crepes. Also disappointing. No flavor even adding S&P and Chiluba. And wasn't just me. Equally long since my hubby was there. Had a crab salad sandwich with fries. The fries came "seasoned". Asked the waitress if they had any other fries. Nope and she didn't even offer an alternative even though there were 4 side choices when he ordered the fries. The service was also terrible. But I'll give them that since it was a busy Sunday. Nice menu and we were excited to add a new place to our repertoire. Not now. read more

So thank you so much for making my experience that much amazing! read more

The Verdict Restaurant is a small and cozy diner located off of County Farm road in Wheaton. Located just on the other side of the street from the large shopping center that is home to Target and Ultra Foods it might not be immediately visible to those passing by (I had never noticed it before) but is well worth keeping your eye open for. The inside is clean with a good amount of seating available, there's nothing particularly noteworthy about the decor. After walking in I was immediately greeted and seated, after looking over the menu I noticed that most of the items here are court themed (hence the name Verdict restaurant). I decided on a skillet called "The guilty" which contained cheese, ham, onions, sausage, and bacon. For a drink, I also decided on ordering the municipal building code violation also known as Cola (well, not really be it would be funny if they carried the naming convention scheme all the way). I chose pancakes instead of toast as the side. My waitress was friendly and courteous. Not too long after placing my order my food was ready. The skillet I received was nice and hot, the sausage and meat pieces were well cooked and flavorful. The big thing that made this skillet great was that the potato's at the bottom were nice and crisp. The eggs were spot on, and everything had just the right amount of seasoning. This was one of the better skillets I've come across. The pancakes here were fairly average but I did appreciate the thick and sweet maple syrup that came with it. Overall I was very happy with my meal. My general opinion of the verdict was very high, great service, great food at a fair price. I wouldn't say the food here is the best of breakfast places I've visited. But it's certainly in the top 3. I highly recommend Verdict Restaurant, the verdict is in and they're guilty of being a great place to stop for breakfast. Five stars, case closed *pounds gavel*. read more

The Verdict is my Wheaton go-to spot every time before I go to DuPage County Court. The Verdict is your typical Greek breakfast spot with all of the offerings that you would expect. I have been coming here for years and the same waitress serves me breakfast every time I have been here. I believe she has served my Father for at least 20 years or maybe even more. If you are hungry and love the legal theme then go to the Verdict. It is likely you will spot me here as it is pretty much my day of the week breakfast joint. All of their food is delicious and made quick and fresh. You can order, eat, pay, and leave in under 30 minutes which is essential when you are trying to make an early court call. Bonus points for being able to have breakfast with the majority of the judges on the bench and half of the lawyers in the area. The Verdict is great and you can't go wrong with this staple. It is simple, cheap, and good food with friendly staff. Check it out if you are in the Wheaton area. read more

Oh, Verdict, I'm never quite sure how I feel about you. While I'm glad to have a breakfast-all-day place so nearby, I've experienced surly service from you a time or two and just not been as pleased with your food as I feel I should have been. Many of your servers are lovely (one or two are not), but the person who who seems to own you can be grumpy and even rude. Tsk tsk. However, HOWEVER, you do have some of the best gluten free pancakes I've ever tasted (and I've tasted many), so I'll keep coming back regardless. read more

Verdict Restaurant - Gluten free pancakes, to go! One of the best around. - Greek Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

I am told this place is called the Verdict because there are courts nearby and the people who work at the courts eat here. This is a straight up diner. They don't try to do the highbrow four or five dollar coffees or they're not lowbrow like Denny's. I've had breakfast here twice and it is exactly as I expected. The clientele, besides the people who work at the courts, are old folks, moms and kids, etc. so just ordinary people. read more

Decent place for breakfast. Nothing too special but it's not bad. It's your typical breakfast/lunch spot. Their portions are good and the service is good. It's frequented by many of the lawyers that work across the street at the court house. I've had the eggs Benedict and the pancakes and both were good. I went there while I was in court one day and on a break I went for breakfast. I wouldn't make a special trip there but if you're in the area you'll get a decent meal. read more

Verdict Restaurant not only has absolutely delicious food, but and incredibly kind staff. When ordering one time, I told Anna how much my husband and son love their fries so if we could get a side of fries that would be great -- she added them in on her! Just wonderful people. Our favorites are: chicken souvlakia (might be spelling it wrong!), the Greek potatoes are delicious, the Florentine pasta, ham and cheese sandwich (son loves it!), and the Greek potatoes! Get extra Greek potatoes and thank me later. :) Thanks, Verdict Restaurant for being a regular spot for our family to enjoy delicious food!! read more

I was so excited to see The Verdict was open for outdoor and indoor seating. The have a great selection of healthy and delicious items on their menu including breakfast, lunch and entres. I was there for lunch with friends. I had their homemade sweet & sour cabbage soup and split a pita pocket with my friend. We could relax, catchup and see each other in person after 3 months. I also felt safe. The staff and us wore masks until we were seated. There restaurant is spacious and they arranged seating at safe distance. Service & food was excellent. Jennifer was our waitress. We had a great time at the Verdict. read more

The amount of food you get is staggering. The corned beef hash is homemade. The gravy for biscuits and gravy he is white gravy with a good amount of pepper. All in all five stars and the waitresses here are fantastic. These people move! I have never seen a better staff at a Greek restaurant. My fiancé and I just purchased a home in the area and we were looking for new restaurant to try. We just Yelp this this morning and I am thrilled to say this will be one of our favorites enjoy! read more

This was a first time at the Verdict and I was very pleased with my experience! The service I have to say was top-notch. We had Caitlin as a server and she came to the table right away, got drinks fast and took our order quickly. The food came out quick and it was delicious! I had a skillet and the portion was huge and tasty! Caitlin checked on us right away and was always there when we needed anything. I would definitely go back there again and request her for sure! read more

My family has eaten at The Verdict for over 15 years, and the food and service has always been fantastic!! George and Anna are so kind and they always ask how our day is going and make sure our food is always prepared the way we like it! I come for lunch with another teacher a few times a week, and they always make sure we are in and out in less than 40 minutes because they know we need to be back at school quickly. Great food and service every time! This is by far one of the best restaurants in town, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fantastic breakfast or lunch! The owners and their waitresses are amazing people, and we are so thankful for their wonderful service and food each week! read more

As a person that really likes diners. This diner really seems like they have down-home cooking. The lemon cream of chicken and rice soup is definitely a favorite of mine, as well as the omelettes that they offer. This is definitely a good choice for Breakfast and lunch. read more

Excellent "Greek joint". They have so many options and have breakfast all day. My favorite part was there were tons of gluten free options. Their specials for the day had pumpkin pancakes/waffles and cinnamon pancakes/waffles. This sounded really good, so I asked if it was offered as gluten free. The owner said absolutely and they made a separate batter for me. The pancakes were so delicious and very filling. I will definitely be back when I am in town again. I also appreciated that the owner approached me at the end of the meal to see how the gluten free pancake was. He also told me that the reason he had so many gluten free options was his wife couldn't eat gluten either. So definitely give them a try if you want some great gluten free options! read more

I have been going to the Verdict for several years. Since the shelter at home and the COVID I hadn't been there in a while. I was going to join some friends and wanted to bring lunch. I ordered a large (at least 4-5 serving) of a chopped salad with chicken to go. It was outstanding and very reasonable. All 5 of us were raving about the freshness of the lettuce, the texture of the chicken, and it was loaded with avocados, fresh tomatoes and blue cheese, bacon and it was so good! It also came with great dressing, fresh bread and butter. WOW, I will go back! read more

This is a popular typical Greek restaurant. Lots of people for the noon time rush, yet the service was quick and friendly. Usually in this type of establishment, I'm immediately ordering breakfast - Pavlovian response I guess - and this time was no different. However, there were some tempting options so I got something different from the usual. The Sunrise Burrito has eggs, jalapeños, (chorizo but I declined that) green peppers, onions, cheese and tomatoes rolled up in a flour tortilla, sour cream and salsa on the side. It was mildly spicy and delicious, a nice change for me. The menu is vast so there's no reason to get "the usual" but I'm sure they would do that well. I liked it. read more

This is hands down my favorite restaurant to go to in the Wheaton, IL area. Aside from awesome food, the owners and staff are like family. If you're a big fan of rice pudding and eclairs, the owner makes them himself and both are delicious. This is a must stop!! read more

We happened to be in Wheaton, and we decided to eat at The Verdict.I swear it was the best breakfast I had in years The staff was super friendly. We had the pleasure of having Christen for our waitress. We told her we were first timers. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. She explained everything was truly homemade right on the premises. The menu was extensive, with choices of egg entrees, wraps,soup, and salads. I opted for the corn beef hash skillet. It arrived smoldering hot, and delicious. My husband had scrambled eggs with ham off the bone,and pancakes instead of toast. The pancakes were HUGE, a meal in themselves.Neither of us could finish our breakfast. The coffee was delicious and served in a very large mug. When we finished Christen told us all about the desserts, and how people order whole pies to take home for Thanksgiving. This little restaurant located in a strip mall, is definitely a GEM. My verdict would be this place is truly a winner. As we were leaving the owner asked us to please come back the next time we are in the area. Such great food,atmosphere, and value for the price. read more

Please bring back the old saganki!!! The new one isn't bad but the old one was the best saganki we've ever had!!

The Verdict is an absolute gem of a place. I went to The Verdict with a very large group (about 15 or so) approximately 30 minutes before they closed. Working in food service myself, I know that breaks every rule in the book, and I begged my group not to go in for the sake of the staff's sanity. But alas, my opinion was squandered by my hungry friends. We barged in and were immediately sat by the staff. We ordered lots, and lots of food. By the time our food arrived, the restaurant had technically already closed. Even with every right to be annoyed, the staff treated us like we were their first customers of the day. Our waitress was incredible - so friendly and cracking jokes throughout our entire time there (and we weren't making it easy for her). The quality of our food was in no way compromised - each and every item was truly delicious and the portions were generous and affordable. They even brought us some amazing homemade bread. Eating at this place would have been a fantastic experience no matter what the time. But given that we not only stayed past closing time, but also brought a huge group, this restaurant deserves any and all accolades. Thank you, The Verdict, for giving up your time for us and for creating a wonderful memory! We will be back! read more

I've been to the Verdict on multiple occasions, but I feel like it's time to update my previous (2009) review. I love breakfast foods, and the Verdict does have very good breakfast, but I had eggs earlier in the day, and since it was dinner time, I decided to go with their dinner fare, specifically a Grecian dish. After debating between a few things, I decided on the Slouvaki Chicken Platter. It comes with a choice of beef or chicken, and I went double bird. There's a picture of the dish on their menu, so I was swayed by that. The meal also comes with soup or small greek salad, their house rice, potato, veggies, a mini loaf of their homemade bread, and a complimentary dessert (jello, rice/chocolate/tapioca pudding, fruit, or ice cream. Since I was a to go order, the ice cream wasn't an option. Also, I ordered double veggies instead of the potato. I'm not quite sure if I got double veggies (no pic, sorry), but I did get rice and a serviing of veggies in my tray. As for my soup, I went with the roasted red pepper, which is a common soup in their rotation (check site for daily soups). For dessert, I opted for the chocolate pudding. I really want to give the Verdict a 5 star rating... Food and the prices are right, but there's always a small issue with my experience. This time, when going through our to go orders (there were just 2; a coworker and myself), they forgot my pudding! I was really looking forward to it too. As for the rest of my meal... YUM! The chicken kebobs were actually my least favorite part of the meal. They were good, but nothing really stood out. They were skewered with red onion and peppers, but the chicken really had no outstanding flavor. Besides the chicken, everything else was excellent. The yellow rice had a slight butter flavor and pieces of carrots in it. The veggies featured green beans, broccoli, and carrots. They weren't wilted at all which was very surprising! The homemade bread was super good. About as big as an italian beef roll, the light brown roll tasted amazing by itself, with butter, and in the red pepper soup. The soup was my favorite part of the meal. Not sure what exactly is in the soup, but I will definitely be ordering again. No chunky veggies and not too heavy; not sure if it was completely cream or broth based. In the end, I actually did call back and pick up my pudding. I was also given a complimentary eclair. The custard inside the eclair was amazing! All in all, the Verdict is a great place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

I wanted to see bars on the windows, FBI ten most wanted posters on the wall and maybe the host/hostess could dress in a Judge's robe complete with a gavel. That's just me being cheesy. I did appreciate how some of the menu items had "law enforcement" names. Like "The Innocent" basically a veggie skillet, followed by "The Guilty" a meat filled skillet. How could you not love a diner called "Verdict Restaurant" just down the road from the DuPage County Courthouse. A clean, tidy and family friendly spot. It was a nice stop after some shopping in the area. Friendly service from beginning to end and a HUGE breakfast menu. Me and my friend had lingered long enough to see that they offer either the breakfast or lunch menu after 1130. Lingered--yes, we didn't feel rushed or pressured to leave. Once we had our breakfast dishes cleared, our server still asked me if I wanted a refill of my coffee. I opted for the veggie egg white omelet, it came with a choice of hasbrowns or fruit and then either toast or pancakes. I just wanted the hashbrowns and fruit and they were fine with my request. The egg white omelet was great. The veggies were fresh and not overcooked and the omelet itself was not watery--which sometimes happens with lots of veggies. The omelet wasn't greasy either--another big plus. The fruit (melons and grapes) was very fresh, but the hashbrowns were just meh. The coffee is piping hot, but not as strong as I'd like. The verdict? I'm guilty...of liking Verdict Restaurant! read more

So, a restaurant near the DuPage County Courthouse called the Verdict? Cheesy! But so am I, so I figured that I must try it. Breakfast all day long? Loving it already. Cuz, let's face it, when we're getting on I-290 at 7 a.m. in order to be in court by 8:30 a.m., this chica doesn't often have time for breakfast. When we're done late morning (sometimes early afternoon), I am still in need of some sort of eggs. Skillets? Yessir, they got 'em. Cute names too. The "Innocent" = veggies and cheese (right up my alley) and the "Guilty" = lots of meat. Very clean inside, very 80s diner feeling. Friendly and prompt service. My coffee cup was never more than half empty and there was a pitcher for water on our table. Food came out super-fast and hot. Perhaps I've gotten spoiled, but it was no Omega. However, it's very convenient, fast and gives me my "egg" fix when I'm in dire need. AND NOW FOR THE CHEESY PART... The Verdict? Not quite innocent, not quite guilty...guess that means it's a hung jury which means I have to declare a mistrial and return for another go. read more

I was torn on 3 or 4 stars. The reason for 3 would be my food came out 10-15 minutes before my husbands. The 4 would be the customer service. We had a really good attentive server other than the food mishap but she made it right with a dessert on her. I chose the potato soup and was happy with that. It tasted homemade with lots of flavor. My husband got chicken noodle soup which was a bit bland. It was definitely homemade but we didn't really like the flavor. It wasn't bad we just didn't care for it. The bread comes out in a full loaf and was a bit on the dry side but definitely fresh and homemade. They serve it with some garlic butter that does nothing for the bread. Just use the table butter that is prepackaged. The garlic ruins it as the bread has more of a sweet flavor imo. The cheeseburger quesadilla was good. Exactly what you expected. We got the veggies on the side. They are both abbot greasy so beware. The fried were good. The steak and peppers was really good and flavorful. Reminded us of Swiss steak which we like. We noticed some ladies at another table brought their own to go boxes. Smart, as my leftovers leaked on the way home but thankfully into the bag! We ordered the eclair for dessert. Wow! Delicious and the filling tastes like homemade pudding!! Yummmmmm!!! We will swing by here again someday!! Check it out if your in the area. We thought the service was really good. This is a nice, small family oriented establishment and not a chain. read more

Was I having lunch with a lawyer? Yes Am I a lawyer? No Was I dressed like a lawyer? Fortunately, yes. It's a good thing too: for a second I thought some sort of surveillance camera, with the ability to detect barristers from non, would sound off when I entered the place. Fear not, this little diner is a charming cross between a Ma and Pa kitchen, a bank, a law library, a conference room, and a judge's chamber. From the lighting, to the clientele rolling in after court session down the road, to the art work, to the "supreme court-like columns" it has atmosphere. It also has very good service and very good food! We managed a 2-seater booth for lunch and I really enjoyed my spinach feta pie. Great flavor and it came with a nice portion of fresh, fresh fruit. My friend had one of their lunch/dinner specials: artichoke and chicken linguine. I grabbed a taste; also very good. There were also about 4-5 different types of fresh soup, as well as 5-10 types of desserts; carrot cake looked good, as did the homemade apple pie. From the tons of stacked up "to go" containers, I suspect that is a massive additional draw here at The Verdict. I mean, do lawyers really have time for lunch? Should they have time for lunch? I don't think Tom Cruise ever had time for more than a sandwich, but every firm seems to be different. My verdict on this place: I'm definitely a fan! read more

One Yelp review for The Verdict in 2006, none in '07 or '08, now three in '09. Does that mean this place is getting hot? No. But it does deserve a few reviews, even if all of the others are 3 stars. The Verdict is a great alternative to fast food. It's a traditional Greek-owned diner. HUGE portions. Giant menu. 4-5 specials of the day each day. For a late dinner, I went for the BBQ pork chops, with soup, baked potato, vegetables, and my choice of any dessert in the display case. We brought two of my three pork chops home as leftovers, which made dinner for the two of us a few nights later. My soup was excellent, the pork chops and baked potato were delicious, and the piece of cherry pie I picked out was gigantic. (Note I said nothing about the taste of the cherry pie.) The place is large and clean, the service is great, and the prices are very reasonable. It's everything a diner should be. If you're on Roosevelt Road west of Wheaton, going to or from Central DuPage Hospital or the DuPage County Judicial Center, this is your best alternative for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a late dinner. Just skip the cherry pie and go for one of the cakes. Or the Greek pastries. read more

Good, solid Greek diner with great service, food, portions and prices. They even have oversized coffee mugs. Plus, it's called the Verdict since it's by the Wheaton courthouse and I love cheesy names. Hands down, they have the best breakfast in the area. Hashbrowns are crispy on the outside and tender and buttery on the inside. And, if you don't want to be a fattie and have the fruit instead of hashbrowns, they give you a very nice portion of super fresh fruit. Usually places that offer fruit as a sub give you a measly wedge of overripe cantaloupe! Not here. They have a ton of different benedicts to choose from including a smoked salmon option and it's under $10. Hello screaming deal! Their version with spinach is also delish. And, they have the BEST bacon in the world. I am not kidding. You get 4 pieces of the thickest and tastiest bacon and it's cooked just right so it's crispy and chewy at the same time. At lunch, you can't go wrong with one of their melts. I like the turkey one on rye. Their rye bread slices are humungous and they use real turkey not the slimey deli kind. With lunch or dinner, you also get your choice of soup. I've had several and all were very, very good with the chicken, rice, lemon being my favorite. The staff including bus boys have been here for years. This tells me the owners are good and treat their employees with respect. I really appreciate that. Ya, this place is a favorite of ours in the Wheaton area. Whatever we order it always hits the spot. Love it. Now go there and you will love it too! read more

Still seeking out new places to try in the area, we stumbled upon Verdict for breakfast one morning... So what the verdict?! See what I did there? I ordered a full order of Country Biscuits and Gravy with 2 eggs and hashbrowns... Seemingly a boring start to the day... But I love sausage gravy! Grew up on it! I judge restaurants on it! And this one is pretty darn good! They even did a nice job of cooking my eggs to an over medium. So many places over or under cook eggs! The boy ordered the Potato Pancake Combo with 2 eggs scrambled with cheese, 1 sausage link, 2 pieces of bacon, and 2 cakes. These were like no potato pancakes we've ever had! They were larger and served as the main part of the dish. They were fluffy like a regular pancake. They were delicious! The server was very nice and kept our drinks filled. We will be back again for breakfast some time! read more

I would say the food was bad, but we left before even ordering. I always love it when a snotty waitress tries to take me to school for having the overwhelming audacity to bring a cup of coffee in from Dunkin Donuts next door. I think her exact words were "i'll let this happen this time". Well, there wont be a next time. PS, to the owner who I've spoken with before and seems to be a very nice lady, your waitress is rude and its bad business to sacrifice a $25 ticket at the expense of a $.60 cup of coffee. read more

Gotta say I'm at that courthouse a few times a year BUT the one thing I do is make sure I have breakfast here every chance I can Amazing waitresses and the pork sausage links may be the best I've ever had (and I've had breakfast all over the world) The 3eggs with side is incredible Also really good eggs benedict (try with the salmon) I like the hash browns with hot sauce and one of the young ladies knows somebody that produces a local sauce that is great Please try it Never been here past noon but if you're in the area give it a try read more

I have to say this this review is YEARS in the making. I have been frequenting The Verdict for as long as I can remember. My Grandparents used to drive to The Verdict what seemed like every weekend. My Grandpa knew all the waitresses, knew the menu back and forth and was in love with this place. I have NEVER had bad service at The Verdict. That's a feat to say nowadays, and I hope that everyone else can keep that experience too. The service is always friendly, prompt and the servers typically have a great sense of humor as well! Oh, and the food is amazing as well! read more

I've frolicked around the Carol Stream/Wheaton area for several years now and NEVER heard of The Verdict Restaurant until a friend of mine (who lives in the north suburbs and comes out this way for work periodically) suggested we meet up there after they were done at the county courthouse. WONDERFUL! FABULOUS! TASTY! I couldn't inhale my food fast enough! Seriously! Rarely do I ever eat so quickly, but both times I've been there I inhaled my food because it was so tasty. Besides their breakfast foods and their great prices, when I say I want hash brown "extra crispy" they know exactly what I mean. Both times I've been here the services was perfect. As Misty S. said, "attentive but not overbearing." I'm sad that I discovered this hidden gem just as I was leaving the area. I'll have to stop by when I'm in the neighborhood. read more

I don't get here as often as I would like. Now that we've moved to Bartlett though, it's pretty close. As of last night, the Verdict is officially going into our the rotation. We met a couple of friends for a casual dinner and left happy and full. Success! I had the $9.99 Gyros Platter - a giant plate of gyros, onion rings (instead of fries), yummy chicken noodle soup and homemade bread with garlic butter. Normally, I think this comes with a scoop of ice cream, pudding, rice pudding or jello, but our waitress didn't say anything about it and I was so full that it didn't matter. Quite the deal if you ask me. My friend had some basted eggs, bagels, etc. - normal breakfast foods that must have been cooked right (otherwise she wouldn't have eaten them). Our kids both had chocolate chip pancakes, sausage, bacon and hot chocolate. It's a clean restaurant with a nice staff. Easy to find. Open when I'm hungry. It's a great go-to for any meal of the day! Trust me, we will be having more meals here soon. read more
