Whitney's continues to be that small town diner in downtown Grayslake. Perfect for breakfast and lunch. Today we had the Quesadilla scramble with eggs and steak. Also a Savory Omelet with sausage, bacon, veggies and cheddar. Both were served hot and quickly and were really good and fresh. Our server was really good and always a smile. If you are looking for a very low-key, good food and enjoyable breakfast, you have to try Whitney. read more

The food was terrible after looking at the reviews I thought I will give it a try with my family. But to my surprise it turned out to be a disgusting presentation and bad testing quality food. read more

Service was okay but the kitchen looks dirty and unsanitary. I wouldn't eat here again

My dad works at Whitney street for like 9 or 8 years I love the service and l know everyone there

Cute little old timely diner. Lots of small little booths and a few tables, along with seats along the diner bar. Busy on a Saturday morning but we got in with only about a 5 min wait. We had good service, quick and kind waitress and hostess. The food was pretty good. Tonssss of menu options. We went with breakfast food. It's a cute spot, nothing too special about the food we had but it was good, big servings. I enjoyed my time here! read more

Great little diner in a small town. Is it the best breakfast in Lake County, no it's not, but is it good and for a good price, absolutely! The service is always good and the food its always tasty. The portions size are large and you shouldn't leave hungry. read more

Great Sunday buffet! Everything you'd want for breakfast and a salad or two for an early lunch/brunch!

Whitney street is a nice small little diner in downtown Grayslake. The favorite for my wife and I is the Sunday morning buffet.

First time here and we were in love with the quaint old-school type atmosphere. We were greeted right away and the entire staff was so friendly. I ordered the ham & cheese omelet with tomatoes, hash browns and pancakes and it was all very tasty. Hubby ordered the Whitney meat lovers skillet and he finished the whole thing. If you're looking for a small locally owned diner with great food, this is it! read more

Whitney Street has very good diner food. The portions are large and prices fair. Does the food stand out? No. Not in the foodie sense. However, it is a truly friendly place with that "everyone knows you name" vibe. The service is outstanding and it isn't crowded like Fred's. Personally I like their biscuits and gravey and my wife goes with the Athena omelet. It comes with a side if pancakes, and our kiddos always enjoy nabbing those. An honest review for an honest place. read more

I'm almost afraid to leave a good review, because they are so small, I don't want them to get too crowded. But, they are so great, they deserve the review. The food was homemade, hot, and very tasty. Two breakfasts with tip and tax was $25 and we walked out full and happy. All the employees were friendly and everyone made sure to didn't want for anything. All their menu items looked delicious and we will be back. There are a few booths and tables with chairs that could accommodate different size parties. There are also bar stools. It is very old and has a great family field. read more

Small little place, quality food at good prices. Daily specials and soup choices, delicious.

What a great place! My family of five went for breakfast yesterday and it was wonderful! Service was excellent; food was exceptional. The banana crepes were a hit! read more

Excellent food and reasonable prices. A true Grayslake icon. The soup with the meal is always amazing.

Fantastic breakfast spot! The Country Farm Omelette was huge and very good! The pancakes were light and fluffy! French Toast was delicious... bacon was perfect! The oatmeal was great as well. Prices are very, very reasonable. We look forward to trying Whitney Street for lunch soon! read more

Great food. We went for dinner... breakfast for dinner is always amazing. We had an issue with an order, but the owner came out and apologized. Cute set up. Small seating area. I've been on Sunday am and it is jammed! Hope they are able to survive the Covid pandemic! read more

Cute little restaurant situated right off the main drag in downtown Grayslake. I went here with a couple of friends a few days ago (they highly recommended it). I ordered the 3 egg w/ bacon, hash browns, chocolate pancakes and a side of oatmeal. Everything was delicious! This place has a very homely feel to it and the prices are very reasonable. Friendly staff. I will be back in the future :) read more

Their Biscuits and Gravy are amazing here, a little peppery, but it just adds to the flavor. Could eat it all day lol

I would definitely recommend Whitney Street! We ordered burgers and we were very satisfied. It has an old school diner feel. And the Manager and waitstaff were very welcoming. read more

Third time here, but this time we are here for brunch buffet. Good spot. Prices did go up from the last time we came.

My parents are visiting from Virginia, so we all went out for dinner. The first place we went to was packed so my husband found this place on Yelp. The owner and the other people working here are so nice. They greeted us as soon as we entered. Between the six of us, four adults and two kids, we packed away a ton of food and all of it was delicious. After I was sure I was stuffed the waitress came by and offered desert, saying it came with the meal. I got the apple raisin bread pudding and was very happy with it. The prices are unbelievable. Me, my husband, and our two kids ate for under $35. read more

Whitney Street - That was some good apple raisin bread pudding. - Diners Near Me - Grayslake, Illinois

Ordered the chunky corned beef hash. It was not corned beef hash. It was either a stir fry or a skillet. Wasn't very good and restaurant was unwilling to make it right. Used to frequent this restaurant regularly but that will no longer be the case. On a positive note the soup is usually good. read more

Great place. Brought back old memories. I didn't know an old time diner like this existed in Grayslake. Awesome breakfast. Try it, you'll like it! read more

Whitney Street is the local diner in Grayslake for me. In Grayslake you are either a Fred's Diner person or you go to Whitney's if you are looking for local conversation and a stack of pancakes. The breakfasts are classic diner fare with pancakes, waffles and a variety of omelets and grilled fare. The wait staff is friendly and if you want to know what is going on there is someone at the counter who will be talking about it with a morning paper in hand. We like the breakfasts, but they do serve lunch and have a room upstairs for events. read more

Good breakfast. Service was good and food was hot. Pancakes and omelets were very good.

Step thru the front door and you feel like you are in Mayberry--friendly, clean and throwback decor which makes you feel right at home. Food is good diner fare and a good value. The staff and owner are prompt, courteous and mindful in their customer service. If you only want fancy or trendy food establishments, you may not enjoy the cozy hospitality that Whitney offers. But if you want good eats without emptying your wallet, give Whitney a try. Step back in time to simple food and support local!! read more

First time here and it was great! Loved the diner setting, staff was friendly and attentive and the food was good. Ordered the French toast, eggs, sausage and crispy hash browns with onions and cheese. So good! Daughter had the crispy hash browns and biscuits and gravy. All was very good! read more

Worse restaurant I've been to. If you care about your health, you won't eat here.

I love this little breakfast spot. Just a charming little local hub for great food. The Athenian omelette is my fav on the menu! Loaded with feta and tomatoes and spinach :) Yum! Their waffles are great too, fresh and made to order, plus they are huge! They have a great little bar to eat at, perfect for when your solo and looking for a quick bite! The food is always piping hot coming out of the kitchen, and also the guys behind the line make the BEST salsa. I love to smother my omelettes with it. Sometimes it's got a real kick, and thats when it's the best! Always friendly, always inviting, always clean, and just a nice spot to have a nice breakfast ! read more

Great lace for breakfast! Our waitress was Debbie, and she's the friendliest, and greatest!

Classic old school diner. Staff is friendly, and they do a good job on breakfast in particular.

the perfect diner! you are seated quickly. service is impeccable. food is delicious and arrives so quickly. atmosphere is cozy with no unnecessary frills. they are usually playing oldies music quietly throughout but even when every table is taken you can have a comfortable conversation with whoever you are with. hope this place never changes! read more

I love this place. The food is fantastic. The Sunday brunch they have upstairs is delicious and affordable. But the best part of this place is the service. The owner makes every person that walks through the doors feel special. My daughter's love coming here partly because the owner calls them princess. Five stars for sure... great food, even better service! read more

I had not been to Whitney Street in quite awhile. The last few weeks we have been coming in for the Sunday brunch. Good omlette station. Not very fancy but good basic food. read more

Awsome breakfast diner. Needed a hearty breakfast and had the time to skip McD's. As soon as we walked in, I felt at home. This place is for me. Older and a little rough around the edges. I was surprised at the extensive menu. I didn't really need to look I knew what I wanted to try. I love my biscuits and gravy. I was not disappointed. I also cleaned up my daughters breakfast. Pancakes are yummy. The waitress flirted with me a little bit. I have to say it does increase my tip. A good waitress can never be too friendly. read more

The menu is simple and the food is good. Perhaps a bit of a greasy spoon type of place, but that is what I like. The wait staff is friendly and have no issues in adjusting the menu items to your needs. The restaurant itself is small and during the summer time, the front dinning area can be a bit warm due to the close proximity of the kitchen. The clientele is made up mostly of the local senior citizens and you can't help but overhear many of their conversations which at times are interesting. I've been here for both breakfast & lunch, but tend to go there more for breakfast. read more
