I have had wonderful meals at this restaurant. Their omelets are the largest and fluffiest I have ever seen. Service is prompt and friendly. Their catering food is very good as well. Give this local restaurant a try, especially on Friday evening and anytime for breakfasts!
We ate here once and were so dissatisfied we've never returned. They always appear busy so perhaps they've changed since when we ate there in 2010. When we went the food choices were not spectacular, they did not offer free refills and we had horrible service. The food that we did end up choosing was not the best tasting either. I believe my MIL has returned since then without problems but I probably wont ever return.
My family has been coming here for years. The owner and staff are great and the breakfast is always consistent and hearty. On Fridays they have several fish specials and they are very good as well. It can get a little crowded at times but the wait time is usually short, if you have a large group call ahead so they can accommodate.
We've been here a few times for breakfast and really enjoyed it! Great service, big menu, huge portions. No, it's not health food, and it's not gourmet. But if you're looking for a giant, meaty skillet, this is the place! The Fox River Trail is right across the street, so you can work off the calories afterwards.
We've been here 3 times to give it a chance - the burgers were overcooked as was the chicken (so dry we couldn't gag it down). The vegetable choices are lacking and again, overcooked to the point of being mushy.
The service is great here - the front part of the restaurant is clean; however, the building is old.
I think it comes down to being careful as to what you order - I'd definitely stay away from the chicken dishes. If you are looking for a fat-filled, starchy meal instead of a healthy lean one, go here. The prices are moderate.
Me and my fiance come here at least once a week. The Montgomery burger is absolutely amazing and easily the best burger around. It's the type of place you go to when you've got some time to sit and visit. If you expect the in-and-out service that you get at pretty much every chain restaurant you will be disappointed. It's a great little place and I highly recommend the food!
