Loved this place. Sorry to hear it closed. Happy retirement to the owners ?

I absolutely love this place. Haven't had anything bad on the menu. The server is always friendly and personable. There's only a few of them. Even the cooks wave at us when we come in. It's such a great place.

My husband and I saw this restaurant on Trip Advisor. The ratings were good, so we made plans to drive to Algonquin and try it out. It was crowded when we got there, which we thought was a good sign. We were seated promptly by a hostess/cashier. Our server greeted us and was friendly. We ordered our food, and waited, and waited. When the food arrived it was cold and dried out. We told the server, and she informed the owner. When the owner came to our table we explained the problem. His response was “What do you want me to do about it?”. He also informed us that no one else had complained about the food. If I, as the customer, need to tell the owner what the proper response should be, then as a business owner he is clearly out of his element. His rude and gruff behavior must make this a toxic place to work. Obviously, I would not advise anyone to eat (or work) at this establishment.

Great food and staff but would like to be advised if you are going to charge $3 for each extra side of gravy for biscuits and gravy.

Whenever we visit the area my husband likes to visit the Rainbow Pancake House and Restaurant for their corned beef Benedict. The portion is sizable, the hash flavorful and the eggs poached perfectly. I had scrambled eggs, sausage links and fresh fruit, everything was delicious. Great stop for breakfast always!

It's been over seven years since my second review of Rainbow Restaurant so I thought I would add a little update as my "littles" are teens now and we recently went back for breakfast. We went on a Sunday morning and when I say I had been looking forward to going all week... well, that would be an understatement. We were seated right away and met our waitress soon after we were seated. She was fantastic! We all had coffee; my husband ordered a skillet, my 17 year-old son ordered pancakes with chocolate chips and my 15 year-old daughter and I ordered eggs Benedict. It was her first time having eggs Benedict and now she knows why I love it so much and almost always order it when I go out for breakfast. Everything was delicious. The teens and I only ate about half of our food and brought it home to eat later, it was still delicious reheated the next day. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about Rainbow and I can't wait to get back!
