6 Best Diners near Burnham

“I stumbled upon this hidden gem early on a Friday morning. They are located not to far from the Illinois/Indiana border on Torrence. They are open early for breakfast. The menu is full. I ordered the Chorizo skillet and it was well prepared spicy and full of fresh veggies and flavor. The coffee was mild and just right for a few morning cups.

I love the family style feel as the syrup was the official Mrs. Butterworth. I was not rushed and allowed to enjoy my breakfast and sip my coffee slow on a Friday morning before work! Great experience I will be back.“

“Always enjoy me a little Denny's stopping for the $6 deals(which always end up being $9 anyways LOL) last time I was there awesome service short staffed on the cooks the server explained it very well and was on her job of keeping the coffee flow ago.. 🤣throughout the warting phase...“

“I really wanted to love this place because I truly appreciate supporting a family owned business, and the atmosphere had that welcoming, hometown feel. The service was friendly, and you can tell this restaurant means a lot to the people who run it. Unfortunately, the food did not match the experience. Parts of the meal were overcooked and burnt (steak and pork chops), while other items (like the pancakes) were a tad undercooked. It seemed more like an issue with kitchen execution than the quality of ingredients.

I would absolutely come back if the cooking consistency improved, because this business has great potential and the kind of charm you want to support. Hoping they can make some adjustments in the kitchen this could easily be a local favorite with the right chef.“

“DeMars for lunch today, Reuben Platter so good! Is this Blue Island location the last DeMars standing? Love the old school diner experience and town of Blue Island so fabulous.“

“My family and I went to RTC Tuesday night, and it was awesome! Yes, the food was fabulous, we all had breakfast, and because it was after 8pm, it was half off! But that wasn’t the best part. The staff was genuinely kind and helpful! From the hostesses, to the manager, everyone was beyond wonderful. Our server, Megan, however was the icing on the cake! She was so sweet to my granddaughters, and treated us like we were long lost family members! Thank you all for making our Tuesday night extra special!“
