Des Plaines Family Restaurant & Pancake House

Food wasn’t half as good as it normally is. The French toast was dry, not very eggy with no powdered sugar. Some of my diced potatoes were still hard in the middle

I’m in a wheelchair and these people were so amazingly friendly and helpful and made sure I had a convenient table for me to go and enjoy my breakfast with my friend. The service was phenomenal. The food was off the charts. I personally do not like pancakes and that’s just me, but I don’t know what it is about their pancakes, but we ordered them as part of our breakfast and they were so good. I had a ham omelette because I’ve always loved ham off the bone and I had the best hashbrowns and they always ask you whether or not you want them crispy, which is great because that’s the way I like them and both waitresses who have been there for years. I’ve been absolutely fantastic. Wonderful people great food. I’m so glad I don’t live far away because I’m going to regularly come here. My friend ordered the skirt steak, which was so tasty and her scrambled eggs were delicious everything the entire meal was so good. We spent so much time looking at the menu because you have so many choices for breakfast. It’s really difficult to pick which one they have so many delicious choices that’s why I’m going to have to go back and try each one that I had seen that I didn’t choose This particular visit. I really recommend it very much. It’s a great place and wonderful people and great food.

Dietary restrictions: I can’t eat butter and the waitress was so wonderful to let the chef know when I got my pancakes that I couldn’t have butter on them. They’re very attentative if you have a dietary restriction. Just tell them that that’s all and they’ll comply. It’s wonderful.

Wheelchair accessibility: I went in using my manual wheelchair and it was very easy to maneuver. There’s a ramp to get in the doors aren’t difficult to get in and it’s very easy to move around the restaurant. There are a lot of tables, but it’s very easy to get around on my manual wheelchair I absolutely zero problem maneuvering my around that entire restaurant. I highly recommend it.

Very local feel, straight forward food, nothing fancy, but taste great. We love it. Bathrooms are clean! Love that they play the radio in the restaurant. I always get their skillets and their simple breakfasts are always classic. Our daughter loves their Chocolate Chippy pancakes or Mickey mouse pancakes🥞 they're very good with asking if you'd like more coffee. Workers are always so friendly.
