Family Restaurants near Elmhurst, IL

“I came upon this café with my boyfriend a while back and I have to say, its the perfect mom and pop breakfast/lunch café. Located in a quiet quaint strip with ample parking. During the summer they even offer outdoor seating to those that would choose. Mimi is always on top of her customer care and knowledge of the menu. You will never have an empty coffee cup and you will always leave in a better mood because of her warm and bubbly personality. That kind of positivity is contagious! Even on slightly busy days, Mimi and her staff work very hard to learn their customers and welcome them back like family. Its very enjoyable observing how warm the staff is to nrw and returning cutomers. This is my favorite breakfast nook now and I know it will be for you too if you truly appreciate a family home-cooked atmosphere <3“

“Everything you could want on their menu trust me“

“The chili is good. Entered into a chili competition at work and really didnt feel like cooking. Purchased 4 quarts of chili and told my co-workers how I slaved over making this chili, putting just the right spices in to give it its unique taste. Everyone loved it! I lost 1st place by two points, probably because the judge can't add, but whatever. And yes, those are hotdogs in the picture. We made chili dogs. Their cream of chicken soup is good too.“

“First time at Lola’s, first off holy cow they were busy however the staff did an amazing job! The service was on point taking into consideration that they were slammed the whole time we were there. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a good dining experience.“

“Friendly staff and delicious fresh food. Thanks for all the great service. Surprised us with a delicious browned blueberry muffin with banana and whipped cream on my hubby's bday. Loved it!“

“Feels like your own grandma's diner. Food is delicious-hot and fresh and great portions. Food was quick even on a busy Sunday brunch period. Everyone from the hostess to the cleaning team is extremely friendly and helpful. Great family environment for breakfast/lunch. Have had great experience on multiple visits. My kids love it as well.“

“Corby was a wonderful waitress. She served me a beautiful waffle. Highly recommend her as a server. Very friendly and delicious food!“

“I absolutely love this place. The portions are big and the flavor is even bigger. If your looking for amazing food with good pricing and large portions this is your spot. The only thing I can slightly complain about is service and the fact the waiter wasn't very happy and clearly expressed her emotional displeasure. I understand there was probably a personal reason behind this and everyone has bad days so im not going to hold that against her. The food the quality and basically everything else was so amazing I would still give this place a 10 star review even if it had the worst service ever.“

“Excellent food and friendly staff will come back again“

“We love this little neighborhood gem!!! Jackie is the best waitress we've ever had there... maybe one of the best we have ever had since moving to Chicago almost three years ago!!!“

“Won't be back and certainly Do not recommend. whatever you do, don't order a meal that includes stuffing. stuffing was the consistency of oatmeal. mushy and had something that resembled mini grapes?? I honestly don't know what that ingredient was. never in my life have I seen that. waitress didn't know what it was either. Waitress asked if I wanted something else instead of the stuffing, but came back and said they wouldn't exchange the side dish. Within 45 min, we both have upset stomachs and bathroom issues.“

Michelle is amazing and does her job as if she is two people, idk how, but she makes it happen!“
