We always come for the steak and eggs. Skirt steak is excellent! Cooked how we like and tastes great.

This is a good breakfast spot I've been to 3 times now. I've had the eggs Benedict, burrito suizo, and healthy scrambler.
Only the eggs Benedict blew me away. The burrito looks delicious but is kinda bland. The scrambler was nothing better than what I could make at home.
My partner had oatmeal today and actually that was really good. She order crepes in the past that were good tasting too.
There are very few breakfast restaurants I feel are worth going to these days.

This was our first time here. The service was excellent, and we were seated right away. The food was prepared nicely, looked great, and was very nice. As you can see from my pictures, the omelette was huge. Like, ridiculously big. Please, add an option for a smaller portion to your menu. Furthermore, while the veggies in the omelette were great, they were too large; it would be nicer if they were cut into smaller pieces. Again, great place and we'll be back.

All categories 5 stars. The breakfast has always been good, I tried the lunch and it's great as well. The atmosphere always brings me back, it's relaxing to me to see all of the plants. The building is nestled in a beautiful section of the town and in the back room you can see the train going not too far out from the restaurant. The service so far has been unmatched.

I grew up in Glen Oaks, This restaurant has always felt more like a second home than a place to eat. From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re greeted not just with the comforting aroma of homemade soup and hearty meals, but with smiles that feel like family.
The food? Always warm, always fresh, always made with love. Their soups could cure any bad day, and the rest of the menu never misses — just good, honest cooking that feeds your body and your soul.
But what truly sets Glen Oaks apart is the heart behind it. The owner is one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet — someone who doesn’t just serve customers, but builds relationships. He remembers your name, your favorite order, even asks how your family’s doing. He walks table to table like a gracious host, making sure everyone feels seen, welcomed, and appreciated.
Glen Oaks is more than a restaurant — it’s a community table where kindness is served just as generously as the food. I’m endlessly grateful to have grown up with it, and I’ll keep coming back for years to come.
