“Good classic diner with the same great quick diner service. I ran into some familiar faces and it made everything a little bit better. I'll be back again to have that texas skillet with the chili. That shits a hit and I'll make sure to bring some peppers or an habanero to bite!

“Elena didn’t just seat us at the Original Pancake House she personally ascended from the heavens, parted a sea of hungry tourists, and hand-delivered us into pancake paradise. Her hospitality is so magnificent it should be classified as a wonder of the ancient world. Give this woman a key to the city and a noble title immediately! 10/10, Elena deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for customer service.“

“We come here from a western Chicago suburb because the food has always, always been great. My husband loves the frog legs and I love the perch, the best perch I’ve ever eaten, truly. We came here on Thursday evening, a real spur-of-the-moment thing and weren’t disappointed. This time I ordered the walleye pike & found it delicious. Two big filets of it which I enjoyed thoroughly. My husband got the frog legs as usual; neither of us went away hungry & loved everything. It’s dismaying to hear that others have had bad service or less than excellent food; we have never had that experience in the last 15 years that we’ve come here. A terrific night out! Thanks, Teibelsj“

“Just wish they were back open until 9p“

“Place has always been great, food is very good. love The cabbage roll, or stuffed peppers Breakfast is also very good. the dressing for the Turkey dinner is outstanding. all is ild school not cookie cutter, like most places today.“

“I love amigo skillet and it is so orgasmic good and delicious. If owner is white she can cook like black chef! It is the winner!“

“This place was great before they closed,i dont know what happened but i wont be back.After waiting a little more then an hour on a not so busy saturday afternoon, and asking several times about our order,our waiter disappeared and we had to get the manager. She then brings our order herself and it was pathetic,un eatable. So she apoligized and we keft without eating and went to another restuarant. So after that i wouldnt go back,but i did and turns out they just had a bad day and i happened to be there for it. I'm glad i went back because they have always had good food and great prices and wonderful service and i was wrong to jump the gun on this,they are still good,one of the few in the county,i drive out of my way to dine here,its worth it!“

“The food is authentic as it gets. All the Polish food is made from scratch and the staff is incredible. Service is great and friendly. Absolutely give this place a try!!“

“I’ve been here twice now! The food is magnificent! The Senior Menu is awesome and the staff efficient and friendly!
10.00 senior menu for a 3 course meal! Outstanding! Do go if you haven’t yet! You won’t be disappointed.“

“Great food, my go to spot for breakfast! The half off breakfast deal is amazing. Food is always good but the other night the server Shannon, worse service I've ever had! I understand mistakes happen but I said clearly what I wanted and even pointed at it on the menu. Wrote the wrong thing on the paper and when I asked gave attitude whole time acting like a mistake cannot happen on her end.“

“Typical breakfast dinner. Place is clean. Service is good. Food is average - not bad, just not spectacular or anything out of the ordinary (some breakfast places go over and beyond with presentation, portions and seasoning). We have been coming here for years and the place is very consistent. Always good and fast service. Food is always exactly what you ordered and expected. Coffee could be a bit stronger...“

“Best Lemon Rice Soup!! Definitely one of my favorite lunch spots.“

“Haven't ate there in YEARS!!!!BUT did today and it was awesome....EVERYTHING we had was great, potato soup IS the best EVER!!!! Had that and breaded veal senior meal AND the beef hot plate senior meal and was awesome AND the service from the hostess, requested a specific seat/booth with the best lighting to see better and was accommodated with a smile and waitress was awesome!!! Definitely WILL be back again and often.“

“I’ve been coming here since I was 8yrs old and they used to have smoking sections in the dining areas. I love this diner. I’m the type of person that will try anything once but when I like something I will make it a usual. So the melting pot was a must get hangover meal after the horseshoe casino when this place was open 24hrs. They changed so much since Covid happened and that’s so unfortunate! I moved away and I still come back just for the hot fingers with extra ranch but they close after 9pm and you can’t dine in after 5pm, that’s so ridiculous now. I just know those hot fingers are carrying the whole joint on its back at this point! Since I can’t catch them during their new dine in hours I’ll have to read the reviews for whatever else is good.“
