Garden View Family Restaurant lena il

My omelette was not spectacular but the pancake was delicious!

Poor service and mediocre food. 😢

Service was not good. Never got a chance to order food so can’t speak to price or food. When we walked in, we were greeted right away and told to have a seat anywhere. We sat at table 3. A group walked in about 5 minutes after us. They were given water and menus. We still hadn’t been helped. About 10 minutes after our arrival, another couple walked in and sat down. They were given menus and waters right away. We still hadn’t been helped. We walked out.

Moved to the area 5 years ago. Best place for breakfast I've found. Everything made perfectly. Very friendly staff. Awesome place. 👍

Very nice little restaurant. Great food and great service.

Had the garden omelette. Normally comes with American cheese but due to dietary restrictions, the chef was willing to make it with Swiss cheese instead which, I GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! The service was outstanding. Very friendly and courteous! I will be back!!!

The Bella that runs, the restaurant is a very nice man. He is very professional and respectful. The day we were there he had to run the entire restaurant by himself. The Cook was a no-show and the waitress for some other reason did not make it to work. That poor little fella did everything perfectly. He was jogging through the restaurant making sure our Wants and Needs were taken care of. He is a very hard worker. I asked him are you the owner of this establishment and he said yes. He told us about his mishaps with employees, but he said people are still hungry. We ordered the best sandwiches on the menu and they were wonderful. The fries were also good.

Good food

Me and the guys I ride with spend weekends seeking good places for breakfast, pie, and ice cream. I am not exaggerating when I say that the breakfast we had at the Garden View was the best I can remember ever having. The food was perfect and the waitress was very friendly and spot on. I highly recommend!

We waited awhile to get our food. The food was pretty good. The waitress was very sweet. The ladies bathroom was kind of disgusting.
