50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Oak Forest

“I come here once a week. I normally get 2 bowls of soup and my boyfriend gets 1 in addition to the other food we get. Today I wasn’t feeling well and wanted to get our soup to go. They wouldn’t sell us more than 2 cups of soup. Thats very irritating considering the fact we get 3 bowls every weekend. I can go down the street and get a whole quart of soup from another breakfast place. I will continue to come here because I love the food and service from Rachel but they need to step it up for sure. Sometimes they don’t even have soup.“

“Great place to grab breakfast. Arrive before 9:30am because the place folks up quick. The women's bathroom has tiny stalls and there are only 2 of them. You're given large portions by attentive servers and only 1 payment for coffee yields free refills.“

“The food and service were outstanding. We ate there on Saturday and came back to eat again on Sunday because it was so good.“

“So I visited this place at least three times with a carry out order and customer service was awesome first time. Second I decided to go due to the good food and definitely the customer service, again awesome. Third, I enjoyed my food as always with recommendations from the young lady ( forgot her name). All three times I was either on crutches or knee brace. They were so sweet they helped me with my food to car an even told me to pull up to place and they’ll have my order ready for me! They were very nice to help me and for that I’m grateful. They went above and beyond. They made sure I was taken care of. So I brought my daughter there and she agree with the great customer service. Thank you guy so much. We will see you guys soon.“

“Best bang for your buck. Delicious, fresh, great variety of food. Exemplary service.“

“I had brunch here today with a friend, first time here. I had the corned beef benedict and not only was it the best corned beef I've ever had in my life, but the orange juice was amazing, the service was great, and the value was fabulous also! Will definitely be back and plan to possibly go once a week with friends! 10 out of 10 recommend!“

“Love their food and service“

“I placed an order to go. Was informed that there was a $3.00 to go charge and a gratuity would be added on the order cause it was over $100.00. After I checked the receipt, $18.35 was the gratuity. I thought it would be maybe $5.00. Very disappointed. Had I known this, I would have come into the restaurant and ate there had them provide me with service. I am a senior and that was definetly not right. I've already instructed my family not to get me gift card from Maple and Jam.“

“In my opinion the best breakfast I’ve ever ate!!!! 5 stars“

“We went there this morning. Waitress was great. Food was awesome. Will def be back soon“

“Orland Oasis hit the spot for breakfast. The place was quiet, simple, and laid back. Nothing fancy, just easy to sit down and eat.

The staff was super friendly. They checked in enough but didn’t hover, and they seemed like they actually cared about the people eating there.

I got the Everything Skillet with scrambled eggs. It had peppers, onions, mushrooms, bacon, basically a mix of everything. The veggies still had a little crunch, the bacon was crispy, and the whole thing just tasted good. Big enough to fill me up.

Honestly, that’s all I wanted. Good food, no hassle, and a calm start to the morning.“

“I felt like at home with the best service and most excellent tasty food. Everything I have eaten from here was tasty. Top tier. Chef's kiss. Y'all won't be disappointed. The owner and waitress make u feel right at home with good southern eats made to ur liking. Joana is the waitress with the long ponytail is the best server. Definitely a hit 20/10“

“We love the potato pancakes, we’ve been coming here for years, open early. This place is on our “To Visit” restaurants as we have relocated to Orlando Florida, but we visit often and we always make a Chef Klaus visit. We highly recommend the potato pancakes & the eggs Benedict! Enjoy“

“The best pancakes around!“

“Service great food delicious.“

“The service was good and so was the food.“

“​My recent visit to Lumes was absolutely phenomenal. I can't stop thinking about the Louisiana skillet—it was perfectly cooked, with all the flavors coming together beautifully. My companion's eggs, bacon, and hash browns meal was equally impressive; the eggs were done just right. What truly stood out, though, was the wonderful service. When we asked to swap out the regular toast for French toast, the staff handled it with a smile and zero complaints. This level of quality and customer care makes Lumes a true gem. If you're looking for a top-tier breakfast spot, this is it! I would give it 10 stars in a heartbeat.“

“Unbelievable how the staff here is sooooo respectful, courteous, friendly and patient! After dealing with Chicago traffic, this place is such a gem! No matter if you're having a streak dinner or just coffee, troubles just seem to go away in there.“

“I always love coming here & frequently do when I want a good hearty meal or bringing friends. We are always kindly greeted & welcomed when arriving. It smells wonderful & makes us more hungry! We are served a cup of soup (gratis) with every meal including breakfast (their soups are delicious). The staff is friendly & always accommodating. Our food is served hot in generous proportions & for the price (very reasonable compared to other restaurants of this kind), it can’t be beat. Greek owned, the hospitality & food is reflective of the Greek Culture, representing pride, family, community, friendship, kindness & duty of service that is offered to their guests. This is known as Philotimo (pronounced “Fi-ló-timo” [Fee-low-timo]).“

“Looked up this place (to find somewhere near another place we were going). This popped up and looked good so we tried. It did NOT disappoint. Food was fantastic, huge portions and came out quickly. Their coffee is nice and strong (my preference), and the staff was attentive and friendly.
Highly recommend… we will be back next time we find ourself in the area!!“

“My mom,me and my husband come here often. It's always fantastic. The waitresses r so sweet. We just love,Jamie,Lori,Michelle,kyston,Tina,Angela,. And the hostess r sweet too. We love Sam,but don't know the other ones names sorry. Food is usually on point. We love the soups too. We always get treated well. That's why we keep coming back. Wish they would be open for dinner. We would definitely come back for that being there is no sit down family restaurants in the hts that is open past 2:30 or 3. That's not a bar?“

“Delicious food and friendly service“

“Food is delicious. Hubby and I visit at least twice a week. Breakfast bowl is yummy. Livers and onions with mashed potatoes are fabulous.“

“Fresh coffee!! None of that nasty burnt rubber tasting stuff you get from other places.

Service was exceptional, the waitresses were prompt and I was seated with no wait time.

Pricing was fair, especially for the portion sizes. The Irish plate will have you eating like royalty and is reasonably priced.

The pancakes were fluffy and perfectly done.

Definitely an Oak Lawn hidden gem.“

“All I could say, great all around. Folks don’t forget to tip the servers. Excellent job“

“Food was good service was great ambiance very clean and quiet we actually went midweek prior to lunch. I heard they had good chilaquiles unfortunately I didn’t see them on the menu so I got ham and eggs. Our portions were much smaller than we expected, but over all not too bad. May still return.“

“Good food. I tend to do breakfast“

“The food was delicious and the service was great. I attend often and will continue.😋😋🤗“

“pricing has gone through the roof. $8 for half order of plain pancakes (3), while a whole order of 6 is $9?“

“The food was fresh and piping hot as the waitress brought it out to everyone in my 5-person party. I had the meatlovers skillet. The meats were cooked to my liking, no uncooked bacon, and the potatoes were fully cooked to perfection. The eggs were cheesy and blended together easily in my skillet. The pancakes were fluffy and hot with my meal. The wait was semi long for table/booth, but the food didn't disappoint.“

“Enjoying ever moment of wat I’m at this place I can eat here forever not get bored in here love the services employees are wonderful people“

“I have visited this lovely establishment several times now and every time has been an unforgettable foodgasmic experience ! What is even more notable than that is the customer service. There are many places with good food, especially my home kitchen but good customer service and a place with a very welcoming staff with warm beautiful smiling faces is getting really hard to find. If you are looking for many delicious menu items to choose from, excellent customer service, and a bright welcoming environment to enjoy it all in, make your way on over to Eggsperts. I can promise you will not regret it. The experience is exceptional. Don't cheat yourself, treat yourself to Eggsperts today !“

“I ordered a steak Omelette eggs over easy when I say it was one of the best things that I ever tasted. I’m not lying to you. It was cooked to perfection and had great seasoning. The presentation looked delicious Whoever the cook is or chef he or she is a keeper and can cook his or her A_ _ off. You have a customer for life and I work for the University of Chicago Hospital and I will definitely pass the word around because omg ! Good Job!!!“

“Used to go here all the time will be back……. Soon. Great food“

Not only looking for good food but I search for cleanliness. Great Job! Keep it up. Let me also add the party room is Excellent plenty of room for a medium event.❤️❤️“

“Great breakfast and fast service.“

“This restaurant was kaddie corner to my Grandparents on Albany Ave. I went there when I was a boy in the 1970's...it was great back then. It says something that it is still around and still retains the Restaurant Neon sign on it. I would see that illuminated out my Gram's back window... Love it.“

“Very good food and friendly service. Will be back again.“

“My husband and I found this diner like place by accident and decided to try it. Parking is in the back, small and busy but adequate. The restaurant itself is small but menu has an extensive choices. We opted for a no. 2 combo breakfast, 2 eggs, choice of bacon or sausage or ham, with hasbrown or Bialy's potato with onion and green pepper (extra $1 which my waitress didn't mention but I saw it in my bill), with pancake or buttered toast. Forvextra $5 something, you can choose French toast which was delicious and I am very picky with French toast and coffee. They're coffee was ok but would've be better with flavored cream which owner should think about. Also. Overall bill was not bad but FYI there is a fee if you use credit card so bring cash. Overall, I can recommend this place.“

“Courtney was amazing, kind, and patient. My aunt was visiting from out of town and we had a large group. She made the outing relaxing and enjoyable. The food was delicious. It was prepared like the picture and tasted like a 5 star restaurant. All the staff were professional and friendly.“
