50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Oak Forest

“Three of us routinely indulge in breakfast at Diamond and are never disappointed with the great food and excellent service. Portions are substantial and made with top notch ingredients, served hot and fresh. Our favorite waitresses are Rachel and Teresa, but all the staff are good. I'm a huge fan of the pancakes, sausage and eggs combination, which is served at a bargain price including coffee on Tuesday and Thursday. Diamond also offers many lunch options.“

“Our server was Deanna M. I have to say that she was one of the most pleasant, personable persons that I've interacted with at a breakfast/lunch restaurant, ever. Everyone in our party just loved her! I'd drive farther just to have her be my server!“

“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.“

“Food was excellent!! Prices Excellent!! Will be back!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Love their food and service“

“It was my first time at the restaurant and I was impressed. Fast service, courteous staff, and the food was delicious! Highly recommended and I will definitely be back for another visit.“

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

“1st time. Service was very good and friendly. Guy with the black curly hair super nice. Food was good. Had salad, soup, and a latte. Will be back.“

“I am not notable, so my opinion may be of little consideration for most. This stated, the pancakes I've had here rival some of the best I have ever tasted. This is without mentioning the Chorizo, the eggs, and their choice of spices and peppers. The food here as of this date 6/30/26, is some of the best food I have had.“

“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“

“I worked here for 6 months and the owners had me fired for talking Spanish to the cooks! VERY discriminatory!!!💯 Customers BEWARE of what type of establishment you are supporting when dining here!💯“

“Wanted to try something and stumbled across this! Absolutely delicious food and wonderful atmosphere. Will definitely be back!“

“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've frequented most of the breakfast spots in and around Palos Heights, and Lumes Pancake House is definitely my favorite. The servers are friendly and fast, and the food is some of the best I've had. You really can't go wrong with their veggie skillet!“

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

“The best pancakes around!“

“Service great food delicious.“

“What a shame you didn’t offer anything for Veterans. They should’ve been entitled to a free breakfast. I’ll think twice about going back to this restaurant.“

“Great service! Took care of my girl's dietary restrictions.“

“Great service. The catfish(filet/whole) was delicious. Our waitress Pamela was so nice and professional. I was there yesterday 3/15/22 party of 6 with my line dancing sisters. I will definitely be back!!!!“

“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.“

“It was a beautiful experience. The waitress was very pleasant. The food was delicious“

“Great food! Staff is very friendly and pleasant!“

“Great little place very cozy, fair pricing and excellent flavor.“

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

“Ordered the half order of biscuits and gravy meal The biscuits were soft and fresh, gravy was flavorful, scrambled eggs were soft and fluffy, and bacon perfectly crisp. Food was seasoned well and not overly salty. Orange juice was cold and refreshing but very small. My only complaint would be there was a LOT of gravy compared to the size of the biscuits, making the biscuits appear much larger than they actually were. Overall, really great breakfast. Would definitely order it again.“

“My husband & I ate there for the first time Sunday. The food was absolutely delicious & plentiful. Being new to the area we found a favorite place to eat!“

“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]).“

“I've come here quiet a few times and various hours and no matter how busy they have been they always provide exceptional service. The food is not overpriced but good down home breakfast food. Its a small thing but when you order something that's on the menu with a photo that is the exact dish you are getting. I highly recommend Waffles Pancake House if you are in the area“

“Good food. I tend to do breakfast“

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

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

“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.“

“This place was very nice: clean, peaceful atmosphere, good food options. I take it that this is a place that is under new management/ownership with the name change to Mr. Stacks. Though the decor is the same the service is elevated. The food was good: served hot, fresh ingredients, tasty. The service was excellent: Alicia was very attentive, cordial, easy going. She checked on my numerous times during my short visit.“

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

“Delicious food and friendly service“

“I had an amazing experience at Batter & Berries! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The staff made sure everything was perfect without being overbearing. The food was outstanding, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every bite tasted homemade and thoughtfully prepared. One standout you absolutely cannot miss is their homemade hot sauce. It has the perfect balance of heat and flavor and takes the meal to a whole new level. If you’re looking for a spot with delicious food, top, tier service, and a memorable house made touch, Batter & Berries is definitely worth the visit. I’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Great breakfast and fast service.“

“absolutely love when I'm in town and get to stop with family to have brunch or lunch here. everybody goes above and beyond to make it a great experience!“

“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 !“

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

“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.“
