50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Oak Lawn

“Love their food and service“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“I loved this place! The Cinnamon Roll Waffles and the Ham and Cheese Omelette were absolutely amazing! The staff was great as well. I will definitely go back when I'm in town again.“

“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.“

“After leaving another restaurant because of a bad experience with the server & food, we came here just to grab something to eat because we were hungry frustrated & tired. To our surprise we were greeted by Ashely who was warm & welcoming. She was friendly & knew the menu!! We absolutely loved our food & even more our service from Ashley! She turned our night around & is always a pleasure!! She is a true asset to the restaurant.“

“Thank you Laz for such an amazing breakfast! We were very impressed with all the food and of course you coming out and speaking with us was just an awesome experience!“

“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!“

“Fun, down to earth, good food and the owner rocks!“

“Had a wonderful breakfast here while in town. One of the most hospitable restaurants I’ve ever been to! Waitresses Anna Marie and Debbie were so pleasant and made us feel like family. The gentleman up front (I’m assuming the owner) was accommodating to a special need we had and was so sweet. Our new favorite breakfast spot! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“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.“

“Don's. If you've ever had Waffle House, this is the closest I've found to it in Chi. Great food, great service. It's a bit tight, they only have about 12-15 barstool seats, but it's never been an issue, never had to wait.

Patty melt and hash browns with chili and gravy on top every time ❤️“

“Food was delicious. They serve large portions. Staff is super friendly. Atmosphere is great, loved the mixture of background music including soft rock.“

“Good food, highly recommend“

“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.“

“We had a large group just before lunchtime on a Saturday, and they were great about squeezing us in. Our server D was amazing, truly, and the other staff were helpful and attentive, too. The food was delicious, hot, fast, priced affordably. They have a large menu. We had some special diets in our group and there were enough options for them to find what they needed. I definitely would return and would recommend it to friends.“

“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.“

“Best stuffed French toast ever! The owners are hand on and very hospitable. They close at 2pm, so make sure you time your visit early.“

“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 just recently started going there since last year. No negative reviews here. Every single experience has been great alongside with the food. When it’s your birthday, the staff sings to you. You pay what you get and it’s worth every penny. Keep up the great work Alexander’s!! As busy as it gets: even when people are standing room only: it goes by quickly and the staff greets you with their kindness and smiles.“

“​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.“

“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.“

“The best pancakes around!“

“The service is great, the prices are good, and the food is great 😊 , great neighborhood place to eat at !“

“I have the avocado lotto and it was plenty so much that I have enough for supper. The fruit was fresh and plentiful. The tunafish and cottage cheese were excellent. The patty melt with onions was cooked perfectly. It came with a cup of soup and a generous portion of coleslaw. We will definitely come back here again.“

“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 food and service! Thanks!“

“The service was good, the place was clean and cozy, the food was very good.“

“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!💯“

“I've been going to both joes on 51st. Both are usually good. It's still the best bang for your buck, however, today I has the ribeye med well Hashrowns with onion bell peppers and cheese with French toast and everything was a hit. I couldn't have ask for a better chef this morning to make my food. Thank you guys so much. Keep up the great work. Sorry I forgot to take pictures I will next time“

“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]).“

“The food was excellent! I started with the chicken lemon rice soup — it was a perfect 10/10.
My main dish was the chilaquiles verdes, which had just the right amount of spice (not too hot). The rice and beans were super tasty, and the avocado, sour cream, and over-easy eggs on top were a great touch.
Prices are very reasonable, the service was spot-on, and the place was super clean. We had a party of 6 and were seated comfortably at our table — plenty of room for everyone.
It’s a great family restaurant, perfect for breakfast or brunch. I’ll definitely be back!
Highly recommend!“

“Great comfortable place to rest and eat a delicious meal. They will make whatever you like even if it's not on the menu. Whatever you order it's going to taste delicious!! Great friendly service and large portions of food. I am always taking leftovers home. My favorite is the double cheeseburger with everything. It includes grilled onions, delicious chilli and an egg on top. The egg is cooked the way you like it. I enjoy an over easy egg on top of my burger. OMG delicious!! They also have a gaming room in the back.“

“This restaurant truly impressed me! From the moment we walked in, everything felt just right — warm lighting, pleasant music, and a welcoming atmosphere. The food was outstanding, each dish prepared with care and full of rich, balanced flavors. The staff was attentive and professional, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. A perfect spot for both everyday meals and special occasions!“

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

“Delicious food and friendly service“

“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.“

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

“Excelente servicio y la comida 🥘 muy rica y bien preparada 👌. Excelente atención de sus meseras y personal.“

“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.“

“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 !“

“Food ALWAYS on point 🅿️ERIOD“

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

“It was great . We got there around 10ish and we were seated right away. The hostess were great and respectful if needed more time before ordering. It’s open 24 hours.“

“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!!!“
