“Was recommended by our hotel in the same lot to grab dinner here. Flight was delayed. Older diner and we came a hour to closing. Had the late night menu. Server helping us was very busy but friendly, she recommended the burger and fries. I got the cheeseburger and fries and my husband got a stack of pancakes.Fluffy pancakes and surprisingly delicious! Cheeseburger hit the spot, fresh slice of tomato and crisp lettuce (not know to happen at a dinner)I didn’t get to grab my meal vouncher from Airline customer service but they do accept them here.Recommend this spot for travelers and locals!“

“I love Lola's Diner! The price of the food is absolutely amazing especially for how huge the portions are. The food always tasted great as well. There are also a bunch of options and they're very open to supplementing foods. The diner itself looks super cute, it has a retro old diner look to it with teal booths and chairs, just a nice environment overall. The service is great, the waiters and waitresses are always kind and quick, especially Jose! The food also doesn't take a long time to come out even when every table is full and they're super busy!“

She greeted my children warmly. She is very attentive and kind. You can tell she takes pride in her restaurant and making sure you leave in a better mood than you arrived. I'd give the service 10 stars if I could.“

Its closer to home and now I don't have to drive all the way to west dundee to go to the original. great food, great service. everything always tastes so fresh and we've never had anything off the menu we didn't love. I can't wait for summer and hopefully they will have outdoor seating!“
