Dearborn Restaurant — Restaurant in Waterloo

Thick, REAL BACON! Huge portions, fair prices, super friendly staff, very clean establishment, and the coffee is actually delicious black (how I prefer) not the same ol same ol mediocre coffee as every other restaurant. Been multiple times for breakfast, my kiddo asks to go here all the time. Busy spot for plenty of tradesmen (so ya know it's filling and tasty!) I'll be coming back here to try the lunch & dinner menu asap tooooo! 10/10 goin back again and again!

I've been coming here for a while, usually after a long 12-14hr night shift. I work in construction and this place has had a great reputation until now - I've never been rushed out of here before whether it was busy or not, they didn't even offer coffee refill or a take out container. All four service staff watched me like a hawk for 10minutes after food was on the table then shoved the bill at me. Regular server wasn't there - Jeanette I believe is her name, wonderful lady. All young people serving today. Don't want to come back anymore. That was horrible, I felt like an inconvenient potentially bad customer who might run out and not pay the bill or something. Usually I tip handsomely, this time nothing. Sorry but rushing people through a meal isn't good customer service at a restaurant no...

On Monday 3 February my 2-year old car broke down. I went into Dearborn Restaurant to wait for CAA. I ordered the soup of the day but before I could finish it, CAA arrived. I swiftly left, leaving the server with $10, not expecting any change. She had kindly offered to pack it to go, and I thanked her saying that I would have to come back for it in a few minutes. No sooner had I reached my car, and the CAA truck, a man came walking quickly towards me. I realized that he was carrying my soup to go. As I tried to thank him, he said "I am the owner, this soup is on me. I hope your day gets better." He then handed me back my $10. It has been a while since I have experienced such genuine kindness. I have told this story to so many people since yesterday and will continue to do so. There is still kindness in the world, and my day did get better because he took the trouble to bring a stranger, a woman of colour, some chicken...

This was the best Lunch I have had in a very long time. I ordered the Chicken Slovakia Wrap, and my Mom had the Chicken Caesar and we could not believe the size of the wrap it was twice the size you get anywhere else as well it had lots of Chicken in it and they put lots of sauce in mine with out me asking for extra cause other restaurant never have the wraps saucy enough. generous on the fries and the coleslaw is as good if not better then Anna Mae's and that is saying something cause I am very fussy on my Coleslaw I do not like vinegar and this was mayo style. Love having left overs it makes me feel I get my moneys worth cause I get 2 meals out of it. I would recommend this to anyone, I told my son about the place and he said he would go for breakfast there and he agrees it is a great place to eat. Just watch when you go cause they are only open from...
