Mr Allison's Restaurant — Restaurant in Elk Grove Township

Holy COW!! THIS PLACE WAS GREAT. My daughter and I found this place while in the area for another event at the HS. My son was in the Special Olympics and we had a large amount of time between his events. My son wanted to stay with his friends. My daughter and I were starving. Parking was packed so didn't want to move the car. Found this place and decided to walk!! 1.3 miles to be exact. With out a doubt well worth the walk.We got lucky and we're seated immediately. It did get packed as we were leaving though. I had the best eggs Benedict ever! EVER. That ham is DELICIOUS !! American potatoes were crispy and tender.I would order fries next time,(just a preference). Daughter had a cheeseburger and fries excellent! Both plates were packed! The food being served around us were the same. Piled with food. The pancakes looked great too! Fried steak was crazy huge! Anyway, and this is weird I got a side of grilled jalapeños! OMG! DELECTABLE AND PERFECTLY CARAMELIZED SALTY AND SWEET AND PERFECT!! CRAZIEST THING! JUST TRY 'EM!! THIS PLACE IS A TEN TO BE HONEST. IF IT WASNT 15 MILES FROM ME ID BE THERE 4 DAYS A WEEK!! Crazy we found it by chance too. Anyway our tab was $26 bux. I was surprised by how reasonable it was and how much we got and how good. I was completely satisfied and we got a deal!! That's getting rare all these corporate places are a ripoff! WE HAVE TO SUPPORR THESE...

Big portions and good prices, but customer service is what needs to be fixed to be successful. My family and I went on fathers day to Mr Allison's. Of course like every other restraunt it was busy on that day. My father sat at the counter 20 min before we got there and had coffee. We understand it is busy so we are waiting and waiting. My father notices at least 2 other parties that are sitting at there tables alot longer past them finish there food. One of the waitresses has the audacity to tell my father, he had to get up because he has been there for too long. Instead of saying something to one of the other tables, so we can sit (we had a party of 5). I couldn't believe it so she lost 5 paying customers for her stupid remark. My advice to management teach your waitresses proper etiquette on how to talk to the customers because of pennies that day you lost dollars. I knew Mr. Allison before he passed away, he would have never talked to his customers like that because he knew how hard it is to gain a customer. I will never step foot in there again because of that remark. If that is the case management should take note on how long people are sitting...

I've been coming here since I was in high school when me an day mom moved I to town. I decided to take my best friend who had never been before. When we got there we were greeted with the most annoyed and rude server ever. She was a tall girl skinny with short hair. She was un professional, never smiled, was not attentive at all. Never even asked if I wanted another drink even tho my glass was empty before I got my food which didn't come for 4t min after my friends soup arrived. I'm a server my self for more than 13 years, I was appalled by her service and was more surprised she had a job. I tipped her very well more than 60% of my bill as I think she's gonna need it because I don't see a promising future in the service industry for her. Food was good however the gravy had chunks of flower in it, atleast they make there own gravy. I just wish this wasn't the experience u showed my friend who was a potential new customer who is also a food service manager at a very well known restaurant. SMH. But I will be back never to sit with that...
