Whitney Street Diner — Restaurant in Grayslake

Finally got around to dining here a couple of weeks ago and after leaving, my wife and I both agreed we already wanted to come back soon.

Cozy lil diner in a very old setting boasts a great Mexican/American menu with good prices and friendly down-to-earth service.

This is one thing I really enjoy is good ol' traditional home cooking. When it comes to breakfast I'm definitely old school and don't need anything fancy.

Gimme a couple of eggs up, some sausage patties, lotsa hash browns, toast to dip in the yolk and a cup of coffee.......I'm a happy man!

I would imagine this place is in direct competition with Fred's nearby which I've only been to once but knowing I've already been there is why I had to try this place and we love these guys as well.

I don't get out to this area too often being I've been living in Beach Park since April of '03, formerly lived in Round Lake for over 13 years which was much closer but didn't know about this place then.

Definitely my kind of breakfast venue and always happy to support local. We'll...

I didn’t get a chance to try the food. I had place a pick up order and went to pay but noticed the amount they wanted me to sign for was more than what the stated total was.

They wouldn’t even accept my debit card without charging me an additional fee, and I didn’t have enough cash on me at the moment. I will not be going back until they cease this shady business practice. They actually lost the business of my entire office...

This is our go-to breakfast place and we love it. It's classic mom & pop restaurant comfort food that tastes like someone's grandma made it for you. The food always comes out fast, even when the place is packed. The staff is always wonderful, kind, and welcoming. If I had to offer any criticism, I have just two things: 1. I really wish they had stronger coffee, and 2. I'd love for them to get a full interior makeover - things have aged quite a bit. Still, all the other positives totally make up for those things. We still eat there regularly and will...
