Homer's Cafe — Restaurant in Homer Glen

EDIT: no longer have gluten free bread or bagels. I guess I was the only one eating them. bummer. The rest of the review still applies. Still good food.

GLUTEN FREE BREAD AND BAGELS. Good diner food at an even better price. I've only had their breakfast to this point, but it was great. This area has gotten several new restaurants as of late, but Homer's cafe is one of few that is worth noting. It is quickly on it's way to becoming my Monday morning spot before work. You aren't going to find gluten free lox anywhere else within a 20-30 minute drive, and it's great here. Additionally the staff and owner could not have been friendlier or more accommodating. The interior is utilitarian, which I can appreciate more than the cheap finishes made in some weird interpretation of design (namely Q on 159th). At any rate, value is a concept lost on many restaurants around here, and it's nice to see places like this and, at the nicer end, Crepe Bistro on Bell come in and give you something worth handing over your money for.

Come in had to wait until the waiter felt to come to the front and when she did was thinking i was there to pickup an order. The place is very small and homey, but services skills are bad, cook bad and food was not prepared correctly. I ordered a western skillet with the option of home fries or hashbrown potatoes and it comes with skirt steak that is chopped it was not even a handful onions mushrooms, green peppers and mixed cheese.

Server was 1 and had a attitude because may food was not the way I asked, then did not bring all items to table when bringing food, had to wait for butter for pancakes and the cook was arguing with waiter about order and still did not come out correctly. Lastly has to wait about 5 minutes to pay and get bill. RATE...

Update- emailed the owner regarding our experience. Over a month later, zero response whatsoever. This says plenty about how they care for customers.

This place is awful- stay away. Was served food that I was unable to eat because it was overly fishy. Manager Ximena was beyond rude and told me ITS FISHY BECAUSE ITS FISH. No apology- She also charged me for the food I couldn't eat in addition to the new omelet they were going to make me. This was our first time here and we wanted to try a local place but will never be back. Their customer service is horrendous- have never been treated like this at a restaurant! I guess I now understand why they aren't...
