Lumber Mill Inn — Restaurant in Lyons Township

You know, the food is good, the servers are pretty friendly and the restaurant has a comfortable atmosphere... but the prices are holding this place back from being great. There are no prices displayed on the new menus they have, and if you order - let's say a burger - you will be paying additionally for the fries. Every bill I've recieved has had a confusing charge for something that isn't labeled. I recently went with one other person and we ordered 3 entrees total and ended up paying $44.

Extra crispy fried potatoes just how I like. The menu was affordable. With an exciting variety. Breakfast to dinner. Tasty treats and desert options as well. I saw popcorn of many flavors and colors. I believe made in house. I highly recommend Lumber Mill Inn. I will be returning and...
