Des Plaines Family Restaurant & Pancake House — Restaurant in Maine Township

I’m in a wheelchair and these people were so amazingly friendly and helpful and made sure I had a convenient table for me to go and enjoy my breakfast with my friend. The service was phenomenal. The food was off the charts. I personally do not like pancakes and that’s just me, but I don’t know what it is about their pancakes, but we ordered them as part of our breakfast and they were so good. I had a ham omelette because I’ve always loved ham off the bone and I had the best hashbrowns and they always ask you whether or not you want them crispy, which is great because that’s the way I like them and both waitresses who have been there for years. I’ve been absolutely fantastic. Wonderful people great food. I’m so glad I don’t live far away because I’m going to regularly come here. My friend ordered the skirt steak, which was so tasty and her scrambled eggs were delicious everything the entire meal was so good. We spent so much time looking at the menu because you have so many choices for breakfast. It’s really difficult to pick which one they have so many delicious choices that’s why I’m going to have to go back and try each one that I had seen that I didn’t choose This particular visit. I really recommend it very much. It’s a great place and wonderful people and great food.

Another fine breakfast at the best breakfast place in...

Just visited this tiny restaurant for the very first time after passing it by on many occasions over the years and I will certainly be returning soon. I ordered the Mexican Omelet and it was just superb. I really enjoyed the mixture of seasoning and potatoes mixed into the eggs. The eggs were fluffy and well done, the potatoes crispy and it was just excellent. My wife had the Down Home, a mixture of biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs on top and she said that it was also really terrific.

What I especially enjoyed about this little restaurant was the variety. I haven't seen an open faced roast beef or turkey sandwich on a menu in years, the last time being in a small town diner in Iowa during my youth. The same can be said about the Breaded Pork Tenderloin. The menu choices go far beyond the normal every day offerings at the big name breakfast establishments, the service was just absolutely terrific and friendly and the prices were really easy on the wallet, too. I am sure to be returning again soon to enjoy something off of...
