Real old school authentic dinner with great food and service. The menu is big with various options that sound delicious. I had the skirt steak and eggs with toast and hash browns. The steak was very flavorful and did not need any sauce. I never had hash browns prepared like these before but they were very good and seasoned very well. My girlfriend always gets the french toast, she loves them. I would definitely recommend this place and will be visiting again.

Local diner in oak park that clearly has been around for some time. The workers are friendly and the scenery makes you feel like you've the warped into the 60s. My sister and I dropped in for basic food (turkey sandwich and a cheeseburger). The service was quick and accommodating. The waitresses were incredibly friendly and it was genuine. While they're not Instagram famous, they are consistent and loyal. The prices are great and don't break the bank. It's a staple for me!

I went to visit my dad at the assisted living building across the street & planned on treating him to lunch but he'd already eaten. Nothing wrong with treating myself tho I sat by myself outside & mostly stayed off my phone. It was a nice day out, sunny but with a breeze going. I ordered a Diet Coke with the patty melt deluxe. The food was tasty, the service was prompt & friendly, & the price was decent.

We ate outside and they were able to accommodate a large group of people. It didn't feel too hot as there was a tent covering almost the whole back patio so that was great. I got the strawberry fruit waffle and it was good but would've preferred maybe a heavier whipped cream. They did give me extra like I wanted which was awesome! The burgers come with a large serving of crinkle cut fries as a side so I would say those are a much better value, but you won't be able to finish it probably unless you skipped a meal that day or take some leftovers home. With most people getting a burger and fries, we were able to have 6 people eat lunch for $110 with tax and tip so I would say that's pretty reasonable. Seems like a fine place to get lunch with family where you know it's a safe bet there'll be something everyone likes, I just wouldn't expect any unique flavors.

It's okay. The prices are insanely high for the quantity and quality of food. This is a diner. The kind you'd see in those 80's movies, so I'm not getting the $20+ breakfast from the whole vibe of the place. The variety of options on their menu is good. There's so much to choose from there will be something for everyone. The corn beef hash is very salty. I don't know that I would ever try it again. The rent in the area is high so I can see why their stuff is a bit overpriced for the quality. I think they can improve by not overcooking everything. I think most people in the area prefer things cooked where they are still soft and moist.Overall, I would order again but I would keep it simple some eggs and coffee. No, this isn't my idea of a go to breakfast place but it's not terrible.

Looking for a classic diner meal in oak park? Al's grill has been checking that box for diners since before I was born. I started this review the last time I was here with my dad, but the experience I just had changed my mind forever. As my dad always reminds me, the food might bring us in-- but it's the service that brings us back. I think it's the liver and onions he likes. I just went in as a driver to pick up an order. The restaurant was almost empty and there were many people working. The waitresses were downright insulting to me. They apparently only pretend to value your life if there is a possibility of a tip. Then they shake those 70 year old butts and giggle. I suddenly wish that I could retroactively un-tip the whole staff. Seriously. I will never go in there again. The order I had been assigned was sitting on the counter. The wait staff was ignoring me and then once they deigned to acknowledge me-- they were verbally abusive and condescending. If you can't treat me professionally when I am working as a delivery partner, you don't get any more of my business. They told me to take off my mask and stop yelling at them. I had never once raised my voice. I had asked if I might go ahead and read the bag and take it (I could see the name from two feet away...and I had been standing there for a bit being told that I had to wait for my turn--remember: almost empty.) No! They both screamed as they glared at me. You may not touch anything!I told them "no worries, I will never return."2/10 the food is only okay but it is across from a hospital.

Stopped in for a quick bite. I was greeted as I walked in and seated immediately. It wasn't too crowded but it was busy. The place gives off a diner ambiance. You can sit at the counter or opt for a table. A server came with water and I was asked if I wanted coffee. I said yes. I ordered a veggie skillet with pancakes. The coffee was not the best it tasted burnt/old and they don't have any non dairy creamer options. My food was brought out quickly and hot. The skillet was tasty, but the pancakes needed a bit more love. I've been here a few times, however it's my first visit in years. I'm not sure if they have new kitchen staff or management, but it definitely wasn't what I was used to. Not sure I'll be back anytime soon.
