Lilys Diner

This newly opened diner may still be finding its footing (no pie! Only cheesecake for dessert?) but we very much enjoyed our lunch here. Had great service from Marissa. Menu is varied but not overwhelming. Tried the pork tenderloin (appears to be battered but was quite good) and the onion rings were crispy. Pancakes were fantastic and eggs were cooked correctly to order. It's a cozy place with only ten or so tables. But food came out quickly and hot and tables turned quickly.

Great new place I happened upon on my way home to Chicago. If only it was in my neighborhood. Fresh, delicious, nice decor and clean Also, the portions are large! Thanks to Robert, Gaby and el jefe for attentive service.Highly Recommended

Really good family run diner! Service was fast and friendly and the food was served hot and flavorful. We will be back.

Breakfast Saturday morning was wonderful! The ham was delicious and a large portion! All three people working was pleasant and spoke to us! Good food, clean restaurant and quality staff! I wish the business well and will return!

I ordered a bacon cheeseburger. When it came to the table it had no bacon. Staff was friendly and offered to fix. I declined since the cheeseburger was already there. I took one bite and I could instantly tell it was frozen patty. It was thin dry and grey. The fries tasted as if they were fried in the same grease as everything else. It reminded me of school cafe food. We also had a quesadilla, which was just a vessel of grease. We got to go containers, simply not to hurt their feelings. Staff was great.

We saw a Facebook post that it was a new place and decided to try it. Word is still getting out so it was kind of slow. We arrived a little after 11am and decided on lunch although breakfast is served all day. I appreciate that the diner was impeccably clean. It has a nice rustic feel but seemed almost too quiet until we got our food. The waitress Marisa, I think, was attentive and friendly. My Chicken Cordon Bleu was excellent! The fries were good as well. The other meal at our table was the Grilled Chicken Salad. It was a very nice chef salad with grilled chicken. Both dishes were presented very well and the size of the dishes makes them a good value. We are planning on a return visit to try breakfast next! It is worth a visit!

Very friendly waitress. She recommended French toast and I went with that. (I wanted breakfast for my 1pm lunch). Added a side of bacon. FT was very tasty. Just the right amount of powdered sugar on top. Good portion size. Bacon was several pieces clumped together--not a bad thing but not able to count how many slices, guessing 4 or 5! Crispy like I ordered. Very reasonably priced menu. Be on the lookout. Location is easy to miss. Looking forward to going back.

Had an omelet. Wanted cheese in it, waitstaff said it had cheese. Asked for eggs to be cooked soft.No cheese, eggs were cooked dry.Took over 30 minutes to get order. Had to ask for ketchup.Entire breakfast was fair at best.Waitstaff inattentive, never stopped by to say what was taking my breakfast so long.First time I've ever written a complaint review.
