Service was very efficient, food was delicious with lots of flavor. Lots of people there for breakfast while we were there. Prices very reasonable. Apart from being so busy , waitress clearly made sure every table was servised. Will definitely come back again.

First time visiting and you can tell this place is loved by looking at the parking lot alone! Even with it being busy, the service was amazing as was the food. You have to try their soups and crepes but they have tons of choices available all day. Friendly family restaurant with delicious food! Definitely going back!

Nice people. Good service. A little small inside. Can use some updates to the restaurant and parking. The place is always busy.

Great diner in Belvidere to take a meal-break on the way to/from Chicago. Not *right off* I-90 but close enough with several gas stations available in-between.Covered outdoor parking for rainy/snowy days. Prices are quite reasonable, and the food is delicious with a wide variety of menu options! Run by loving Latino family, so lots of Spanish everywhere if you're like me who's from California and needs to practice!

After moving back to Belvidere, we decided to eat here for breakfast one day. Prices were very reasonable and everything sounded so good. Food did take a minute- they said a fifty minute wait. It was worth it. I got the biscuits and gravy omelette which was amazing! Definitely had leftovers. Wish I would had known there were specials for the day.

Uncle John's is just a classic hometown, diner style restaurant. The food is terrific, especially if you stick with the breakfast classics, such as eggs (any style), potatoes , breakfast meats, and pancakes. The Swedish pancakes are superb, especially with a side order of lingonberries. Being family-run, and a close knit family at that, the service is outstanding. It's like you've been adopted into a family that's focused on getting good food into your body in a friendly and caring way. We go there regularly and almost always bring friends from out of town here, including the snooty ones, for breakfast or lunch and everybody has such a great time.I'm not the only one who thinks this is a great place, so be prepared, on occasion, for a wait during peak hours, but they are so efficient that tables open up quickly. Highly recommended.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST BREAKFAST DINER IN BELVIDERE!* From Swedish pancakes, to an omelet, Uncle John's has you covered!* Best kept well-known secret is that when one order's a plate of two eggs, two pieces of bacon, and an order of pancakes, they'll actually receive three eggs and three pieces of bacon. That extra mile is well-worth every penny!* The service is five stars alone. As is the ambiance as well. You'll immediately feel welcomed and have that "ma and pa diner" feel while you sit at the bar or at a table.* From eating inside their newly remodeled restaurant, or ordering ahead and picking up to-go, Uncle John's is a must for that breakfast craving!-- Happy future enjoyments with your tastebuds!

Ordered the soup and sandwich. Chicken salad was good and vegetable beef soup looked to be homemade but lacked flavor and I didn't notice any beef.Service and prices were okay and it was an overall good experience.
