I was in Oak Park for a couple of nights and I needed a breakfast spot. When I travel, finding the right breakfast spot is a big deal to me. I found George's and ended up going two days in a row, Service was impeccable! Food was delicious and fresh! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. As one would expect from a Diner style restaurant, the choices were abundant. The next time I find myself in Oak Park, I'll be going straight back to George's for another delicious, fairly priced meal. George's is AWESOME!!!

This is my second time having breakfast here. Their skillet was tasty. The coffe was good. Didn't taste burnt like other places. It was busy at the time I was there, but food was served promptly.

Great breakfast spot. Had a great meal here, the food is hot and fresh. I ordered the classic breakfast with eggs , ham and French toast. The French toast was huge . And my eggs were cooked perfectly. I ordered over medium .The service was friendly and the food came out fast even with the restaurant being packed. The coffee was also very good , strong and flavorful. Everyone in my group enjoyed their breakfast and I would definitely recommend this spot. Prices were a little high 15-20 for most meals .

This diner has so much to offer with an extensive menu, diverse fresh food and quick service.. This year upgrading his menu with gluten-free options serving organic dark roast coffee with options for the lactose intolerant carrying oat milk... But one of my pet peeves at a lot of breakfast places is frozen hash browns. I can't stand it. Georgei s serving up quality, with a hard labor real hash browns.. 40 years in business and you can tell.. between the quality of the food and efficiency of the restaurant. And let me tell you how fast that kitchen is. I've never been at a place where you sit. Your order is taken and for the most part in less than 5 minutes your food is out.... I highly recommend this place. Although open 7:00 to 3:00. He has lunch options. The best soups. I've had split peas on Wednesday Navy Bean on Thursday. Beef barley cream of chicken Thursdays and Sundays and if you are a soup connoisseur you can order soup at 7:00 in the morning. That's my type of restaurant.. I truly love this place

The diner has an immense menu. If you are looking for the best place to have brunch, this is the place to be. We had a triple meat lover and el rancho burrito; they were both amazing and satiating. I definitely recommend this gem in Oak Park.
