One of Bolingbrooks hidden gems. Some of the best breakfast food around. Just like mom used to make. If you're going for lunch, definitely the best bang for your buck.
Unfortunate experience with the male server on the patio. It was a busy morning, but we waited over 30 minutes for our food and were there for over and hour and 20 minutes with understandably at first, little interaction from staff.We watched several tables who ordered 15 minutes after us without children get their food, pay and leave as we had to wrangle two toddlers. We were told they ran out or gravy as the food was brought out.After asking for our boxes and the check the server came out to clean tables and run food a few times before he decided to help us. I had to go inside to grab our boxes and pay without ever getting the check from the server. My husband had to leave with two screaming toddlers, and they cleaned the table within seconds after ignoring us most of the time, and threw away over $30 of food in the trash before I could get back to the table and wrap it up. Super frustrating because it seems he took our table when another server who was busy, but still efficient was going to take care of us. At this point I regret struggling to pay and leaving a tip, but that’s just not our style.Avoid the male server or busy days if you have small children. This was all not to mention an order of sausage links being forgotten and when they did arrive, they were most definitely microwaved based upon part of the rock hardness and appearance on parts of each of them. Also no grill marks compared to the other set.Regardless, the best way to handle tables with children is to get them their food right away, even if it’s only part of the order, especially when they immediately ordered when first greeted and are obviously not trying to hang around too long. Hard to believe this was a kitchen mistake over a server mistake.It’s a shame to have a sour taste in your mouth with such a cute place, and it feels like we wasted hard earned money.Feels like the customers are taken for granted which is super unfortunate besides the mediocre food. If you go, you’re going for the planes.
Great breakfast place with good food for an even better price. I usually go during the week because weekends will be very busy especially when it's good weather. Best view is at the windows to watch the planes start and land.
You can airplanes and helicopters landing and taking off while your eating their delicious food. You can some in our outside, so it's always really fun going there.
Agree that it's a hidden gem of Bolingbrook, located alongside the airstrip of Clowes International Airport (small airstrip). My kids love coming here for a fun lunch, watching small aircrafts, airplanes, and helicopters taking off and landing.Free parking and also a place to lock your bike up. We've sat both indoors by the windows and outside when it's nice. Have many diner choice foods and service is great. There's also a fish tank there that my girls love. They have high chairs and booster seats and place to change diapers in the women/family restroom.
The high reviews had my expectations too high. This place is just like every above average random local diner you've been to before. Not to say the food was bad, but certainly nothing to go out of your way for. A redeeming factor here is just outside there is an airstrip and several planes on display. Service was nice but again nothing extraordinary. Overall glad I stoped here and would recommending to see for yourself!
FOOD IS VERY GOOD PEOPLE ARE NICE
I love this place! It's a small diner next to a municipal airport, so it's fun to bring your kids and watch the planes land and take off. Food is your standard diner fare, and the decor inside is neat and is aviation themed. Definitely a cool hidden spot. Make sure you grab a window seat!
Lived in Bolingbrook for 8 years, heard how good this restaurant was but never pulled the trigger to try it out. Wow! Great food, service and watching the planes take off and land was like a show. Definitely enjoyed my experience of this hidden gem and will be going back soon??
The food is amazing & so is the ambiance if your into planes!! You can dine while watching them take off or come in. The restaurant also has plane decor throughout. The service is also exceptional waiting no longer then 2 minutes to get checked on to make we had everything or needed anything!! Fantastic place!!!
