Best places: American restaurants in Lake Villa, United States

Old-school booth-&-counter joint plating hearty American classics for breakfast & lunch.

👍👍 I have tried just about everything on their menu and I have never had a bad meal yet! Today I had the Chicago hot dog special with cheese fries. Delicious as always! Favorite place for gyros, beefs, catfish, Reubens, shakes. Always done right!

Breakfast & lunch spot offering American comfort fare in a casual space with train-themed decor.

👍👍 Loved the breakfast buffet option for anyone to enjoy at $13 per person, but it's only available on Sundays. Great food, great prices, can't wait to enjoy again! Come enjoy a home cooked meal away from home.

👍👍 The place was clean as well as the bathrooms. The guy who took our order was nice. My favorite was the chopped chicken salad. My kids liked the tacos and grilled cheese. My only complaint would be the small and thin napkins. I had to use a million napkins.

👍👍 Finally stopped in the famed hot dog stand a couple of weeks ago after a long hiatus. Lived in RL from May '89-Nov '02 which is when I was in & out of this place along with a few other RL area favs. Not just hot dogs but their overall menu has always been awesome. Good prices, friendly service and...

👍👍 Fish fry was the best I've had in a while! VERY VERY BUSY!! Staff was great but service was kinda slow due to the amount of customers. Our experience was positive and we will go back. We will try to get there early next time! Things are tough all over but I thought they did a great job.

👍 Very good food. Wait staff was excellent. Nice atmosphere.

🫤 Went on a Friday night so maybe this experience was an exception, but our waitress was very rude and unfriendly from the get go. I ordered a deluxe sandwich, which comes with soup and fries. She didn't even bother telling me they were out of soup when I ordered it. She didn't ask what kind I wanted...
