“Did outdoor seating with a toddler and they were incredibly accommodating.”
“Guess it's also because it's across from the Asphalt Green soccer field where many have just come from.”
“Waitstaff got our party of 5 seated almost immediately with a quick shift of tables and adding a high chair for the baby.”

Nice diner type restaurant with ample seating and friendly staff. The hostess on Sunday was very helpful. We had a group of 6 adults and two toddlers and were seated right away!
A man who I believe to be the owner came by our table a few times. As it took us a while to get situated, the server asked if we'd like to put in the kids food order first. That was a great suggestion as they were able to get their food quickly so we avoided any potential meltdowns.
Comfort breakfast! Its a good diner for sat and sun brunches. 14.95 includes coffee, tea, and a choice of breakfast meal. And you can dine outside.
It was definitely not love here. The hubby ate here a few times for lunch and it was okay. Our breakfast food-wise was fine, the service on the other hand wasn't so great. The diner was practically empty and it took almost 25 minutes to get 2 omelets.
The coffee tasted old and the prices were pretty high – over $30 for omelets and coffee. Think I will stick with the Green Diner or even Eli's.
I've never really been a big fan of the kind of restaurant where the menu has five pages. It usually means that almost nothing is fresh, and they try to cater to the lowest common denominator. I've only been for breakfast, but it certainly seemed to follow suit.
Yogurt with granola and honey wasn't particularly good. The yogurt was most likely spooned out of a larger container, the granola was from a box and boring, and it was served with two packets of Kraft honey. All this for eleven dollars. Plus tip.
The home fries were pre-cooked and tasted like it. Kind of mushy, bad mouth feel, and sort of crappy overall. At least the copious amounts of ketchup that I had to put on it was fine.
I would not go back unless I was extremely hungry and there were no other options.
A delightful little eatery in my neighborhood in Yorkville in a spot that is otherwise dominated by residential hi-rises. It has large diner-like menu and a great brunch special on weekends. The service is very good and it is always easy to get a table. Looking forward to more good experiences here.
Once in a while I drop by Timmy's to fill my belly when I don't feel like cooking.
This place has a good breakfast, large menu, and it's not a typical diner atmosphere. I little more thought seemed to be put into this place when designing it.
I notice that the menu is a bit pricier from the other diners in the area, but the waitstaff is very attentive. They have outdoor seating which is a nice perk. Large space that seems like a great place for families or a low-key meal.
Brunch on weekends does seem to draw a lot of parents with kids so beware! Guess it's also because it's across from the Asphalt Green soccer field where many have just come from.
As I am dieting it's fairly easy to choose healthy from a diner menu – you just have to have the willpower. Got home late from work the other night and dropped by for a salad. Greek chicken salad – feta cheese, olives, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers and grilled chicken breast. Hold the anchovies – yuck! Dressing on the side. Salad is huge, fresh, and more than enough to fill you up. A bit pricey at almost $16 but worth it if you don't feel like cooking and just want to relax and enjoy a meal.
Not a destination spot as it's on the far east side in Yorkville, but a solid locals diner.
