Deluxe Diner

I cant believe the bad reviews I saw on this page the bad thing is they kept me from trying this diner for sometime when my friend asked me to meet her there i did .The food was great you could tell everything is made there , Ive worked restaurants when I was in school at such places like navy pier bubba gumps were everything is way over priced . The food at the diner was really great my server (Terry) was a real nice lady freindly makes you feel so welcomed I now go there on regular basis with my family. So the only thing I can think of is the people who write those terriable reveiws must not have much of a life and enjoy hurtig people. Honestly try this place youll be glad you did. Pros: food service nice people more

It's never gonna be haute cuisine, but ALWAYS fast, hot, good, and dependable! more

the skillets are my favorite =) more

Meat-lovers skillet travels well and arrived warm and intact! more

I have a feeling that the people who said the service was bad was because they are expecting Lincoln Park service. I have found that the people who work there are down to earth and will be quick if you tell them to be. I like the calm, relaxed attitude and the old school blue collar feel. Make sure you try their italian beef sandwich on the submarine with some cheese on it. They seriously have the BEST italian beef besides Al's. If you are nice to waiters they will be nice to you... very enjoyable. Pros: Italian Beef, the waiting staff Cons: Might be a little slow for some more

Deluxe has pretty good food, what you would expect for the prices, and I love any 24hr breakfast place. The service was lacking though, it took a long time to get our food even though it wasn't busy. It's a great place for late night cravings though, and convenient to Loyola's campus. more

I can't believe this place has such a good rating. I had to write a review to help correct that. I ate here when it 1st opened and found it pretty good & very crowded. I went again and found it less crowed and terrible food and service in 2004. In 2005-2006 I worked near it and tried it again. I found the service unspeakably horrible and the food just as bad. Ispoke to others in the area who all agreed it was not good place. A few said with the lack of cheap eats in the area they would return but stuck with what they knew and couldn't be messed up easily. The meatloaf which you'd expect to be good at a diner- is by far the worst I've ever ordered. Stick with the eggs if you must go and be sure to not have any plans afterwards since it will take forever. Pros: not much elsein area Cons: bad food and service more

I frequently visit this diner on the weekends for breakfast. They have great skillets and recently they serve delicious carrot muffins as garnishment. The food portions are great for the price. The place gets pretty busy and under the circumstances, the service is decent. With the colorful plates and colorful servers t-shirts gives a lively ambience to the place. The place has been pretty clean, but bathrooms need upgrading, which I was told is under consideration. I give this place thumbs up. Pros: great food, great value for money, no smoking Cons: bathroom needs upgrad more

This must be the WORST service I have ever experienced. When I placed my delivery order, I was told it would arrive within the hour. When it arrives an hour and a half later, multiple items were missing. I called to ask about the items and opted for redelivery over store credit. After a SECOND hour and half and not receiving my items, I called back again. I was told that if I wanted the items it would be A THIRD hour or more (but they would be happy to give me store credit). Why anyone would want store credit to go back to a place that has taken over FOUR HOURS (and counting) to get the original order correct is beyond me. Not sure about anyone else but I have yet to find a restaurant that is worth a 4+ hour wait. Save yourself the trouble and order elsewhere. more

You get so much for your money. Great burgers and definitely try the cornbread skillet! Pros: food, location, parking Cons: smoking section more

The food is your standard diner fare. Decent sized burgers, decent selection and a nice diner atmosphere. My only complaint would be the somewhat slow service. Despite all this, i head there on a pretty regular basis because it's open late and the food is pretty tasty. There is a parking lot across the street, but even that fills up. Definitely a good place to head if you've been out drinking, need some sobering up food and live near Clark & Devon. Pros: parking lot, 24 hours, pretty tasty food Cons: kinda slow service, had to ask for check more

Good American standards served with a watermelon slice. Free Jelly Bellys at the counter. Once, I saw a fight here, but such things are rare. Good fare, sassy waitstaff. more
