Here visiting relatives in the area, they took me to Vienna Diner for breakfast. I really enjoyed the experience. The food was great and so was the service! I thought prices were very reasonable for the portion size. A home run!

Close to the highway, modest, military-friendly diner with good service and the best-tasting light, crispy bacon.

We are so glad that we pulled off the exit and tried this down home diner. My husband loved his open faced pork sandwich and my mushroom Swiss burger was delicious. Everyone was friendly. Prices are so good. We’d stop again if we were passing by.

Stopped on our way out of town and was NOT disappointed! Probably the best potato soup I've ever had, including Grandmas homemade (we don't have to tell HER that though right?) My son got the 12" pizza and it was so good he grabbed another for the ride home. Burgers were huge and overall portions were excellent. So good in fact, I only ate a 1/4 and brought the rest for our drive home! Service was great, even after it got busy for the lunch rush. Very impressed! Would definitely add it to your itinerary when you're in the area

Everything is great. We even had a problem paying with American Express and they don't accept it. We were able to work through the problem with their help. Very friendly very good food Great place to eat.

We were passing through this part of Illinois, and happened upon this lovely diner. We ordered the taco salad and the gyro deluxe. The cream of chicken and rice was very tasty, I had ordered as a side. Fast and fresh food. Filling portions, and reasonable prices.

Amazing experience! The atmosphere is cozy yet modern, the staff is super friendly and attentive, and the food is absolutely delicious – fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Great drinks too. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Boss - Dona, is the greatest here ! Very friendly

Had the eggs and sausage with gluten free toast. Hubby had the country breakfast. Coffee was great!
