Hillside - Grayslake

We ordered from DoorDash and have to say the food was still hot on delivery. The portion they sent over were perfect as if you were eating in their restaurant. We order the Mexican skillet and the NY steak with eggs and they surly did not disappoint. Would order from them again with no hesitation and would also recommend for those that don’t want to leave their homes.

It pains me to put down a small family business, but honestly, this place is not worth your time and even less so your money (or vice versa as this is quite subjective . The setting is Tarantinoesque. Even as you walk in, you can get an idea of what 's in store for you. The visually impaired, too, will be given plenty of ques as well to reconsider and walk out before it 's too late. Unfortunately, curiosity and hunger got the best of us. The evidently leaky ceiling, the fact that no one bothered to change the 6 stained tiles, the vintage aroma all point to a place that is well past its prime with a caretaker that doesn 't seem to care all that much. On the plus side, if you were hoping to dine in a poorly sealed time capsule, you hit the jackpot! On to the main course. The food, it has to be said, is an insult to your senses. A collection of the cheapest of the cheap ingredients. Warmed up or tossed in a fryer with oil tracing its lineage to the early 2000s (maintained with the philosophy of Only add, never change . The highlight of the meal was a glass of icy Coke, which, for some reason, did not taste moldy, defying overwhelming odds against it. By comparison, McDonald 's is a luxury culinary experience, deserving of at least a Michelin star. An interesting but oh so fitting peculiarity was that of the three sets of utensils presented, not one matched another. One of the forks was even a veteran of the magician heyday, bearing the scars and noodle like waves of repeated bending over countless performances. Lastly I will have to disappoint anyone invested in my rant, and say that the personnel was friendly and the service ok, so no complaints there. My advice to the owner would be It 's time to retire. Let someone new, with passion and vigor, breathe much much needed fresh air into your place. The memories will always stay but the decor can and should go. Take pride in the chapter that you wrote, the folks you fed over the years, but don 't linger on to see a holes like myself write mean but true things about your life 's work.

Great family-owned place. It's your typical Greek restaurant with delicious full breakfasts, homemade soups and salads for lunch and amazing complete dinners. There's even a bar of you like an adult beverage with your meal.

This past September was the first time in at least a couple of years dining in at this place. When it comes to a good ol ' fashioned American home cooked breakfast, Hillside is definitely on that list. I used to come here much more often when I was living in Round Lake from May '89- Nov '02 but after moving to Beach Park, not so much unless I 'm going to church which also happens to be in Grayslake which sadly isn 't that often since I usually start early Sunday nights on 3rd shift and I need my sleep. Nothing fancy or upscale but indeed just your typical American family restaurant serving up some good eats. Have never had anything but breakfast here which is delicious. I 'm often in the mood for some eggs up with toast to dip in the yolk, sausage and extra hashbrowns. Dining room is always clean, prices remain reasonable for the quality food served even as prices nationwide are climbing up and service is always super friendly. Since I 'm a bit of a foodie, I 'm all over the place so unfortunately I don 't get out to this venue as often as I 'd like to. I do love supporting local businesses and if I get that craving for a home cooked breakfast, I 'll try my best to get back to the Hillside.

Fantastic! Everything was perfect; food, ambience, server, beverages, view, everything. We both had the five course dinner and we were both delighted.
