“De Mar's in Blue Island, IL is a must-visit for anyone in the mood for classic American diner fare. The restaurant has a cozy, old-school feel that instantly transports you to a simpler time. Every time I sit down in a booth it makes me feel like i can talk about nothing, (a Seinfeld reference). The menu is full of classic diner dishes, from hearty breakfast options to juicy burgers and sandwiches to homemade soups and salads. I particularly enjoyed the Tuna melt, which was perfectly put together with just the right amount of cheese and tune on white bread. The French toast was also excellent, with a soft and fluffy texture that melted in my mouth. But if you want the traditional, just order the all American breakfast, 2 sunny side up eggs with hash browns and two slices of bread, along with a cup of coffee. Everything is delicious. The staff at De Mar's are friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. They were quick to offer suggestions on what to order and were always on hand to refill drinks or answer any questions. The restaurant itself is clean and well-maintained, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. There is plenty of seating, so you won't have to wait long to be seated, and the prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and service. Overall, I highly recommend De Mar's to anyone looking for a traditional American diner experience. So if you are in the area of Blue Island this restaurant It's a gem, that I plan on returning to in the future.“
“I love this place! They are always very friendly when we come in and it's never super busy. Their food is reasonably priced and it tastes delicious. My current favorite menu item is their burger and fries. It's always so fresh and the fries are so crispy. My partner always gets their tacos and they love them! They always come with so much food it's like getting a second meal for later. I also love seeing all of the specials they post on their Facebook page. They update it frequently with their offerings and I love seeing the new stuff they bring to the menu.“
“Been coming here for a while, food is always fresh and good!I always ask for Erika because she’s always on point with the orders from what I have been receiving.I’ve also had Dishawn and he’s amazing as well!It does get busy in there during lunch hours but you won’t be disappointed in the end!“
“Perfect American diner experience. Delicious pancakes, prompt and friendly service, and an atmosphere that makes you feel at home, even if you're visiting a strange city. If I'm ever on this side of Cicero again, I will certainly be thinking of this place. Would absolutely recommend for anyone who wants hot food at a good price!“
“We ordered breakfast and lunch.. The ham and cheese omelet was fluffy, hot, and delicious. The potatoes are crispy and hot. The sausage gravey was delicious. The chicken & rib combo was delicious. The chicken was crispy and juicy. The ribs fall off the bone.. Lemon rice soup wash delicious and hot too.. Thank You, and Happy New Year....Parking: Paring is on the side of the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Yes it is.“
“Service was poor in that my coffee cup was empty and nobody came around to see if I wanted more. On the other hand, I ordered two eggs over easy. Many restaurants around her serve them and they still have a film topping the yolks. TN's were perfectly cooked with no film. It is one of my nitpicky items when dining out.“
“The height of Covid when all businesses were closed in chicago.. this little hidden food oasis kept their doors open.. and as a result..became my favorite breakfast restaurant almost weekly.. I’ve never had a bad experience.. they don’t miss.. thanks guys for your hospitality and great comfort “
“I've been here for breakfast and dinner. Good food, decent prices and friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. I noticed The Wheel and Round The Clock have same menu, I don't know who acquired who but I think I get my money's worth at The Wheel seeing you get soup and dessert with dinners.“
“LOVE LOVE LOVE ❤️ This place ?Service is always great even when they're super busy. I get food to go. I am a home healthcare provider, and several of my clients order food from there . Eventually, I started ordering food from there. And I now understand why they do. ?“
“We went to this restaurant for the first time after passing by it daily for years. Some friends asked us to join them there and we agreed not knowing what to expect. It is now my go to place for breakfast at dinner or any other time. I have fallen in love with the way they make their waffles. The next time we went I encouraged one of my friends to have the waffle and she also agreed that the waffle was excellently made. So, So, So, light and airy, flavorful, yet not at all soft or mushy on the outside (how they do it consistently I want to know). Just the way we liked it. Never had a restaurant captured all of this in a waffle that I have seen. You can also have it made with all kinds of toppings. My hubby loves the skillets. I am a pescatarian so I had the chicken. They allowed me to adjust my order for a small upcharge to wings instead of the chicken fillets. The portion size is very generous. Each time I have gone (so far) almost everyone in the group took home food from their meal. We will also return, just the two of us, because we both loved the ambiance and atmosphere.Dietary restrictions: I am a pescatarian.“
“Let me eat huge daily special plates for free as a dishwasher when I was starving homeless in other people's homes unlike the rest of the greedy restaurants. Even offered very discounted monthly hotel across the street. I used to walk miles in the high snow for that check.“
“A great first polish food experience for my party. We loved the family owned mom and pop vibes. Very friendly staff, service was fantastic, food was tasty. The owners were hanging out with locals and came to our table to ask how we liked the food. Highly recommend the potato pancake dipped in sour cream and applesauce, which I learned is a polish tradition. Will definitely be back!!“
“Food was good, prices were good. They had my favorite hot sauce (Louisiana) the staff were great. Three things that I say need improvement. The toast was a little too toasted, there was no grape jelly, and there was just a single cheese option. I would add at least 2 more options.“
