This diner employs the criminally insane.George’s Lincoln Park diner is an unassuming breakfast/lunch counter joint in a strip mall. It looks like the kind of place you would see in Triple D on Food Network. Upon ordering you realize it more like a place from Kitchen Nightmares.In hindsight I should have known I was in for a mistake when I heard the tireless toil of microwave buttons in the kitchen. I rarely think of a dish that come out better in the micro. The other big red flag should have been when they told us that the french toast was presoaked, as if bread dunked in eggwash couldn’t be a made to order dish.The real highlight of the meal was when we found no cheese in the 3 item (cheese, mushroom, green peppers) omelette. Our server assured us she entered it into the computer from across the restaurant. We asked for the cheese as the eggs were still steaming and I love inter table cooking, what we got for this request will go down in infamy for all of time.Approximately 6 minutes later we were brought a saucer of yellow sludge. Confidently our server exclaimed “I had them melt it for you” to which we affably and uncomfortably smiled. Aha! The microwave duly at work.If it were 1975 (my guess of its opening date based on the original decor still on display) this meal may have blown back our coiffed hairdos, but I’m certain George is rolling in his grave for the experience had within the walls of his namesake.If this is your weekly hang, carryon, but if you’re hungry and have never been, keep it that way.

The food was top notch! Best onion rings, phenomenal!! Best batter around. The burger was a generous size, done to perfection and on a fresh, soft Kaiser roll. Tara, our server was very attentive and she was such a great worker. It has a local feel and even had an outlet along with built in usb charging ports.
