Eli's Cafe and Pancake House American •
2731 18th St, Kenosha

“First visit and this is a very nice place. Everything is fresh and clean. Plenty of tables. The service was good, preferred more trips with the coffee pot and asking for refills on drinks. The meal was prepared to order and arrived hot to the table. I would advise asking for crispy hash brown potatoes when getting your meal. Otherwise a very nice place for breakfast and lunch!“

“Stopped by for the first time today after heading back home from a Wisconsin trip with my family and the BBQ was superb (Used to live in TN too!), but what really made it for me today was the service from the folks here, in particular, Kat! She was extremely kind to my whole family and 2 kids, and provided table service that most full service restaurants should! (This is a counter service restaurant- seriously above and beyond). 110% would recommend.Kid-friendliness: Staff is extremely accommodating for children.“

“Famous for its garbage plate, and being in Kenosha downtown for almost 100 years (opened back in 1926), Frank's Diner is definitely a great place and a home place for a lot of people. As someone who moved just to Kenosha last year, we have been trying to get in for a long time. The space is small, I mean very small, it is an old food truck/railcar kinda style, there are bar area and booth area. Expect a wait if you come on weekends. (As the sign in the diner says, the inner deco was legit haha) We came in Tuesday around noon and were able to sit right away at the bar, right opposite the stove and grill lol. It was quite a show watching the cook cook while we wait for our food, and I loved seeing it. Just a very local and family feeling. We had great food! The specials (Irish sausage and gravy, corned beef omelette) were tasty and the meat omelette was next level. The pancake is huge, and delicious for sure. The food is also priced well! Overall, nice experience, and we will come back again and hopefully also no wait next time!“

The fries seemed like they were double fried, they were standard with the meal, would try other options next time. Had 2 Red ales that were good as well.“

“See my UPDATE below. Hillcrest seemed to be on its way down. They cut their hours (now only breakfast and lunch) and discontinued their Senior Menu as well as their loyalty program.Still, they have great food at reasonable prices.UPDATE: Hillcrest seems to have survived what I thought was a bad business decision. Seems to be going strong. Try the (huge) Hillcrest omelette - maybe split it with a companion. Or try their delicious fruit crepes. My favorites are blueberry and strawberry. (HINT: ask 'em to warm the fruit.)BONUS: (for me at least) I like my bacon crisp and the Hillcrest cooks truly know how to prepare bacon that way! ??“

“I know we all take for granted our servers from time to time, but sometimes their efforts mean more than usual. I was here with my wife and 2 children to celebrate my birthday, but my children were both a WRECK (mostly hangry) this evening. I almost turned the car around twice on the way to dinner. Most parents have been there, going out to eat is often just not that relaxing with kids.Well, Alexia was our server tonight, and thanks to her, I had the best birthday dinner. She was SO PLEASANT. The kids got their lives together with the extra rolls and butter she got out right away. And everything else she did for us from there on out was top notch. Never wanted for anything, and all the extras and customizations we requested were brought on the first trip back with food.Don't know how often we'll be making the half hour trek to this location, though it is the closest to home, but I can guarantee when we do we will ask for Alexia every time. Thanks so much for giving my family an A+ experience in celebrating my birthday.Texas Roadhouse, Alexia better be on your radar for any and every opportunity available to her, cause if not, you're messing up.“

The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because I paid extra for ranch and the server forgot it all together. Server was very nice though! Food came quick as well!“
