Whitney St Diner 30 North Whitney Street, Grayslake, IL 60030

"100% old school diner and a staple of Grayslake. Absolutely nothing fancy or pretentious about this small space. Generous portions at reasonable prices. Extra buttered toast, amazing skillets, and friendly no nonsense staff. Love this village and old school vibe this place emanates."

"Kind of old timey, but very sweet. The staff here is very nice, and the food is good. I love their waffles, and they have good soups. Their fruit is quite fresh and the coffee is always hot. I like their eccentric mugs :) It's usually a nice quiet place, depending on the patrons."

"Decided to try a new place for breakfast. Whitney Street Diner was our choice. Nice clean restaurant with a wonderful staff. The homemade Corned Beef Hash was really good as were the eggs. The bell peppers and onion were perfectly seasoned and grilled. I would describe it as Fajita Hash. But the Biscuits and Gravy were extremely delicious. The Gravy was mild, not salty with a good amount of ground black pepper. Just enough spice! Sorry but the potatoes were just ok. My lady said the Waffle was light and delicious. A great experience."

"Finally got around to dining here a couple of weeks ago and after leaving, my wife and I both agreed we already wanted to come back soon. Cozy lil diner in a very old setting boasts a great Mexican/American menu with good prices and friendly down-to-earth service. This is one thing I really enjoy is good ol' traditional home cooking. When it comes to breakfast I'm definitely old school and don't need anything fancy. Gimme a couple of eggs up, some sausage patties, lotsa hash browns, toast to dip in the yolk and a cup of coffee.......I'm a happy man! I would imagine this place is in direct competition with Fred's nearby which I've only been to once but knowing I've already been there is why I had to try this place and we love these guys as well. I don't get out to this area too often being I've been living in Beach Park since April of '03, formerly lived in Round Lake for over 13 years which was much closer but didn't know about this place then. Definitely my kind of breakfast venue and always happy to support local. We'll be back soon!"

"Updated review. 8/14/22 we tried the buffet upstairs only on sundays for the first time and was blown away by the food and atmosphere is different then downstairs. The people that work there are very hard working and eager to help make you experience a better one. Family owned! Updated review. I love Whitney's! I come all the time now. I like this place, it's old school. It does need a little update. I've gone 2x and food comes out fast."
