The Breakers Restaurant

"I was so disappointed! Food used to be the best in the area. Today nothing had it's flavor. Drinks definitely not what we order, I order a Mai Tia, it was definitely not what I order. Service was not friendly. What happened ?????"

"Was very disappointed on this visit. Egg roll was over cooked. Egg Foo Young was tasteless. And the glass of water tasted like it came out of the lake. Previous visit some months ago was very good but not so this time. The waitress was excellent wish the food was too."

"Did carry out. The entries are much better than the past. A cozy atmosphere as usual and a great selection of sports from the bar. A good bartender (try the pink squirrel) an ice cream drink."

"Another landmark restaurant in Crystal Lake. Built in 1949, it still exudes the vibes. (Except for the glow of the gambling machines, but anyway) The entire place has fantastically gaudy, tiki-bar-type accents that set tone. Especially the grass skirt type fringe around the edge of the bar. One is immediately transported to some forgotten high-school/college memory that may or may not be a fond one... but I digress. Egg rolls are really good. Not greasy. Our visiting friends were craving the rolls they remembered, and they didn't disappoint. Also, the Mai Tais and whatever unique juice they put in them work well as potent counterbalance! They are red, clear, and addictive. This is one of those spots that pack out on weekends with the locals. If you aren't into the kitsch, you probably might want to skip it, but that and the food is PRECISELY what keeps all the other people coming back!"
