Mount Prospect, IL
The food is wonderful!
If you are a MAN-​well, all the better.
As a woman, have felt like a second rate citizen many times.
The mother treats me like an after-​thought EVERY time.
Hard to swallow.
The young lady and gentleman on the grill couldn’t have been nicer.
As I said, the breakfast is fantastic. Keep Hoping that my
next visit I will get the same smiles as my husband does-​We will see!

Great find … I’ve passed it for years but hadn’t stopped. I’m so happy I did … Comfy place with great breakfast food, hot coffee, and friendly staff. Just have to catch it before 2:00 pm.
Delicious, priced right, and friendly … Works for me !

Been here several times now since discovering it this summer. Great food, fast and attentive service by friendly staff, and very reasonable prices. What’s not to like?

Awesome breakfast. Tiny and busy. Divey place but friendly staff and you get a side of fresh sliced ham with everything. It’s great.

What’s better than ham with every meal! The friendliness of everyone here! Who doesn’t love a «Cheer’s» like atmosphere, where everyone knows your name and gives you hugs AND the food is delicious?

My first time here with my husband and I could say it’s been the best breakfast I’ve ever had! The employees and owner are so family friendly and very down to earth. Having a conversation with the everybody was great because they treated us like we were at home. We will for sure be back again for the amazing meal and great hospitality!

I have visited L & L many many a time. It is a family run business and Lisa and Ted her husband run the place. Both Lisa and Ted are very friendly people.
I can not eat eggs, but they make a variety of dishes that include eggs. I myself have had their pea soup. Very good. It has chunks of ham in it if I recall correctly. They make very good pancakes.
Fried ham. Very good and added to your plate no charge.
Liver and bacon and onions if you crave it.
A very well made patty melt.
Sweet rolls warmed up with butter.
Orange or apple juice.
Hot coffee or would you prefer tea?
The décor is very homey and with a country theme. They have pictures of chickens and statues of them too.
Do you want to sit at the counter or a booth?
They only take cash, so you better have it on hand.

I have only visited this place once and it had a small diner feel to it. The food was very delicious. There is one man on the griddle and he took care of the entire establishment. (It is not very big inside). Our server was very attentive. This place is not good for larger groups, but I definitely recommend it.

I was looking forward to going after reading all the reviews. I was.
I just don’t see how they get so many stars. Food okay. Staff very friendly. Slow in filling my coffee several times.
It just is not the spot for me. Trying to figure out why. Space is cramped. Had a Kodak moment I did not take. Just to my left a derrière at shoulder height sitting at the counter. Maybe 10 inches away?
Many older men come in. I think it is a great spot for them. Where they all know you. I don’t mind simple décor like Danny’s. Here is not my cup of tea.
You do get a big piece of ham.

One of my favorite breakfast places anywhere. I have been missing this place for to long because Mr. A’s is also very high on my list. I have rediscovered this gem and i’m so glad I did. I used to go here years ago but now I’m back. The pictures say it all. No matter what you order they always add a couple of small pieces of ham on your plate. If you order ham be prepared to eat half the pig. Mr. A’s gives you a ton of ham too but you pay for it. The biggest thing here is the value! Two can eat here for under $ 20 with tip.

Food was good. Nothing special. The service was awful and the waitress was extremely rude! I asked for a new coffee mug because mine was dirty and she never got over it.

Food was mediocre at best. The service was atrocious I mean it was bad they screwed up my order twice. The sausage was burnt an not edible at all. When I was done eating I finally see my waitress and she asked if I needed anything else I said no asked for my check gave her my credit card and she said its cash only. Nowhere on the menu that say cash only or anywhere else my daughters pancakes were burnt and no water. Eat somewhere else

Great place! Reasonably priced and great food. The ham is out of this world! A must have here. The waitress who took care of me and as I was told, been there for 30 yrs included with my breakfast a side of ham at no cost just to try it out. I did not order the ham and I was very surprised when she brought it out.
The only thing that stunk was the fact that they only accepted cash. I would probably of dropped a star for this but considering the hospitality and great food I received, I will let it be.
Well, I didn’t have any cash on me as usual and she let me go to the cash station a couple blocks away while I left my id there to grab some.
Overall a nice place to get great food and feel comfortable as well!

This place feels like a second family. Great food at unbelievable prices. It has not changed much in the 30 years I have gone. You won’t leave hungry.

Wow a trip down memory lane !
I haven’t been here in at least 9 years.
Raised my 3 sons here on Sunday breakfasts. This place was 5 star back then and still the best .
It’s a small family dinner that makes you feel like your right at home !!
Everything you order comes with ham off the bone ! It doesn’t say it on the menu but a pleasant surprise. The quality of the food hasn’t changed in all these years I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I used to get steak and eggs back then TENDER! juicy and still great.
It’s only 10 bucks. If you order 2 eggs you get 3 etc. The lady and her husband remembered me right away after all these years. Great price. Great food and Fantastic service. If your having a bad day then GO here. You’ll leave with a smile.
