Steven’s Family Restaurant

I dined here with my wife and son on Monday February 1^st. My son ordered the spaghetti kids mean with $ 1 up charge Alfredo (great deal). My wife the glazed pork chop special, and I enjoyed the corn flake chicken.
The soups were house made and hot and plentiful. My son enjoyed chicken noodle and I Navy Bean. My wife had a salad, all of her salad ingredients were fresh, tomato, cucumber, and even some cauliflower. and a radish.
Rolls accompanied the soup, and some DELICIOUS muffins. Not quite sweet but almost dessert like.
Our meals came out and everything was cooked perfectly and delicious.
For dessert sy son enjoyed a small gelato, my wife a normal serving Gelato and i enjoyed the french silk pie. all were delicious, although i will try the blueberry pie on my next visit.
$ 35 with tip. Good service. I will return.

I use to live right around the corner from Stevens. I love this family restaurant. Now I live 45 mins away from here and they are still an option for lunch or dinner. There food is pretty good, and they’re generous with there portions.

omg… do NOT order the
broiled «greek» chicken… you would expect lucious golden chicken with a lovely lemony taste… not the pile of chicken covered in gray goo. suposedly a «gravy» YUCK AND MORE YUCK… poor waitress… I told her it was discusting… should have just left… never will come here again.

I like it here. they have your typical selection of a family restaurant. portions are large. salads are great. not a huge fan of their breakfast foods. but dinner i enjoy their patty melts and soup selection is good.

The service is good! The food is mediocre but it isn’t bad if you’re on a budget. They have combos where it comes with a dessert (your choice of cake or pies). I didn’t like the bread they served before dinner. They tasted really stale. Overall, the food is okay.

On arriving no one was available for seating, after waiting along with another family I went to the kitchen area to find the host. When the waitress finely arrived she was in a rush and semi friendly. On the plus side my breakfast was good.

Solid, if unexceptional breakfast. We’ve driven past many times, but only pulled the trigger because mom and dad were in town and looking for something to eat after my son’s gym meet. No complaints.

I love this place! I always get breakfast when I’m here– the pancakes alone are enough for two meals! The servings, pancakes aside, always are generous. The food is always fresh and the staff doesn’t waste time in bringing out the food!
There always is plenty of room for large families, but you may have to wait a bit if you come Sunday morning/​afternoon. This seems to be the place to be after church! No matter how busy, the staff is always sweet. The owners walk around and try to greet as many tables as they can. It’s always great to see when owners make an effort to be more personal with their guests.
The parking lot gets pretty hectic because of the setup, but great place to have some brunch!

Classic family breakfast spot. Had steak and eggs. Excellent. My date had the pumpkin pancakes. Far better than i thought fast service. Decent prices.

We go here at least three times a month and it is always great. The waiters are very nice. It’s great for all ages. The have a big food selection for breakfast, lunch, and dinner but I recommend breakfast. I love this restaurant!

I like frequenting here because it’s consistent, convenient, good, good value, fast, and the cakes /​gelato is a nice bonus.

Breakfast: Order San Francisco Eggs Benedict with avacado
Lunch/​Dinner: Order Black Russian Sandwich
Dinner: Broasted Chicken
Dessert: Try Gelato or my favorite Key Lime Pie. Enjoy… if your lucky enough to be served by Jen or Sam you will always be back!

Good dependable Chicago Greek diner. Large menus with all the usual suspects. Breakfast skillets and omelette’s are all very good.
Lunch and dinner sandwiches and clubs are tasty (my wife loves the club).
Service has always been dependable so this place is always a safe bet.

Got right in on Saturday morning. I’m pregnant and have been on a seven month quest for the perfect restaurant bacon. Found it!!! Bacon was crispy and thin — I have been dreaming of this bacon.
Stevens Belgian waffle — pineapple, banana and strawberry. It’s like a waffle fruit salad.
Five stars!!!

This place was very delicious and absolutely filling. A lot of food for not that much. I had «Steven’s Favorite» which was an omelet with ham, onions, green peppers, mushrooms and American cheese. I definitely recommend this place! Not to mention the service was wonderful and food was quickly served!

I am not excited about Steven’s. It’s pretty good for breakfast but doesn’t offer anything out of the ordinary or special. If I’m in the area and feel like breakfast, I go to Steven’s but wouldn’t go out of my way to go there.

I always come in when I’m back in town; so yay! I’m a fan. Particularly of their gyro platter and their cream of chicken! I find that level of comfort food is extremely satisfying. I feel the prices are reasonable, especially when you get a soup/​salad and desert for a dinner meal.
I’m also a fan of their friendliness! The owner almost always greats us at the door if he’s not occupied with something in back. Even if he’s not there, someone else greats us in similar manner which adds to the comfort level. And the waitresses are always just as friendly if not sweet!
From what I’ve seen, the place is well-​kept witha relaxing atmosphere. So I always feel I’ve come home with a trip here.

A friend and I went to Stevens Family Restaurant last Saturday evening for the first time.
The parking is plentiful and we were seated almost right away. The menu is typical for a Chicagoland Greekateria. There are plenty of choices. I was genuinely surprised that there is no Wi-​Fi at this place. Points off for that.
The service was fine. Our server, a woman, was very attentive and friendly.
The food itself was mediocre and uninspired. I had a salad. It was large and I easily could have shared it.
I have to say that the men’s room was not in the best shape. The trash container was overflowing with used paper towels and the soap dispensers were not doing their thing. The floors were dirty. I did not get daring enough to check out the stall.
Had there been reliable Wi-​Fi and well kept washrooms, I think that I would have bumped up the stars to three.
Overall, I would say that as less expensive option with a wide ranging menu, this place would be OJ, in a pinch, for most families looking for something quick in the western suburbs.
I think that The Omega, on Ogden Avenue in Downers Grove, will continue to be my choice over Stevens Family Restaurant.

Did I catch you on a bad day? After discovering Woodridge Caffe has changed their hours, (as their doors were locked at 6:15 am) this was plan B. It’s been over a decade since I was a regular here.
I said to my server, «it’s been years since I have been here,» my server April was hell bent on doing her morning chores and could care less, as apposed to making me feel welcome. Don’t bother with the «high five» check in, they’re not amused. #DinerPhotos
No WiFi, less than friendly, unattentive wait staff, whose only concern is doing their early moring shift chores. If the bad weather wasn’t looming, I would have traveled elsewhere. Don’t see the need for a return visit, prices are on the high side. I usually pay less for a bacon waffle and coffee than here. I usually tip 30%+ for breakfast, but not this morning.

One morning I made my way out to Stevens restaurant in Woodridge. I’d like to give a good reason as to why I made a reasonably significant trip from my house like «I happened to be in the area» or «I heard good things from a friend» but if I were to say either, it would be a lie. I made my way out to Steven’s Restaurant largely because I had visited most other pancake houses in my immediate vicinity and specifically went to try some place new.
I snapped some pictures of the outside and walked in, at most breakfast diners I visit there’s a hostess or someone to great you. I got a good chance to look around and snap a few more photos without anyone staring at me, as it was completely empty in front. It took a couple of minutes for someone to come out and show me to a table and hand me a menu. Once I looked over the menu options I settled on a Greek skillet with pancakes, I’m a big fan of gyro meat and have had excellent Greek skillets other places in the past. I also admittedly checked my Unilocal app and saw someone else recommend it. A few minutes later the waitress had come by and I ordered.
Then the wait began, it was well over twenty minutes before my food was ready. With no one up front when I came in, and such a slow turnaround time this was quite disappointing. For a wait that long I was hoping I was in store for an amazing skillet, or at least stellar pancakes.
To start off with the skillet, the egg was scrambled into one big lump on top of my skillet, usually it’s a little better distributed on the top. I took my fork and started slicing it into pieces so that I could better distribute it among the rest of the contents. The Gyro meat used was fine, and the feta cheese used was a good compliment, but there wasn’t enough of either the gyro meat or the cheese. There was a small amount of pepper and onion mixed in as well. This skillet was mostly made up of potato, now that in and of itself isn’t a huge problem is the potato is seasoned well, crisp and tasty. But this was mostly lines of potato hash strewn about the bottom of the skillet, just filler potato with no added flavor.
The pancakes were average, no powdered sugar or anything fancy. They held together well, were decent sized and the syrup to compliment them was of a good viscosity so as not to water them down and added to the flavor. However, while these were adequate they weren’t enough to save the meal.
Overall I’ve definitely had a lot better places for skillets, Greek skillets and pancakes than Steven’s Restaurant. And I’ve had quite a few worse. I’d say my food was slightly below average and while service was more than friendly, it was super slow, especially since I was the only customer in the restaurant up to the point where I was served. I’m going to give it two stars and rate it below average. My quote to remember with this place is with slow service like this, they definitely put the «Rest» in the name Stevens Restaurant.
