Omg we had such excellent service, friendly and quick to serve. Some one had the Spaghetti dinner that was amazing. I had a German pancake and it was huge, enough to share and have left overs . Definitely going back

This was not only the best place to eat. But I was a customer first then became a waitress. Wouldn't trade my boss for all the tea in China. The money I made was great took care of my bus boys. I had a good following. From Omega Downers Grove, Carol's Garden, Carol Stream. . Angels Luke's on Harlem.

I’ve been coming to Dapper’s since high school, and they have never disappointed. That’s why, when a group of car friends were looking to get together for breakfast, I knew there was only ONE place to go! Both times we’ve come (late October and today) our stomachs were filled, and our plates were cleaned. I love it here! Our waiter, Elias, was very attentive, and made sure our water glasses and coffee cups were topped off. The baked oatmeal tasted as good as it smelled! A+++ Hope to continue to come back for as long as I live.

First time at the West East American Diner! Seated immediately and our drinks order taken immediately - Fast customer service! For the appetizer we ordered the Mozzarella sticks which were good. For my main entree I got the Belgian waffle w/ pecans, side of Sweet Potato Fries, and two eggs sunny side up. The diner has an old school but lively ambiance. Definitely worth checking out for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Awesome all around. We had a party of 12 and every single one of our food items were accurate. Our waitress was great. She was very polite and attentive, really made all of us feel welcome My only complaint would be that the Country Fried Steak was overcooked, it was chewy and hard. I wouldn’t order it again, but would definitely go back and try other items from their menu. Everything else was good

Excellent breakfast (omelette and crepe), but coffee was flat. Angelo, Cindy, Esme were friendly.
