"Around The Clock Restaurant Bakery serves Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, but here, breakfast is the busiest meal of the day. This is a typical American Diner/Coffee Shop, with a lively Coffee Shop vibe, like so many other Greek owned Coffee Shops that used to dot Chicago. That means that places like this usually have a few Greek dishes scattered throughout the menu, like flaky Spanakopita spinach feta cheese pie), creamy-chicken-lemon rice soup they don 't call it Avgolemono here), Souvlaki a Greek pork kabob in pita, but here it 's chicken), roasted or grilled lamb but no lamb here unless it 's a special), Gyros in the case here, it 's pre-sliced and packaged, not on a spool), and of course, a big Greek Salad with oregano, anchovies, feta, olives. But Around The Clock Restaurant does seem to have some Greek dishes available, but not many, unless they are off the menu for regulars who are 'in-the-know '. My guess is that the new kitchen staff who took over from the old owners simply don 't know how to cook Greek food anymore. Breakfast items crowd at least four pages of the menu here, with eggs any style, including Benedicts, Omelets, and Skillets. Waffles are also served, as well as Pancakes, thick French Toast, and one of my favorites, 3 thin Crepes for 8.95. And if you arrive early enough to get their Southern Sausage Gravy they stop making it at 1:00 PM and it 's sells out quickly), you can get a gravy smothered Country Fried Steak, either Beef or Chicken $1 replaces your toast with a pancake). Also, some breakfasts Do Offer a slight Greek element, like Gyros meat added to your omelet or eggs. But the most special breakfast items here are the fresh pastries, breads, muffins, all baked on site. Yum. Cakes, Pies, and Cookies are baked here as well, but alas, no Baklava. Lunch here is also typical diner food, offering Burgers, Sandwiches, Soups the French Onion is good), Salads, and even a classic Retro Monte Carlo. The seafood offerings are Salmon, Catfish, Shrimp Cod. There 's also Greek Souvlaki, Fried Chicken, Hot Open-Faced Turkey or Beef sandwiches, Steaks, Spaghetti, and other items that lean more towards Mexican food than Greek about 6 to 10 items), with two Asian inspired dishes Chinese Chicken Salad Chop Suey), and they even offer Jambalaya, sort of an odd outlier here. My favorite lunch at Around The Clock is their Friday, Saturday, Sunday Prime Rib Special. It is under 25.00 and comes with fresh bread butter, soup or salad, and two sides. But you have to like your prime rib cooked to medium, because I have yet to see a slice that 's even close to rare. Dinner has pretty much the same menu as lunch. However what I didn 't mention is that Round the Clock has a full Fountain service, with pies a la mode, ice cream sodas, plus splits and sundaes. One last Note is that this is in no way a cheap place. Onion Soup is just under 6.00, Burgers are just shy of 13.00, Broiled Cod is just under 17.00, Fish Tacos are a bit under 18.00, and decent steaks here are around 23 dollars. However, there is a kids menu, and seniors get 10% off if you ask for it. Around The Clock Restaurant Bakery is open weekdays from 7AM to 10PM, and weekends Sat Sun) from 6AM to Midnight. Good Hours."

"My wife had the stuffed squash blossoms that were so divine she would close her eyes savoring each bite. She also had the flat bread. I had the filet that was so tender it could be cut with a fork. The long term staff make service always top notch. They're like family because they are. The entire dining experience at 1776 is first class."

"First timer to this beautiful corner café. Immediately walking through the door, his obvious that this café loved well. I just arrived at lunchtime and it seemed like everyone else. I took my place at the counter where I was quickly welcomed by several employees. The menu is full of seductive breakfast options and lunch fare. When I look for the California Turkey Sandwich, my page options seem numerous, but I decided to make the soup a hot tub. The chicken rice soup was hot and tasteful. In a few moments the sandwich arrived. Piled high with fresh crunchy veggies and thick sliced turkey, the sandwich proved to be quite delectable...and fill could I add. When I enjoyed my lunch, numerous males came in and I was pleased to see that many of their first names were greeted. Love this little jewel. I'll be back!"

"Ancient Antigua in Crystal Lake is an excellent restaurant that probably needs more wait staff. The food was very good; however, when the wait staff seemed overworked; yet, really tried hard to respond to the overwhelming demand of the diners, you know that it is time to consider more help. I really felt sorry for our waiter; he really hustled without ever losing his cool. The recipes and style of the items are different from the run of the mill eateries of Mexican cuisine available in Florida where I live; however, I did enjoy these variations on the themes (always a desirable attribute in my book. If I lived here, I would look forward to variations to try! TIP: the portions are massive; hence, SHARE (which also allows your to sample more options... The frozen Margarita machine was broken; but, on the rocks style was OK."
