Chicago Diner
581 Elm Pl,
Highland Park, IL
ph: 847-433-1228

Accepts Visa, Master Card, American Express, Discover and Diners Club. A delicious selection of healthy, vegetarian cuisine which is fresh, natural and home made is offered here at reasonable prices. That is, if you are not turned away at 8:30pm from a rude waiter who doesn''t wish to work until the 9pm closing time posted on the door.

I had once enjoyed eating at this restaurant and had recommended it to friends and family. The salads, veggie burgers and desserts are all delicious, as is everything I had tried on the menu.

Unfortunately the waitstaff are not always the most dedicated to their employment positions. A friend and I were recently looking forward to a healthy meal here. We arrived at 8:30pm, half an hour before the 9pm closing posted on the door. The rude waiter told us that they had decided to shut early for the evening. We expressed that we had been looking forward to a delicious meal and that the restaurant was supposed to be open until 9pm. The waiter lashed back that he had only made $2 that evening and wasn't prepared to hang around to serve us. With that sort of attitude, I'm surprised he even managed to make $2. When will he lean that tips are based on good service? If you are seeking some great vegetarian food, give the Highland Park location a miss unless you know the wait staff enjoy their work, and head to the Chicago location instead at:
3411 N. Halstead,
Chicago, IL
773-935-6696
Call ahead for closing times so that you will not be disappointed.
