Wow. What seemed like an IHOP wannabe turned out to be what IHOP could only dream.STAMP all the food, the atmosphere, and the service with a 5.0.DeAnna B was the bomb!

No it from the area, but came by for brunch while I was nearby. The menu is great. Very reasonably priced and the portions are very American (large! . My waiter was named Christian. He was very attentive super nice and the food came out easily within 10min. I ordered the veggie skillet with pancakes and a mimosa as well. The orange juice was fresh squeezed! Definitely come by and support this establishment. Thank you Christian!

Just ordered the biscuits and gravy. Took one bite and threw them out. The biscuits were fine, but the gravy was hands down the worst gravy I have ever tasted in my life. The only flavor to the gravy was overwhelming pepper.

Lumes never fails to impress. But to give an honest review, I'll start with the cons first. Sometimes when you walk in there, you see many open tables but you still have to wait to be seated. I think that has to do with the amount of servers that could only serve a maximum amount of tables. Also there have been rare times when you're waiting a long time for someone to come around for coffee refills...again, it's rare but it's a pet peeve. Lastly, they don't do nearly enough with weekly (or weekend) specials. It's an opportunity to temporarily roll out new, creative dishes to test what should be added to the menu permanently. They should visit the crispy waffle to see that there are three special dishes that you can order on a Saturday morning. We are there so much, that the menu tends to get stale and would appreciate some new choices.Now for the pros. The wait staff is absolutely impeccable. Out of the six or so servers that they have on the weekends, there is only one that we don't like...but honestly, It's only because she's all business. Almost every one of the servers knows exactly how we like our coffee and they bring it to the table without even asking which we love.The food is always very good. Without exaggeration, we have probably eaten at this location in Willowbrook 175 times in the last 2 years. In all that time, I had only two or three complaints about the food. And as it turns out, the worst one was actually my fault. Each time, they asked if they could get me something else. That's great customer service.The hostess is always greet us with a smile when we walk in the door and sometimes we even get a visit by the owner at our table.Lumes in near Willowbrook is the very definition of what a restaurant should be.
