Hillside Family Restaurant – Grays Lake, IL

I love diners that are family owned and that is exactly what Hillside Family Restaurant is. While visiting my family we stopped off here for lunch.

I was excited to see that the soup of the day was chicken dumpling. I struck up a conversation with my server and she told me about how they make all the soups homemade everyday. You could tell as soon as you tasted the soup.

She also helped me select the sandwich I should try. I went for the Italian Beef.  The homemade roll was packed full of tender, thinly sliced beef. The peppers and onions added extra flavor and it was finished off with a layer of cheese. The au jus sauce came on the side and I barely used it because the meat was so juicy on its own.

The other great thing about Hillside is that they serve breakfast all day. I have to make sure that I come back so I can get breakfast for dinner.
