3 Stone Family Diner

DO NOT GO HERE - Especially for a take home holiday meal. It was just me and my wife for Thanksgiving this year so we ordered the premade Thanksgiving meal from here. We ordered a week in advance, in person. There were choices - Turkey or ham, mashed or sweet potatoes, vegtables and stuffing. We ordered (in person, not on the phone) the turkey with mashed potatoes, gravey on the side with corn and stuffing. My mistake was not checking everything when I picked it up. Both meals for my wife and me were in seperate foil containers. Stuffing covered in turkey, sweet potatoes (NOT MASHED), corn with everything covered in gravy. All in one container. The food was so inedible that even our dogs wouldn't eat the turkey, the stuffing was like concrete from sitting in all the gravey and we don't

The food was okay and the service was fine, but I really have to question the pricing. I don’t mind paying for a good meal, but I ordered two kids’ French toasts — which turned out to be just one slice of bread cut in half, with nothing else included — and they were $7.00 each. Seriously? One piece of French toast for that price is outrageous. I do understand that the cost of everything is up, but come on. It’s a shame, because I live nearby and would love to support a local spot, but I won’t be going back.

This diner employs the criminally insane. George’s Lincoln Park diner is an unassuming breakfast/lunch counter joint in a strip mall. It looks like the kind of place you would see in Triple D on Food Network. Upon ordering you realize it more like a place from Kitchen Nightmares. In hindsight I should have known I was in for a mistake when I heard the tireless toil of microwave buttons in the kitchen. I rarely think of a dish that come out better in the micro. The other big red flag should have been when they told us that the french toast was presoaked, as if bread dunked in eggwash couldn’t be a made to order dish. The real highlight of the meal was when we found no cheese in the 3 item (cheese, mushroom, green peppers) omelette. Our server assured us she entered it into the computer f

My family always comes here for a quick bite whenever we get a chance to be together. We happened to go on Father’s Day and the owner surprised our table by taking care of the bill for us. The waitress had come to our table to let us know that owner likes to choose a family once a week as a giving back gesture and comps their bill and that our family was chosen. It was so sweet and we asked to meet him to thank him. He said he saw our daughter and said “the kids are our future” in Spanish. It was beautiful. Plus the food is always tasty and the waitress was very personable and polite and friendly throughout the dining experience. 🩷

The waiter is nice. the food is just ok . Their system didn't allow for modification so when we asked for a quesadilla without meat we got charged for chicken. $15 for a small tortilla and cheese. The other items were priced pretty normal for diner rates. Miss when you could go in here and chat with everyone and have an awesome home-cooked meal.
