Silver Stallion - Des Plaines

Delicious food at great prices. The atmosphere is always warm and inviting. I've been visiting this restaurant for many years and keep coming back for a comforting family meal. I particularly enjoy the meatloaf and mashed potatoes, and the hot beef dinner is another favorite of mine.

I really enjoy pancakes, and this place has them—real pancakes, not those tiny silver dollar ones. I like to call them "mancakes." They're a bit dry but have just the right touch of vanilla. These mancakes are so wonderful that they feel like they nourish the soul. I even dreamed about their pancakes! So, the next day, I came back and ordered a Skillet, which was also delicious.

We arrived early on a Sunday morning with a group of 20, and even though we hadn't given the restaurant much advance notice, they accommodated us in a private room off to the side. Our server was friendly and made sure our coffee cups were always full. They allowed us to take our time after we finished eating, letting us linger and chat without feeling rushed. Given the size of our group, the food was served quickly.

This restaurant has been a staple for quite some time, and I've been a regular for at least 15 years. Even though I live in the city, I still enjoy dining here from time to time. The breaded pork tenderloin sandwich is the absolute best, and the saganaki is fantastic! It's the perfect mom-and-pop eatery. I do think the variety in their bread basket used to be better, but overall, it's still great. It's an ideal spot for brunch!

This wonderful Greek restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by an impressive specials board showcasing a range of dishes, including prime rib and scrambled eggs, all expertly prepared. The waitstaff, especially George, are experienced and handle our large family gatherings effortlessly. We're always treated with great kindness, which makes us look forward to our next visit. The restaurant is family-friendly and can accommodate groups, but it's best to make a reservation in advance. Having been a beloved fixture in the neighborhood for many years, it's a delightful place for family dining.
