Lumes Brunch Cafe - Willowbrook

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.

I’m not from the area, but I stopped by for brunch while I was nearby. The menu is fantastic, with great prices and generous portions that are very much American-sized! My waiter, Christian, was attentive and incredibly friendly, and my food arrived quickly—within about 10 minutes. I ordered the veggie skillet along with pancakes and a mimosa. The orange juice was freshly squeezed! I highly recommend visiting this place and supporting their business. Thank you, Christian!

Wife and I have been to this establishment 5 times and food and service has been great so far. I have nothing negative to say. Can get busy , I'm assuming because it's good and par for the course because there so many lazy people now in days they are short staffed like every other restaurant I go to but I feel it's worth the wait.Vegetarian options: Nice vegetarian options.
