The Greek chicken is tender and moist. Well worth the added 45 for them to make but order ahead . The lemon cake is so good!

Had a great experience at Simon's today! Started with a bowl of baked French onion soup which is always one of my go-to's. Our server informed me that they tweaked the recipe and that it's even better than before. She was right! It was great! I also ordered the Greek Pork Kebab with Greek potatoes, veggies, pita and tsatziki which was on special today. Everything was seasoned excellent and cooked perfectly Ended the meal with some complimentary vanilla soft serve ice cream. I don't know what they put in their ice cream but it's better than any other vanilla soft serve! Thanks for a great meal Simon's. I'll be back!

We have been here many times. Food is always consistently good and you get plenty of it! Everyone knows that and that's why it's always busy! No matter the time, the food is fresh, served hot, delicious! They have the BEST cream of chicken rice soup! They always end your meal with a cup of soft serve ice cream! Service is always good and friendly.

We visited Simon's in the middle of a Saturday afternoon and thankfully there was no wait for a table. The restaurant itself is very clean and very nicely lit inside. It does not feel like a dingy little diner at all. Our waitress came a moment after we sat down and took our drink order which came out another moment after. The menu has everything you expect a family restaurant to have without being too long. I got a breakfast skillet and my fiancee ordered a Cubano sandwich. Both meals were a lot larger than we were expecting them to be, it was a ton of food for the price. We ended up taking about half of each of our orders home. Our waitress was very quick and very polite. We don't live near Simon's Restaurant but the next time we need a place to eat in the area we are definitely coming back!

Simon’s Restaurant & Bakery in Villa Park greets you with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. I tried their Cream of Rice Soup, and wow—it was pure comfort in a bowl! Creamy, flavorful, and loaded with rice, it’s the perfect way to kick off your meal. For breakfast, I had the Spinach and Feta Omelette with crispy hashbrowns, and it did not disappoint. The omelette was fluffy, packed with fresh spinach and tangy feta cheese, and cooked to perfection. Paired with golden, crispy hashbrowns, it was an absolute treat! Simon’s is a neighborhood gem where you can count on great food, friendly service, and a relaxing atmosphere. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or just a pastry from their bakery, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!

Really loved eating here! Their French toast is amazing. The food came out super fast and all the staff are warm and welcoming. I stayed close by so ate here a couple times. I chose to eat here because there were a lot of cars in the parking lot so I thought it had to be good! Food came out promptly even with the amount of people here. They also serve a variety of cakes and such at the front. Delicious. Highly recommend and their prices were extremely fair.

Home run. We were looking for a family restaurant outside of the city after a trip to a museum in Chicago. This exceeded my expectations. We had a friendly, experienced server. Although it was dinner time, I had a nice cappuccino. I had the chicken kebab dinner, my mom had another chicken pita dinner, my kid had the pot roast special and my grandson of course had a cheeseburger. The food was delicious. Unexpectedly we each received a little cup of a wonderful vanilla ice cream. I would go back just for the ice cream, but they also have other great looking desserts. Plenty of room and plenty of free parking. They have an outside patio. I didn’t notice any special vegetarian options. Oh, and my mom loved the chicken rice soup!
