Avalon Family Restaurant


An update on restaurants is the Avalon Family Restaurant in Gurnee, IL. It is a Greek restaurant that is nearby with good food and we find it to be very reasonable. I've been making fun of hubby for years because every time we walk in the hostess automatically hands him a seniors' menu! I was always too young...Well, in a few days, I will cross the magic threshold and be able to become even cheaper and order off the Seniors' Menu too.

Actually, the really cool thing is, their breakfasts are phenomenal! Again, much less expensive than going to another chain restaurant that advertises their specials for $5.99 and up. But if you add your coffee and what-not your bill is over $20 plus tip! Our last visit to Avalon got us two big breakfasts-that's 3 eggs each, hash browns, with sausage (or bacon), a couple of huge ranch French Toast (you can have pancakes or toast-your choice) and we both had coffee. I just couldn't finish all that! Our bill was around $14.50. We then left a nice tip. The waitress/waiters are great, service is very prompt and we have no problem. If there were a situation I would let them know of my displeasure, especially if we're coming back.

Please also check out their dinners, they have some tremendous Greek dishes (and omelets!) with Feta cheese that really rattle your taste buds.
