Marquee - Broadview

I've been having breakfast and lunch here since 1985, and the meals never disappoint. It's one of those fantastic neighborhood spots. The service can be a bit grumpy from a few of the older staff, but overall, it's a great experience. My absolute favorite is the Jackie Special. The daily specials are well-priced for the quality and portion size. Of course, weekends can get quite busy!

I always enjoyed the food at your restaurant, and I was disappointed to find out that you had moved from your location in Broadview, IL 60155. My name is Anne Lashaye, and I used to visit frequently back when I worked for Mullins Food Products at 2200 S. 25th St. in Broadview, IL 60155. I hope you have opened a new location by now. Thank you!

My relatives wanted to take me here so I went along. Inside was in some serious need of remodeling as the interior felt 80's-ish in an old, dirty way. Didn't know what was good here so I ordered the gyro plate. Portions could have been bigger and only got 1 pita bread, which was cut into 4 pieces for some reason. Service was mixed as I think there was only one waitress waiting on all the tables. Kept having to waive her for coffee and the check. Giving a generous 3 stars as I might have gone on an off day and didn't order the right thing.

I drove to Marquee as usual, but today the parking lot was empty—definitely a sign to keep going. However, I heard the place had been revamped with new owners, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered something simple, but my eggs were cold, and so were the pancakes. In fact, my plate looked like it had been rejected by someone else before they served it to me. I thought it was 9:30 AM; this level of service was simply unacceptable. When I expressed my dissatisfaction to the waitress and said I didn't want the breakfast, just to charge me for the coffee, she casually asked my boyfriend if he wanted to eat the food instead. Really? His plate was hot, except for the pancakes. I might be complaining, but to sum it up, this new owner's restaurant is disappointing.

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots. The food is good. It's family styled and opens early. The portions are big and they are reasonably priced. I've only had breakfast here although they do serve lunch and dinner.
