Paragon Restaurant

This restaurant is thoroughly amazing.  When I'm in Waukegan it is within walking distance of me- a fact for which I'm always very grateful.

We tend to go on weekends at a time when they are still serving both breakfast and lunch.  This is always an agonizing decision, since both the breakfast and lunch menus are amazing.  I especially love their chicken and rice soup served on Sundays and their Ruben and Gyro sandwiches. Their omelets are also to die for.

I've always had friendly and down-to-earth servers and the prices are extremely reasonable for what you get.  It could be a bit better lit and sometimes I feel it could be a bit cleaner, but I like the food so much this makes no impact on my rating. Give this place a try, you won't regret it.

The food was standard for any breakfast place.

What bothered me was since when do breakfast places add their tip to the bill? I always leave a good tip but was surprised to see the waitress added her tip to the bill. When I went to pay the cashier told me "oh she added the tip to the bill already" I had already left cash on the table. I took my cash, paid the bill and left. Don't think I'll ever be returning to this place.

The service was excellent. The atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable.

The food was pretty good, my wife really enjoyed the breakfast skillets. We just weren't really into the 'hash browns' they served. But overall very good.
