I’ve been looking at the Full Moon Family Restaurant in The City of North Chicago Lake Bluff every week since we moved here.

Its parking lot is almost always full. It is often filled with bikers or truckers. It is so close to the Great Lakes Naval Base that I knew it would also be filled with military members, families and retirees.

Interesting people watching.
Diner-like.
But would the food be good?

We found out last weekend. Mixed reviews.

I ordered the sausage gravy and biscuits and thoroughly enjoyed my food.

TW ordered an egg & cheese sandwich and enjoyed it, particularly the Texas Toast style bread. She “complained” that there was too much egg because it was made with two eggs rather than the one she’s used to “Waffle House-style”.

TW’s mother ordered the strawberry pancakes with whipped cream. She did not enjoy them. For some reason she had it in her head that they would come with fresh strawberries. This made no sense based on the photo on the menu and the fact that we were in this particular type of restaurant. The pancakes were loaded with canned strawberry filling stuff and a ton of whipped cream. And, she says they were “dry”.

The price was right. The service was good (though it took me way too long to get my check) and I’d be happy to go back again. (We probably won’t take TW’s mom though.)
