“ First time here. Love the location first off. On the corner in downtown Lombard. The restaurant is a bit small, I went around noon on a Thursday so seating was no issue. You seat yourself and order at the front counter when ready (no traditional waiter/waitress). The girl at the front was very friendly and explained how their service worked. I got the breakfast burger and it was one of the better burgers I've had. All the ingredients were fresh and the burger was hot fresh off the grill. I got the balsamic greens on the side and that was also tasty. Will definitely be back ”

“ Pretty good for a small buisness! The styles is very cozy and makes me feel nice inside. Unfortunately, when I took my mom with me, she could not get up the stairs and I had to have my son help lift her and her wheelchair up, so being more wheelchair friendly is a definite solution. The food is about average. ”

“ Got takeout, beer burger and well-done fries. The flavors were great and I really enjoyed the pretzel bun. Will be going back to try the pie I've heard so much about. ”

“ Kindest owners and servers. Excellent food and lie to die for. The burgers and curds are amazing. Hand crafted sodas too. Come for the food stay for the pie. ”

“ Babcock's is truly a gem in a historic building set right on the corner in Lombard. I love that everything is made in house, the service is down to earth, and in the summer the outdoor seating is lovely! I'm also now a huge fan of the speakeasy-style cocktail bar attached to the restaurant! Love this place all around! ”

“ My fiance and I came here for dinner on a Friday night. This restaurant is housed in a cozy vintage building, but accessibility is a bit difficult because there are large front steps and the railing does not extend all the way down to the sidewalk level. It's a small space inside (unless there's another hidden area I didn't notice!) The host was able to quickly clear a table for us and we were seated toward the nook at the back of the room with a lilac mural (Lombard is the lilac city) and strings of fairy lights overhead (perhaps this area needs a bit more lighting: an older couple at an adjacent table spent a significant amount of time using the flashlights on their phones to read their menus, with the side effect of them flaring into my eyes repeatedly for about 15 minutes). Our waitress was friendly but a little scattered, and it took her quite a while to acknowledge us or even bring water (at some point we were wondering if we were in a zone between servers or what). The manager who was circulating around later was very warm and interested in everyone's experience. Our food was great. I especially loved the creamy mushroom garlic soup: so velvety and flavorful! For entrees my fiance had the bacon beer cheeseburger, which he said was good but the pretzel bun was a little meh, and I had the brie lingonberry grilled cheese on sourdough, which was tasty. They also are "locally famous" for pie according to their website, so we knew we had to get something, and it ended up being Meyer lemon pie for both of us: think key lime but a bit less tart, very smooth with whipped cream on top and a slightly-too-thick but very tasty spiced cookie crust (the thickness made it difficult to hew through with a spoon or even a knife). Overall, the food was good enough that I'm sure we will return. ”

“ Our server Heather C. was friendly, quick and efficient. The food was really good. It was our first time here. We had the mushroom Swiss burger and the bacon and beer cheese burger both were delicious. We will definitely be back. Thanks! ”

“ We went here to get dinner midweek and what a pleasant surprise. The service was excellent- felt like you were warmly welcomed to someone's home. Our server, Shannon was knowledgeable about the menu and had a beautiful personality. We got appetizer, entree and thankful to have ordered their homemade key lime pie for dessert. Everything was just on point, freshly made and delicious. We had such a great time- will definitely return ”

“ What an amazing place! I was in the area and just checked Yelp for a lunch spot and landed on this page. I am so glad I did because this was a fantastic experience. We got there a little before noon and sat down to figure out our order, then went to the counter and placed it, getting a number for them to bring it to the table. Literally everything we had was amazing, from the cheese curds that they somehow make taste light (!) to the schnitzel sandwich on perfectly toasted bread to the delightful grape soda and lilac floats. The place is cozy, but there is more space around the back corner because as we sat, tons of people piled in and they never ran out of room. Service is also fantastic with the owner making time to talk to everyone and making people feel very welcome. You need to try this place and then put it on your regular rotation! ”
