I've been going to Around the Clock for over twenty years! It is the closest thing that Crystal Lake has to the sterotypical "coffee shop" that you will find in town. They have a fantastic breakfast menu, and I'd rather eat one of "Steve Omelets" than eat breakfast almost anywhere else, especially considering all the fancy breakfast/brunch ONLY restaurants that have been popping up in recent years. Love their breakfast food! And their service is the BEST of any place I've been to in Crystal Lake, bar none. They keep it at a very high level, and I've never been disappointed by their servers in my decades of going there. But this is "Around the Clock", and they have some pretty good lunch selections too: a very decent selection of soups, salads, burgers and sandwiches. You will not leave hungry, that's for sure. Dinner is the only weak spot for them, fairly standard fair, nothing all that great or exciting. But since breakfast is served ANY time, it's not that big of a deal. But one thing you will find: they often have some GREAT dinner specials on the weekends that make up it. The best thing about Around the Clock though, is that they have their own bakery, and make their own cakes, pies and pastries, many of which you can bring home with you! Their chocolate cake is THE BEST I've ever had, and is worth going there for that alone. Yeah, its just a very casual family diner, but one of the very best of it's kind I've found anywhere. Highly recommended.

Popular family restaurant with a nice varied menu. My granddaughter loves their soups and the fruit plate. The adults had pancakes and bacon, and a generous chicken wrap. Service was friendly and quick.

Wonderful comfort food! A favorite with the locals for good reason - large salads, great burgers (upgrade to the 1/2 pounder!), and tasty home made pies. Great service and value all around.

This diner is great! I love the atmosphere and they are well know for their pies. The wait staff is delightful even when they are busy. The skillet I ordered was delicious and they keep the coffee coming!
