We come here for both breakfast & lunch. Great steak & eggs, but my favorite is the chicken or steak wraps. Great idea to offer fresh fruit in lieu of fries! Consistent, friendly, clean, and always good food!

We have gone to Around the Clock for over 20years. This is our favorite place for breakfast. My husband loves the all you can eat pancakes with breakfast. We also love the Apple pie and usually buy a whole pie to take home.

When we moved to the Crystal Lake area, it seemed that everyone talked about Around the Clock, so we made sure to try it several times. However, to me, it is simply average. The food is OK - not bad, not great, just fine. Service is variable, depending on the server, so it can be good or not.
