It was a cold, rainy night in Bradley Illinois and I thought a diner would be a good choice for dinner as comfort food seemed welcoming. I read the reviews for Bill's Diner and decided to go there and I am glad I did. I was seated immediately and handed a paper with the nights specials, which numbered about 10 and each only $9.99. I chose from the regular menu however because i wanted Chicken Parmesan. My choice included either a salad or soup and when I heard they had Navy Bean soup I ordered that. When the soup came it was piping hot, a full bowl and deliciously home made! So many places I have gone serve lukewarm soup and a small cup, but here it was outstanding in every way. They had my approval with the soup course!My Chicken Parmesan was a very generous portion, served with tasty spaghetti and also hot. Bill's diner "Hit the Mark" for me on a cold rainy evening and I'm sure does so no matter the climate outside. I will return again when in the area.

I really enjoyed the broiled Perch dinner tonight. It couldn't have tasted any better. My side salad was huge and very fresh. My coffee cup was never empty. Everyone was very friendly - the service couldn't have been any better. I will definitely be back on my next trip to Kankakee. The Family House is a really great find.
