Hidden Gem Breakfast Joint Has All Of Illinois Talking About Its Ham

I'm hesitant to tell you about this spot because I don't want the locals in this town to get mad at me. Unfortunately, the reviews alone make this too good not to share.

You're going to get a visual of why you'll be adding this Arlington Heights diner to your "must visit" list but, first, you need to know where you're headed.

The reviews for Mr. Allison's Restaurant, at 1711 E Central Rd., are as close to 5 stars as you're going to find. Out of 100 of the most recent reviews, only 6 were three stars or less. Of those reviews, most of them were poorly written or complained about something irrelevant.

Not every restaurant is on their game every second they are open but if 90% of your reviews are exceptional then they must be doing something right.

THE REVIEWS BEFORE THE FOOD

Check out some of these reviews on Yelp.

Big portions, low prices.

Within the reviews, you'll notice a common theme, the ham.

Just. Order. Ham.

Not even ham haters can pass up the ham at Mr. Allison's.

Diedre really doesn't want too many people to know about this spot but she knows it would be a disservice to society if it were kept a secret.

Another ham reference.

Look at Ken's number of locations he's visited. It took 82 tries to find a place that deserves 5 stars.

THE FOOOOOOOOOOD

Warning: You will be hungry after this quick visual tour of the menu at Mr. Allison's.

How serious are they about ham, check this out.

All breakfast served with eggs include at least three of them.

Is this not the most photogenic breakfast ever?

Hungry yet? There's more.

Avacado on top of a scrambled egg skillet, are you kidding me?

These photos should be in a calendar, a sexy breakfast calendar.
