Rating: We recently visited this restaurant and ordered a couple of burgers - one with a bun, one without. Both were a huge letdown. The burgers were to salty, and the patties were clearly frozen, lacking any real flavor. We took a bite, looked at each other, and immediately knew we'd be leaving sooner than expected. When the waitress came by we immediately asked for the bill, she didn't even ask if everything was all right, we literally had one bite and asked for the check. I would have been happy to discuss had she cared. Even the fries were underwhelming - bland and forgettable. The only redeeming part of the meal? The Coke, which was good, but sadly not enough to bring us back. Wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for a decent burger experience. read more

We've been twice in the last 3 weeks & loving their March specials. We started with the 113 board which had a really yummy hummus & variety of pita, bread, salami, etc. My husband had the beef pot pie both times and loved it. I had the Rueben first visit and then the chicken shawarma the next, both delicious. For dessert we had the bread pudding covered in cream & caramel - so decadent! Great atmosphere & very reasonable prices. read more

We had great service and wonderful food. I had the Shrimp and Grits and it was very delicious. Love the atmosphere.

This is a regular for us and when we have family in town we take them here. The menu has something for everyone. We've always had good food from the grilled peach flatbread to the blackened mahi sandwich, bao buns, chicken Schwarma sandwich. The service here has always been good as well. read more

met for a couple drinks with some friends on a Sunday night. the drinks were good, but a little pricey for Oswego. my friend and ii got the old fashioned. a tad on the sweet side, bit delicious nonetheless. wives got the miss armstrong (it's not on the menu), and enjoyed it. I tried a bit and liked it as well. minty, but not overpowering. it's definitely worth a visit if you're in downtown Oswego. didn't have any food, so can't comment on that. read more

I've been here a few times and really like the menu. The crispy chicken bao buns are amazing and the chicken sandwich is very tasty. Be sure to check them out at happy hour. read more

The waiter was super cool and gave great recommendations on food we couldn't decide! Beautiful restaurant,cute vibes, and great pizza!

Will go again sometime but for our first visit we didn't feel good vibes. It was a Sunday lunch time visit after a little shopping. No paper menus available (they were out of them.) instructed us to just scan the code and read on our phones. Just not my thing. I like to peruse the full menu for any first visit to any restaurant. Crowd was very light which we found intriguing as we had heard great things hence our visit. Perhaps dinner is the better time to stop in. Decor is nice, but really high ceilings and nothing warm and inviting for our age bracket and price point. Shrimp and Grits were ordered and flavorful but the grits were "tight" meaning they probably got a little cold. Salad choices were not as I had hoped in a chopped salad. Large greens, no pasta etc.... read more

Came here for brunch with a few friends. The service was okay. You couldn't find a server insight at times, it was annoying especially if you're paying for bottomless mimosas. The shrimp and grits were really good. I would get it again ! read more

The food was very good. Personally I only went for the pork belly steamed buns which exceeded my expectations. Service was great, even management was kind enough to bring out our food and it was piping hot just the way I like it. It was also very clean which is a must for me. read more

First time there and nice atmosphere and the music wasn't so loud that we could actually hear and talk. Both fish tacos and buttermilk chicken sandwich were great! Server was very nice! Would go back!! read more

Pretty cool open air screened in bar area and gastropub atmosphere. No views of the river unfortunately. I got the skirt steak tacos and wasn't too impressed. I held the cilantro and didn't realize without this, it was just a meat and sauce flavor and pretty bland. They could really use some arugula or lemongrass flavor to brighten it up. I wouldn't get any of the tacos again. My wife got the Mahi sandwich and she loved it. For me, the pineapple, peppers, and sauce was a bit much and I didn't care for that flavor profile. I might be interested in getting this if it was a more basic sandwich with just some fresh greens and aoili on it. I think if i came back I'd get the ahi tuna salad. 5oz of fish with fresh greens sounds like the way to go. read more

This is a great addition to downtown Oswego! 113 is a perfect spot for a happy hour, light appetizers, a light meal or a heavy entree. I've been several times and have been impressed with the food, service and atmosphere every time. Bar service is fast and drinks are made well. The owners are also great! I approached them for a charity donation and they responded quickly and had it ready for me when I arrived. Docking a star for just several small reasons: parking! It's out of their control, but parking is so difficult here. And, the hours! This is a nice bar, and would be a great option to stay open later for drinks. On a Saturday night, they were closing already at 10pm (as in, get out the door by 10pm, no time to finish your drink). read more

Great selection, very fresh, something for everyone. Service with a smile and flexible with a large group order.

I've been wanting to try this place and I'm glad I did. The ambience is so nice. The customer service was great our waiter was nice, informative, and very attentive. Everything that we ordered from the menu was divine especially my shrimp and scallop risotto. We also did the brisket eggrolls and the fries everything was literally so good. The owner came and checked on us and introduced himself he was very nice and down to earth unlike most owners. I'm a very picky eater so if I enjoyed everything so will you. read more

We decided to try this place out after being extremely impressed by the menu, so we ordered curbside pickup 1/30/21. Although I cannot speak on what the inside of the restaurant looks like since we did curbside, the ease of ordering on the website and receiving our order without having to go inside was seamless. I also appreciate that there's the option to pay in cash as well online! As for the food, I am amazed. We ordered the mussels for an appetizer and the serving size was incredible for the price! The 113 Burger was absolutely delicious as well as the ribeye. We all upgraded our fries to the truffle fries and I cannot recommended them enough. We'll definitely be ordering from here again and try it the other items on the menu! This is exactly what Downtown Oswego needs. I cannot wait to dine inside and try some of the drinks once everything returns to normal! read more

The bourbon berry punch cocktail was strong yet refreshing. I was hesitant about the French Onion soup because I love this soup. I was pleasantly surprised that it was delicious! read more

I had the 113 burger. Portions have noticeably gotten smaller and the food was cold when it came to me. I wouldn't mind that normally but the patty was extremely over seasoned in certain spots. read more

We stopped here with a few family members and were blown away! From start to finish, the staff was courteous, respectful, and put a high premium on safety measures and cleanliness. I had the ribeye steak sandwich and it was superb. The rest of our party thoroughly enjoyed their entrees as well. This will now be a staple for us! read more

Love the food, atmosphere, and they have wonderful service! The manager came to the table to see how the food was, always a plus. Fish Fry and Burgers are always wonderful! read more

First time trying this spot and I was not disappointed!!! Ignore the bad reviews. Tried out a bourbon burger and chicken sandwich with calamari for an appetizer. Everything was delicious and I mean really good! Finally a molten lava cake for desert. Leaving happy and full. Large inside, great for small family or brunch with friends. Will be coming back to try more! read more

Not a lot of options in the Oswego area for this kind of pub grub. Nice beer selection a good drink list. Great old-fashioned! Our first fave here was the roasted brussels sprouts. We have them as a starter. Burgers are good, as is the wedge salad. The only gripe is the wait time, but I guess that figures -- good place, good food, you're gonna draw a crowd... TIP: They open up a wall of windows in the good weather! read more

The staff here is absolutely amazing and very attentive to whatever you need. Adam did an outstanding job and should get a bonus. He went out of his way to make our supper the best with his excellent recommendations. I highly recommend the Smoked Manhattan. If you're in downtown Oswego, I cannot stress enough how good of a restaurant this is !! Definitely 5 stars all the way!! That's you. read more

Very nice atmosphere and the foods great and the employees are very nice. It can get a bit loud sometimes on nights they have live music but that's to be expected. read more

We were looking for a place serving all afternoon. Stopped for a late lunch and we were not disappointed. Too many offerings so we will return. read more

great food!! staff and environment were good as always :) food came out in a timely manner and drinks were great too!

I would not eat here again. The food was Ok at best. The staff was rude and very unaccompanied. I would spend my money elsewhere

Door is ok. Staff is rude. Went into the place and they said we need a reservation and the place was empty.

We came at 7 on a Saturday and were seated right away. The steamed buns appetizer was delicious. We got the Sirloin tip & Salmon special. Both entrees were flavorful. Their tiramisu was disappointing, mostly cream. They have a small drink menu especially with their wine. 113 main charges a 3% fee if you pay with a credit card. We liked the atmosphere and entrees. Definitely will be back read more

We won't be going back. The only thing that earned a 2 star was that the waitress was very good. That being said, the "loaded potato skins" were so over cooked and dry they were inedible. The "blackened" mahi sandwich may have been burned charred but not blackened. To be blackened it needs to be Cajun seasoned and pan seared. This had no flavor except for the sauces which left you with a mouth of mush. My wife ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich, was brought a buttermilk chicken sandwich instead. It was remade to go, good on the waitress. The best part of the meal were the baked French onion soups. Flavor and not salt bombs. The kicker in this whole visit was the female manager that spent most of her time either wandering aimlessly or chatting with the servers and bartender at the bar. She studious avoided our table even though she had to be aware of the difficulties. Again, soup and server good. 2 stars read more

This place was at the top of the results page when looking for a Plainfield/Oswego girls brunch. It was very spacious and simply decorated when we walked in. Our waiter was very nice and kept the bottomless mimosas we ordered flowing (so worth the $22!). The benedict brunch plate my friend got looked really good and the duck egg omelet was average. I didn't know grits came as a default side and I wish I switched to a side of fruit since I didn't touch the grits. Especially if you're looking for a nice, open space and bottomless mimosas on a chill Sunday, give this place a shot. read more

Ordered the carne asada. Came with 4 small street tacos $14.50. Flavor was good but had a few pieces of meat with grizzle. Rice and beans were extra at a cost of $5.00!!! I shared the beans and rice. 113 tacos were regular size tortillas (3). Good flavor on those also but found a bone in one. read more

My friend and I met here for dinner while I was pregnant. Many options for pregnant ladies! The food was delicious and the resturant is beautiful. read more

We went to this restaurant and have always had good experiences in the past. This place is not known for being reasonably priced, but we typically come in for the atmosphere. On the good side, the poutine was delicious. The steak medallions were good, but this is the first time that we've had Inadequate service. Our server was Justin. He technically took our order, but we had to work hard to wave him down for water as well as purchasing expensive drinks. His homebase was the bar, where he could be on his cell phone. The restaurant was not even exceptionally busy. I don't think this is typically representative of the restaurant, as a younger female assisting with the waterwith brown curly hair was actually quite personable. Sadly, she was not our waiter. Asking Justin for things seem to be a true bother to him. Then when it came time to pay our bill, we were not presented with an itemized bill, just a total and he "helped us" by putting himself in for a 25% gratuity. He had the skills capable of being a waiter, it was just pretty clear he did not want to deal with people, which is a significant requirement for service people. Again, we must give credit to the young female who was 20 times more personable than Justin, our contacts with her were limited. We hope this serviceimproves as we want to see the restaurant flourish. read more

I've been a few times, great food lots of options, brussels sprouts are amazing. This place is pretty awesome. Also good place to drink, have an app, and watch games as well. Always have had excellent service, great people, great grub. read more

Even with a packed dining room, the wait is never very long. They have a nice variety of seating (bar, high tops, booths, regular tables) Love the giant garage doors when they're open and that they still have screens so bugs don't bug you (pun intended). The menu is short and sweet. Lots of options and even the drink menu is great. read more

Very disappointing. Second time in. Thought I would give them a second chance. It's was not good again I made reservations and asked for a booth. They' sat us by the bathroom. We asked to be moved and they wanted us to sit at a regular table, when there where other booths available. They acted like they did not know what to do. So we asked to be seated at a high top in the bar. The hostess had to ask the manager if it was ok. Then to top it off, My girlfriends meal came out 7 minutes before my meal and my meal was burnt to a crisp (see the photos). By that point I had enough I won't return to 113 Main !!!!! You should think twice before deciding to dinner here read more

The poutine and Brussels sprouts were good, but the burger was ordered medium well and was much closer to medium rare. Since this was a pick up order, we didn't discover how undercooked it was until we got home. A bit disappointing, but we will give it one more try since this was our first time there and it's not fair to judge on just one experience. read more

113 Main - Definitely not medium well. - New American Near Me - Oswego, Illinois

The service is kind of slow, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt of it being a newer restaurant. The food is alright, the steak salad is good but everything else isn't as good. It is a little overpriced. read more

Food and service are top notch. Rachel, Dan, Cassey, Jeff and Mike (owner) could not be nicer to their patrons.
