What an amazing place to get a snack and a drink! **SCOTT** Scott is the best, honest and…read morepersonable guy you can ever meet. The nachos are a great snack. I love the cheese sauce on them. It is a huge platter of chips, cheese and veggies. Have I mentioned Scott? Haha yes I did. He is awesome. See my pic. We had a very lively conversation and he helped us with our drink options. Jamie the manager was also very awesome and gave us great service. I have never been so impressed. Lovely and passionate folks that work here. I will happily frequent other locations of this corporation as long as they have Jamie and Scott working there.

We came to the Hollywood Casino in Aurora to celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary. Around 2pm we…read moregot hungry enough to stop eating for a bit and come to The Penalty Box for some chicken wings! The restaurant is very clean and relaxing. Lots of televisions too. We went to the bar and asked if we seat ourselves... the bartender called the waitress over and she sat us right away. The menu has lots of great food options... pizza... tacos... salads... sandwiches and even desserts. We ordered 20 wings. 10 mild and 10 garlic parmesan. With a side of blue cheese for dipping. (Posted a video, not sure if it will show up on our review but you should be able to find it when searching images) The mild wings were really yummy! They were very flavorful! The garlic parmesan sauce was not my favorite... kind of blah and did not taste like there was any parmesan in the sauce... however the chicken wings were still cooked to perfect. Juicy chicken with a crispy coating.. the wings also were trimmed nicely.. no cartilage or gummy pieces. I would definitely dine here again! Our waitress kept checking in on us and gave us refills and she was very kind and loved her service with a smile!

It was my first visit on a chilly Thursday night, but clearly a lot of regular patrons in here. I was there for an after work social and the appetizers I tasted were all delicious. I loved that the chicken wings were plain for dipping and not heavily breaded. Exactly how I prefer mine. If you are a first timer, like I was, be cautious of the one way parking flow. I will be back after "Dry January!"

We love Oak Street- been coming here for about 2-3 years and wish we knew about it earlier. They…read morehave a great menu with just about everything you could want- Sandwiches- salads- wings- pizza -great soups and excellent pasta and entrees. I love the 1/2 slab ribs- fall off the bone- complete with potato, veg and soup or salad- only $16.99. Their french onion soup is very good. Also the greek chicken and 1/2 chicken dinner are the bomb. They seem to have a strong bar regular following. Place is usually busy during Bears games. Servers are very friendly and down home feel. Prices beat most of the diner type places in North Aurora/ Aurora. Tuesday Taco night is very good. Hubby and I often share the fajita dinner. Keep up the good work!

After shopping at the Aurora Premium Outlets, I decided to have lunch at this location with my…read morefamily. The restaurant was very easy to find, situated in a strip mall with plenty of parking available. Inside, the space is divided between a bar and a restaurant. The bar features a few gambling slot machines, and there's outdoor seating if you prefer to eat outside. The menu offers a wide variety of selections. For my lunch, I ordered onion rings and tried the Philly steak sandwich with a side of fries. The onion rings were very good--crispy and hot. The sandwich came with a cup of soup. I chose the Cream of Broccoli. The soup was delicious... even my daughter loved it. My lunch did take a while to arrive, but when it did, the Philly steak sandwich was pretty good. The fries had a slight batter, which I love. The sandwich itself was loaded with meat and veggies, but the bread fell apart, making it a little difficult to eat. Despite the long wait after our onion rings (and being full from it), I did finish my lunch. Overall, the food was decent, although the wait was a bit longer than expected. However, the service and staff were amazing and very friendly. With that said, I would consider returning here in the future.

I came here for a business dinner on a Monday night. Great food, the server and host were very…read morehelpful and friendly, and the ambiance was awesome. The fire pit in the middle of the restaurant and the fireplace in the porch-like portion are a vibe. I had the hummus trio, which had some really innovative and delicious flavors (a black bean option, a chipotle option, and some sort of balsamic thing I can't remember the name of but was my favorite). The pita bread they served it with was tasty. Everything else in our group looked delicious, too. They had been here several time and they love it. I'm not out this way very often (or ever), but if I were I would definitely come back.

I went here recently with some girlfriends and we opted to sit in the enclosed porch area, it had…read moregreat ambiance and protection from the cool breeze. Our waitress was so wonderful to start, she was attentive and offered some suggestions. We were taking some time to catch up, but we did order a few appetizers. This is when things took a strange turn... Our entrees started coming out, but the guys running the food didn't make any effort to clear our table or get boxes for our appetizer leftovers. So we had no choice but to put our empty plates on the table next to us - there truly wasn't any room and one guy giggled when I asked if he would take our appetizer plates. Our waitress came by shortly after and I said we asked for boxes and our plates to be cleared so we had room. She said she'd take care of it, which she did. After that, she was much less attentive. Finally, when it came to dessert... I asked for a recommendation, but unfortunately I was the only one who wanted a dessert at my table. I asked about taking it home, she told me the mason jar dessert couldn't be taken home and the others wouldn't last. I said okay forget it then. So no dessert was had and we were all VERY confused why our dinner went from stellar service to straight down the toilet. At least the food was good... I might stick to Hardware. It's a much more pleasant experience there.

O'Malley's is located in one of the more rural parts of the city if you can call it that. Basically one of the few dining options that are right around here. There's the usual beers and cocktails, as well as things like burgers and pretzels. Bigger than it looks inside. It's located pretty close to the golf course so it's a popular spot after playing. This also gets a lot of people who are watching football on weekends. One of the local sports bars. They have a pretty good happy hour. It's about $4 for basic cocktails such as whiskey and Coke. It's about $5 to get the Pretzel Logs. The rest of the food menu is pretty meaty, with things like burgers and chicken tenders. For sure it's a good place for watching games. It's located on Hill Avenue next to Phillips Park. The happy hour is even on weekends.

I was really hoping it would be my new neighborhood watering hole but that's not happening. The look alike Roz, from Monsters Inc, saw me and my two girlfriends looking at the menu. She didn't ask us what we wanted, she just walked by yelling "ONLY PIZZA". She was rude, inconsiderate and not to mention wrong, considering we ordered more than pizza. Tara was tending bar. She waited on us. She did her job. There's no reason to go back. Note to the owner, You will gain new customers if you make customer service your number one priority!

Riverside Pizza & Pub is one of the better hangouts for those having good times. A wait is worth it mostly. The prices are okay for the big portions. Coming in here it was a few minutes before getting seats at the bar. It's often a longer wait for getting a table. There's often games people are watching. A great place to come for it. Has plenty of big TVs on the walls. It's about $8 a pint for local beers. That's kind of a lot. A lot of cocktails are cheaper at happy hour. It's about $11 for a martini. These of course go pretty great with Italian food and they're cheaper at the happy hour too. It's about $13 for the Build Your Own Pasta. You choose sauces and toppings. Of course pizza is the main thing to get. There's a lot of great specials Got stuffed eating so much from here. It's got a couple other locations which are pretty much the same things to get really. There's always a crowd especially on weekends.

I'm a bit of a nacho connoisseur, so on my first visit to Pig Dog Pub I got the Sunday half-price…read morenachos with added sliced avocado - which was also half-price. I figured it was about 2,000 calories - a whole day's worth of food. It was very good, and at $5.50 it was an incredible value. I didn't spot any nacho cheese sauce, just melted cheddar, which is much better for nachos unless they're the ballpark kind where you just dip the chips in a pile of gooey nacho cheese sauce - which also can be very good but is an entirely different thing. The avocado looked to be about half of a medium avocado, very ripe and fresh, and the pico de gallo was also fresh and plentiful. There were enough black beans to balanced the dish, and a huge dollop of sour cream, which for some reason I love on nachos even though they have a bunch of cheese. Of all the restaurant experiences I've had in the last ten years, this is one of only a few that have been outstanding in quality and value. I'll try the Wednesday pizza next - I'm a bit of a connoisseur of that, too, and it's half-price on Wednesday.
