    Sausage, bacon, egg, and cheese croissant sandwich with hashbrowns
    Joshua S.

    Incredible food and service! The bakery counter is amazing!! So many options and everything is delicious. With a supper club feel with a salad bar I highly recommend Harner's! Today I got the sausage patty, bacon, egg, and cheese croissant sandwich with a side of hashbrowns.

    a place so good you'll come back the very next day! i'm in town for work and am so happy to have found this delicious bakery and restaurant. they are family owned and have been around for years. they have an amazing bakery with so many options, i took a few for my coworkers and had to come back the next day to try more. reasonably priced and amazing service; you feel right at home when you visit Harner's! [[HIGHLIGHT]]it's located in such a nice area also where you can talk a little stroll and look at the lake, or follow along the Fox River trail to burn off those donuts lol![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Harner's, how have I not tried you sooner? I'm not sure if you're an amazing bakery with a restaurant or an amazing restaurant with a bakery? Either way, you rock! My bride and I both had the Denver Omelette, there was a $1 up charge for the most amazing raisin bread toast that I highly recommend. The Omelette was fluffy, cheese nicely melted and a just right amount onions, green peppers and a more than generous amount of ham. Our server mad sure our coffee cups were always filled and was very friendly. It's a good thing we made our bakery purchases before having breakfast as they had an excellent selection. After breakfast it looked like a swam of locusts invaded as many of the previously full shelves were empty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is an old school charm to Harner's, as it opened in 1960.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] An amazing place that's definitely worth the trip.

    Turkey Sandwich

    Was in the area on a Sunday and wanted soup. Harner's fit the requirements including homemade meals. I had ordered a turkey sandwich and a cup of mushroom soup. My guest had the lasagna special. I also ordered a danish pastry to take home. My tip is to check out the bakery. They do charge a fee for credit card users!

    I'm very appreciative of the rep that brought donuts to work. This review is based only on the donuts because Harners sells other baked goods and is also a restaurant. I had a few donuts from the variety box and found them to be okay just not the type of donuts that are my preference. Definitely better than DD though!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nestled along the Fox River in North Aurora, this country-style restaurant offers warmth & comfort.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu offers an extensive selection that can take some time to peruse, esp for those who don't frequent the establishment. Each visit tends to revolve around their hearty meatloaf, which is a true comfort food. It is paired perfectly with the rich cheddar cheese at the salad bar & a tempting array of baked goods from the display. Despite the busy dinner service, our waitress skillfully juggled the needs of several tables, she remained attentive & friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant transforms into a lively gathering spot on weekend evenings when it fills up quickly, so be prepared for a wait.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They don't accept reservations.

    Hot roast beef sandwich
    Dan N.

    I have wanted to come here for years, I have admired their amazing bakery at various family functions. My sister in law always has a coffee cake from Harner's on Christmas and it's truly one of the greatest cakes I have ever eaten. I just knew the restaurant would be great. It's very.... kina old school lunchroom meat and potatoes food. They have something called a pig roast on one day a week and I NEED to come back for that, I don't know anything about it other than I need it in my life. We came for lunch with family, I really wanted to get something with the salad bar, I love that they still have one, but it was early and the dinner would have been too much. They sold me with a steamship round of beef... I'm a sucker for a huge roast beef and the hot roast beef sandwich was right up my alley. It was perfect in every way, just as I remember eating as a child. Perfectly roasted beef, tender and with incredible flavor on white bread covered in brown gravy with mashed potatoes. The beef was awesome, the bread was great, the gravy was amazing and perfect mashed potatoes. I can't wait to go back.

    I've been here twice, once this past fall, and the other just last week - it was great both times!…read more This most recent time I was there with a group of teachers, having pre-comedy show lunch & drinks, and everyone (there were 6) loved their food, and really enjoyed their drink options. Our server was fab, super friendly and quick (shout-out to Brody!), and had great suggestions from his menu faves. The previous time I came was post-comedy show, just for drinks, and the 3 of us all enjoyed our drinks then, as well. I also love the decor vibe, especially as a (elder) millennial, because MJ IS the GOAT. Stop by and try it, definitely worth a shot!

    We stopped in on a Friday night and this place was crowded! We were told there would be about a 20…read moreminute wait but we were fortunate to be seated in 5 minutes. We were greeted by Ian our server immediately which was very nice. We noticed they have Happy Hour Tues-Fri from 4-6pm so we took advantage of their half off cocktails and a few food specials. I had the Wisconsin Old Fashion and my wife had the Poli Old Fashion which was tequila based. Both were fantastic! We started with an order of their Street Corn Deviled Eggs which were amazing..super creamy. They do have a GF menu so my wife had a bowl of their homemade chili and I had their Italian Beef Bao trio. Both were delicious and very meaty. They have an extension whiskey/bourbon list plus their burgers looked amazing. We will definitely be back!

Our waitress greeted us warmly and quickly brought out water and coffee. She did a great job of keeping both glasses and mugs full throughout the meal. We did not wait long for our food after we ordered it. I got their brunch burrito with a side of fruit. The burrito was a good size, not too small but not so big that I could not finish it. I got it with bacon as my meat and dipped it in the chipotle vinaigrette on the side as I ate it. It was awesome! I really loved that instead of black beans, there were refried beans in it, as they added a great creaminess to the meal. The fruit bowl was also impressive to me, as it was full of diverse fresh fruit. It was better than the normal assorted melons I am used to at restaurants. I got an iced salted caramel latte to go before leaving since we had a long car ride ahead of us. It was on the sweet side, with little espresso flavor coming through, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I would love to come back on a busier weekend when the place is more lively and try their huge lunch menu!

The inside of the restaurant was fine the tables were sticky but after they cleaned it again it was fine. The service was great but the food really just ruined it especially because it was $25 per person for my family. Somebody in my family also had to return their food back the steak was extremely rubbery and dry will not be coming back.
