    Omelette with toast and pancakes
    Colin M.

    Since moving to the area, Ozzie's has quickly become our favorite weekend tradition. There's a great energy here--lots of regulars and a staff that treats you like one from day one. We've worked our way through the menu, but the skillets and waffles are consistent winners. The Pro Tip: Get "Ozzie's Favorite." The country fried steak is perfectly crispy, and that sausage gravy is the real deal. It's the ultimate comfort food.

    Very disappointed with the service I received today on 10/06/2025. I called to place one order of two biscuits and gravy with just ONE extra biscuit. After confirming and repeating my order making sure I wasn't being charged for two entrees when I only wanted one and a side biscuit. Ok get to the store I was proceeded to get charged for two orders of the biscuits when I repeated over and over my concern how I specifically wanted to make sure I am not paying for TWO entrees when I just wanted a extra piece of biscuit on the side. I asked the manager to remove the other entrée because I only wanted one, she proceeded to say that that would be a waste of food and she did not want to do that. That is beyond me that they would rather lose a loyal customer that's been coming here for years rather than making sure the customer is happy and satisfied. When I drove out of my way to come to the specific diner passing so many on my way... thank you so much for ruining my experience and to be honest I would not have done there there are so many other places with better quality service or you can actually get treated like family not like here. Very rude very unprofessional didn't even bother to fix their mistake. I was so disgusted with the service that I did not even care to even touch my food. So I proceeded to throw away $25 worth of food when it should've only costed me $12 thank you so much.

    We've always passed by this restaurant on our way to Sam's club, finally decided to try and have breakfast. We were not disappointed! We came on a weekday so there's not a lot of people, service was fast. The servings are really generous, you can see in the picture how thick the scrambled eggs are! Aside from generous servings, it is not too expensive and the food's delicious!

    Tortilla soup

    I've never had bad food here. I think I have tried all Ozzie's soup even ones I normally don't like and I love them all. Today was chicken tortilla soup. Yum Always have great service as well.

    WEST COAST BENNY

    Great breakfast! Love the eggs Benedict and the west coast Bennie. Nice people. Pleasant environment.

    Hash Stack
    Lynn M.

    Stopped in on a Saturday morning. It was our first visit. Our server was very friendly and did a nice job talking about the menu highlights. We ordered the Kentucky Bennie and Hashstack. The menu was full of very original choices as far as breakfast items go, which was refreshing. It made our choices difficult! Both meals were delicious! The sausage and gravy were very flavorful, which came on top of these entrees. It was decorated nicely in what I would call "classic diner." The cinnamon swirl toast was something totally different, and it was to die for! I know I probably have like 10 places in my top brunch place rotation, but this one needs to be there!!

    Original Skillet
    Peter M.

    Excellent service, delicious food at a very reasonably priced menu. I had their breakfast for my lunch. It has three scrambled eggs, two strips of nicely crisp bacon, plus two huge sausages, and cubed potatoes all topped off with two biscuits covered by really tasty gravy.

    Freshly squeezed orange juice & black Coffee
    Alex C.

    This is my absolute favorite breakfast spot in the Oswego/Aurora/Naperville area. The prices are extremely reasonable, the portions are more than generous, and the food is GOOD. Some highlight are their freshly squeezed orange juice and their cinnamon swirl bread. Something that's super important to me and kind of rare for breakfast places is the pork alternatives for the breakfast meats. Ozzie's offers both turkey bacon and turkey sausage on their menu. My favorite thing to get is the hash stack. Their pancakes are ginormous, you really can't go wrong here. The staff is incredibly nice as well. Ozzie's is on a few of the food delivery apps and you can also place pickup orders online or by calling the store. Although the outside is deceiving, I promise you it's some of the best food you'll have in the area.

McBride's North is one of several locations so you can check out and compare these. Certainly seems like a place to come for a gathering. There's plenty of tables as well as TVs for watching games and whatever kinds of sports. Beers and other alcoholic beverages are why you come to an Irish pub of course. It's got a few deals going on. There's of course the Guinness on tap. Can't go wrong with it. Saturdays it's $6 a pint. As for the food, it's basic. It's $7 to get a few of the Pretzel Sticks. Could be the healthiest food here. These are topped with garlic butter and salt, and served with bistro sauce and nacho cheese, but I got mine without the butter and had mustard. Have to say it's a lot better than expected. It's got lots of specials that help save money for more to get drunk on. The food is okay while being pretty meaty, with bangers and mash types of things, but they also have pretzels.

Our server, Umberto, was attentive and pleasant and took good care of us; he was the best part of our evening. However, this is the first and last time I'll ever eat at Entourage. They promise "a dining experience" on their website, but I could get the same experience at your average Chili's or TGIFriday's without the pretense. Why do I say that? It's the noise...oh, the noise. There were a few tables with large parties, so it was pretty loud. Even leaning in closely, it was hard for my friend and me to hear each other talk. And the screaming kids were something else, emitting ear-piercing screams that get your attention, for all the wrong reasons. I didn't see any staff ask the large parties to keep it down or ask the parents to manage their children, which I guess I can understand. Large parties = more revenue than a two-top. But we did not - could not - linger after we ate our meals, or order coffee, dessert, and/or an after-dinner drink, because it was just too loud in there.

    Absolutely fantastic! I originally didn't think much of this place when checking out the menu…read moreonline because the food choices didn't look super interesting and the prices were a bit on the lower side. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I was completely wrong --- the portions are enormous, the textures are great, the flavors are incredible, and everything I tried was done very well. This is on top of fast friendly service, and a very unique interior. I went here with 3 friends and would absolutely love to come back again soon with even more. As I mentioned, the food here is just awesome. It's clear how much care is put into every single dish with the great presentation, attention to small details, and refined product. I highly recommend the tuna poke, maybe one of the best versions I've ever had of this dish. This has plenty of fish on top of extremely crispy wonton chips. The mix of creamy avocado puree, jalapeno salsa, honey wasabi, and sriracha aioli is incredible. This reminds me of the bold flavor combinations at Girl and the Goat at a lower price point. The bang bang shrimp was another winner with super crispy tempura shrimp served with a delicious sweet chili sauce and cabbage slaw. For anyone who's ever had this dish at Bonefish Grill, you'll be thrilled with this version as well which comes with a very generous amount of shrimp. The burgers were also on point -- both enormous in size and full of flavor in every layer. In addition to perfectly cooked patties (this was great for both the beef and bison I tried), I was pleased that all the components of the burger were very flavorful and well done. That is, the brioche bread was slightly toasted inside, the pickles had just the right level of acidity and texture, the pork belly was super flavorful in itself and cooked great without making the dish feel too fatty, the egg was slightly runny, and the vegetables were all super fresh. Unsurprisingly, their sides were prepared to perfection as well -- with crunchy onion rings and super tasty fries. Overall, this restaurant is worth a special trip and I aim to try every single starter they make soon. It's not often that I'll be thinking about a restaurant long after dining there but the excellence displayed here has left a lasting impression both with myself and my friends that dined here. The excellent meal here definitely made for a very memorable birthday dinner for the party.

I started with the salted watermelon margarita, which was tasty and refreshing with a nice fruity flavor. It wasn't overly strong, making it easy to sip throughout the meal. For appetizers, we shared the spinach dip, calamari, and buffalo bites. The spinach dip was good, and the chips had a nice salty crunch. The calamari was pretty standard, but there was way too much breading, the squid-to-breading ratio was way off. For my entrée, I ordered the steak bowl. Unfortunately, it wasn't that great. The menu description mentioned quinoa and brown rice, but they were practically nonexistent. There were maybe a few grains of brown rice in the entire dish, and it mostly consisted of a handful of steak cubes and vegetables. The flavor and sauce were good, but it wasn't very filling. Thankfully, I had already filled up on the appetizers. For dessert, I tried the crème brûlée cheesecake. Honestly, it was nothing special and tasted like a thawed frozen cheesecake with some cheap berry compote on the side. Overall, Yard House is a fine option for hosting large groups thanks to its spacious setup, but I wouldn't come here expecting amazing food. The experience was fine, but the food itself was pretty average at most.

When we're in town, we hit up all the old favorites, and Miller's Ale House was on the menu on June 25th. We had dinner plans with friends later, but we squeezed in a lunch date with beer and a shared appetizer. Their wings are legendary, so we ordered 12 to go with our brews. Let's get to the review. Service was top-notch - our host greeted us with a smile, and our waiter was on point. We got our beers within five minutes, no problem. The ambiance was cozy, well-lit, and bustling with sports tv and ambient noise. But here's the kicker - we waited 30 minutes for our wings. Yeah, it was 1:30 when we arrived and the place was pretty empty, but that's no excuse. Now why did give a rating of two? Well, for the service and ambiance only. We were served our wings at 2:00. How were the wings you maybe wondering? My Husband and I eagerly grab wing flats. 'Can these bones live?' Eating those wings immediately reminded me of Ezekiel 37 in the Old testament after he saw skeletons scattered about asked, "Can these bones live?" The wings were drier than the Sahara, and the honey barbecue sauce was just a weak attempt to revive the corpse. Can these dry out wings live up to being freshly made and juicy covered up by a tasty honey barque sauce? Hell to the naw, naw naw!!! We called our waiter over explained our dissatisfaction with a request to remove the wings off our bill. We still tipped him, because hey, he's not the wing assassin. since he only served the food and it was the kitchen that prepared that saucy dressed up trash plated up real pretty. What a let down Miller's. We noticed your price increase for six wings cut in half sold as 12 pieces. If you expect customers to pay more for less than you should be serving your best, that is cooked fresh not food that is precooked sitting for hours then reheated. I did check your reviews which were not the best and gave you the benefit of a doubt despite low ratings. Would I recommend Miller's? Sure, if you enjoy eating dry wings and wondering if they'll crawl off your plate. However, to each their own, your money, your call. This economy has got me rethinking the whole 'strike three and you're out' deal. Paying more for less, subpar service, unnecessary waiting time, honey it is now, strike one, you're on out as my time and coins are valuable and restaurants are hurting so I will search for one where I can get the love I deserve.
