    Han and eggs, home made rye toast.
    Peter T.

    Papa Gs is an all-day diner located in Huntley, IL, a far distant suburb of Chicago. In the before times, it was one of my regular go-to's for breakfast out, but I haven't back in until today. Their service is without fault, the food is terrific, and everything on the menu is fairly priced and a good value. I usually go for breakfast, and I did today, and what draws me to their breakfast (besides your food being prepared exactly how you order it) is their homemade bread option for toast.  I get the rye and it's superb. Got my eggs "up" and asked for my potatoes to be extra crispy, they were, and for the ham to have a little char on it (it did), I like the texture that gives the pork.  Their ham is "off the bone" meaning, sliced from a whole or half ham, not one of those weird chewy ham slices loaded with a brine injection that most places serve. Like most diners of this type in the area, most lunch and dinner entrees come with a complimentary bowl of soup in addition to your choice of sides.  Breakfast is served all day. There are daily specials, usually found on a board in the vestibule, or ask your server. Another feature I like about area diners is the tabletop offerings, always plenty of condiments, sweeteners, spreads for toast, a basket of creamer, and one chock-a-block full of butter and Papa G's is no exception. Like most places, Papa Gs has had some difficulty getting staffing levels back to normal and looking around the room, I'm gonna take a wild guess that a lot of family members are filling in.  And that's terrific, isn't it? The restaurant has a very lengthy menu of choices, no matter what time of day you're dining. The restaurant is located at 10502 IL-47, Huntley, IL 60142, just a few miles north of the I-80 Huntley exit. I'm happy they survived the difficulties, and wish them the best of luck for their continued success.  Oh, and the homemade bread?  You can get a loaf to go if you like! Hours are  5A-9P Monday thru Saturday and until 3 PM on Sunday.

    This place was good! I've heard good things and read all the reviews. The reviews didn't disappoint. Located off 47, in Huntley it's one of the only breakfast spots / diners in the area. The prices are better than Maple and Hash and Brunch Cafe- much more affordable. Food came out quick and piping hot, just as ordered! The menu is big which I loved! The offer lunch , apps, soups, salads, breakfast, sides, kids menu. They have booth seating, a bar, and tables. You are greeted by a hostess upon arrival who will seat you. Didn't visit the restrooms so I can't comment on those. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. She mentioned to another table she's been working there 20 years so they know how to treat their employees! Lots of regulars appeared to be dining today. Parking lot is large but difficult to get out of if turning south onto 47. Hours are posted in picture below. They do offer take out. They have homemade bread and it was delicious! The hashbrowns were ok- I should have added the peppers and onions for an up charge.

    Oh my...I love this place. The owner is so kind and the food is just delicious! It's definitely my favorite breakfast place in the area. I can't wait to go back! We've never had a bad meal at Papa Gs!

    Shortly after we visited they repaired the parking lot. I'll just go ahead and assume it's because I said something! :)

    Live right near here so it's a family favorite. I personally love the meatloaf or three roasted turkey.

    Fast and tasty. Forget the franchise restaurants if you are in the area. Skillets are amazing as are the croissant breakfast sandwiches.

    This place is EASILY my favorite brewery in IL…read more I have been visiting More Brewing for several years now and I have never once left without being totally pleased with what I drank or ate. The Food They have a very diverse and inclusive menu. We are able to go with adult friends and/or our children and everyone is able to find something that suits them and they always seem to speak very highly of what they ordered. Their Pretzel is amazing, they have some of the best Cheese curds I have ever had, decent pizzas, Huge salads, and plenty of vegetarian options. I would be more than happy with their food even if they didn't have amazing beer. The Beer I have yet to try a beer from More Brewing that I didn't enjoy. Even the styles i typically do not enjoy. I think this speaks volumes to their brewers and the amazing work they are doing. I am an IPA fan and theirs are just better than most I have had. They even released a Malort Collab and it was unbelievable. If you're simply in the market for delicious cold refreshments, they have you covered. Staff I personally have never interacted with anyone that worked here that wasn't very pleasant to interact with. Everyone has a very chill, happy energy. The vibes here are always great and that goes a long way for someone like me. Merch If you're into Brewery swag, they have a cool storefront with excellent quality shirts and glasses. I will say, their glasses do not hold up well to traditional dishwashers so expect to handwash if you don't want lose the decals they apply to their glasses. I already tell everyone I know how much i love this place and how they have to try it, so the obvious next step was to tell the yelp world!

    We chose outdoor seating even though it looked like a construction site, with crappy tables, WORST…read moreCHAIRS EVER! (so uncomfortable!!! not good for a bar that wants to keep people drinking) AND there were ONLY 2 other tables occupied (between 12 and 1!!! that has to mean something.) i went inside to check it out and only 3 tables were occupied. ok....FIRST- mas nachos....when i order from Bartlett MORE, the sauces are hot and it works. These were cold (now i wonder if they are SUPPOSED to be hot). The Italian beef eggrolls were also COLD (my granddaughter didnt tell me until today when i was collecting information from my guests). She said when she warmed them up at home they were good. :/ The Korean wings got a good review. The Nashville hot Chicken was not as good as Bartlett location, ALL fries were limp and should have been SO MUCH BETTER considering only 7 tables were occupied. The vooDoo fries were so undercooked it was sad as FRIES can carry the day lol. i cannot say i would recommend. we all felt our SERVER WAS GREAT, i brought my puppy and he asked if she needed a bowl of water). he was attentive and SO PATIENT/tolerant (had 2, 90 year-olds, 2 early twenties, one of them vegetarian). The 2 90 year olds didnt order anything. They said they moght have gotten a dessert but the 4 selections were all pretty much the same, gloppy. The Black Bean Burger was deemed "really good" and the Tuna Poke bowl review was, "it was good. The tuna seemed fresh." Both items may have been appreciated due to the margarita flight that was ordered to accompany. I recommend the Bartlett location. its smaller but they might have their sh*t together.
