Food was great I enjoyed my chicken sandwich. It was a lot of food. Husband loved his tater tots and his burger he said it needed more flavor. We had good cocktails. Our server was great. Check up on us from time to time. Atmosphere is ok. Usual pub kinda place.
Ordered the bucket of sliders amazing was really good. Hopefully they add this to the menu permanently. It was just a special, but it was delicious. It was perfect for two people. The burgers were perfectly top perfectly. Joel server was amazing. Thank you for the great service.
Went out to dinner with my family. Luckily, it was half off Tuesday for burgers, which was a good surprise. We ordered the bacon, black & blue burger, the fam burger, and the kobe burger with fries and tatter tots. My daughter ordered the barbacoa treet tacos, which the meat was tender, but fatty chuncks were on the meat. The meat was salty and over spiced. The service is always top-notch. Thank you, Emma, our server. There's plenty of parking across the street from the restaurant. Overall, I will come back again.

First time trying this place out and it was so good! I had the 113 Burger on a gluten free bun and it was 10/10 my wife had the Chicken fried chicken and she said that was 100/10 I tasted the chicken it was really juicy and the flavor was so good. Will definitely be coming back to try out more dishes. The waitress was also really nice and friendly.
Went here for brunch and enjoyed bottomless mimosas, shrimp and scallops, peach and honey flatbread, calamari, and the burger with friends and family. Everything was amazing. Service was great, and we had the best time. Will be going back soon!!!

Last friday, we stopped by Neat Kitchen's newest location in Oswego, and it was an unforgettable experience! The food was absolutely amazing—each dish was delicious and beautifully presented; the truffle fries were AMAZING, bursting with flavor!! We also tried their several of their specialty cocktails: the Sunset Serpent and the Blood Orange Paloma were a refreshing delight! My compliments to the bartender!! The service was simply outstanding ⭐️X10 We noticed that the owner was very present, chatting with the patrons and ensuring we were experiencing the high quality of service we've come to expect from Neat. If you're looking for DELICIOUS food and outstanding service, I highly recommend visiting Neat Kitchen.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Can’t wait to go back!!!
My family and I had a wonderful dining experience at Neat Kitchen and Bar. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by the restaurant's inviting atmosphere - modern yet cozy, with thoughtful lighting and a comfortable buzz of happy diners. The food was absolutely stellar. Their burger was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful with all the right toppings and a perfectly toasted bun. The salads were fresh and generously portioned, featuring crisp ingredients and well-balanced dressings that complemented rather than overwhelmed the vegetables. The kids' chicken tenders - something that can be mediocre at many restaurants, but Neat Kitchen and Bar gets them just right. With the tender chicken inside and a perfectly crispy coating that our son loved. This place strikes that perfect balance of being upscale enough for a nice dinner out while still being family-friendly. It's clear why Neat Kitchen and Bar has become a local favorite. Highly recommended for both family dinners and casual dining!
We have dined here twice, once at the bar and once at a table. We really enjoyed the food, atmosphere & the genuine staff. This is the piece that Oswego was missing! An elevated restaurant/bar with a unique happy hour and upscale vibe. I loved the blood orange Paloma! My husband enjoys their whiskey selection. We love the mussels, burgers, potato soup, Caesar salad with salmon & you cannot miss out on their chocolate chip bread pudding! I cannot fail to mention the bartender, Alex, who was attentive and ensured we had a great experience. The manager Anthony also stopped by while we dined at the bar to introduce himself and tell us about all of the great things to come in the future at Neat! We can’t wait to watch this establishment grow and add a new element of dining to the community.

I highly recommend the cheese curds, very tasty. I had the fried shrimp with buffalo sauce. First 6 were warm and then the last 4 were cold. You could feel the trail was still frozen. Mac and cheese is delicious, fries have a unique taste. A 3% CC fee is added, careful. Overall, this restaurant is a pretty chill place.
Went back to this restaurant. Wife had the Mahi Mahi tacos. . She loved them . I had the South your mouth. DELICIOUS. We also had the egg rolls appetizer. So good. Levy was our server. Super sweet . The pizzas looked interesting. Going back to try that.
I will definitely keep coming back to this restaurant who has good friendly service and outstanding food. I had an amazing, famous steak sandwich which is one of a kind! I will go back and try more of their dishes on the menu and keep posting my reviews

This is my go to spot! I absolutely love everything about this spot. My wife and I come here so often the workers/owners already know our order by memory lol! Great service, clean environment, and amazing food. I always get the passion fruit green tea with strawberry boba and chicken pho with brisket. I've had a few other items of the menu and overall this place always hits the spot. Many of my friends who I have brought or recommended this spot have said it's great as well. I pray and hope this place will continue to serve the community for many years to come!
This restaurant is truly outstanding. The service and food are top-notch and they never fail to impress. I absolutely love their Vietnamese pho noodles, spring roll shrimp, and iced coffee. I'm a regular here and I always look forward to coming back. Thank you for providing such exceptional food and service! Your existence is truly appreciated!
I LOVE this place! The pork sandwich is delicious!!! Their smoothies and flavored green teas are all delicious! This is my favorite discovery since moving to the area.
Portillo’s Oswego is a vibrant dining destination that brings the iconic flavors of Chicago-style cuisine to the heart of the community. Known for its fast-casual atmosphe…
Drive thru. I don’t think the lady fully understood my English. Beef sandwich was not dipped, had no hot peppers, (was charged) and given small fries instead of larges. The sandwich also had no beef on it and was lukewarm. Fire the worker on the line in charge of beef, today. Completely unacceptable. These results are understandable for a weekend. It’s a Monday. Used to work here 3 years ago, temperature regulations and attention to detail on your most valued menu item are essential… man how the service has gone downhill. Awful.
Update: Didn't like how a person at register didn't understand my mother like she wasn't speaking English correctly, but the dipped Italian beef was actually pretty good, and I have no complaints about food quality just be mindful of how you talk to customers because it took everything in my power not to say anything. It's always a good go-to spot for Italian beef, and they have great food, so if you want a feel of Chicago food, then give them a try because they have numerous locations available.
I lived in Chicago till 2006 and ate alot at Portillo's , A beef hot dog and sausage man...Today my wife picked up a Combo for my dinner, $10.50 I got a short piece of sausage and 2 skinny slices of beef..WHERES THE BEEF? I can remember when a Beef was under a dollar.and you could get all the green peppers you wanted for NO extra cost.Great tasting food just not enough of it, anywAY WHEN DO YOU HAVE TO PAY EXTRA FOR A SANDWICH WITH SOME MEAT ON IT? when I had a taste for a Beef I also went to a place called Connie's, beefs ( Chicago-North Ave.)were .65 cents then , late 50,s early 60,s..You think when paying over $10 for a beef you would get one that would fill you up, now I'll have to make a TV dinner or a can of sardines...REALLY! what happen to the good old days...Jimmy's hot dog is still there at Grand and Pulaski, wish I was there now.. I guess Ill get my food elsewhere before they start charging extra for Gravy and Bread......

This was my third time here. The service has been efficient and the staff has been kind each time. For as busy as it is, it isn’t too loud, which is refreshing. The food is fresh and flavorful and there are a variety of options for both breakfast and lunch. I am typically cold everywhere we go, however, the temperature was just perfect. I ordered the egg and bacon quesadillas (I added avocado), which were delicious and satisfying. My husband had the Tuscany omelette, which he thoroughly enjoyed. We will continue to be customers!
I can't remember what the delicious omlette I had was called- I know it was a special- but it was delicious. The banana nut bread was dense and amazing. The caramel iced mocha was huge and tasty! Highly recommend!
Here again! My favorite skillet (veggie w/bacon less the zucchini)! Fresh Fresh Fresh! You can taste every item in the skillet...bacon is BACON...not overcooked, just right where one can tell it's actually bacon.

I cannot say a bad word about this place! Hubby and I were in town for a work trip and ordered carrot. Best pizza we’ve had! So so good, fresh and perfect
I tried Giordano’s on a recent trip to Plainfield area. I have to say this is one of the best pizza places in the area. Service was quick and pizza was ready on time. The prices were a little higher compared to some other pizza places in the area, but the quality was much greater. I tried both the thin crust and the deep dish. The cheese and toppings on both were a generous amount, the sauce had a rich flavour and was seasoned well. The think crust was excellent nice buttery/crispy taste. The deep dish crust was also good, however it was a little soggy in the centre. Overall great pizzas, great taste, would definitely recommend you try them out if you’re looking for a new pizza to try.
Dined in, ordered a deep dish pie, pan pie, and pasta dish. Took about 40-45 minutes until they arrived. Service was good--waitress was attentive and kept our glasses full while we waited. A topping was left off our deep dish pizza (whatever, it happens.) Food was good. Crusts were crispy and toasty, pan pizza had crisped parmesan baked into it. Sauce was tomatoey and fresh. Toppings were plentiful and their flavors came through. A good authentic CHI deep dish pie. As far as pizza goes in general, satisfying, but nothing to get hyped about. Solid 3 stars.

It was a little confusing trying to use a gift card on the tabletop pay kiosk, and it felt like the menu was kind of small and prices were higher than I would've liked. Despite that, the food was alright! Not a bad visit!
Chili was so salty same with fries which the waitress said "that is the way the fries are made" who in the world likes salty fries, never in my life has any one ever said the fries need more salt, you could feel and see all the salt on the fries yet offered to remake them. The chips and salsa are good. I Didn't like the visit, it was so bad it drained my day from happy to eat something to tasting this chilli that was the worst, and had to drink a lot of water just to get the bad taste out, and made me full, the burger was good., Service needs improvement while our server was good I think she should have been a lot better. Everyone wants 15 to 25 % and some servers get a lot more from me.
Check your carry out! It’s about 50/50. Chicken tenders so overcooked they were inedible. Did not receive honey mustard sauces we requested. It’s not enough to count the items; unfortunately you need to check the food, especially when over $75.00 for 2 appetizers, a triple dipper & buffalo wings. Sometimes it’s great; others its garbage. Too far to take it back.

From the classic Reuben to gyro-style delights, loaded hoagies, and the iconic tuna melt, there's a flavor for every foodie.
We decided to try somewhere new and ventured to this cute restaurant. It has a mom and pop type feel and the staff is friendly. Our food was hot and fresh and they seemed very organized. It's a small restaurant so the only downfall is you might have to wait and there isn't a lot of room inside. I highly recommend it for breakfast.
Awesome small diner! Gets packed fast as the food was really great. Large portions. Had delicious biscuits and gravy! Fresh biscuits! Gravy was creamy and not super salty. Bacon strip and sausage are good quality. Definitely will swing by again if in neighborhood.
