We were pleasantly surprised to find out apps were 25% off- which meant we had to try the pretzel. I think it may have been the biggest pretzel I've ever seen in my life. The outside was a melt-in-your-mouth fried texture with the inside being soft and doughy in the best way. Paired with any of the 3 dips, it made for the most delicious appetizer that essentially filled up our entire table itself. Special shoutout to the arse sauce & their honey mustard- sooo good. The table also tried the buffalo chicken wrap (YUM), caprese sandwich (good!), and penne alla vodka (somewhat mid but better as leftovers). Sweet potato tots were the perfect side. This was my third time here and they honestly never disappoint. Service & food always hit. My go to spot when visiting Plainfield!

Luckily, this visit was much better We arrived right after they opened on Saturday afternoon. The location was easy to find and there was a decent amount of parking. For lunch, we shared the 1.5lb pretzel which was more than enough for our group of 5 1/2 people. As for my burger, I got their Blue Cheeseburger. Overall, it was a decent burger. Good flavor, cooked a nice medium rare which I wanted. Our waitress was nice and friendly and the price was reasonable for 2 adults and 1 kid

Found out about this restaurant in Oswego after learning it has a couple locations around. It has a…read moreclassy casualness about it. Neat Kitchen And Bar is still a lot more casual though. A happy hour always helps. The food can get pricy but there's a few things at okay prices. Coming here was actually kind of hard because of where it actually is. It's kind of hidden from the main road. There's only one way to get in here and you have to make the correct turns. Has a bar with a good amount of seats at it. Rest of the inside has plenty of tables. It's $7 for cocktail specials at happy hour. The best one of these we got was the Caramel Harvest Spritz. Has a sweetness to it. This is made with apple cider, soda, and Wheatley vodka. It's $14 for the B.Y.O.B. Burger. We added $1 more to get the veggie patty. Looks a lot like a typical burger. These come with a side such as fries. Have to say it turned out pretty good actually. It's closed Mondays. There's another location in Westmont.

Neat Kitchen is exactly what Oswego's dining scene has been missing. We finally have a non-fast…read morefood, non-chain restaurant that's actually worth sitting down and dining at. While it's not overly fancy, more of an elevated bar-food concept, it still exceeded all of my expectations. They've also done an incredible job remodeling the space that used to be Prohibition. The ambiance is warm and welcoming while still feeling cozy and refined. The drinks are fantastic & honestly, I'd come here just for cocktails and appetizers with friends. My group ordered an Old Fashioned, a Manhattan, and I went with the Golden Cider, which was like a fall-inspired Moscow Mule. We all loved our drinks and would definitely order them again. For an appetizer, we shared the mussels (a family favorite). The portion size was impressive & easily more than what you get at most places & the sauce was absolutely delicious. The accompanying bread complemented it perfectly. I'd absolutely reorder this. For my meal, I went with the Shrimp Po'Boy since it's not something you often see around here, while the others in my party tried the Wagyu burger and loved it. The shrimp on my sandwich were perfectly battered and fried, and the sandwich itself was enormous with great flavor and portion size all around. Service was great as well; our waitress was friendly and attentive, and we had a wonderful overall experience. I'm genuinely so happy that Oswego finally has a solid local dining option. I highly recommend checking out Neat Kitchen whether for a casual dinner, a night out with friends, or just drinks and apps, it's a fantastic addition to the area. I wish I did a better job at taking photos but we were all so hungry and excited that I forgot lol

We reserved Gray's Mill for my son's Rehearsal Dinner. They set us up on the 3rd floor with our…read moreown bartender and servers. The wait staff service was outstanding and Adam, the bartender was excellent. Appeitzers were delicious - spinach artichoke dip and meatballs with marinara. We provided our guests with the choice of Fish&Chips, Grilled Chicken Sandwich or the Wienerschnitzel...kids were given a Chicken Tender Meal. Everyone truly enjoyed their meals. I appreciated they allowed a special meal for the MOB who is a vegetarian. The sugar donuts at the end of the meal were a hit! :) Alyssa, the party coordinator for the venue was super accomodating and super easy to work with. It does take a few days for response time - BUT, I always got a response. And she was always willing to give us everything we asked for! The venue even let us in earlier than requested to set up our decor. We would definitely recommend this venue for a bridal/baby shower or birthday party - any special event that is smaller in numbers. The venue has been advertising a new addition to the space next to building but it seems the construction has haulted. It is a shame because it is a bit of an eyesore - BUT, if they complete this addition, it will be beautiful. Hope they are able to complete it. The Gray's Mills has history with it's town so I hope locals will continue to support it. When we come back to visit our son and my new daughter-in-law, we will definitely be back for a visit - especially if the weather is nice!! They have a great outdoor patio along the Fox River just outside the restaurant on the bottom floor. Thank you Gray's Mill Estate!!

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.

Also beers. It's $9 for the Anchor Bar Lager. This comes in a big ass glass though. A lot of levels of spiciness for the wings allowing for all preferences. It's about $15 to get the Meatless Wings. Kind of small but there's a good amount. Then choose how hot to get these. Famous brand that has a few locations across the country. It's got plenty of extreme spiciness. They even have versions okay for vegetarians.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception here at Pearces on 09/20/20, amidst a global pandemic,…read moreand I could not recommend them more for ANY event you need! Alan and Chris (the owners) were absolute pleasures to work with. They were seriously on top of everything!We opted to have a small wedding and reception of about 50 people due to Covid-19, and we decided to have a very short engagement of only 4 months to race before the virus got really bad. I was in a crunch to find a venue that wasn't my parents backyard, and I had looked at legitimately 300 places before I found Pearces. I reached out to inquire for more info, and Chris got back to me ASAP and had me out there to show me the grounds and talk prices with me very last minute. Their grounds are beautiful; the golf course is very well maintained and their patio/deck has a great feel. We had our ceremony on the golf grounds and had several areas and options to chose, and our sit-down dinner reception in their large tented area in the back by the ceremony area. They took covid protocols seriously as well. The tent was beautiful, clean and huge! Their communication was excellent; I had several questions/concerns as a bride who is trying to plan a short notice wedding with covid restrictions, so needless to say I was a little crazy. They took the time to respond and answer all of my questions, and made me feel very at ease. The venue situation was the least of my worries during the entire 4 months of planning! The price for the venue was OUTSTANDING and the food options and packages were amazing. We chose the chicken and salmon food package and my guests continue to tell me how good the food was! We drew up a simple and easy contract and paying for everything was simple.We had a large bridal party of 22 people, not including parents and our bridal parties spouses. When trying to plan the rehearsal dinner, Chris and Alan sat down with me and my family and talked about what we could do with food and how to arrange things. We ended up having quite a few extra people than expected at the rehearsal dinner, and it got quite tight, but Chris and Alan and the staff did an amazing job at making us feel as though we were the most important party there, kept up with the new high demand, and was very attentive to all of the orders, drinks and needs during the rehearsal dinner. I was insanely impressed as it turned out 45 people had ended up coming in total. (Sorry about that again, Alan and Chris!) The actual wedding went without a hinge. They let my family in early to start decorating early, and were very flexible and accommodating to requests we had for the actual wedding.The staff and owners at Pearces made me feel as though my wedding was the most important event to them and they took it personally to provide a great time! The servers and bar were awesome during the sit down dinner, and they were constantly helping me throughout the whole night with different things I needed. We had gone a few times to eat dinner there before the wedding and every time the staff was excellent. Pleasant, attentive and personable. We had an AMAZING experience and I could not recommend them enough for any event you're wanting to host!Thank you all to the Pearces staff for making our wedding day such an incredible and amazing experience. Not everyone can say they had that! And you all played a huge role towards that! With much love and thanks, Russell and Courtney Raschk

First time coming and I'd have to give it maybe 3 stars. We were greeted nearly immediately upon…read moreentering, only one other table of patrons when we arrived. No music or any background sound so it was kind of an awkward setting to sit and eat. Too quiet really. Staff was kind and attentive, although the food was just meh. We happened to come in on a special night for buy one, get one entrees so that certainly helped as the price was a bit on the steep side especially considering what you're paying for. Mozzarella sticks for example were $12 which, I dunno, kinda seems high for a simple appetizer. We ended up splitting a burger, a buffalo chicken wrap, and some chicken pasta between the three of us. The burger definitely began as a frozen patty without much flavor and certainly nothing to get overly excited about. The wrap had just a small handful of buffalo chicken in it, as I found myself literally searching for it as it was eaten. Paid an extra $2 for sweet potato fries and they all tasted burnt. And the noodles just tasted like butter noodles with processed chicken breast. So... I don't know. I'd like to say we'd go again but I'm not too sure.
