Egg sandwich on brioche. Overveasy with maple bacon and home fries. Very filling
Pamela O.

Ordered a maple bacon egg sandwich on brioche and home fries. The orange juice was fresh. Great customer service. Would highly recommend

Went to First Watch Naperville for brunch with a friend visiting from out of town. The food was tasty, portions were just right, and service was friendly. The place has a nice, casual vibe and is great for catching up over the labor day weekend. the wait time was not at all longer. Overall, a good spot I'd come back to!

Powerwrap
Teri M.

Saturday morning @ 7 am. Pretty empty. Seated immediately. Ordered coffee, a powerwrap, and steel cut oatmeal. Coffee was served in a carafe, and left on table. Love when a restaurant does this. Coffee was excellent. Variety of creamers on table. Food came quickly, and was served hot. Beautiful presentation. Wrap and oatmeal were both great. Service was very good. We will return.

Their BLT with egg sandwich
Jaci Y.

It's a beautiful farm theme brunch place. It's located in the Amazon fresh market. I love their menu. Healthy style brunch. I had their banana crunch pancake and their bacon egg BLT. I felt it was more of an egg sandwich. It was really good time with my mom. I would recommend this brunch place if you're looking for an American healthy brunch place.

I like the food and drinks here. Been here many times and this is my first time posting my review for this place. Their morning drinks are all very refreshing and delicious! Worth trying every single one!

Good food Excellent service Great ambience This place never disappoints. Went there for brunch with work colleagues

Chickichanga and mimosa
Jasmine S.

A party of four went to the location at 12:30pm for brunch. While the location does not take reservations, you can check yourself in on their website to be on a guestlist if needed. When we arrived we sat pretty fast. The crowed kept growing once we sat. We were greeted with our server asking if we would like coffee of any other drink. They offer alcoholic beverages as well. Nice perk of coffee, they will leave you a whole kettle at the table. The food came out pretty fast and we never felt rushed. I ordered the Chickichanga. It was cooked well. The potatoes as a side were delicious and the fruit stole the show. So fresh and sweet.

Healthy Turkey
Jason Y.

Nice selection and fair prices for a breakfast place. Super clean and the staff is friendly. Had the healthy turkey egg white omelet, solid portion. Tomatoes were a little "wintery" but that's this time of year. Coffee is excellent and you get a nice carafe to get juiced up.

Holiday Menu
Hayley T.

I go here all the time with my family and they're incredibly efficient. We didn't make a reservation and was seated in 15 minutes despite how busy they were. If I had to describe this place in one word it would be efficient. The food comes out quickly and we were able to pay with a QR code from our seating while we were finishing up our drinks. If the holiday menu is still around, I highly recommend the Red Medicine drink. My dish, the Chickichanga is what I always get. My sister, who got the waffles said they have the same aftertaste as Eggo Waffles in a bad way. I loved how open the place was and it didn't get too loud. It felt clean and aesthetically and genuinely despite the rush they have.

walking in the atmosphere and energy is nice. the service is friendly and great even the passing staff. great menu options, food and drinks. definitely will be becoming a regular here to try more options

Million Dollar Bacon
M J.

We tried this location since we were in the area and was not disappointed. The inside of this location is actually really nice. Service was wonderful. The food was very good. Still love the candy bacon. I think this location makes it the best so far. the chicken avocado salad was delicious. The biscuits and gravy were good, but the gravy was a bit too peppery. I would completely come back to this location.

Victoria S.

We were sat pretty quickly with a short wait due to being busy from the holiday. I got an omelette and changed for egg whites, I enjoyed my meal! Only detracting a star because the server's attitude felt robotic and not authentic, my water wasn't refilled and we weren't engaged other than a breeze-by check in. Good location, nice sized portions with easy parking, would recommend!

(Yes. I know. I showed my age ) I love the history of this place. It was designed and built by the owner and his dad. It's an amazing and extraordinary place! Not many restaurants outlived Covid. The fact that this place has thrived! Is an amazing accomplishment of its own! How many independent businesses survived during and after??? Think about it... take your time. So many businesses failed. Sadly. This place has stood the test of time! As crazy as it may seem. It still stands!!! That is the American dream!!! The owner has built this place with his love, blood, sweat and tears! It's a place that will remember your name. Every. Single. Person. Welcome and excepted!!!

Old Town Pour House surprised me with how vegetarian-friendly it was for a sports bar…read more We tried the pretzel bites, Kung Pao cauliflower, Southern Mac & Cheese, a flatbread, and finished with the skillet cookie and ice cream. The Southern Mac & Cheese was probably the standout for me -- creamy, with a nice kick and crispy onions on top. Portions across the board were very generous, so it's definitely worth keeping that in mind before ordering too much. We had a really nice evening here. There's plenty of space, TVs everywhere, and the whole place has that lively sports-bar energy without feeling cramped. We were there while the IU-Northwestern game was on, so it was especially fun if you enjoy watching a game while eating with friends. The overall experience felt relaxed and easy, which makes it a good option for meeting up with a group. Between the dedicated vegetarian section, big portions, lively atmosphere, and game-day setup, it's much better for vegetarians than I expected from a traditional sports bar. And definitely save room for the skillet cookie.

It was kind of chilly but we were next to a fireplace and a little later they turned on the burner stands. Our server stopped by a few times but we let him know we are waiting for a few others. When all of us were there, he took drink orders as we looked over the menu. We eventually ordered our food and the server was great with answering our questions. I ordered a combo meal with grilled wings and ribs. I requested just flats for the wings and he accommodated. I got French Fries and mashed potatoes. The wings were good and I dipped it in the habanero sauce. The ribs were tangy and had some meat on the bones. The meal only came with 4 wings and 4 ribs but it was plenty and I was full at the end. Maybe it was double the carbs. I enjoyed the food and loved catching up with the guys.

The difference is there's also wine tasting in the same space. If you can exert self-control and bypass all that, the restaurant is spacious, takes reservations, and service is always friendly. Happy hour is a must as there's a nice handful of wines and bites that will please the palette. I especially like the sliders and the fried shrimp though the latter doesn't look like much. The regular menu has pasta, meats, salads, and lighter offerings which is perfect if you don't have the appetite of a small army. You'll get asked if you're part of Cooper's wine club which is convenient and informative. It also gives you access to member dinner nights that have discounted menu pricing. Not a bad deal if you're just getting started on your wine journey or just want a nice place to come on a regular basis. The grilled tenderloin medallions are really tasty and come with veggies and a sweet ancho jus that brings the plate altogether.

We were actually running a bit behind, so my wife called and informed the front desk, and they made accommodations for us. We ordered the Over The Border Egg Rolls as a starter. They were nice and crispy, full of flavor and tasty. They were however, right on the cusp of being salty. We all felt that way, which kind of sucked, but mind you, we all don't really eat a lot of salt, so how palates are a bit different from others. They were still good though. For dinner, I had the Tim's Favorite Chicken Giardiniera and my wife had Gnocchi Butternut Squash and my mother in-law had the Pistachio Crusted Grouper. My wish was pretty freakin good. I had to stop myself from eating the whole thing. The chicken was pretty thin and crisp but not dry at all! The giardiniera add the right amount of heat, spice and brightness to the dish. The cheese played well in the background and the mash potatoes were nice and smooth. I wish they had a bit more wasabi flavor though. My wife and mother-in's food was also pretty good. I think we all took home left-overs! A- -Gone.......

The restaurant itself is very small, with a bar and just a handful of tables, but that's part of its charm. It genuinely feels like the kind of pub you'd stumble into while traveling outside the U.S. Thankfully, we were lucky enough to walk in and find a table ready for us. My wife and I started with the pretzels and beer cheese appetizer, which was a delicious way to kick things off. For our entrees, I went with the fried pickle burger, while my wife ordered the buffalo chicken wrap. The burger was perfectly juicy, and honestly, it was one of the best, if not the best, burgers I've had in Naperville. The buffalo chicken wrap was very good as well, with a nice kick from the buffalo sauce. Overall, Jackson Avenue Pub has that cozy, authentic pub atmosphere that's hard to find, along with some really tasty food. Definitely a spot we'd come back to!

I was even more excited after finding out it had been nominated for one of the best burgers in Naperville, I'm always up for a great burger. The restaurant is located in the heart of downtown Naperville. Parking can be challenging, but we visited on a weekday between 2 and 3 p.m., so we were able to find a spot without much trouble. When we walked in, we seated ourselves since there wasn't a hostess. Although the restaurant looks small from the outside, the layout is well designed, so it never felt cramped. Our server was friendly, attentive, and impressively efficient. She was handling both serving and bartending duties with only one food runner helping, yet she still provided excellent customer service. One thing I really appreciated was the ability to customize your burger by choosing your preferred protein and bun. My wife ordered the Cowboy Burger. It was good, but I definitely enjoyed my burger more. I went with the Diablo Burger, and it did not disappoint. The 1/2 pound beef patty was cooked perfectly juicy, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. The roasted jalapeños and sriracha sauce added just the right amount of heat, while the bacon and fried egg brought even more richness and texture. The toasted pretzel bun held everything together beautifully. Taking that first bite and watching the creamy egg yolk run down the burger made every bite even more satisfying. My wife and I left very happy with our meal. Whenever we're back in the Naperville area, we've already agreed that this place will definitely be on our list to visit again.
