    Great friendly home cooked diner in the lovely town of Howe. Owner is also friendly. This is our go to whenever we drive just halfway to Chicago. Awesome diner feel.

    I never expect much when pulling off the highway to grab lunch or dinner. Howe Restaurant is amazing! Angelo, the owner and chef, greeted us as we came in. He arrives at 2:30 am to get the soup going. It's a tomato soup with orzo and Greek spices - it's amazing. Try the soup!!!! Our server, P, gave us samples since we'd never heard of it. Our dinners were all fresh and delicious. Angelo said he makes everything from scratch. You can taste it. The meats and desserts are delivered from Chicago, he's very selective about his ingredients. Highly recommend stopping by the next time you're on interstate 80. Warning - it will NOT be a fast stop, Angelo is very talkative. But it's totally worth it!!

    The service saved at least one star that the carpet took away. Man, this carpet - just put it out of its misery already! Food is decent, especially for small town dining. Having to listen to Fox News during lunch left me wishing for other options. Plates are generously portioned and the coffee is good. Diana was our waitress, we liked her a lot. She's really sweet to the little kids here too. Adding edit because... I just can't understand why on this earth anyone would use canned mushrooms for anything these days. I've eaten here several times now, and keep getting disappointed by those pasty little flaps lurking in my food. And darn it, I like (real) mushrooms!

    Small family restaurant. Clean and well maintained. Appears to have employees that care. Lunch , I started with a cup of chili. Good not great , could have been hotter. Then a large salad with grilled chicken. Chicken was cold , so not fresh . Salad was very good and a large portion.

    This is the PERFECT small town diner. We came off the toll road looking for breakfast and Howe Restaurant filled the bill. Table service was excellent and the food was very good. This is a small restaurant in a small town. I expect there's a wait on the weekends. Five stars.

    We have heard nothing but great reviews about this place & looked forward to trying them! My husband picked up a pizza on his way home one evening and upon opening the box (at home)- the pizza looked strange. Literally half was cooked & half was undercooked. Toppings separated from the pizza crust. Very unappetizing and neither of us could finish. We called and were told that when my husband came in for breakfast the next day with a group- he would be refunded. Angelo was there and honored the refund & told us that next time we should ask for him to specifically make it. Unfortunately, we had no desire for another. My husband had a large breakfast & thought it was decent. Typical diner food. Recently at a family dinner, 3 more pizzas were ordered from here. While the pizzas actually seemed evenly cooked this time- we still didn't like them! We ended up with stomach aches. We have no desire to go back.

    Wonderful service and plenty of food!! Had a late breakfast. The meat lover skillet. It was very good!!

    Not good enough to finish. Lousy fries!
