    Chicken salad and grapes
    Dana C.

    Reuben was excellent. Glazed grapes are a real nice surprise. Chicken salad was good, mostly lettuce not something I would order again. Good service, clean, busy and not a lot of seating. Overall the prices are too high but consistently good food.

    The cornmeal pancakes and local syrup with a blueberry mule.

    Saturday breakfast of greater starters, lobster Benedict, and killer cornmeal pancakes. Nice beverage options as well. Service was informative, attentive, and waters stayed filled. And it was a perfect morning to sit outside and not an overwhelming noise of the street. Would have done back to back mornings if they were open on Sundays.

    Cute and cozy local coffee shop that has been around for forever. Many memories of dates and family events here. It is a smaller cafe so on the weekends it might be helpful to call ahead and see the availability. Lots of great natural light no matter where you sit and there is a small clean restroom. They serve Collectivo coffee from MKE and Omega Brewing beer from Omro. One of my favorite things to get here is their giant pieces of moist coffee cake. The portions are huge and everything is freshly made with care. We stopped back in this week and had the Moroccan ham sandwich, the newer Kimchi Reuben, and the corned beef and hash. There is always great service here and they let you hang around and visit with your company without feeling like a burden.

    Cheddar beer soup

    Excellent breakfast and lunch spot in Oshkosh. Super friendly service and a wide variety. The cheddar beer soup was a great way to start.

    Grilled chicken sandwich with cajun.

    I searched for a good place to have some lunch and this restaurant came up. I saw the reviews and I decided to give them a shot. It is first come first serve, so you don't have to wait to be seated. There may be a line but when I came, it was just me waiting. I asked for the latte of the day and it did not disappoint. Very good! I asked the ladies next to me what they were having and she had the chicken sandwich and she told me it was great so I went with her suggestion and it did mot disappoint. The sandwich took a bit longer than normal but the service was great. If I ever drive thru this city again, I would definitely stop by.

    How is this place real? I've traveled to a lot of places in Wisconsin but I haven't seen many (probably 1 or two) restaurant like Pilora in Wisconsin. I will admit, considering Wisconsin is the cheese state, I did not expect to see that there would be Moroccan chicken for breakfast or as a lunch option- that really took me by surprise. My husband and I decided to check it out on a rainy Saturday morning. We almost didn't go because we were going to leave it for Sunday but we were super thankful we went Saturday because it turns out they are closed on Sunday and Monday (good think to keep in mind!). I really thought it would be absolutely slammed inside and to an extension, it was. There was a twenty minute wait and if you're with two hangry toddlers, then you know twenty minutes feels like two hours but thank Goodness. The hostess was really sweet and seated us as soon as a seat became available. Not just that, she also asked us if we wanted a high chair and made sure that the high chair was at the table before we got there to avoid "traffic" between people leaving, us sitting down and servers bringing food. Loved, loved, loved that! In addition, they were super accommodating about our stroller and provided a small area for us to put our stroller away. In that sense, service was amazing. The waitress came as soon as we were seated to give us the menu. We ordered food for the kids right away- they do not have a kids menu so we just ordered eggs and hash browns for the kids. One of the other main reasons I wanted to go here is because they have collectivo coffee and I am a huge cappuccino lover so first thing is first, give me allllll the cappuccino! My husband ordered the cappuccino while I took my son to the bathroom. I have 2 complaints about this restaurant but none of them are related to food. I really try to give a restaurant the benefit of the doubt and be well rounded in my review but since becoming a parent, I am more mindful of amenities offered by the restaurant that makes parents lives easier so that that may enjoy the restaurant experience more. My one year old needed a diaper change and there was no changing table in the bathroom. I wish there was- I get it, not all businesses have a lot of children come by but it was a bit of an inconvenience to leave my hot coffee to go out to the car to change his diaper and come back to a not so hot coffee. The other thing I was a little disappointed about was that they didn't offer a coloring page for their little clientele. Again. I understand if a business doesn't have much traffic in terms of children consumers but it would've been nice if it was something offered. It would have definitely been the topping on the cake. I'm giving this restaurant 5 stars despite these two things because I think aside from that, they would definitely be on my top 5 best restaurants I've ever been to. The service, the atmosphere, the decor, the food and the coffee was just so great. As for the food, I ordered the lobsters Benedict and my husband ordered steak and eggs. I love lobster but I can't say I've ever had amazing lobster breakfast meals that left an amazing mark but let me tell you, the lobster Benedict at Pilora was WOW. Saying it was amazing is an understatement- they were generous with the lobster portions over garlic bread and easy over egg. I savored every bite- my husband asked to try and I selfishly gave him a small piece because it was so good. I'm still thinking about it now. I've never had a better breakfast meal in all my years of yelping. It was well seasoned, well cooked and with the garlic bread, it just melted in your mouth. I would eat it for every meal if I could! The lobster Benedict came with a side of fruit salad that was essentially grapes, pecan and yogurt. It was so good, my husband who's not a pecan lover couldn't stop munching on it. My husbands steak and eggs were good too- however his hash brown was so good. He also had a choice of fruit but instead went with feta and tomatoes. We eat a different type of feta at home that is more "wet"whereas the feta at Pilora was more dry. Either way, we loved the feta at Pilora mores it was so tasty and different (a lot more light and refreshing) from what we usually eat that we asked the waitress where we could buy it. We've never had hasbrowns like that- actually the restaurant calls them Pilora Potatoes but it's hash browns aka hasbrown heaven. They put a little cheese in between the hash browns and then when you take a bite, it's amazing. Absolutely no self control when eating the hasbrowns. I wish we lived closer so I could go there more often to explore the rest of the menu. As for the coffee, it was amazing. It was so well made and a perfect balance of coffee and milk. We had the homemade carrot cake offered by Pilora after breakfast and with coffee it was a match made in paradise. So, so, so good. Don't leave without trying it.

    Eggs Benedict with uncured ham over garlic bread.

    Stopped in on a whim to have one of the best brunches our family has had in a long time. Moderately quiet diner with relatively fast, but not overbearing service. We ordered the french toast and eggs benedict. Each dish came with a signature salad. I screwed up my order and selected the tomato and feta salad. I hate tomatoes. But this salad was seasoned so well and blended nicely with the feta cheese, I ate the entire thing. The eggs benedict and french toast were equally really good. Having the eggs over garlic bread is an interesting choice, but it worked out so well. I wish we had this type of creativity back home in California.

    Can't recommend enough. The best corn beef hash I've ever had. Incredible eggs. Must visit when in town.

    Athens salad
    Jennifer K.

    We had the athens salad with chicken and the cornbread pancakes with blueberries. Both were delicious. we had to wait about 30 minutes to sit. and out waitress was only ok. Looking forward to going back and trying see new things

    Amazing food and atmosphere! I had the corned beef hash and it was the best I've had!

    Fantastic brunch spot a little off the highway but absolutely worth it. The cornbread pancakes alone are worth the trip.

    How is the coffee there?

    Fantastic! It's Colectivo coffee. One of the best around. They also have a Latte of the Day that is almost always a great choice.

It doesn't look like much from the outside- very 70s feeling building, but inside it's spacious and airy, with plenty of seating. The entire staff was friendly and welcoming, from the seating host to our server to the attentive staff circulating with coffee refills. It was hard to decide what to have. My companion chose a steak skillet and I had the lemon ricotta pancakes. When they arrived, both were very ample portions (we both needed to-go boxes!) and delicious. For me, the best thing was the fresh otange juice, using a machine I've only seen in my favorite Latino cafes in Florida. It was so good, I had to get another to take with me! They were also just fine with us enjoying a leisurely breakfast, since we had a couple of hours to fill before the public muesum opened. We were there on a Tuesday and they were steadily busy, but not packed. No obtrusive music and sound level was quiet enough that we didn't have to yell to hear each other. Prices were decent, given the 2025 economy - you get plenty and parking is easy. Will definitely return if we get back this way!

White Chocolate, Loaded backed Potato, cheese curd, everything! While the popcorn is impressive, it's the cookie bar that's insane....and what we came for! All cookies are made and decorated in house - with the coolest flavors and pairings around. For $15, we could pick 6 cookies of our choosing - all of which were fancier than a simple chocolate chip. I can't remember our flavors, but all were moist, delicious, and reminiscent of a Crumbl cookie - only better! We left with a few Wisconsin items and noshed on the cookies all weekend.
