41 Best American Restaurants in Naperville

“Went last night reserved a party of 6 but another friend showed up and Anthony the owner accommodated us. We ordered half the menu including the star of the show being the tomahawk steak. We shared all items buffet style sampling all dishes. Everything was excellent and everyone in the party was thoroughly impressed!“

“The In home Brew on selection is awesome! The food is absolutely amazing. The energy and vibe is extremely chill. Pet friendly, dogs are welcome.. And a very friendly environment. I would most definitely recommend this location to others.“

“Very great all around! We will be back again!“

“My sister and I each live about 40 mins from a Cracker Barrell and meet there about every three months to catch up. Love the food! Recently had the Wednesday special Chicken and broccoli which was fabulous! Waitresses always nice and patient as we catch up. And when we’re done eating there are always purchases to be made in the store, so much to look at!! It’s always a good afternoon. Thanks Cracker Barrel!“

“For everything ,nice people“

“Just a shout out to the BEST waitress at the Naperville location, AUTUMN! Every time we come in, we hope we get seated in her section. Autumn’s energy is awesome! She never rushes us during our friend catch up time. She is so attentive without hovering and just a great person all around! Naper location is lucky 🍀 to have her on their team! Thanks for taking good care of us everyone we come in, Autumn! 🫶💯“

“I would give this place 100 stars if able! I had to plan a rehearsal luncheon for my son's wedding in Joliet in mid May with only 2 months notice. Since we live in North Carolina, I had to do all the research online. Thank heaven I came across SixtyFour Reserve Room in a Google search. The manager, Andrew, contacted me right away and was so helpful in making suggestions for our event. Cheryl, the events manager, took over in finalizing all the arrangements. There are so many different options for appetizers, meal combinations, wine, cocktails and beer! Our guests were able to choose their favorites ahead of time. When we arrived on the day of the event, we were so delighted by the venue! Everything I had requested was in place, and Cheryl and our amazing server/bartender, Alex, immediately greeted us and made everyone feel welcome. The appetizers and meals were served efficiently and right on the timeline I had planned. The food was incredibly delicious with a pleasing presentation. Our guests had so much fun with the Wine Stations, and the whiskey lovers appreciated the variety of choices. Everyone raved about how much they enjoyed the food, drink and ambiance. Best of all, I was able to relax and enjoy our guests since all the work was done by Andrew, Cheryl, Alex and the kitchen staff. The cost was very reasonable, especially so close to Chicago. Highly recommended!“

“Our go to spot on movie night and for lunch. Food is great, service is top notch thanks to Gabrielle. Best burgers in the area and great apps and drink specials.“

“Excelente lugar para disfrutar una buena comida, excelente atención al cliente y buen precio !!“

“A really great place! Our server Sam was very personable. We were there during lunch and there weren’t very many people there. The Rueben Sandwich was exceptional. My wife had the Cheeseburger which was also great.“

“Rosies moved to their new location and changed menu items. I use to go for the sausage gravy, but would you know they changed the sausage gravy and biscuits!!! It's not as good as before at all. The sausage were cut into tiny pieces instead of crumbled sausage. The biscuits were to big for the little gravy given. It was good while it lasted!!!!“

“Had a fantastic experience at Artisan Restaurant inside the Marriott Naperville, and a big part of that was the incredible hospitality from the staff. Rose, Eliseo, and Yanet went above and beyond to make us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

Rose was warm and attentive, making sure everything was just right throughout the meal. Eliseo brought great energy and professionalism, and Yanet was incredibly kind and detail-oriented. You can tell this team truly cares about the guest experience.

Service like this makes all the difference—highly recommend dining here if you’re in the area!“

“Always such a great experience at WCG. This is our go-to when we want a nice sit down restaurant or its a special occasion. The food is always excellent and the service is outstanding. You are never wondering where your server is! Oh and the apple pie dessert is a must have, chefs kiss!“

“Good place still even though I’m seeing changes …. They’re getting stingy with their French fries portions.“

“Best food I ever try !!! I love this place everything taste fresh. The homemade coffee cake is incredible.“

“Amazing bar with wonderful daily specials! Great drink selection. Good prices too. Packed bar but also not overly crowded as it is a large location with ample seeting.“

“We ate here twice on our trip! It is a delightful place, great food, chef visits and brings food to the table, the wait staff are so lovely. It’s a perfect restaurant! Thank you (We are visiting from California)“

“1 wheelchair spot at the Middle Table on the Patio for Outdoor Dining. CALL AHEAD TO RESERVE.“

“The filet mignon 12 oz was great and the old fashion flight,our server Patrick was top notch really enjoyed everything.“

“Atención excelente y la música 🎶 de piano 🎹 muy bonita.“

“Great atmosphere, staff and dessert“

“Ramsays Kitchen is a wonderful experience. Its exactly what you would expect from a man that has built a buisness on his reputation. Everything is quality , everything is orderly and the staff is highly professional. The restaurant is tasteful. If you have seen any of Gordon Ramseys shows and seen what his signature dishes are you know they are great. I had the beef wellington, house made chips and the sticky toffee pudding, all of which were phenomenal. Price for dishes are what you would expect. Expect to pay around $200 for two. However, I recommend this place to anyone and everyone.“

“This place has become my home away from home! When I walked in tonight James and Seana (The Owners) both said “Hey, Karrie! Welcome back! How was your day? ” I just love that! If you are ever in the area, check them out! I know I’ll be back in 2 weeks when I’m here again! Amazing customer service! ❤️❤️“

“We had our company Christmas party here last week and I can't say enough good things about them! Everything ran so smoothly and ALL of the food was delicious! I still have people raving about it!! Special thanks goes out to Sandra & Eva for all of their help throughout the event! You handled the group well and kept everyone happy! From the crew at Reliable Home Improvement we appreciate you and can't wait to come back!“

“Loved our server Cindy - she was great and attentive. But what ultimately gave us a reason to come back was Malachi the manager. We’ve never seen a manager so interactive with customers, and with a great personality. Forgot my ranch - and did everything to make up for it.“

“Everything was great, I had shrimp scampi pasta, about 2 hours later I was the sickest Ive ever been for about 24 hrs. I have no food allergies. I hope no one else who was there on the 26th of June ordered the same and got sick. Can't even look at pictures of their food now“

“The decor is STUNNING and there are 2 tables large enough for big groups. I really loved the ambiance and decor. The menu had a lot of reasonably priced options for food as well. 4 stars because one of our old fashioneds was served with a vibrant red cherry that had a pit in it. So it wasn’t the usual luxardo cherry that I am used to having.
I also love that there is an overwalk that connects you to Santo Cielo.“

“great service & great food!“

“french toast or waffle the best I have ever had“

“Good Burgers and great homemade onion rings“

“Once a week! Love it! Great food, Great drinks. Great staff!“

“I don’t know the gentleman’s amen who was at the front door but his personality is what brought me in as I was just walking by. I wasn’t disappointed. Tania, who served me is the best!! Super attentive! She reads the room (patio) and everyone’s body language perfectly. I just had drinks but I will definitely return to try the food! And the patio is awesome.“

“La comida muy rica la atención muy rápida el personal muy amable“

“Great dessert place! Love the concept!“

“Haven't had browns in ages. My husband and I decided to stop in. The lady was super helpful, and very friendly. Husband had the 3 piece w a few sides. I did the fried mushrooms and their nostalgic coleslaw w a thigh. The food was all very fresh. The breading was much lighter in color and flavor than I remember, but was still good. The fried mushrooms were hot and decent sized. The dining room was a blast from that past and it was nice to have a stroll down memory lane . Will definitely consider their catering for the future. I do not care for kfc.“

“Great place for a party or to just get together with friends!! Definitely going back!“

“Came in for the Cubs game and ended up staying through the Kentucky Derby — great call. Sat at the bar the entire time and the vibe was perfect for game day: sound on the Cubs at just the right volume, plenty of TVs, and a crowd that actually cared about the game.

Food was a home run across the board. Pulled pork waffle fries, buffalo chicken wrap, and the pulled pork tacos — all loaded with flavor. Hard to pick a favorite.

Staff was great too. One bartender and one server handling the floor and they were taking care of everyone. The only knock is that once the Derby crowd rolled in things got slammed and drinks took noticeably longer to come around — not really their fault with the staffing they had, just something to know if you're heading in for a busy event.

Overall a great experience and we'll absolutely be back.“

“We were in town for a basketball tournament, with a group of 22, and their staff accommodated our entire group! From the hostess, to our waitress, to whom I believe was the manager (tall gentleman), they were fantastic! The food, was delicious!!! Serving sizes were generous and their drinks were great as well. If we are ever back in town, we will return!“

“Your favorite hometown place, even if this isn’t your home. If you’re local to Naperville, you already know about The Lantern. You’ve been there and will be there again.
Great food, better people, incredible atmosphere. You feel it as soon as you walk in the door.“

“My family and I went to see the Mario movie Saturday afternoon. Absolute lovely experience and service, and the food was great. Showing my kids the Mario I used to play was a bonus! Love that they have additional activities in the lobby all the time!“

“A good place that is typically solid. Been 100 times. But tonight found out that scampi Alla Rosebud is breaded shrimp served on bread? We ordered thinking it was carb zero but have never had it this way. Well come back but not ordering that again.“
