“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!“

“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! 🫶💯“

“For everything ,nice people“

“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!“

“The belmont was the perfect place for my anniversary! John made the experience feel super special. The staff were super sweet and made us feel like royalty even though we are 16. We want to thank the whole crew for making us feel so welcome even though we aren’t like the typical people who walk in. The food was incredible and the presentation was immaculate. John was the best and made sure our time there was perfect.“

“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.“

“The food was fabulous; the service was excellent! I would highly recommend this place! The BEST burgers and wings in town!!!“

“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!“

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

“Our waiter in the bar area Bob did a great job with service. I've been here before but Bob was the best server we've ever had! My chicken tortilla soup was just ok yesterday. My sliced prime rib sandwich was outstanding. And Bob's recommendation on the side special vegetable was spot on💪🏼“

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

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

“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.“

“The George is our GO-TO spot in downtown Naperville! The atmosphere, both inside and on the patio, is fabulous, and the food is consistently great. Last night I had the salmon, and it was so delicious that I honestly can’t even remember what my husband ordered! But the shining star of our last few visits has been Toni. She is FABULOUS! She’s attentive, funny, engaging, and genuinely cares that everyone at her tables has the absolute best time. She is truly exceptional. We also love the newly remodeled interior, the Pontiac Room, the beautiful bar, and the fun touch of all the different “George” names on the backs of the bar chairs. Thanks for continuing to give downtown Naperville such a great destination. We’ll be back soon!“

“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)“

“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!!!!“

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

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

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

“Great atmosphere, staff and dessert“

“The food was absolutely delicious. I loved the atmosphere. The server was great, but I would've liked to be offered a second drink during my meal instead of after. It was obviously very busy, but the wait on every step was longer than usual.“

“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“

“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! ❤️❤️“

“great service & great food!“

“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!“

“This was my first time going here and The food was amazing. A very polite staff and I think it’s the manager that was on duty. Her name was Heather made sure I had everything I needed. And kept coming back to me asking if I needed anything I will be going back because of her. I would also recommend this place if you’re in downtown Naperville“

“Plank Bar & Kitchen is conveniently located inside Hotel Indigo Naperville Riverwalk. The ambience and overall experience were good, but there were very few vegetarian options available on the menu.

We tried the avocado toast and yogurt, and both were okay, but not great or particularly memorable. Overall, the food was decent, but the restaurant could definitely improve its vegetarian options and variety.“

“Good Burgers and great homemade onion rings“

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

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

“Great dessert place! Love the concept!“

“The chicken is my favorite. I always get their delicious fresh coleslaw. Their daily specials are very good and generous. Like a lot of restaurants very little attention is paid to the dining room. There are usually one or two dirty tables and the room needs a thorough cleaning and upgrades“

“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!“

“We had a wonderful experience celebrating my husband's birthday! The restaurant gave us a fantastic table, which made the evening feel extra special. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the entire experience was exactly what we had hoped for. We really appreciated the attention to detail and look forward to coming back!“

“Absolutely phenomenal experience at The Lantern! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the service was top-notch. Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor, fresh, and cooked to perfection. You can really tell they care about quality and making sure every customer has a great experience.

The portions were generous, the prices were fair, and the overall vibe made us want to stay even longer. This is easily one of the best spots in Naperville, and I can’t wait to come back every single day for the rest of my life. If you’re looking for amazing food, outstanding service, and a place you’ll want to recommend to everyone, The Lantern is an absolute must-visit. Five stars without a doubt!“

“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!“
