14 Best American Restaurants in Oswego

“Great place, upscale food with a relaxing atmosphere.“

“Skyline Sophistication with Heart

This rooftop lounge delivers on every front—elevated ambiance, outstanding service, and a thoughtful menu that welcomes everyone. I was especially impressed by the creative mocktail offerings. As a non-drinker, it’s rare to find options this flavorful and beautifully crafted.

Their vegetarian dishes were equally thoughtful—hearty, delicious, and clearly made with care. It’s refreshing to see a space where inclusion is more than a buzzword.

And the view? Absolutely stunning. Whether you're soaking in the sunset or enjoying the sparkle of the city lights, the skyline provides the perfect backdrop to an already memorable experience.

A place I’ll be happy to return to.“

“What's not to love about Bayshore Grove! It is one of the most scenic wedding venues to photograph. The staff is top notch and the food is delicious!“

“Great pricing.. Incredible staff.. Awesome service.. Nice to just sit on the Lake and enjoy you meal..☆☆☆☆☆“

“this place did not disappoint! everything about it was phenomenal. from the atmosphere, to the servers/bartender, to the outstanding food and drinks. (the Brussel and burnt ends are delicious!!!) i can't wait to go back and try more things! best meal my husband and I have gotten in a long time!“

“Hands down some of the best food I’ve ever had, and incredible polite and patient employees. Some guy came in drinking and swinging a bottle of vodka around and kept yelling “I’m Chris Holmes give me my f***ing this and my f***ing that. You all this a sub, my dog wouldn’t even eat this”. Guy went on and on and the employees handled the situation with incredible professionalism. They managed to walk him outside and then he stumbled off. Turns out the food he was trying to return wasn’t even from Oswego Sub Shop. Fantastic food and service with a smile. Can’t beat it.“

“Best food and the specials are great! Had a $10 burger beer and fries special and was blown away by how well prepared—plus the folks serving at the bar are super friendly, professional and fast moving. Beer somehow tastes better when Micky brings it, she’s the best beer slinger in town.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of seating options this is all outdoors with several open tiki style buildings grouped together so families can choose to sit away from the bar. Corn hole games plus cozy fire pits with seating.

Wheelchair accessibility: All outdoors, single level. Plenty of parking.“

“They have amazing bartenders, great cooks, and some of the best food I’ve had! I went there tonight, and I was waved to by Kenzie before I even got in the building. Within a few seconds of walking in the door, I was asked what I needed, and while waiting I had a couple of the bartenders come up to see if I needed anything. 10/10 would definitely recommend!“

“We were served by Anora who was very pleasant, friendly, and efficient and was very concerned about our comfort and satisfaction. One of our party ordered a rare steak which came out well done and, even though it was partially eaten, Anora brought it to the attention of the manager and we were compensated. She is an outstanding server and you are lucky to to have her.“

“Best place to stay and eat when you battled Salmon and Steelhead all day. Mike and Bobbie's hospitality is the best.. would definitely recommend it to everyone who fishes in the area or is just there to visit and need a place to stay. Love Sticks“

“Come on down-, crew is on , working hard !“

“We loved this place! As with all family hometown diners, this place was better than any chain restaurant we could’ve went to. It was our first time here, but will make it a regular spot when in Oswego. The waitress was so personable and sweet, the food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. One aspect I really liked was the owner walking around asking people how they were doing and checking on everyone. It makes you feel as though they really do care about every patron.“
