Harner's, how have I not tried you sooner? I'm not sure if you're an amazing bakery with a restaurant or an amazing restaurant with a bakery? Either way, you rock! My bride and I both had the Denver Omelette, there was a $1 up charge for the most amazing raisin bread toast that I highly recommend. The Omelette was fluffy, cheese nicely melted and a just right amount onions, green peppers and a more than generous amount of ham. Our server mad sure our coffee cups were always filled and was very friendly. It's a good thing we made our bakery purchases before having breakfast as they had an excellent selection. After breakfast it looked like a swam of locusts invaded as many of the previously full shelves were empty. There is an old school charm to Harner's, as it opened in 1960. An amazing place that's definitely worth the trip.

Best donuts in the county! There are really no competitors on this. They always have an array of donuts and the service is quick despite the crowd. Pumpkin cookies are so good and available year round. I rarely eat in the restaurant, I'm a bakery customer.

Nestled along the Fox River in North Aurora, this country-style restaurant offers warmth & comfort. The menu offers an extensive selection that can take some time to peruse, esp for those who don't frequent the establishment. Each visit tends to revolve around their hearty meatloaf, which is a true comfort food. It is paired perfectly with the rich cheddar cheese at the salad bar & a tempting array of baked goods from the display. Despite the busy dinner service, our waitress skillfully juggled the needs of several tables, she remained attentive & friendly. The restaurant transforms into a lively gathering spot on weekend evenings when it fills up quickly, so be prepared for a wait. They don't accept reservations.

This hidden gem in North Aurora is truly a delight! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a warm, homestyle atmosphere right across from the river. It's clear this spot is loved by locals, and it's easy to see why. The service was friendly and inviting, exactly what you'd hope for in a family-owned restaurant. The meals are undeniably home-cooked, and their bakery is fantastic. I was pleasantly surprised to see a salad bar--it's been years since I've encountered one! The food is simple but comforting, and everything feels so welcoming. The grilled biscuits are a must-try--just a $1 upgrade and absolutely phenomenal. The butter pecan danish, served warm, was pure indulgence. We couldn't resist grabbing some bakery treats to take home! We can't wait to return and try the pancakes and Porkchop breakfasts, which looked amazing from what we saw. We're also excited to explore their dinner options. The modest, southern-style charm of this place really resonated with us. It's a spot that feels like home, and we'll definitely be back!

Harner's is one of those places that words cannot describe. It has such a cozy old fashion vibe and is always packed with old people and young families. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel like you are visiting a family friend's home rather than a restaurant. The food is also pretty good although a bit on the pricier size. I got the chicken stir fry. I thought it was a bit bizarre that the sauce came on the side but it was nice since I could add just how much or however little I wanted. The bread basket at the beginning was also a big hit!

Old time right when you walk in. Old barstools at a diner counter, tables and huge bakery case. I came for the baked goods. I was lucky because I was there after 6pm and the doughnuts are half price after 6pm. So of course I got the cinnamon pretzel twist And the raised chocolate doughnuts. I think all together I bought 12 and it was $6. So if you are looking to save $ this is where you should get them, the night before you want them or eat them at night. As for taste, they were good. The bakery itself has so much to choose from. I've never seen so many options. My family ate lunch here once. I have not eaten there but there was a line at 6pm.
