George’s Restaurant Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    This is my kind of breakfast joint. The counter is full of old men drinking coffee, shootin' the shit, and complaining about stuff. The tables are filled with working people taking breakfast meetings. The decor is old school small town diner. The food is good, cheap, and fast. The pancakes are good. If you go to a breakfast place and they have bad pancakes just turn around. The eggs, bacon, and sausage was done excellent. I couldn't be happier with this as my go to breakfast joint. Don't expect the ritz, because this place is down to earth.

    You know, Montgomery is Oswego's way less attractive sibling. It must hurt to have to live in the shadows of the hipster paradise always hoping for the day when someone will notice that you have some good traits, though hard to find. That's where George's Restaurant comes in. George's is a classic small town diner that's been around for 40+ years in the dingy, sad area wistfully referred to as "Downtown Montgomery". After having driven by the place in search of a short cut to the coolness that is Oswego my wife and I decided to try it out. First the place is busy for its location but spotlessly clean. Your first hint that you may have struck it rich are the tables of senior citizens. This group won't pass up good food reasonably priced! I noticed that the big screen TV was set to CNN. Not that FOX would have affected the overall experience, but I like that George chose a less controversial channel for the breakfast crowd. The service was immediate and friendly with an excellent cup of diner coffee that would put Starbucks to shame. Add to that the fact that your cup never goes empty (did I mention they were busy?) and we have an excellent first impression. The next thing that hits you is the price. We were there for breakfast but every single option was a good dollar or two below what you'd expect to pay in fancy-schmancy Oswego. I asked for a sample of their country gravy and it was immediately bought out with a smile. Now I wish I could recommend the gravy but I can't, too plain tasting and while I could see chunks of meat I could not get a sausage taste (sorry George, that cost you the fifth star!). I opted instead for a basic eggs and sausage entree while my wife ordered the rIb-eye steak and eggs. Here is where George's shines. Our order was on the table in a matter of minutes, seriously, this place redefines "freaky fast". everything was cooked to order. Now when you order steak and eggs you almost have to expect that they will over cook your steak if you like things on the rare side. Not George! My wife's steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was huge. I mean hanging over the sides of the plate huge! Now this is a breakfast steak so it's not going to have the quality you'd expect in a dinner steak...but you'd be wrong in this case. As is the norm in a diner it was grilled on a flat top and imbued with great flavor. Yes, it was fatty but it was a rib-eye - not a lean piece of meat to begin with. The flavor was great. Oh. Did I mention that the rib-eye steak and eggs was $8.95 - with hash browns and toast? "Great value" is an understatement. And have a nice healthy day on your own time, the toast came out hot and buttered from a pot of melted butter-like substance. Freakin' diner heaven! Two full, made to order breakfasts with beverage came to just $19.00. Add to that the knowledge that you are supporting a local, long time, independent business and everything tastes just that much better. I will definitely be back to try the lunch and dinner entrees but I am pretty sure I just found my favorite local diner. Be proud Montgomery, Oswego doesn't have a place like George's Restaurant.

    I almost don't want to review this place as I'm afraid the secret will get out. George's is our new favorite place for a tasty, reliable, and inexpensive breakfast in the Fox Valley area. Don't be put off by the fact that it's an older establishment, as the tasty food, hot coffee, and low prices make up for it.

    Georges is a typical "coffee clutch" restaurant. A clientele of locals with a common denominator involving a routine of habit and familiarity... basically a social event. If you like to be recognized by your waitress and looking for your coffee cup to be refilled to the point of insanity... George's may be for you! However, if you actually care about the quality and taste of your breakfast and prefer bacon that's not overcooked, brittle and tasteless with the consistency of cardboard, then think again. If your forced to slumber through your breakfast and your toast never arrives timely with your breakfast order...your not alone!

    I love this place! George's is a live saver to me and my boyfriend when we are too tired to cook or too busy. We consider ourselves regulars even though we only go about twice a week. Their portions are massive and every bite is fantastic. My boyfriend and I always go for breakfast because when we go to George's, it's a really nice way to start the day. I loooooove the bottomless coffee and they have the vanilla and caramel creamers, which is really nice. I have ordered almost everything on the menu, and hoping to make it everything someday.

    I've been going to George's for years. It's a locally owned and operator family style restaurant. The food is always delicious, and the staff is always friendly. We went the other day and I tried their burger for the first time. Out of all the items I've tried, I'd say this is the only one I wouldn't likely try again. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't as good as many of their other items. My wife had a very good Rueben sandwich, and I got an order of biscuits and gravy. That's a must every time. The clientel is generally the older crowd that keeps coming back. There's something to be said for that! George's has been in the same location for over 40 years, and I hope it's around another 40!

    Best breakfast in the Aurora/Montgomery/Oswego area, not to mention the best pancakes George's is an old fashioned "seat yourself diner." Not only is the food good, but the prices are excellent and the portions are very decent George's is a "regulars" type of restaurant, but the staff is very warm and friendly. Definitely a must try

    Yum:) They have an awesome selection of omelettes and skillets. I've never had anything that I did not enjoy, including their biscuits and gravy (which I am very picky about). Highly recommend for breakfast.

    When my wife and I were looking for a good traditional sunday breakfast place, we found George's Restaurant and haven't gone any were else since. The service is excellent and the food is amazing! We have also had their lunch and dinner, witch are also fantastic but I'm a breakfast guy and yep their breakfast is superb!

    This is my favorite restaurant....Never had a bad meal. I crave their breakfast skillets and ham. It's a local family owned business with a great staff. If you haven't tried it yet, you should.....I always make sure to bring my leftovers home so I can enjoy my fabulous food twice!!!

    Went there for breakfast, ordered the meat skillet. Was a little surprised with the ham that was served. Looked pre-chewed. Lost my appetite.

    This is an Old School Diner! Food is fast and hot. Service is decent. No frills, no gimmicks, just decent home style food. Great Biscuits and Gravey. Crowd tends to be families and older folks just hanging out drinking a coffee. Cheap too!

    As another Yelper posted I almost don't want to review this place to let the secret out. Went in for a Father's Day breakfast since every other breakfast place in the area had a wait or required reservations. No worries here, went right in and was seated right away. It took a little time to order and our waitress was frazzled by the crowd but none-the-less she was friendly all the way through. Food choices are great and it is difficult to spend $10 plus here on any option. Our group had a bit of everything all all of the plates were cleared. Corned beef skillet was great, banana pancakes awesome, smoked kielbasa done to perfection all for about $40. They could use some updating inside but it isn't necessary as it has that diner feel and plays to the senor crowd. Great place and a great fine. I'll be going here for breakfast from here on out.

    I started coming to George's a few months ago with my boyfriend, and every experience we've had there has been excellent! From the level of the food quality and the service, everything has been great. My favorites include the Monte Cristo, the Meat Lovers Skillet and my boyfriend loves the Biscuit and Gravy Skillet. It's a great place to find breakfast on a weekend morning!!!!

    This is a perfect place to get the daily recommended requirement of food that will kill you. You'll both love and regret the breakfast skillets. Most are covered in that good 'merican cheese, that sort of melts and sort of just lays there. My rent car got a huge baseball-sized ding in the door while in the parking lot. I was so full, I didn't care.
