Reviews for Hardware Sustainable Gastropub and Brewery in North Aurora, IL

This restaurant came highly recommended so we gave it a try with our little one. The service was great and kid friendly. The... cocktails were very well done and had some nice twists on some classics. HUGE bourbon selection. I tried an IPA that they makein house and it was ok. We had the poutine which was very good. Maybe a little too salty for my taste but they nailed theflavor. I had the burnt ends which were tender and juicy and had a great char. I wasn’t a fan of their homemade BBQ sauce asit was a little to tomatoey and lacked some depth. We also ordered the ravioli which was amazing just needed 30 seconds more tocook. Very nice vibe overall and would recommend giving it a try. Read more

Enjoyed an excellent lunch outside on their patio. They have a large, beautiful patio as well as plenty of indoor dining. A wide... selection of fun cocktails and local brews as well as unique shareable plates and sandwiches. Read more

Another great experience at Hardware. Service was great and the food was awesome. We ended up getting both of the specials they... had; shishito peppers (directly from their on-site garden) and the burnt ends. The whiskey selection here is one of the largestI've seen, you won't be disappointed. Read more

Another fabulous visit here! I love the living wall and farm to table ambiance that reminds me of southern CA coastal... restaurants. Shishito pepper special was delicious. The sauce with red curry mussels was a bit too salty :( Burger spot on. Service was outstanding Read more

Delicious food enjoyed on their very large patio. The burrata, bison burger, ravioli, and brisket tacos were all tasty and... flavorful. Cool concept and like the sustainability initiative. Service is good but a tad slow and the music needs to bereviewed as it featured terrible covers of popular songs. Read more

Fantastic ambience both indoors and outdoors, quality food having some of the ingredients sourced from their own farm and... greenhouse, amazing collection of whiskies and a brewery with some very delicious beers. I have all praise for thisrestaurant/gastropub. Will come back again to try out the Salmon tartar we did not get because they ran out of it and the bakedgoat cheese. We tried bison burger, ravioli and brisket tacos. Burger was the best having bison patty and a pork belly combo,Ravioli was prepared well. Was not very impressed with Brisket tacos though because there was hardly any brisket and tacos weretoo small. May try their brisket main entree during next visit. Ended with mango parfait (which felt like a meal in itself) anda whiskey espresso (may need little more body to showcase espresso character) for dessert. Overall loved it. Read more

Nice, quiet atmosphere with a wood burning stove on the outside. I ordered the Bison Burger and the food arrived very well... cooked and tasty. Probably one of the largest whiskey collections I've seen behind the bar. Read more

I'm quite disappointed ???? to be honest and I absolutely love this place. The homemade bread was to die for and I love the... whipped butter. Please bring more. My steak was over cooked and didn't have much flavor, I also wished for some greens insteadof just potatoes on the plate. I also had a summer wind drink and it was delicious. My date had the ravioli; it smelled amazingand he finished everything on his plate. We ended with the dessert empanadas and that was nothing really worth orderingagain. Overall I was quite disappointed and looking for another farm to table restaurant in the area. Read more
