Ari's Kitchen: A hot spot for breakfast connoisseurs

           On this food adventure I decided to hop on to Randall Rd. and head on over to our neighbors in the north, the village of North Aurora. There's a place where locals have been flaunting about so I decided to check it out myself. I actually found Ari's Kitchen through a Google search of the best breakfast joints in the area, and from their Facebook page to the patrons posts on Yelp all I could read were great comments about the joint, and see nothing but great pictures.

Nice Country Feel

          The restaurant is located on a corner of a small strip mall and didn't have much appeal to it from the outside. But as the saying goes, "Never judge a book by its cover," so I kept my judgement down to the food. Entering the restaurant, it was a whole other look and feel to it, it had a country kitchen mixed with random photos, pictures, and quotes scattered all about the wall. I was greeted immediately and given a table by the wall. I didn't want to blow my cover so I kept my camera and notebook hidden. They brought me my own jug of coffee! So i could serve myself as much as I want with the convenience of having it at my table. The atmosphere was very welcoming and they had country music playing so I felt right at home and I could not bear to just smell the aromas that surrounded me so I had to order immediately. The menus were awesome!!! They were literally all in random cookbooks, with the menus printed in them. It was kind of confusing to read but the gentlemen were more than willing to help me. I decided to order scrambled eggs with sausage, mushrooms, and cheddar cheese with hash browns and a pancake. They had a deal where you can pick any three ingredients, a starch, and a bread for 7 bucks, and it included the coffee I had gotten earlier.

You will only find huge portions here!

        In regards to service, it was excellent. They had a bus boy but he did much more than bus tables, he conversed with the patrons and myself, he ran out food, he refilled drinks, he did everything, and all this with a smile on his face. The waiter was also very social-able and welcoming. He was very patient with me, because when it comes to ordering I am very indecisive and sometimes change my order three times before I go back to my original choice.
       So after I ordered my food I started going on my phone and checking emails, my Facebook, etc...thinking I would be waiting a little bit especially because it was busy, but boy was I wrong. The food came out in less than 8 minutes! They were quick, food well portioned, and I had one huge pancake with my name on it. Everything was hot, fresh, and waiting for me to dig in to it, The eggs were sooooo..... delicious I loved the mixed of the huge mushroom and sausage, which gave
it a salty bite to it. The hash browns were a little on the soft side, I prefer mine to be a bit more crispy and on the burnt side. The pancake was huge! First bite, and it was as if I bit into a cloud. Airy, sweet, and soft can describe the texture of this pancake, and for a man that hates pancakes I sure as hell loved this one.
     
       All in all Ari's is a great place to come with friends, family, or even alone, because regardless you will be treated like a guest into what they call their "home." Ari's offers daily specials to be sure to call in prior to ask what they are. They are also opened for lunch, so be sure to try one of their many amazing sandwiches. Breakfast is also served ALL day. So come on down and "Taste the Difference" at Ari's. So pack up your bags and go out there in the world. See what adventure lies ahead for you, and on the way your going to have to eat so don't hesitate to sample everything the world has to offer. With Food and Travel Around the World this is Samuel Núñez saying adios!
