KerbsMarch 9, 2013Food was amazing and I loved the atmosphere. If you are looking for real good food in southern Illinois this place is it. Specials are made fresh, definitely start there!
K. M.January 5, 2018My all time favorite restaurant, the food is flavorful, savory, and to die for! It's a bit noisy but if you don't go during a rush hour it's not so bad. Friendly staff who make you feel very welcome.- Great food in the middle of Illinois. Excellent seafood and modern American options. Excellent service.
Shannae WeaverMay 11, 2015It's all good but my favorite is the ranch dressing! Check out specials and it's cheaper than eating at McDonalds! Love all staff too!
Sadie JeanSeptember 6, 2011It was an absolute treat stopping here. The quesadillas were amazing, the pizza was great- a little salty for me but I dont eat salt much so I could taste it, and the clam chowder was fantastic!

- Jacob UnderwoodDecember 28, 2018Montana mignon was tasty. After seeing it, I wish I would have ordered bone-in ribeye. I had order envy.

- Marjorie BlackmanApril 12, 2012Food is amazing; lobster pot pie was wonderful, steak like butter, excellent scallops. Worth stopping while on the road.
Chris HankenAugust 1, 2017I had the burger. It was pretty tasty but messy with all the toppings. And expensive!

Joya HoldenJuly 7, 2013Yum!!! If you have to drive from Texas to Michigan...make a point of stopping here.

A little pricey, but everything here is good. Treat yourself occasionally.
