Loved it. Was planning on a bar burger but the special was fried chicken. My buddy had the regular fried chicken and I had gizzards and mashed taters and gravy. OMG absolutely delicious. Compliments to the server for talking us into the special instead of burgers.

Something wonderful beyond imagination and description, and it was also an interesting and enjoyable trip, even though the first trip years ago was still an unforgettable memory, even after the second.

Really great American bar and restaurant. They have a private meeting room that seats 40-50. Waitresses are on the mark with orders and drink refills. They have a great version of the Central Illinois classic Horseshoe sandwich (open-faced with Texas toast, choice of meat, French fries, covered in cheese sauce). Pork tenderloins, either grilled or breaded, small or large, are absolutely delicious. I had the Cobb salad which was too big to eat in one sitting. Definitely worth stopping by.

Beware of prices, menu says one price, your bill reflects another price. Waitress said owner won't update menus. Guess this was my last visit there.

My wife and I eat here quite often .We like there fish and horseshoes so tonight we go there .Went in lady said to sit where we wanted.There was a booth open but needed cleaned we sat down and she said they would clean it .We sat several minutes and no one came.Finally the waitress came over and wiped it off. Then we sat alittle longer and finally got drinks. TOOK are orders and we sat for another 45 minutes and still no food.People who came in after us got theres.Are waitress finally sent another lady out to say it would be a little longer.We got up to leave and I went to the bar and told them I was leaving and still had to pay for our tea and soda.Now if that is good service I would hate to see there poor service.
