“I find the food items are honestly delicious, generous portions, prices are comparable to other establishments. The atmosphere is welcoming. I give Neil St. Blues a A+.“

“1st time visiting. Very nice, and clean restaurant. Staff was very nice but most of all the food was delicious! So many options to choose from made it hard to decide. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. Definitely will be back. Instead of 5 stars, I'll give them 10!“

“I was there after what I assume is the busy time, so I had the dining room to myself. There was a steady stream of folks in the drive thru though. The "Deluxe Single Basket" was more than enough to fill me up. I had to buy a take-home pint, too full for dessert. The staff were friendly and at least one was always cleaning something.“

“Great food served by wonderful people. The owners care so much about the quality of food and most often they are the ones cooking it. That’s why I recommend The Space! Swing by for lunch sometimes they get busy at dinner. Highly recommend!“

“The burgers and cocktails are amazing! The staff was super friendly!“

“The food is delicious and the atmosphere is nice 😍“

“Had early dinner at the Big Grove and was completely blown away. Food was excellent with a variety of menu items that had me wishing my stomach was a bit bigger. I sat at the bar as I was dining alone and the bartender did a great job of explaining the various items I inquired about as well as suggesting a perfect craft beer pairing. I only get to Champaign a couple of times a year, but this will be my go-to anytime in the area.“

“Love friend chicken and 🍟“

“Erica is the best waitress!“

“Thank you, Curtis Orchard & Pumpkin Patch. We host an event for families frequently to coincide with our celebration of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. One of our customs is dipping apples in honey - so apple picking, eating donuts and drinking cider is the perfect way to celebrate! Planning events is so easy, organized and efficient. Our families love the activities and appreciate that there is tons to do in addition to picking apples. The activities in Land of Oz are fun, and there is PLENTY to do for kids of all ages that is available at no cost. The wristbands for Land of Oz make the extra activities easy to access. The host and coordinator I worked with were polite, respectful, friendly and managed all the details! Thank you for another great event!“

“Stumbled across this gem on accident today! This place is Amazing! The guy working was super nice (and gave me Swiss cheese instead of American :) ) I got the fat walk of shame and it was sooooooo good!!! He even let me pick music to listen to! I’ll definitely be back!! Thank you, Fat Sandwich Company!!!“

“Joshua was a fantastic server. The double frozen strawberry margaritas with salt, truffle fries and cheese curds were terrific. It was my first visit there and I look forward to going back. Our party of 7 had a blast.“

“Just a great experience. We will be returning!“
