“LETS GO ILLINI!! 👏👏 This place is a must!!“

“I tried out this bar because Google Maps claimed that this bar had karaoke. I asked the bartender about this, and she informed me that they no longer have karaoke. While I was disappointed to learn this, I don't fault the bar for its Google Maps information being outdated.

I was pleasantly surprised and quite impressed with this bar. I arrived just as the kitchen was getting ready to close. Fortunately, the bartender went to ask the cook if he or she would be willing to keep the kitchen open just a little bit longer, and the cook agreed to do so. I ordered a BLT, and it was by far the best BLT I've ever had. I also noticed that the prices on the food menu were quite reasonable. Assuming that the rest of the food is of the same quality as the BLT, I'd say that the quality and quantity of the food here is very well worth the prices that they charge. The drink that I ordered was good, too.

The only issues I had with the atmosphere is that I would prefer more lighting, and it was slightly less clean than I would have liked. Otherwise, the atmosphere was excellent. The staff and some people who I assume are regular customers were very friendly. I also thoroughly enjoyed the music that they played: Most of it was Rock & Roll from the '80's and '90's. If I recall correctly, the bar has a jukebox.

I most certainly will be returning to this bar. I'll do my best to come at a time that isn't inconvenient to the kitchen.

Parking: There is parking and an entrance on two sides of the building. The parking lot near the entrance that I used only had 2 cars in it, and thus there was a ton of available parking spots.“

“they accommodated a party of 8 on graduation Saturday. nice people and good food and fun“

“Moving to chicago and stayed the night Thursday in Champaign while driving through because U of Illinois’ campus is perfect for my dog. Tried out the bar scene Thursday and during TNF, went here. Great fries, chicken sandwich and my bartender Ella was awesome. Got packed halfway through and she was still very attentive to her rail even though walk ups there are chaos.“

“Food and service are the best“

“Shout out to the amazing waitress/bartender working last night (didn't catch her name) -- she was a one-woman show handling the entire place and gave our table of 8 outstanding service! Drinks and food both came out quickly and she had the best attitude -- hope the owner sees this-- she's worth her weight in gold!“

“A friend and I met before an event we were going to at Carle. She had the meatloaf special and I had chicken bacon wrap. Her plate was excellent and too large of a portion for her to finish. My wrap was good but not something I would order again. Service was spectacular and they were fine with us visting for a bit after we ate. Definitely going back soon!“
