New American Restaurants near Champaign, IL

“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!“

“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.“

“I tried Stango for the 1st time at the West Side Arts festival from the food truck. The food was fresh, hot and absolutely delicious. I ordered the beef samosas and wow!!!! I can't wait to try other items offered.“

“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.“

“I go here every once in a while. This isn't a place with a dine-in vibe, even if the option exists. The woman at the counter is never friendly or warm, but her husband is kind and that makes up for her borderline-rude welcome. The food is good and prepared pretty quickly.“

“Our order took a while to arrive.
I ordered a chicken teriyaki bowl, which had the options of over brown rice, romaine lettuce, or roasted root vegetables. I chose the roasted root vegetables. They were nothing more than undercooked sliced carrots! Four thin strips of chicken breast and a tiny bit of shredded cabbage on top of carrots is not a teriyaki bowl, even with sauce on the side. I would not recommend it, even if it were priced lower than $12.95.

My husband said his Italian hoagie was very good.

The atmosphere was nice and all of the staff pleasant. Maybe it's a better dinner place.“

“They changed the recipe of the fries and I am devastated. We went from thin, crunchy, delicious fries with garnish to the basic french fries with no flavor. They’re only good with dipping sauce or another food item. I used to ONLY order french fries, but not anymore because they don’t taste the same. ? THEY ALSO RAISED THE PRICE FROM $2.50 TO $3.00!!!! ?“
