“We love the cocktails, steak night, and brunch. The kids don’t really love the dinner menu so we just steer away from family dinner.”

“We love Proving Ground for their good food, relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff.”

“Best place to go for Mexican food! Everything is fresh and put together in a very presentable way! I have so many favorites it’s hard to say what is the best! Everyone is very nice and friendly and they work hard to make sure you like what you get! The drinks are great as well!”

“This is a great place, sure to be a favorite of ours. The service was excellent and the food was even better. Even the prices are great. If you're looking for French onion soup, put this place in rotation.”

“Very Good Food , Clean Restaurant Good customer services”

“I recommend Cafe on the Abbey for anyone any day of the week! Breakfast or Lunch! The food, the service, the atmosphere is excellent. My favorite is the vegan and gluten friendly items that their baker Amanda makes!!! She makes the best cakes ever for any occasion and bakes the best Gluten Free cake around!!! Check them out!!”

“Great place, reminds me of an old dinner. It’s cleaned and the employees are more than friendly. I highly recommend.”

“I absolutely love shopping here. It’s my favorite health store in the area. You’re always treated like family, and Michelle and Faith are so kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to help. I always enjoy coming in and highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality products and great service”

“We had a party of eight and needed a place to eat on a Friday night. This place accommodated us, even though they were very busy. Really good food and the service was friendly and fast, esp considering how busy they were. A little loud, but it’s a bar and there was a Blues game on, so you kind of have to expect that. Our party had multiple different kinds of food, from some German dishes, to typical American faire, and all were happy with the quality. And the prices are very, very reasonable.”

“Our daughter wanted to celebrate her 18th birthday at Sunset Overlook, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! We had never been before, but since she loves sunsets, we made it happen—and we’re so glad we did. We had a party of 25, and the staff handled everything wonderfully. The waitresses were so friendly, attentive, and made sure our large group was well taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious—the flatbreads were 💯! Such a great experience and a beautiful spot to celebrate a special occasion. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Love the atmosphere and love the owner Alex and his Amazing staff! Always a good time.”

“I had a great time at this place! lovely people , great location, nice outdoor sitting.
The atmosphere was simply delightful, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a magnificent Clydesdale horse standing right outside, indulging in cherry pie – it was like something out of a dream! This place truly left a lasting impression on me, and I can't wait to return soon. with wonderful people and unexpected delights, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!”

“Delicious donuts! Tried them for the first time recently. Cheesecake 10/10! Triple Berry and Eggnog were nicely done also.”

“Hands down the best casual eating experience. The friendly owner all the way to service and atmosphere. This is not a hidden gem. It is a local and community family friendly restaurant. If the weather is permitting I highly recommend the patio”

“Pat always makes my Taco Bell experience better! He’s super friendly, patient, and always has a great attitude even when it’s busy. My order is always right, and you can tell he genuinely cares about customers. Employees like Pat are the reason people keep coming back. Definitely one of the best workers there!”

“I’m here to say one thing, go see Nina. That’s all you need to know.

Not only is she one of the most incredibly beautiful bartenders you’ll meet in your entire life (trust me, I’ve met plenty) she also has the best personality AND attention to service.

Your drink will never be empty and you’ll always leave with a smile, that’s truly unmatchable.”

“We are full-time RVers who, while traveling around the US, are in search of the best cheeseburger and have a rating system of The Best (only 1 rated), Very Good, Good, OK, and Not Impressed. While at our home base in Southern Illinois, we were in the Columbia, IL, area and Googled “hamburger restaurants.” We saw Washy’s Pub had good burger reviews, so decided to give them a try for lunch. Washy’s has a simple bar atmosphere with about a dozen tables. We ordered their Classic burger with me having American cheese and my wife pepperjack. We also requested lettuce, pickles, and sliced onions. The handmade patties were about 10 oz (good sized), nicely seasoned, cooked to order, charbroiled, and served on a nicely-toast fresh bun. I had their skinny-style battered fries and my wife had onion rings. The burgers came out hot and were super tasty due the meat seasoning. We’re not sure what seasoning they used, but it worked! My wife’s burger was just a tiny bit better than mine due the pepperjack they use. The fries and onion rings were among the best we’ve had as well. We rated the burgers (even without a special sauce), fries, and onion rings Very Good. The service was also top notch.”

“Great food! Love the Yum Woon Sen!!”

“Delicious food, great customer service. We've ordered from here for years! Our favorites are the fried mushrooms, Buffalo chicken pizza, and lobster ravioli!”

“Fun place with great food.”

“Super friendly dude at the drive up window, Breath of fresh air! Only ordered a cone, but it was tasty. The need a sign on the back of the building where the building entrance is. We drove right by it!”

“First time ordering. Amazing food.
The Crab Rangoon is one of the best we've ever had.
Chicken Fried Rice was hot and fresh. Not like it had sat in a steam table.
Def our new go-to for Chinese food !!”

“Delicious Fried chicken!! Great deal 4 pieces and slaw. $8.99 Definitely will be back!”
