Restaurants in Decatur

“Good beer, had the Angry Guy Pilsner… it was excellent!”

“This is my favorite pizza and has been for a long time. My husband loves pizza so we eat it in many places and I have to say I always come back to Pizza Factory for the best pizza ever! And their breadsticks…. So soft and buttery they melt in your mouth.”

“In Decatur for the first time and checked out TapRoot. Thanks to Kaytlyn H for making a great experience. The food was great. Top notch Manhattan and Bloody Mary. Thanks again for the wonderful service.”

“I love they have a classy restaurant but affordable prices. The food is amazing and everyone is so nice. When Im in town I make reservations. Its a must”

“From the appetizer to main course the food was fantastic and the waitress was superb. The spinach artichoke was some of the best we’ve ever had, we both ordered the Delmonico steaks were cooked to perfection, don’t let the prices scare you worth every penny. This restaurant rivals any from our home state of Arkansas”

“On our recent visit the food was very good and the service was great. We are a bit disappointed that bread is no longer available and neither are baked potatoes apparently. However the salmon and sirloin steak were delicious and we will return.”

“hospitable staff. laid back atmosphere. slots are the devil, can't blame Captains Palace for that, though. small so not all noisy and annoying. decent. fantastic owners. 10/10 return rate”

“Friendly, great customer service!!! The food is cooked to order - hot and fresh!!! Those Fried Potatoes 🔥🔥🔥 highly recommend 10/10”

The entire staff is so nice & great face..it was a pleasure to dine in your establishment & definitely will return. Ty again for taking such good care of us”

“Delicious meal, friendly staff and VERY fast. We will be back”

“Quick and fast coffee. The menus kind of hard to read/comprehend. They have every flavor known to man on display in the windows. Pulling up you can ask for anything off the top of your head. The menu items are good themselves, if you can catch it before the screen changes.”

“I’ve been lucky to travel all over the country and was thrilled to find a coffee shop in Decatur that is as good or better than any coffee shop in any major city in the country. This place is a Central IL treasure with an atmosphere to match. Not to be missed!”

“Love the food, service is excellent and the people are friendly. One thing puzzles me though. Both the Mid Week special and the Family Feast have the same base: Spaghetti, Torpedo and Garlic bread. The Mid Week special comes with Cinnamon Bread which is free, so you're just paying for the base. The Family Feast comes with a quart of soda which is not indicated as free, so you're paying for the base plus the soda. Why does the Mid Week special cost more?”

“We tried it here for the first time and the food was ready when they said it would be. Pizza was delicious and the drive through made it so convenient we will do it again.”

“My husband and I decided to venture out and order from here on DoorDash. He’s had I Dian food and I’m pretty new to it other than the basics. Needless to say we have found a new favorite restaurant. The portions were good and we had leftovers. All of the food was cooked perfect and had amazing flavor. We can’t wait to order again. The menu has so much variety and is reasonably priced. Definitely lucky to have something like this in Decatur!”

“Good food and great people”

“We haven’t been in since the remodel and today we was driving by and decided it’s been a while let’s go eat here. We was not disappointed AT ALL! Everyone was super friendly from the bartenders to the kitchen staff and our waitress was top notch! Our drinks never got to less than half full and she checked on us just enough! The food was soooo good! Their hand cut fries are cooked to perfection and today we was going in for lunch so we got burgers and they was so full of flavor and prepared just how we asked. We will for sure be going back!”

“My daughter and I went in for dinner tonight. The Chimichanga was absolutely delicious. The portions are huge! The tacos my daughter ordered were outstanding and they were also served with large plates of rice and beans. Everything on the menu looked delicious so when we go back we will try other items! The staff is very kind and attentive and very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience.”

“Came here for lunch with coworkers. They highly recommended it. Food was SO GOOD! I had a Cuban sandwich and a cup of potato soup. Service was prompt and friendly. I’ll definitely be returning to try more items!”

“Fresh ingredients. Friendly staff. Easy ordering online. My family’s favorite pizza!

Dietary restrictions: I have a food sensitivity to mozzarella (not dairy). They offer an alternative cheese that tasted great & didn’t have any negative side effects.”

“BEST PIZZA IN TOWN. STORE AND EMPLOYEES WERE CLEAN, POLITE SERVICE. PIZZA HAD AMAZING FLAVOR. WE LIKE THE DOUBLE THIN CRUST.

“The best burrito truck in Decatur food is always on point”

“The teriyaki chicken wrap is amazing!”

“The food here is always hot and fresh the sushi is always perfect and they will cook to order. I used to love First wok but Asia house has definitely replaced them as the best Chinese restaurant in Decatur.”

“It’s a very good restaurant, I’ve never had a negative experience. Food is always very good, service is always good too. I’ve had a couple times where they have been super busy and service can be a bit slow. But it’s busy so to be expected. I’d definitely recommend giving this place a try.”

“We had a group of teens that needed lunch. The service was quick even with three vans in their parking lot. The kids appreciated the price that they could afford a full meal.”

“Their pizza is sooo good and always ready for me when I order for pickup highly recommend giving them a try!”

“Amazing customer service! Came in for their catfish filets, left with 2 combos with hush puppies and JUMBO jumbo shrimp, all delicious! Our order was ready in under 10 minutes! (6 p.m. on a Wednesday) Their lemon pepper seasoning is heavenly and the hot sauce is perfect. Highly recommend, we’ll be back!!”

“Awesome place for food, fun and adult beverages. Live music on weekends, food & drink specials on most days, friendly employees and great people.”

“Love this place! This is my favorite location, but the other locations are great too. The staff is friendly, and they remember your orders. The owners love to support and team up with other local small business and organizations, which is awesome! The staff is so creative with new drinks every month. I go here probably way too much haha”

“I love Coffee Connection! I don't drink coffee but I LOVE their Iced Vanilla Chai Tea. It's the best I have ever had anywhere and I have tried a ton! The employees are always bright and cheery and that's been the case every trip for the last 13+ years. I used to live across the street and I visited often back then. We moved about 10 years ago and now whenever I'm in the area I have to stop for a tea. Today was one of those days and the tea was the perfect like always! Thank you Coffee Connection!”

“Highly recommend Door 4 Brewing in Decatur . doesn't look like much from the parking lot but once you enter, the brewery is very inviting clean , nice music and the James at the bar is outstanding. All their offerings are on big screen TV for you to read with styles ratings and pricing.. they also have a decent selection of Guest taps, wine and liquor. Sampled a couple flights they were all very good The Munich Dunkel was my favorite. The Custom 1903 was outstanding for an American Lager They also have KCs smokehouse on site. Their barbecue is legit very good offering brisket, ribs, chicken, turkey rib tips a d pulled pork. their sides are very good. You have to try the smoked potatoes.”

“Food was Amazing. Fantastic service even through a busy lunch. 10/10”

“very good, very fresh. I am not crazy about fish, however this place is real legit! outstanding!”

“Great burger, fries, and onion rings. This may be our favorite place for a burger. Customer service is outstanding!”

“Great small town, Decatur, Illinois local owners, and has the best custard ice cream, creamy and tasty. I just love their lemon strawberry twist. My husband loves the burgers and fries. Once you try it out, you'll go back for more.

Parking: Small parking lot, but it's mostly to go orders. Had outdoor tables and benches convenient for family members, friends, and roadrrip stopped and have a unique atmospheric place with a huge roste metallic structure right in front, family's owned logo. Great experience...”

“we are not a restaurant.. lol”

“As a bar this place is pretty decent, usually a very laid back crowd. For breakfast tho, this place is awesome. I was hesitant at first to go to a bar for Saturday morning breakfast. But it was great, food was fantastic. Service was slightly lacking, it wasn’t too busy I just think staff was short. Not sure. But wasn’t great, however the food made up for it. Great place go give it a shot.”

“Great Food, good service. I've never had bad meal and eat there ate least 2 or 3 times a month there.”

“good friends, good times , good people”

“Low key vibe, felt like it was 1990 between the prices and the atmosphere. Food was ON POINT! Best burgers we have ever eaten with a 1990 price tag. Jukebox with good tunes. Check it out!”

“good friendly service and great food”

“Have had the tier 1 pork nachos twice & they were incredible. Unlike any other nachos I’ve ever had. True small local business. Very cozy atmosphere too. Melissa, one of the owners, is very sweet & down to earth. A must stop place if your in Decatur area !”

“I'll be totally upfront. I've always avoided places like Starbucks, because I despise everything they stand for, especially the pretentious bs. But I stopped here at 7 Brew for the first time today, and I am hooked from here on. Their price for a small iced drink was reasonable enough, it was delicious, and the young lady who waited on me could not have been sweeter. The speed of service was fantastic. I realize they're not exactly a 'local small business', and I'll always prioritize those, but I'll take 7 over Starbucks any day.”

“Great grilled cheese any way you want them with great prices and friendly staff!”

“Best pizza in town ...still!!!!!!”

“Ordered the 60z steak that they charged $45.00. Half the steak was all fat. Orders grilled shrimp on side they was not cooked from inside still cold inside must have taken en it out of freezer n dropped in pan. They must not have had a chef since did not know that the $45.00 6oz steak was all fat n maybe had like 3bites might as well go to Macdonald nasty steak for such high price”

“We had Gordita’s for the first time. It’s like a pita but made out of tamales. If you eat it, you’ll get it. So good, definitely made fresh.”

“They were super busy when we arrived at the restaurant, and there was a line, so it took a little while to be seated. We were so hungry since we had just finished the Prairie Pedal Ride at Rock Springs. We had a very friendly waitress that kept our mugs full while we waited for our food.

Parking: We parked in the parking lot that is facing the restaurant.”

“We had the Mac and cheese bowl with Brisket and it was AMAZING!!!!”

“If you want that fresh off the fire BBQ flavor, this is your place. I’m talking Church revival, Sunday picnic type food. Where others failed PTs hit the spot. Fresh & hot! It’s no wonder they've been around as long they have.”

“I highly recommend biggens to anyone who wants to eat or even shoot a friendly game of pool or even have a drink, it is the most layed back friendliest place in Decatur and the staff and owners are absolutely amazing!!”

“Food was absolutely incredible tasting!!! It was my 1st time there and I loved it!! This needs exposure because there weren't many people there and with the way I seen it.....it should've been packed. Food was great. Drinks were cold and tasty and the service was like being back in my old neighborhood at my friend's house waiting on they mama to cook dinner!!! In other words....it felt like home. The service couldn't have been better. If you haven't yet tried this then get on in there because you won't be disappointed!! And if u have,then give this place a shout..WOOT WOOT THIRSTY'S SPEAKEASY IS THE POO!!!!”

“every since I first bought a Hunt Brothers pizza I was sold to deliciousness. I worked for pizza hut at the time and the second time I bought a Hunt Brothers pizza I told the clerks at the store the pizza to me is better than Pizza Hut. then I seen the sign in the window and found out Hunt Brothers has breakfast pizza and it's been a little over four years now and Hunt Brothers pizza is all I buy. what I love is taste, quality, price and fact the toppings don't cost extra. keep up the good work and keep the customers happy. Thank you Hunt Brothers.”

“What great service. I was able to place my order and pay for it. They brought it to the car for me because I haven't been in buildings for so long. I'll be back!”

“Wonderful people trying to help the disabled & seniors. Many of us are both. Having happily volunteered in the past to deliver meals on holidays, I understand how stressful this can be for some. Thx all you volunteers.I have many food allergies due to an autoimmune disease & appreciate the problems this can cause in the kitchen & offices.Everyone here gets it right an amazing 98% of the time except for the green+black eyed peas & lima beans which I just don't eat. Sometimes I can freeze them to give to someone who needs them so they don't go to waste. Except, no homeless coming by to give them to so far this year. Could you please pray for our homeless whether they are still with us or not?”

“We had the most excellent experience at Cracker Barrel Decatur, IL. Upon entry we were greeted in a kind manner. Once we were seated our server Cameron M was extremely friendly and offered right away to get us something to drink. After she brought our drinks to the table she made sure we were ready to order and was very knowledgeable about menu items. She gave recommendations, offered add on such as cheese with our eggs and read our order back to us to ensure it was correct. She checked on us between the time we ordered and when the food was brought to the table and made sure we had plenty to drink. Our food arrived at the table hot and delicious. She’s was so courteous from start to finish and we will definitely be coming back due to her hospitality! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Excellent customer experience and over the top service. I've always loved El Coral, but today was exceptional. I asked our server if the chips were friend (maybe a dumb question) because I'm doing a challenge where I'm not eating friend foods for 75 days. He said no problem he can have the kitchen bake me some chips and brought them right out! The food is always excellent and this just made my day!”

“Came here on 05/11. My husband and I came in for dinner and some drinks so we sat at the bar. Our bartender was amazing!!! I feel so bad I can’t remember her name. =(. She did an amazing job holding down the bar and getting drinks for the entire place. All while even waiting tables inside and out. Which got pretty busy. Everything was kept up with and just really did bust her butt the entire night. We had great service and never had to wait for anything. Keep up the great work!!!”

“Food was great and so was the service ! Toilet was a little small though !”

“We had a large party between 35-40 people and I believe Elizabeth was our waitress. She was phenomenal. Great service. Food came out very quickly and was very good. Two thumbs up for Elizabeth! 👍🏻👍🏻”

“"Donnie's Homespun Pizza is a must-visit! Their fresh, flavorful, and unique pizzas are unbeatable. The downtown location is stylish, vibrant, and has a comfortable vibe. Highly recommend!"”

“Picked up gyros for my sister and I today—that’s what she wanted for her birthday. They were delicious! The gyro meat was perfectly seasoned. Great service and a good amount of food for the price. I’ll be back.”

“The food here was so good. It was lunch time but i went for the all day breakfast. The portion sizes were huge, so i ended up taking a take home box with me. I love trying new locally owned places like Gabby's because it always feels like home. And this place was no different. The staff that works here were so friendly and easy to chat with. The dinner had a warm atmosphere and was clean. And in the back of the dinner there a hidden bonus for anyone who likes to play the slots, because they have a room just for that. So while you wait for your food, you can slip on back to the slot machines and win a few extra bucks like i did. So if you want a good home cooked meal, whether it be breakfast lunch or dinner this would be the perfect spot if you're in the Decatur area. I will definitely be stopping here again on my next trip to Decatur.”

“Friendly, fast and delicious Fresco meal.”
