Restaurants in Decatur

“I had so much fun here. I hung out with some friends while listening to a band and we all had a great time. It was very laid back without all the chaos a lot of bars have.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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”

“Decatur Club provided the bar service for our event of close to 300!! very professional and friendly! Definitely recommend!!”

“Absolutely loved my Milwaukee Polish Sausages! Great service & food at fantastic prices~I love what you did with the place also! I am looking forward to my next trip there! Best wishes to you all!”

“We finally had them and we are blown away. The cake was amazing. Frosting and filling were heavenly. We can’t wait to try more things.”

“Great Food and Great Service!”

“Best pizza in town ...still!!!!!!”

“shout out to whoever made my pizza tonight! I ordered Casey's for myself while my husband had PH. mine was trash! and that's where it ended up. he secretly called in PH for me and thank you! I'll never oder from that other place again! Y'all's crust is awesome!”

“Roe and Ashley are amazing super friendly and always have good attitudes make u feel welcome. The food is always fresh and taste really good. Roe made a recommendation for me to try the melts and they were so good will definitely be getting again!!!!!!! 10/10 would recommend”

“Really good food but they need to work on their online ordering. Ordered 4 adult meals and large cheese dip online for pick up. Only got one small salsa and small bag of chips. There is no option on the online menu to add a large salsa or chips and pay for it which I would have been happy to do.”

“Best tikka masala I’ve ever had! Also very friendly”

“Since discovering Diamonds last August, we’ve been back several times and will continue to go back! We make a point to go every time we travel to Decatur. The entire staff is always very friendly and welcoming. They are always happy to see customers coming in even when super busy. They are definitely doing things right with the customer’s satisfaction always in mind. Consistent, top notch, fast service and excellent food at a good price every single time!”

“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.”

“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?”

“Great little coffee place with friendly staff and a wonderful atmosphere. By far one of the best around. Highly recommend!”

“literally my favorite place to get chicken from ever”

“Highly recommend this restaurant! I ordered the Saag Paneer special (spinach curry with pan-fried cheese and rice) and it was amazing. The gentleman at the desk was kind enough to give suggestions on what to order and the whole atmosphere was lovely. I will definitely be back to try more.”

“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”

“Good food and great people”

“Ate there tonight for the 1st time. Had the Catfish basket. Outstanding food and service.”

“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!”

“Amazing service and food is delicious!!! You all rock!!!”

“They work very hard, great service, kindness, hospitality, and great food!”

“We really liked your double crust pizza with sausage. Had it for the first time yesterday for lunch! There was a great amount of cheese, and the sausage was delicious. Loved the crispy crust. Your breadsticks are amazing as well, and the garlic butter dip on the side was the icing on the cake. SO TASTY! I dipped my pizza in the garlic butter as well. Such a wonderful and filling meal. Thank you so much! Keep up the great work!”

“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!”

“We ate here a little after lunch time today. It was some of the best food we have had in a long time. Staff was super friendly as well. 10/10 for us”

“Went to Tacos N Beer taqueria tonight for the first time. It was excellent, we will definitely return! Loved the birriatacos with the fresh made tortillas. Authentic Mexican cuisine. Highly recommend!! Met the owner, Ramón, he was so friendly and welcoming.”

“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!”

“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.”

“I heard about this place ages ago and finally was able to get some and it did not disappoint! food was amazing staff was friendly Highly recommend!”

“The teriyaki chicken wrap is amazing!”

“My first time eating here, but at the truck by Utop. He was friendly and still served me even though I was early. The 3amigos burrito was the size of a 10lb baby. The quesadilla was just as stuffed and the tortilla basically melted in your mouth.”

“I’m giving a HUGE shout out to the manager that runs Lu Lu’s Pizza & Gaming. I’m a frequent flyer here. Mostly gamble at this establishment, but eat there. Antoine took good care of me and went above and beyond service when he helped me with a situation that recently happened. Thank you for all your help and your professional service provided! I’m giving a 5 out of 5 stars!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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. YOU WONT BE DISSATISFIED AND YOU CAN ENJOY EATING IT KNOWING ITS FROM A TRUSTED SOURCE. THE LAST PIZZA I GOT FROM SOUTH SHORES WAS MADE WITH ROTTEN TOPPINGS. FOR NOW ON WE WILL ONLY ORDER FROM DELCARMENS.”

“If I could give them a 10 I would. Not only is the food fresh and fabulous, Clint and Neil, co-owners, serve it up with passion and dedication to their products and service. Visiting them for dinner is the best part of my day.”

“Consistently great Chinese food. It's always ready quickly; they handle big orders with ease, and they have never forgotten anything. The only place we order from in Decatur.”

“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...”

“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!”

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

“we are not a restaurant.. lol”

“Great environment! Amazing beers, great people... I love this place! I'd work here for free! with an employee discount of course... 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.”

“Zoey was very kind and super helpful and friendly towards me. She made the atmosphere more fun and enjoyable. She did a good job!!!

Parking: Parking good plenty of space!”

“My husband and i stopped in one afternoon and ate lunch. I had the ground beef chimichangas and husband had carnitas. Best mexican food we have had in awhile! Chips and salsa was terrific and service was great!! Took half home for dinner, so plent of food for the price☺️”

“Ordered lunch from here yesterday for a small work meeting. By far the best experience I’ve had with ordering for a group. Super friendly and our order was 100% right! Will definitely order from here again!”

“Best pizza in town ...still!!!!!!”

“Had the chicken taco salad from their food truck. it was my first time and it was delicious!”

“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”

“Generally a very laid back bar, I’ve been several times to play darts and run a couple games of pool. I’ve never met a bad crowd or anyone that wasn’t friendly. Friendly bar staff, Pool table, darts, slots, not much else you need. Perfect little bar.”

“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.”

“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 like to walk up here with my dog and go through the drive through always takes about five minutes to get my food. Always good food, little annoying that the lobby isn't open but great for what I need it for.”

“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!!”

“Bartenders are great, the atmosphere is chill and many friendly patrons!”

“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”

“It’s an amazing place, we had a server named mark and he was tremendous. His serving skills were outstanding and he was very sweet and nice. He took care of our table throughout our stay and helped to choose the best dishes to eat. All the dishes at the restaurant were made delicious. Thanks to the chef also and the staff.”

“I have been going to this Jimmy Johns for the past couple years, a couple times a week for lunch. Not once have I had a wrong order or missing item. They always have my order ready to go when I arrive. The workers are all very nice and welcoming. The store is very clean and put together.”

“We recently had a group of about 35. The food was delicious and staff were absolutely amazing! Prices are excellent and they were very accommodating in every aspect! I would highly recommend! Hopefully this will be our new family partying spot!”

“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!!!!”

“Quiet. Food is freshly prepared. People are so polite and friendly. Outside courtyard to eat when it is nice out. Prices are super cheap. Drinks are yummy. Indoor playplace for the kids with only 1 entrance/exit, which is great for parents to not worry if their child escaped out a back door!!”

“Best stop in Decatur ! Always a go to !”

“Tasteys always has amazing food and customer service! Kylah is the best! She's our favorite girl!”

“Best place I know to shoot pool (3 tables) and some of the best players in town. Also love the touchtunes jukebox with free photos with instant up loads to facebook video gaming, free jukebox (classic rock). Drink prices are very reasonable and I love the residents aka regular customers.”

“Best wings I've ever had”

“great pizza and all items on the menu are great. the service is second to none.”

“On behalf of the employees at the Bayer Illiopolis site, we want to say thank you for coming out today! Everyone loved the meal!

“Had a very nice Ribeye steak dinner this evening at The Sport Zone. We also sampled the Rib Tips. On Mondays they have Rib Tips and Fries for $5 and they are very good. Everything was delicious, reasonably priced and the service was great.”

“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?”

“I've enjoyed Hunt Bros. for over 20 years. The slices are a great after work snack and on a "we just want the whole thing" night, one phone call is all. Our local Marathon ladies make them less than a mile from our house !”

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

“I ordered the Cahew chick. it could have had more cashews but it was very flavorful”

“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!”

“This was the very first Culver's we went to. Our son lives in Maroa, which is north of Decatur. We were really glad when one was built in a town only 12 miles away from our town. We live in the southern part of Illinois and it is around 3 hour drive when we visit our son and his family.

Parking: There are quite a few spots for parking, but of course this is a busy place in a larger town, so sometimes it may be hard to find a spot, but food is worth the wait.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are handicapped parking spots. I hate to see when people who don't need them use them because they are too lazy to walk from the side of the building to the entrance.”

“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!!!”

“Donnie's Homespun is the by far the best pizza in all of Decatur and Central Illinois.”

“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.”

“amazing with the cream cheese”

“Check out the mini beers. Great place just to have a good time shoot some pool or listen to good music”

“This was my first time at this place and the first thing I noticed was there is only one pool table. Once I got inside the staff gave me a warm greeting and made me feel like a regular. The bar was spacious and well stocked. They had a free taco bar that night and it was delicious. I really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and will be going back soon.”

“Their lengua tacos are the best I have ever had. It's not a fancy place. Our server was quick and friendly. The atmosphere is extremely informal but clean.”

“The 48 Inn is one of those good old bars that have been around forever and one that I seldom visit despite living near to it. They are very accommodating and friendly staff and clientele that are friendly in equal measure. IN SHORT, the 48 INN is one of those bars that makes you feel comfortable and at ease even as a first timer, as I learned many many years ago!”

“their chicken is the best it be fire and so our their honey biscuits”

“Best service and good food. It’s Friday night and not packed. It should be!! You NEED to get in here and try out some good Mexican food with great service!! Every single server my lady and I have had has been great!!”

“This was a very nice Arby's I spent the night in their parking lot on my way to St Louis. I highly discharge anyone from parking at Walmart overnight. I seen boots on cars and a warning sign best not to take unnecessary chances.”

“Thank you Charles and staff for great pizza and dessert pizza. The staff here at Buena Vista National Bank Decatur and Warrensburg enjoyed it!”

“Quaint business located in an odd parcel of overall property, but with that said, it's a gem of a place with outstanding food offerings and the service is exemplary. Have returned multiple times for their lunch offerings specifically.”

“Great customer service! We ordered last night. Our pizza was made incorrectly, an oversight/honest mistake. I called to see if I could reorder a smaller pizza to make our picky eater happy. Lulus insisted on remaking the entire large pizza. It wasn’t even a question for them. They went above and beyond to make our order right! Both orders were ready for pickup in 15 minutes! Plus, they gave us extra cookies!”

“Our favorite. I get the Hunan tofu the most and the tofu is cooked so perfectly. Great egg rolls and Rangoon. Orders are always correct.

Vegetarian options: Tofu s cooked well”

“Good place for a quick quiet lunch.”

“Breakfast was pretty good and the price was even better. Our server was very helpful. Can't remember her name but she was delightful. I will definitely eat there again.”

“Thank you for fixing my sandwich it's a shame I had to drive so far to get my order corrected
but the east wood store is TRAAAASH!!! This store is the ish ?”

“Best, and only true, Maxwell Street polish in town!”

“T was a very good waitress. Us being the rowdies in the whole place and she handles us perfectly. This is the second time we’ve been here and it has been perfect every time.”

“Tonight was our first time eating at the Burger Theory, I’m sad we waited so long. It was delicious start to finish. Lemon drop martini spot on! Firecracker shrimp was out of this world delicious! Burgers were so delicious! And carrot cake for dessert, amazing! Staff was super friendly and attentive. ♥️ We will definitely come back!”

“We go in anytime there is Karaoke (Tuesdays) or Comedy (alternating Thursdays) and the food is always fresh and the staff is the best! Some items take a little longer but its because they make everything to order. We loves the Wings, Pasta, and Calzones.

Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome, kitchen is open until 8pm.

Wheelchair accessibility: Back (west) door is wheel chair accessible.”

“Oh, Krekel's, it's been too long!!! The best burgers in the world!!! And the fries!!! The corn dog was great, too.
The prices are very reasonable.
I love Krekel's!!!”

“It’s always warm inside, but the food is great. They are always some what busy … good food”

“Good . We enjoyed it very much. Great service and service. We got there almost closing time, and we apologized , but we are so thankful for welcoming us and had a great experience with amazing friendliness of the hosts....”

“We live in Virginia but we have always got Monical’s Pizza when when we come back. We love the dressings and the pizza. I wish we had one here in Virginia.”

“I was at another restaurant and my order wasn’t ready when it was supposed to be. The manager of Culver’s was behind me and asked for my address to sent me a couple of free sundae coupons because I was having a bad day. She actually sent them!! Thank you for making my day brighter.”
