Restaurants near Emington

“Excellent food and huge portions. Would highly recommend.”

“It's a really great restaurant in a great location! Right off the highway, so it's easy on and easy off.
Good prices with a TON of options on the menu and large portions for all (even the kids' meals). Nice decor and nice clean bathrooms.
Great service, too.”

“Perfect Blend lives up to its name. It is the perfect blend of friendliness and flavor. Allison has truly made her shop a place of community! I'm not a coffee drinker, but love the Wildberry Smoothie on warm days and the Citrus Hibiscus tea on cold days.”

“Awesome tacos and friendly set!”

“Purchased a 6 pack of the apple cider. Very tasty highly recommend.”

“Food was fantastic! Will definitely order again! Thank you!”

“Haven’t been here since they changed owners. Always lived in the area but never gave them a chance until today (after I’ve heard multiple great experiences from people that live up north). My friend and I both ordered an italian beef sandwich. They were made fairly quick & tasted phenomenal!! I definitely got my moneys worth coming here rather than going to the local coffee shop for my sandwich in Piper. Also, their drinks are very affordable! 2 crown & cran drinks for only $11? Those mixed drinks also tasted amazing! Definitely come here!”

“I spotted a pub, a nice brick structure attached to a house. Like many neighborhood pubs, the sign showed the Old Style beer logo. I walked in through the doors. I attracted attention. Nobody cared that I had insisted on wearing a mask. I looked unfamiliar.A woman called out, "How are you doing, sweetie?" "Oh, I'm fine. Passing through. I stopped for Tom's Sweet Corn, and need to stretch my legs." A man smiled, "So, you're not a local." I thought, "It would take a lifetime to become a local. All I need to do is sit down and order an Old Style." "I live over in Streator," I offered, hoping to look local enough. A woman squealed, "I'm from Streator!" "How about that. I'm thirty miles east of Streator and I meet a neighbor!" I excused myself. I had downed an extra large soda at Jimmy Johns in downtown Kankakee.The rest rooms shared a sink in the hall between the biffys. The wood door suggested an age of one hundred years old or more. Wood gets drier and lighter as it ages. The door handles reminded me of the late Nineteenth Century, just a touch hand made.I wondered, "Should I buy a bar stool buddy a shot to say thanks for a clean restroom?" I walked over to the bar. I spotted a freezer stocked with six dollar frozen pizzas. Not one vegan pizza I felt sure. Hunger had arrived. A set of coolers showed off all the cans for sale. "Might I buy a Coke?" The woman bartending probably owned the bar. "Sure, that will be a dollar". Thank you I said as I gave her two dollars. "It's only a dollar, hon." "I wish to show my gratitude," I said with a smile."What brings you this way?" said the man who deduced my traveling status. "I was in Kankakee." "Kankakee? What brought you to Kankakee?" "I'm learning how to be a census taker. I count twenty at the pub. Let me write that down." He laughed. I had satisfied his curiosity by making him laugh. "You take care of yourself, hon," said the one woman who greeted me first when I came inside. "Yes, please take care of yourself, too. I'll be back".It seemed like the right thing to say. I stepped out the door into the rays of a sun setting to the west. A John Deere gator, a blend between a tractor and a golf cart, proceeded towards Tom's corn. I spotted a few more as I drove to Tom's to score a dozen sweet ears.Tom's yard looked like a John Deere commercial. One farmer arrived pulling a hay wagon full of people behind his yellow and green John Deere tractor. A man set at the wheel of his gator, closest to the picnic table where awaited the corn. "Hey, I bet you're Tom!" "That's right, I'm Tom." "Are you hosting a corn roast, Tom?" "Nope, it's a community gathering." "Might I pick out a few ears?" "Sure, hello yourself. There's the cash box. Put in what you want. Put in nothing. Take all you want."I started to fill a plastic bag after sliding two dollars in the slot cut in the cash box. I thought that fair for six ears. "What's the event, Tom?" "It's a community picture. We just repainted our town sign, and fixed up the landscaping." I hadn't noticed. People kept arriving in vans, by car and even by ATV. "Is this a Lions Club project?" "Nope. We disbanded our club. The national wanted too much money every year. We just do our own community club. A long time resident left money in a will for the sign".He patted the seat of his gator. "Any body need a ride." The sign stood right across the street. "Thank you, Tom. How long will you be picking sweet corn?" "Straight through Labor Day. You drive through often?" "First time by. Have a good night."I counted twenty people walking over from the pub. It looked as if every two hundred citizens of Reddick planned to pose, smiling at the sunset. Soon, I”

“Went for the fish fry they advertised on Facebook. It was real good! Three good sized pieces of fried cod, loaded mashed potatoes and coleslaw for $13 and change.

My friend and I I ate at the bar, and had a couple of beers. They don’t have draft beer, and they didn’t have MGD or High Life. We settled for Busch Light, which was a great complement to the fish.

The bartender was nice and attentive. It was quiet enough for my friend and I to have a pretty serious conversation.

I hope they do more of these fish fries, but would prefer they be on the weekend!”

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again”

“Very friendly staff to myself, my partner, and our young daughter. Food was solid and restaurant was clean. Probably about 6 tables with at least 4+ seats each for dining in. Thanks for a great roadtrip dinner, y’all!”

“live bands ward showed So”

“We ate there for the first time today. The food was great and service was excellent. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend this establishment. Enjoy!”

“We went on a Friday night and had the fish dinner. Both the broiled and the fried dinners were very good. The service was quick and friendly. The prices were descent as well. This seemed like a great place for families.”

“family ordered poor boy, Italian beef, chicken wrap, pork tenderloin, s.w.eggrolls f.f. potato salad fair prices for good portions. food was OK for eats for under 100 bucks. downers food was dry. soft raw tasting fries.”

“I've been in the past, very good ! Went this time 10 years later, and they're filming a Netflix series about Ed Gein there ! It's a cool super old saloon. Why not rite ! I suggest you patronize this establishment when it opens to the public !”

“The staff was Great and food was Delicious. Thanks Joy for treating my girl good on her Birthday ❤️”

“Recent interior updates, the inside looks great! Still has a great menu, great prices, friendly staff and clean store.

Amazing food! The staff is very friendly too! Definitely a great place to check out if you're in Dwight.”

“Stopped at this location just now and had the absolute best service and food was all super fresh, and even the 2 for 1.50 apple pies were fresh literally right out of the fryer! Bill rang us up and Johnathon also assisted us. Both were so nice and accommodating. This day and age we just don't have service like these two! Good job ? keep these guys on payroll!!!!!”

“Went today only to have my order wrong again. My last 3 visits the order has been wrong when I got home. The staff is rude most of the time. This place is ridiculous. If you go back because of a wrong order they treat you poorly and argue with you.”

“This McDonalds is great. Clean, updated, friendly staff and good food. We had to spend a a few hours here with our toddler while waiting for a tow truck and the staff was so kind.”
