“One of my friends took me there during spoon River drive. It was the first time I had visited there. I was quite impressed!! The food was outstanding. It was nice seeing employees with a smile on their face and they were very helpful. The place was immaculate!! I will be“
“This place is great! Lots of drink options! At least 16 beers on tap, more in cans, full bar for mixed drinks, and even have high noon and white claw for seltzer drinkers. I was very happy with all the food. We ordered the Bella burger, mufaleta, sweet potato fries, and ghost pepper cheese curds. Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. The ambiance is very cool, with typical dive bar decor. I was impressed with the clean bathrooms. Lastly, service was exceptional. All the girls are attentive and friendly. We will be returning!Kid-friendliness: I can only speak to lunch hour, but there were plenty of kids and families in the bar.“
“I took my beautiful darling love of my life out for her birthday there and was very impressed with the exquisite tasty dinner. I had the maple salmon and she had the pork chops, OH so GOOD!

AND YES I WILL BE BACK AGAIN ON NEXT SURPRISING EVENT! OH AND THE WAITRESS WAS ON TOP OF HER GAME, EXCELLANT SERVICE! WHAT A WAY TO START 2024!“
“We jumped off the highway for a quick lunch while on vacation to northern Illinois. Found this place on Yelp. It was an easy stop off the highway. The owner recommended the tenderloin prepared fresh in house. They were even kind enough to serve it in separate baskets with an extra toasted bun. It was perfect. Pounded thin and served crispy with all the fixings. I also recommend the fresh haystack onion rings! Would definitely stop here again if in the area.“
“We hadn’t been several years, but it’s just as good as I remembered. I had chicken gizzards & spaghetti, and my husband had the bluegill. The spaghetti tasted just like it did 30 years ago when we first started going. The gizzards were delicious (which is the real reason I went there), and my husband bluegill was amazing. There was plenty of food, and the service is always great!“
“Nice spacious room with karaoke and dance floor. Beer garden is very nice. If you gamble they have 5 gaming machines and a nice area. The bar has plenty of seating and the bartenders are very friendly. A large tv selection with all the games too!“
“Friends of ours told us about this place but we've never been because we're not in Farmington very often. It was well worth the 40 minute drive and we'd recommend it too. A real local family restaurant with the feel of a Wisconsin supper club. We didn't have any brandy old fashioned's but our cocktails were served in mason jars. We had the combo appetizer which includes your choice of three of the various options (mostly fried). We had the mozz logs (mozzarella sticks), bullets (jalapeño poppers) and clams. The clams were by far the star of these options. The house salads were basic but served on chilled plates with homemade dressings that you don't see much of anymore and they were perfect. We ordered chicken alfredo, raviolis with meat sauce and the walleye. Chicken alfredo was not your cookie cutter dish found anywhere, it was generous on chicken and plenty of flavor other than the sauce. The walleye was two nice size pieces that were thicker and more like mass produced cod filets. I'm more of a fan of the thinner filets that curl up when they're fried but the flavor and batter were perfect. The star of the entrees was the ravioli with meat sauce. I'm sure this is how Nonne Scapecchi built her following when they opened over 25 years ago (We think she's the one who greeted us and showed us to our table). Be sure to save room for one of their homemade desserts too. We shared their butterfinger cake and it was delicious. Our server, Tina, was very friendly and accurate with her advice about our menu questions. Bring your cash or use their ATM in the bar for $3 despite what Yelp says on this listing they're cash only. No need for reservations unless you're a party of six or more. We'd recommend this place too if you're looking for something off the beaten path and local with homemade items throughout the menu. We'll definitely be back!“
