“Good spot for local grub! When you enter, you'll see the bar and lots of bar-height tables. Past the bar to the left is another room with regular tables and booths (better for our family dining). The room is also sparsely filled with game machines for all ages. The atmosphere isn't the bar area was hyped up, as everyone was watching sports on TV. The other dining room was almost eerily quiet and subdued.The service and food were good. We all enjoyed our meals - burgers, sandwiches, fries, etc. - but didn't have anything special to draw us back. We felt like we were a bit forgotten sitting in the "other" room.If I want to watch a game, I'd definitely come back without the kiddos and sit in the bar area.Parking: Street parking is available along Main Street, and there are various free parking lots all around the area within a short walking distance.Kid-friendliness: A kids menu is available. Our 6-year-old liked the food but thought her burger was too big/tall to bite without cutting up.There are a few electronic games for some fun, but the atmosphere is pretty low-key otherwise.Wheelchair accessibility: One main door entrance right off the sidewalk leads to a single-level restaurant with clear aisles between tables. Extra dining room has chair-height seating and plenty of space for maneuvering.“
“Big Catz offers a great menu. I have been very impressed with the food and service everytime I have been there. The food is always hot and delicious. Big Catz is definitely a sports themed establishment. I enjoy the ambiance and the memorabilia displayed. The biggest shout out to Big Catz is their community service and involvement.“
“An old firehouse converted into a very cool restaurant and brewery, the Iron Spike delivered perfectly on atmosphere, service, food, and craft brew. We started off with a tasty appetizer of thai shrimp. Extremely flavorful and fabulous way to start off the food adventure. Our entrees were pulled pork sandwich with homemade bbq sauce, Asian crunch burger, Peanut Butter and Bacon burger (added a side of their homemade jalapeno jam), and Jalapeño Popper burger...all with crunchy fries. Sunday they have a happy hour that offers 1/2 priced drinks, which was perfect for a flight of 5 beers to sample their offering. We did add the peanut butter porter with the peanut butter burger for a perfect pairing! If you are in the Galesburg area, I highly recommend you give this place a try!“
