“Even though they only take cash this is my go-to place for burgers. They are hands down the best burgers I've had in Illinois. There's just something about a juicy cheeseburger and Babe's Tap gets it so right!”

“My husband, daughter and I were just at the Joel Horkstra/Brandon Gibbs show. We had such a good time. Everyone was so nice, too. We hope to be back. We didn’t order any food but what I saw, it all looked good. (Using my husband's account to write this)”

“My wife and I went here for her birthday. We both had the delmonico ribeye. It's one of the best steaks I've ever had. Seasoned and cooked perfectly.”

“Delivered our food in a timely manner. Food was simply delicious. The mango habanero chicken was sweet and slightly spicy not too much, and the chopped salad is definitely something to try. Pizza is always great.”

“My son almost inhaled the ribs. Gyro plate was pretty good. And my daughter loved the corn dogs. The guy at the drive through was pleasant and even double checked the bag before giving it to me.”

“Went the other night and was pretty good. The pastor meat was cooked just a little too much and kinda crispy. I hate when places use those mini taco shells like they do too. Other than that good food and service.”

“Traveling for a family road trip we had stored across the street to get gas and asked a lady at the pump next to us if the restaurant across the street was any good. She sang their praises lol. She wasn’t wrong. We were greeted courteously and quickly, we had our two young boys with us and the lady was very quick to make them feel comfortable. The lady helped us get our order in quickly and to go. Food was amazing and fast and amazing to eat on the go.”
“Such a fun, cute place! The beers were good and the bartender, Mark, was awesome! Our whole family loved the game room and the great food. My daughter loved the hearts in the girls bathroom ❤️ We’ll definitely be back!”
“We love this restaurant! The Korner Keg has two sides of their facility; one is more of a bar and the other is for dining. The two sides are connected; you can also enter the dining side directly from Main St. We found the dining side to be very family-friendly. They even put Toy Story on for the two kids who were eating there.The service was incredibly friendly, and their pizza was delicious. If you are a ranch + pizza person, I highly recommend their ranch which they make in-house.Kid-friendliness: The restaurant is family-friendly! If you enter through the bar side, you can easily walk through to the dining side.”

“Good litte stop through. Grab some bar food. Couple beers. Friendly bartender and regulars. Pool table, darts, and gaming. Who doesn't love a little dive bar with good food!”
“Food: went there for the biscuits and gravy. A friend told me that they were the best in the county and they were not wrong, they were fluffy biscuits with homemade sausage, gravy, and very very, very delicious. I added two over medium eggs on top and then mixed it all up and ate it and it was without a doubt the best I've ever had. Service: wonderful funny ladies serving that morning. If you are super sensitive, please bring your sense of humor with you. This is in a small farming, community where anything goes. Ambiance: clean, fun place in a small country town. I loved this place Overall: A+++”

“Been here many times. The food has always been great. Servers were very attentive. Had to chuckle when the song "I like big butts" came on in a Chinese restaurant. But i guess that could be considered oldies now.”

“Nice little place to grab a quick bite to eat. Place is small- only about 10 tables in the whole place. Kids meals are $11, but are a healthy size and come with a drink and vanilla ice cream. Food came out quick. I would come back again.”

“Mashed potatoes and gravy were kind of good except they microwave the Styrofoam so you get that chemical taste in the food. Plus the potatoes were instant. I was hungry and so I ended up dipping the fries in the gravy. The mashed potatoes I had to throw away. The grilled cheese was dry and the bread was pretty firm But that may have been my fault, asking for light butter”
“Was very surprised how nice the inside of this place was! Super cozy, clean bar to grab a beer and throw a couple $20s into the machine. This place is cash only, though, so that's the only downfall.”
“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”
