Restaurants near Gridley

“Such a DELIGHTFUL, YUMMY, CLEAN, small town escape to enjoy. Not your typical rural restaurant. We have tried several items on the menu and have never been disappointed. Well worth the drive to Gridley!”

“Stu and Sherry were awesome hosts!!!! Food was awesome we had the Chicken Parmesan sandwich and the wings!!!!! Make sure to purchase some cool tshirts!!! We will return!!!!”

“Always good food. Love the spaghetti and meatballs, great breakfasts too.”

“Only had coffee and a gluten free snack but we wish every stop had an option this good!”

“Absolutely amazing ice cream!! The service and prices are top notch as well! So thankful to have such an amazing business in our little town.”

“We stopped in for a late lunch and it was terrific! My husband and I split the tenderloin lunch that was one of today's specials and we got an order of tots with it. Knowing we were splitting it they delivered with everything divided on 2 plates, how nice. Tenderloin was perfectly cooked and the breading was crunchy awesomeness. Tots were crispy and delicious. Serving sizes are huge, service very good and the staff are friendly. The daily specials change daily and are always very good.”

“They really know how to treat a family. We really enjoyed our lunch at The Shake Shack last Wednesday. My wife & Madre & I were all in town visiting from Puebla City, Mexico. This was my first time back in Illinois since 2016. We were treated like family and extend our gratitude to all of the staff and owners!”

“Excellent menu of lattes and treats! The staff is friendly and the puppy, Larry, is even friendlier.🐾”

“Excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent atmosphere. Highly recommend.”

“Finally tried the Metamora location. Would say a 4/5. Always a personal taste preference. I love the Mexican restaurant by Thorntons and I do not like Blue Margaritas- so this one I did like! It’s more like the one I enjoy taste wise! Only two things was salsa a little more tomato taste and no spice - and they used yellow shredded cheese instead of white on the quesadilla?! Maybe that’s normal or maybe was out of white? Just would prefer white! Overall very good and friendly! Will go again! (Prices were a tad different from menu to receipt- for example said 11.99 for quesadilla fajita and receipt was 13.59.) not sure? Definitely try it out!”

“Wings were delicious!!!! Worth the drive over!!! You don't find $1 wings very often!!!!”

“A few of us stopped in for a drink after attending our 50th class reunion.
We didn't eat, just had drinks.
The 2 ladies behind the bar were extremely friendly and provided great service.”

“Enjoyed a delightful tea for Mother's Day. Was very pleased to have a variety of teas to select from for hot tea. They offered the Bigelow brand of tea with a selection of classics and seasonal selections. The small appetizers to start the tea experience were beautifully presented and scrumptious. The soup course was a tasty generous portion. The main course was a sandwich and pasta salad of our choice, again, a generous portion of both. The dessert was homemade bread pudding accompanied with our own personal gravy boat of sweet sauce to use as we desired. The final guilty pleasure was two homemade after dinner mints in the shapes of a rose, mint flavor, and leaf, buttercream flavor. Cannot wait until they are fully open for business!!!”

“Love this bar... Good prices on drinks and bartenders are super cool... The blonde headed one is super cool... I don't remember her name and honestly she probably doesn't remember mine... But she had a great attitude and gives great service. She hooked up with some Carmel Apple jello shots around Halloween... They were awesome! Would totally recommend this bar... You just need to like or appreciate country music... It plays in this bar”

“Dat bar is an old school drive bar. There isnt a big menu for food, there arent 30 beers on tap. It's easy to find a table, and if you're hungry, you can get a classic bar pizza. As long as you approach this bar for what it actually is, you can have a great time here. They have darts, pool, and checkers. Peanuts in the shell are free, just toss the shells on the ground. Folks are reserved, but friendly. Dont expect the newest spiced illinois spiced new England spiced ipa. They dont have it. But if you actually want to hear your friends, this is the place. It's wonderful, but it's not a hip biergarten, it's a small town bar, and be prepared for that. So long as you accept that, and the cheap beer that comes with it, you can have a fun time. Shoot some pool, drink some Busch, and have a pizza. It's worth it.”

“I just stopped in to get some of their own chicken salad. None was in the case but the very nice guy behind the deli fixed me up. He was very pleasant and friendly. I’m picky about my chicken salad and it’s the best! Also grabbed some organic corn in the can. Won’t buy the GMO stuff. Glad you carry that.”

“They’ve got some of/if not the best deep dish pizza south of I-80. Their thin crust is good too, bout as good as thin crusts get. Pretty much everything on the menu is good, not just the pizza, I just really enjoy their pizzas but have never had a bad meal there and we eat there fairly often. The desserts are good when they aren’t sold out, they go pretty quickly. And they do have bar area, and i believe serve alcohol, but I can’t swear to that, haven’t drank in 12 years.”

“The cook/cashier/manager was very friendly nice this is my third visit each time I get the same courtesy I will Recommend this checkers to my friends and family the burgers and wings and the sweet creamer. Slushy are superb. Love this place.👍🏽”

“This is my new favorite restaurant! The service was fast, the food was delicious (the best Shrimp Po' Boy and Sweet Potato Fries I've ever had!), and the atmosphere was wonderful. The patio area had a mural, pond, and palm trees, and it felt like we were on vacation. Can't wait to go back!”

“There was only one employee there. She was very nice but seemed a bit stressed being the only employee. I hope the management helps remedy it a bit so their employees feel supported. The sandwiches were delicious and we appreciate her help and great service.

Parking: Easy access off expressway. Plenty of parking.”
