“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Had one of the best Cheeseburgers I have ever had from here. Food was great service was great I. If you haven't been here you are missing out.”

“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.”

“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!!!!”

“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.”

“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”

“The pizza is delicious! We carry out about once a month from a 46 mile round trip and most of the time its worth it or we won't do it. But, on occassion we get there at the time told be, to find out our pizza isn't even in the oven yet. So, we get to wait another 20+ minutes. And after all that they don't offer a token reduction of our bill. It's happened enough times, decided it was time to review. To sum up....pizza is great, service needs improvement.”

“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.”

“Early dinner on a clear and breezy Saturday afternoon in the dining area out back. Pretzels and beer cheese, garlic parmesan wings, steak bomb salad and sandwich with tots. Great food and wonderful service. Couldn't get a better time.”

“Atmosphere is dirty. Service is OK with only 2 people working, but those gosh dang funnel cake fries, they cook them to delight! Can't really understand who is talking, but still an ok place to stop.”

“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.”
