They have good food & great chicken. Their bar was imported from Belgium & made out of mahogany. Pabst Blue Ribbon had it built & shipped here in 1893 for the World Fair in Chicago. Pabst moved the bar to Kewanee in 1898 & the man who owned the restaurant at that time purchased it. It's worth stopping in to get a bite to eat & see this beautiful piece of history.
The brisket sandwich is the best I've ever had, beyond excellent. Fries were super crispy and hot, perfectly cooked. Smash burger was delicious as well, according to my hubby. Friendly service, beautiful old bar back and quiet atmosphere, which is great at lunch. 10/10 would recommend and will return.
The food and service were fantastic but the real star is the 1898 backbar! Atmosphere oozing from everywhere. $1 PBRs and our server bent over backwards to make sure our visit was perfect!
