“We took a break in this adorable small-town Harley Davidson bar! The service and food were amazing. It was also shockingly clean! I had a delicious Catfish dinner! They even have a salad bar to go with your meal. This was a satisfying relief after traveling for 12 hours!“

“As we all know, Rip’s chicken is clearly the BEST. Have you ever thought about ordering Rips as a catering service? Not only was the service great, but the food was amazing. My wedding guests raved about it for weeks. We still hear about how much they loved the food. They make the best homemade Pasta and the chicken, as always was so good. They offered so many different sides to choose from and everything turned out perfectly. They had a nice setup and their girls kept the guest tables clean the entire time they were there. Seriously, by the end of the night I don’t think I saw one plate or empty cup on a single table! The owner works seamlessly with the venue and Rips staff to make sure your dinner services are top notch. I would 10/10 recommend Rip’s Tavern in general, but especially for an event. Thank you Rip’s for giving our guests a wonderful dinner experience!! 🐓🤍💍“

“Best homemade sandwiches in town. Fast service, great staff.“

“Please, please, please put the Korean Beef Bulgogi on your menu. My husband had it Wednesday night and it was out of this world delicious!! I kept stealing bites from his dinner. The meat was so tender and the flavor was so unique. This dish won’t be found anywhere else in the Illinois Valley area. My dinner was also delicious. Our service was great and we really enjoyed our time in your restaurant. Did I mention how much we loved the Korean Beef Bulgogi? 😂🤤🤤“

“Went to C612 last night for the first time. I don’t think I’ve had better whitefish anywhere. It was fresh and cooked to perfection. I thought the prices were a little high until I saw the portion sizes. Easily 2-3 meals out of an entree. Great atmosphere. I’m surprised it took me this long to try it. I highly recommend and we will be back!“

“please you have to get to maples and have their delicious food waitress are super nice very clean inside food is outstanding my wife and I love their food“

“Best place we stayed between Chicago and Grafton, IL! We were stuck at Starved Rock lock for around 5 hours. We didn't get through until after dark (9:30-ish). I called and amazingly enough a guy named Chuck answered the phone! He said our boat was a little big for anything they had available but he could put us at their fuel dock for the night. He waited until we got there around 11pm, helped us get tied up then invited us to the bar for drinks and even opened the kitchen and made us supper! Seriously the best place we stayed. Fun, clean, not pretentious, extremely accommodating, and super reasonable prices! Thank you South Shore Boat Club - and Chuck - for your help and amazing hospitality!!“

“I give the Paramont a five star, their corn, beef and cabbage tonight for Saint Paddy’s day is beyond expectations. Couldn’t stop eating it even when I was full it was worth the money.“

“The chicken is fantastic! Super friendly staff as well! We will definitely be ordering in the future!“

“Best of the best service from Christy 👌“

“I normally love Culvers. It is the only fast food I eat. Today it was horrible. Fries were not fried properly. They were a gooey mess. My burger was not cooked in the middle. Threw it out and their food is not inexpensive. Waste of money and I'm still hungry. I will go back and if it isn't back to normal that will be my last time. Too bad. We have had a good relationship for many years.“

“Hands down one of the most delicious meals my husband and I have had. I had the Chicken Marsala, which our server recommended, and my husband had the meatloaf. Both dishes were incredible! Then we shared the Irish cream cheesecake for dessert, and it was to die for. Service and atmosphere were great, too. The next time we visit Peoria, we'll be back for another meal!“

“This is my Husband's and Mines second time at Jorge's and we highly recommend this place! We ordered their chicken and skirt steak fajitas each time! They are probably one if the best fajitas meals we ever had, no joke, hands down! The meat is so moist and rhe vegetables so fresh and vibrant! Please try this place out! You won't be disappointed!“

“My boyfriend and I eat here whenever we're in the area! I love the Anaheim, and he always gets the Cleveland!
Fries are always crispy, and the cheese lacks the cheap nacho cheese taste, meaning it's amazing.
The small seating is rarely an issue. Please eat here. They deserve the business! Fantastic dogs at fantastic prices.“

“Amazing service and amazing food!“

“Had dinner here 2 nights in a row due to work. Food was really good. The wings were excellent! Some of the best I've ever had. The Ruben was good. Just know that they chop the meat, then toss it in the sauce. So the texture is different from a typical sliced beef ruben. But the flavors are there. Fries are crispy. Excellent beer prices. Service is fast and friendly. Atmosphere is nice. Its a typical sports/outdoorsman type bar with alot of animal and fish mounts on the walls. Plenty of TVs for watching your sporting event of choice. Large wrap around bar and a center fire place adds a cool touch. Bathrooms are clean and well lit. I'd definitely stop here again for lunch or dinner.“

“The Study is wonderful wheather you are just looking for some apps and drinks or a full meal. perfect date night location with and wonderful atmosphere!“

“Thank you so much for catering our Christmas gathering. The meats were great, the pastas were excellent and the price was fantastic! The kids are already asking when we can do this again!“

“Dont know what happened tonight. Ordered an old drink thats not on the menu but ive always got it, even thru last month. Ordered another drink and waited over 30 min. Sent mushrooms back because they were burnt, literally stuck to the dish. Heard kitchen staff holler "for real" lol. Ended up walking out after 40 minutes still no drinks. Biscuits finally came out after 25min. Manager and kitchen staff need some retraining. She didnt even come talk to us. Normally great. idk what they were doin tonight. BTW there was maybe 3 other tables. Hopefully management and kitchen staff get it together.“

“We had Mickeys bring their food truck to our wedding and everyone LOVED it! They offered a wide variety of food and had plenty for all. The food was so delicious especially the Annie’s Tacos! We highly recommend!“

“Best of the best service from Christy 👌“

“This place was great I'm on vacation from Chicago area n this place knocks out many of the places around chicago flavor wow service food the best i got the steak mexicano still leaking my fingers so good keep up the delicious food gracias“

“Extra Crispy Sweet Chile Lime wings were awesome!“

“Seated quickly. Restaurant was fairly quiet and clean. Staff was very efficient and friendly. Food was hot and fresh but portions seemed smaller than what I remember and my chicken and waffle fries were chared to the bottom on the skillet which gave the meal a slight burnt flavor. Girlfriend has always ordered chicken and broccoli Alfredo but our waitress says the company removed broccoli from their menus which seems a bit odd so she settled for the chicken Alfredo which was OK. The manager at this location is always very friendly and occasionally walks around checking on customers which is great. Overall our experiences here have been fairly good and we would return .“

“Great and fast service . Very friendly good food and shakes are amazing“
