“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!“

“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!!“

“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“

“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.“

“"You can't go wrong with the special" wise quote from my grandparent. It's served... Me well over the years. This place has great lunch and dinner specials as well as drink specials. They offer a full bar, plenty of variety on the menu and friendly service. Convenient location. Plenty of parking. Good prices.“

“The treat my daughter like she’s family she even got an Easter basket“

“I have been to Wahlburgers twice now and both times the food was EXCELLENT. Today, however, takes the cake. When I arrived and looked for what I wanted on the menu it wasn't there. I spoke with Ben behind the counter and he told me that specific item had been removed from the menu. I was visibly disappointed so he told me he would make it up for me! He said he may not have the exact dressing but he could pull something together. I was so excited and incredibly thankful because he did NOT have to do that. He went above and beyond and I thanked him again and again. The food was fresh, everything tasted delicious and I will definitely go back again!

Vegetarian options: My salad was a street corn salad. It included romaine lettuce, chopped up red and green pepper, parmesan cheese and shredded cheddar cheese with a delicious dressing.“

“Best Prime Rib in the Illinois Valley! Dare I say the best prime rib I’ve ever had? Highly recommend, but definitely make a reservation.“

“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!“

“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!“

“First time here 8/1/25! Great atmosphere! Great food! And the staff was awesome! I’ll definitely be back.“

“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!! 🐓🤍💍“

“It has a nice outdoor patio, our waitress was really nice and the food was very good.“

“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.“

“By far one of the BEST, IHOP's aka U-JUMPS, (because I personally do not like to HOP, therefore U-Jump). Sounds better in person..Anywho, The food was literally still steaming when it arrived. This particular IHOP has regained my faith local breakfast chains. For once, the food actually WAS worth the price.
Our server, I think her name was Kelly. Anyway she was absolutely perfect!!.“

“Extra Crispy Sweet Chile Lime wings were awesome!“

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

He also was very pleasant to talk to! We received 5+ star service!! Our Food and drink were fantastic. If we are ever back in the area we would stop again. Thank you Brian for making it an enjoyable evening for us.“
