“Had a great lunch at Pagalo’s. We had a large group, service was great and the food was even better. Can’t beat the lunch special, choice of two items - individual pizza, soup or a salad for $10.99. We’ll be back and next time will save room for gelato. Well done, Pagalo’s!”

“I had an amazing experience at the Milan Hy-Vee Market Grille! I stopped in for dinner and ordered the jalapeño burger. It was absolutely fantastic. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. The food here is top-notch, and the half-price starters make it even better. If you enjoy a drink, they also have half-price beer weekdays from 3-6, which is a great deal. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the service was excellent. I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend!”

Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious tacos!”

“I haven’t been here in years. I looked online for family deals on Mondays, and I saw the family night on Monday night. So I checked the menu online, and found the Milan Happy Joes has a family special, for $25 and it comes with pizza and pop. Okay. So I call, and order ahead. I honestly think I could have clarified exactly what the special was, but in my defense, I thought I was ordering what the menu showed so it didn’t occur to me to verify. Plus, for years, it’s always been that. Hind sight is always 20/20.

When we arrived, she said drinks were not included, but what would we like. I’m stunned. She got our drinks. I was thinking about this, and my husband came back from the restroom and I let him know that actually the family special is evidently $27.99 and comes with breadsticks and cinnamon pizza. Drinks are not included. So my husband talked to a manager. To which the manager replied, well that’s a Google doc. Which. That is incorrect, Google was the search engine I used….. he also said well that’s Google and not happy joes. So I said okay, let me show you how I got here. So I went to happy joes, clicked deals, and it asked for participating locations. I clicked Illinois, then I clicked Milan. From there, I clicked menu. I screenshotted the menu, and the home page of my phone to show the date I was here, October 6, 2025. Technically I could sue happy joes for them not honoring their contract. However that’s silly and I’m not going to do that. BUT, the menu should reflect what they are selling, and it should reflect correctly.

So, once the manager realizes, that I wasn’t on a “Google docs” as he so put it, whatever that is……he told me he is not responsible for corporate and what they put on their menu. He also said that it’s a lot of food, and I can’t expect that price listed. (I didn’t realize what I was ordering, I thought the family special was JUST pizza and pop)

So. With all that said,

We had, a small pepperoni. A half nacho Joe, and half sausage. The special comes with a tiny cinnamon pizza, and a cheese bread with marinara sauce.

Not one single complaint with the food. Everything was hot, and fresh. I’ve actually never had the cheese bread, or the cinnamon bread, and I can see why they would be on the special, because they were soooo good and possibly the stars of the show. It SHOULD be reflected on the menu.

Would I come here again? I want to say yes, because it’s good, and nostalgic. I just have to pray about my attitude in regards to the conversation I had with the manager, because he made me feel as if I, was the problem.”

“Best TJ's we've been too. Very friendly staff. Very clean restaurant. You could tell they are very proud of it. They even had all the sauce packets face up so you could read them. Good fast fresh service. Will stop again when we come back too the area.”

“All you can eat catfish, with salad bar,and soup.fried perfect.jas some left overs took them on of the frig and baked them on a clay brownie sheet for 25 min at 435. Crisped fight up and was delicious.”

“I came on the RITE day. Their Wen special is 2 for $6.99. I got 4 with a Rootbeer and onion rings! I was living my teenage dream. I haven't had a Made-Rite in 30 years! I was visiting home, drove past the image on I280 and had to stop! It was so nostalgic

The loose meat burger was classic. It was a little dry but I didn't care. I was so giddy. The burgers were bigger than I thought. I like mine classic with mustard and pickles, no ketchup cause that's a Sloppy Joe but I got to excited and said put everything on it! I didn't care as i was in my zone. The onion rings were delicious. Light batter, even fry and their homemade ranch was chefs kiss. Washing it down with a Chicago Rootbeer it the spot. Definitely, nostalgic

Shay was so sweet. She got my food out promptly. The burger sat in the wrapper. I didn't know they were served that way. She made me laugh because I kept looking at the spoon she handed me. Untill ai realized it was for the Beef that spilled out. Its been a minute. I loved the classic dinner vibes. I sat at the counter because I wanted the full experience!”
