Coming home from a sale and starving. Stopped,at Merna Tap for lunch. We were greeted when we came in. Only a minute after we sat down, when our waitress gave us a friendly hello and got our drink orders. Those arrived and we both ordered the cheeseburger special. They arrived soon after with fresh toppings, a garden red tomato and perfectly done burgers. Our waitress ( didn't get her name but was super nice) checked on us several times, checking our drinks and making sure we had everything we needed. It was sorta out of our way home to Towanda but definitely worth the drive to Merna Tap. Great food, reasonable prices and friendly folks!
Kid-friendliness: Although they have a bar, there is a slightly separate dining area. Several families with kids were enjoying their lunch while we were there.

A central Illinois landmark. Perfect place to watch a football game.
Both specials tonight (fried chicken & country fried steak )was really good!My kiddos really liked the chicken tenders too! All for a really decent price 😊
