“Decided to go here since I was on a vacation with my 3 year old son and they had a kids menu. Selection was good and prices were solid. My son got grilled cheese with tater tots and I got the Brisket BBQ Burger and fires. Burger was cooked perfectly and fries where fine. We also got a desert (s'mores). Mariah was our server and she was great, very attentive.“

“My mom and I stopped in late on a Sunday night after driving 10 hours that day on our cross country road trip, they were extremely accommodating and we felt so welcome there. Jillian took great care of us and we also had the pleasure of talking to the manager and cook, everyone was so nice! Our food was amazing, especially the prime rib!! This is a hidden gem and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a bite to eat or even a quick drink because the old fashioned was also incredible. Thanks for a great night!“

“We had a friend recommend this place, so we decided to give it a try — and I’m glad we did! They were pretty busy when we walked in, but we still got a nice table by the window, which made for great people-watching. I ordered the Italian Beef — it was delicious but definitely more food than I could finish. The fries were perfectly crunchy and full of flavor. It’s the perfect place to grab a bite after hiking — hearty portions, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Reservations are required, but so is visiting Casa Mia if you're in the area! Superb drinks and delicious food with a homey and welcoming atmosphere. You truly feel a part of the family when dining. Thank you so much for the wonderful evening!

“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? 😂🤤🤤“

“Service and breakfast was perfect for our group of 20 this morning! Thank you for accommodating us!“

“My home away from home when I come up from Florida to visit my father. Always welcomed with a smile and hugs. The food is never disappointing? Love it there!“

“Food is amazing and so is the atmosphere!“

“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!“

“We are glad that you are open on Sundays!!!! Food was delicious, service was great, and your entertainment was outstanding ! An added plus was being able to watch the Cubs and the Bears!“

“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.“

“Meg is the best host. She has consistently been a great asset to our hiking community. We plan our trips for when she is bartending and serving. Thanks for her amazing service. We could go to any number of places to eat and drink after our hikes but we choose this one because of the great food and Megs service.“

“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.“

“We love The Study! The drinks and food are unparalleled!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food the grilled Chicken Sandwich was huge but tasted so good. thee bartender/ cook was so kind and attentive to everyone that was inside that place, did the job effortlessly. i ended up leaving my purse and I live about 30 minutes away. Called, they had closed but told me to come to the back door to retrieve it. I tried to tip them and they refused and just stated.This is a community place we watch out for each other. i highly recommend.“

“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“
