“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.“

“Went to dinner at Uptown last week with a couple of friends, and everything was great as always! The restaurant was pretty busy for a Tuesday night, but we were seated right away without a reservation. Our server, Tracy H, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Uptown is definitely one of the best restaurants in the Illinois Valley. The food is always consistent, and the service is excellent no matter how busy they are. Whether you're visiting or new to the area, Uptown is a must-try. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Today I ordered the hot beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy and broccoli. Honestly, it was the best hot beef sandwich I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The beef was all-meat and very tender. Delicious!!“

“I had their lemonade, chicken bow tie soup, chicken strips, French fries. EXCELLENT!! Lemonade was tangy with just enough sweet. Soup was flavorful. Chicken strips were tempura battered - meaty, delicious & crispy! Waitress was friendly & helpful. Reasonable price! It was a very good lunch!! We will be back!! Thank you Gold Mine!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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.“

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!“

“Love this place. It’s a lil lunch time shop at this location. Ofcorse you’ve got to get the Chicago dog but a lot of people like the Nashville Louisville and Memphis dog. Expect to spend about $12 for 2 dogs fries and a drink (can vary) but it’s well worth the spend with fast service time good food and an easy in and out atmosphere.“

“Amazing service and amazing food!“

“friendly neighborhood bar with good food👍🏻“

“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.“

“Food was yummy, decent wait time, very nice staff (Jade) who made sure they had gluten free hamburger buns. -1star because minor order mixups: they switched the fries on a plate and did not designate the cook temp on burgers despite requesting. But overall good!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“Kick ass on everything! Food! Great app on fried mushrooms/cauliflower.
Walleye great! And I'm particular the BlackBerry old fashioned was delish!

Jason was great. Very conversational, outgoing and knowledgeable about the food!

Our waitress was great.

Stop in say hello and have a drink and a meal!“

“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.“

“Arrived around two o’clock on a Monday afternoon. It was a warm and beautiful fall day so we chose to sit outside. It was busier than normal for a Monday, but we weren’t in a hurry anyway. The wait staff worked hard. I ordered the breaded pork tenderloin. My wife ordered the chicken strips. Each entree came with fries. Mine came with lettuce, onion, tomato slice, and pickles. Unfortunately, there were so many french fries that most of the onion, the slice of tomato, and the pickles were all buried, as you can see in the photo. I didn’t even realize they were there until I had eaten some of the fries. The fries were kind of bland, there was no seasoning on them at all. The breaded pork tenderloin was delicious and quite large. The chicken tenders entree was more than enough for my wife, so we brought it home along with half of the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. Bottom line, I would eat there again, but I only gave it four stars because the french fries covered up the toppings for my sandwich. Attention to detail people!“

“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“

Thank you Brian for making it an enjoyable evening for us.“
