Wandering through Illinois and found this gem. It was 1 p.m., but they offered a brunch like a buffet with breakfast, salad bar, and lunch items. We opted for the menu of gyro skillet, buckle buster burger, and avocado omelet. Everything was delicious, but the real star was our server, Cassidy. She had a difficult table next to us, but she handled it like a pro. The only downfall was the bathrooms. They need a clean and some TLC.

Fantastic meal. The recommendation was fantastic. Won’t disappoint. Big portions and everything is fresh and homemade. Wish I lived closer. We’re traveling from Minnesota The waitress was friendly and helpful in menu suggestions.

This is our favorite breakfast place in the area; we come here everytime we stay at the Grand Bear. We are especially pleased with the service given us by Shelly. She is exceptionally friendly and attentive. The breakfast food is very good.

First off it’s extremely COLD inside. It was hard to enjoy my meal. The food was good. But only a refill for the drink was offered after I was done eating & the check being placed on the table.

Wow! Fresh cooked food with more than I could eat and a very reasonable price. Dinners come with choice of soup or salad, choice of potato, vegetable of the day and a scoop of ice cream. Did I say that I was full before I finished my meal? Well I was! The food was very good and we would for sure come back again.

The locals might be crazy about it but I found the food to be just a little better than gas station Cafe quality. The chicken/ shells and clamps chowder soups both lacked seasoning and meat. The hot ham and cheese was oil rather than buttered which would greatly add to the flavor

Had the special- a fried pork chop, mash potatoes with brown gravy. Came with salad and green beans. It was incredible. In Germany it would’ve been schnitzel and this was better than most schnitzels I’ve had. Great friendly service to top it off.
I gave it a three because on a breakfast that had hash browns, eggs and sausage patties. The hash downs and onions were a little over done. The eggs ordered over easy were so hard they could bounce off the pavement and the sausage patties were overdone and dry. They corrected the eggs. The bright spot is the staff is very nice and personable. It is a little pricey for the food though.

I just recommended this place to my family. Everyone love what we've all ordered and it is very satisfying. And also, it is pet friendly as well! I definitely suggest this place to anyone, whether you're local or traveling to find some place to eat.

Nice place, staff was excellent. Ordered a pork tenderloin, fries and a one trip salad bar. Tenderloin was good, really thin but tasted good, fries where good too.I wish I could only ding them a half a star. The salad bar was pretty limited in toppings, the salad in the bowl was starting to show some age. It was mostly the white part, like it has been picked through.

The best place to get a pork tenderloin. You can share it with 3 people. It's so big. Good home cooked meals all fresh food nothing frozen. The staff is very nice. We eat here every time we come to Illinois
