my family and i went to eat dinner, we got there maybe around 6:45 - 7, the sign on the door says that they close at 10:00 pm. i’ll start by saying that our waitress was nice, but seemed very flustered and confused the entire time. our drinks took forever to come out, 3 of us got the salad bar, there were no forks at the salad bar, we had to ask 3 different times for silverware before we finally got it brought to our table, after sitting with our plates for maybe 10-15 minutes. our food took forever to come out (there was only 3 other tables inside). when our food came out, one of us was missing our side and we nicely asked for those. she came back to check on us right at 8:00 (dinner wasn’t even completely out there yet) and asked if she could get us anything else, we asked for two more drinks and were told that the bar/restaurant closed at 8 (we were still eating and had NO IDEA they closed at 8, didn’t get a last call or notified in any way that they closed at 8 until then), at this point another waitress comes over to tell us again that they wouldn’t be serving us any more drinks. then, they bring the rest of the food out IN A TO GO BOX. we clearly weren’t even done eating yet. then (we assume it was the manager) comes over and was immediately extremely disrespectful to us, rolling her eyes and telling us that the bar across the street is open and we can go over there. this was the worst customer service experience i’ve ever had, 0/10 will not be coming back.

We came back last night because the country fried steak is back. This is a good plate to order, it’s always been good. We were seated promptly, waitress took our drink orders. Got our drinks, I normally order a pain killer because they’ve always been pretty good, last night I am certain there was gin in it and not rum. Went to order appetizers and the smoky chicken rolls were not available. Ordered the Mac and cheese bites instead , they were good. However, our appetizer and our food came out at the same time. The salad bar comes with our meal, but the salad bar was bare, hardly any lettuce left. Our waitress, Kaylee came back once while we were eating to check on us. We waited awhile and our waitress did not return, went up front, didn’t see anyone, asked the lady at the bar about drinks, she handed me the beer my husband asked for and I ordered a dark and stormy and she said she would bring it to me. Went to my seat, waited longer, finally our waitress shows up, asked for boxes and a lid and told the waitress I was still waiting for my drink. She walks away, goes behind the bar, more time passes, nothing, went back up front no one there. See a drink sitting on the bar and was certain it was mine. Went back to my seat and waited longer. Go back to the front another waitress stops and asks me what she can do for me. I explained to her that our waitress had not returned, pretty sure my drink was sitting in the bar, never got our boxes. She says let me go find your waitress. Go back to my seat, our waitress appears, with an attitude, rudely says here’s your drink (which was the one sitting on the bar) and your boxes. Have a good night and walked off. This was the absolutely worst service I have ever received here. Please do better. We used to enjoy coming here, but it’s been going downhill for a bit now.

We were seated and waited almost 45 minutes and still no server. We left. Absolutely ridiculous! They weren't even busy so there was no excuse at all.

Went there to eat since we were in town. No one greeted us at the door stood there for 10 mins. Finally got a seat took 15 min for the lady to come order our drinks then another 10 mins before we got them. Then waited another 15 minutes before she came to get our order. The food was good. Was ready to leave couldn’t find anyone to pay for our meal or get a To go box. Remind u there were only two other tables beside us.

The outside patio was atmospheric and had great vibes. The Paxton Punch did, in fact, pack a punch and the food was tasty!

I ate the garlic herb wrap with a side of potato salad when I was traveling through. It was so good that it made me wish I lived around here - would eat here several times a week.

I had to live in Paxton for a week for a job. We ate here every night. It was so good we were passing within 50 mi of it yesterday so we diverted to stop and eat here again.
Stopped by for a fantastic dinner. Sandwich and sides were served quickly and were hot. Great server.

We've been coming to this location for years (when it was a previous restaurant) and have emotional ties from that period of time. The Paxton Punch drink option drew us back here over a year ago, and the food and service were initially very good. While the food remains tasty, there have been some recent inconsistencies with menu items not being available (past 3 visits, the Smokey Chicken Rolls were not available). Last night, my chicken tender dinner request was substituted as boneless chicken wings (the server stated that they couldn't serve the other item). The biggest issue right now seems to be staffing. Our past few visits, we've entered to an empty front counter with no hostess greeting us (eventually someone shows up). The staff is still friendly (a plus!) but there just needs to be some fine tuning with respect to full menu items being available and there should always be someone ready to greet and seat customers as they arrive. Servers are the heart of any business; their tone sets the mood and the possibilities of return customers. We will likely now take a break for a while and see if these aspects of the business improve. I hope so, because this place has so many things going for it!

Super cute local restaurant! We stopped on the drive back to Chicago from Urbana. Easy off the highway and great option for a sit-down lunch when you’re on the road! Highly recommend.

Well, we never ate there when we visited because after we were seated we have 4 wait staff walk slowly past us. Look at us, take 2 people to clear a table with 2 dishes on it and not once ask us a thing. No sign of anyone after we were initially seated so we waited about 10 min and got to and left and went down the road to Pueblo Lindo where they do know how to take care of their customers. The place was not busy at all. There were 2 tables with people eating and 1 table with people who also still had menus in their hands but had drinks dropped off at the table.
