Restaurants in Princeton

“If you are in the Princeton area and enjoy bourbon/whiskey, this is the place to go. Amazing selection of bourbon and the cocktails are so delicious. Bonus.... they are pet friendly!! Nick is awesome and let us celebrate our fur baby, Steve's 14th birthday at their place! Can't wait to visit again soon!!”

“Great Food! Thanks for Lunch today♡”

“Passing through Princeton on the way home to Naperville, we stopped at Monical's for pizza today. It was the first time we've been to this restaurant. I didn't realize it's a chain restaurant mainly in central Illinois. Walking into the restaurant there's an area where you order and pay for your food at a small counter. They give you a number and you go into the restaurant and choose your own seat. A staff member will bring you your order. My husband and I each ordered a small side salad, which was cold and fresh. It had cheddar cheese, tomatoes and carrots on top. My husband and I each ordered pizzas. He had a larger thin crust sausage pizza and I made my own small veggie pizza with spinach, mushrooms, and black olives. We ordered our pizzas to be cooked crispy. I like that they had a chart to show you the different levels of doneness on their crusts. The crust was cooked perfectly crispy when it was delivered to our table, just like in the photo. It was piping hot when it came to the table which I loved. I was so surprised how good this pizza was. I can honestly say this is the best thin crust pizza I've ever had. Tammy took care of us by bringing our food and drinks to our table and checking on us. She was very friendly and engaging. It was a pleasure to have her wait on us. I could tell she liked what she did and that she really cared that her customers had a good experience. She's a definite asset to this restaurant. I'd definitely go back if I was ever in the area again just to have this thin crust pizza. I recommend stopping at this restaurant and giving their pizza a try. You won't be sorry.”

“Posted on Chicago Area microbreweries - Facebook page: Not quite Chicago area, but Princeton, Illinois . . . I was pleased to find Coal Creek Brewery had opened in the "2nd downtown" since I was last here. Located in a narrow, but long space - like a shotgun house - it was a nicely laid out place to have a beer. With 12 beers on tap, this small brewing operation had a varied selection of beers instead of 6 out of 12 being only IPAs! I tried the Kolsch and Milk stout because [instead of] . . . my usual preference of having a flight when checking out a new brewery . . . I spoke with the bartender/part owner and learned they learned their craft working in Florida before returning to her . . . husband's hometown. Coal Creek has only been open for two years now, but it is well worth a stop. Check it out.”

“Nice biker friendly bar. Cold beer!!!”

“We had the best experience at the Princeton location today. While waiting for our food, it was taking longer than normal, the worker came out and gifted us ice cream for our patience. Food was great, service was spectacular. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼”

“SO GOOD! Don’t miss out! Pad Thai is a must!!!”

“In town for the day and stopped for lunch. Everything was great. Fresh and delicious. Brussel Sprouts were to die for!!”

“The flight! what a genius idea. why choose only one when you can have 4 flavors!It was amazing. The raspberry ripple and Bad blood were my faves.”

“Tried Paisano’s for the 1st time tonight and weren’t disappointed! We had a great waitress/service, that’s hard to find anymore! Elote pizza was tasty, chicken strips were HUGE and the garlic nuggets were out of this world! We will be back!”

“Moved here from California 16 years ago. Everybody knows my name.I am vegan they let me order off the menu to accommodate whatever food choice I need often they add a extra item for free ..I am currently going through cancer treatment. They treat me like Family...”

“Love this bar, very friendly owners and bartenders. Fun place to go!!”

“had the ribeye, cooked myself, med rare, tender, salad bar was great!”

“Holy sh*t this place is a good time. Drinks are reasonably priced, Zach is a great bartender and the regulars were very welcoming to the new guy from Cincinnati. This is my new home bar.”

“This restaurant is a gem! Super cute interior. Menu is very diverse and has great options for everyone! The Spoons Cuban was delightful! My husband got the birria melt which he really enjoyed. Fries were fresh and well seasoned. Next time we are in town will visit again.”

“Great Staff, Information and Computers.🇱🇷🌟👍”

“We finally stopped at Ye Olde Underground Inn and their special that night was Gumbo and OMG it was delicious! I just need a notification when they have so I can go on those nights for sure.”

“I am always greeted with happy faces every time I go! Simply Nutrition has so many options for teas/smoothies/snacks! I adore how they support all the local other small business too!”

“The best restaurant in the area. Food is delicious and staff is amazing! Highly recommended!”

“food is great. I recommend getting it to go though. their wait staff the last couple years hasn't been friendly and will make you wait forever. and the last few times I had their margaritas it tasted like someone spilled a container of salt in the mix. but I have never been disappointed with the food other than the French fries my daughter wanted always have to send back cause they are cold”

“Really good gas station pizza! Employee was so nice and friendly. Crust is thick, with a slightly sweet sauce. Generous slices with flavorful and real ingredients.”

“Hadn't had Godfather's in over 30 years and when I walked in the smell of the food brought back memories of eating the pizza as a kid. Everything i remembered it to be.”

“Super clean! Super friendly! Definitely a place to host live music, highly suggest they do more of that, almost 25yrs ago they did and it was packed and dancy! Way better shape than I remember! It’s truly a little goldmine! Kudos! Definitely will visit again!”

“I really enjoyed the meal. Simple eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast, and coffee for $10.24 after tax.
That's a deal! It is cash/check only so be aware before you enter. They do have an ATM on the premises.”

“The best DQ that I have ever been too. I absolutely love their buffalo chicken snack wraps and moolattes. Quality food and ice cream with awesome owners. Locally, family owned place that truly cares about the food and service they provide.”

“I brought my girlfriends from the Chicago area here and they absolutely loved the delicious food and homemade sides! Thank you! Everything was delicious!!! Such a friendly atmosphere too!”

“Mostly good experiences here. Love the smoothies but gosh they are expensive. Staff are friendly. Last time though I got the Grandma latte and it's supposed to be hazelnut flavor and definitely didn't have a drop of hazelnut syrup in it. So maybe taste your drink before driving away just to be safe.”

“Place has a good vibe, friendly staff and the Italian beef flatbread is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ definitely coming back here”

“Best pizza in area by far!”

“Thanks to an amazing staff and management. You have renewed my faith in humanity. Less than a week ago we were passing through on our way home from Colorado to Indiana. I left my wallet with cash, air pods, and our vaccination cards and didn’t miss it until the next day when I was home. I called and was told they had it and the manager would mail it to me! The next day I received a text with the tracking information and today I received the wallet with everything including the money! They didn’t even take cash out for the cost of postage! I will be donating the cash to a local charity. I’ve always been a fan of Jimmy John’s but this brings it to a whole new level. I don’t think I’ll eat at another fast food restaurant if there is a Jimmy John’s nearby. Thanks to all the good people in this world!”
