“Very good food and a great atmosphere“

“Great service. Food was delicious and the presentation was amazing. Waitress was very polite. Had the Slammer and a blueberry, strawberry, banana crepe. Will be back.“

“We were looking for a relaxed dinner spot when we found Big Dave and Holly's. Our food was delicious and the lady working the front was nice. My husband ordered a Root Beer float to go at the end of dinner, when she found out we were at a hotel in town for the Eagle Fest, she even included a cup with extra Root Beer. ❤️“

“Excellent atmosphere and amazingly prepared food! My husband and I visited here last night, and we both were raving about the food. The salads were fresh and super tasty. The pecan crusted salmon with blueberries was unlike anything we’ve had but in the very best way. Pleasant atmosphere for good conversations and kind staff. We’ll be back often! Great job everyone!“

“Good food, well prepared. Friendly atmosphere and waitstaff.“

“Just had a wonderful dinner at Tuggers. My husband had the meatloaf, and I had the rice bowl with seared tuna…fabulous and plenty to bring some home for lunch tomorrow. The vanilla crème brûlée old fashioned and warm apple dumpling cocktails were delicious. Our son had a burger and fries and had room for the fried cookie dough, or thought he did. He revived 3 large pieces along with a glass of milk (nice touch!). The service was fantastic, and our meal arrived quickly. Would highly recommend!“

“Food was amazing. Great & friendly staff. We were in and out in about 30-40 minutes and they were super busy but we got a table right away. Prices are great for the servings you get. Will definitely be coming back now that I know their family friendly (first time at this place so wasn't sure what to expect)“

“I don’t just review restaurants for no reason. Culver’s is Culver’s in terms of food, but the employees here are exceptional. They are friendly, accommodating and go out of there way to make dining here a good experience. I’m not from the area but ate here twice in the last few days and was blown away by how great the staff was. Kudos to this location, they’ve got it figured out.“

“I miss working there. all the customers, and the fun just working with Mickey, Bill, and, my love to hate and love to just be near kelly“

“Grew up eating porkies. Glad to see their food and prices still beat others. Home cooked food and great prices. 3 dinners cost me $23. Anywhere else I go the least I pay for 3 dinners is $40. Do not sleep on porkies! Breakfast and dinner, both are good and never disappoint.“

“Monday taco baskets Tuesday $5.50 Cheeseburger baskets Wednesday Duey Rites & Music Bingo from 7-9pm! Thursday is Chef's surprise!! 🤷 Friday is Catfish Fry---EVERY Friday from 4-9pm Saturday tacos Sunday $12 Fried Chicken Buckets ALL DAY!!! (8PCS & FRIES FOR 2 PEOPLE)“

“The service is always friendly and quick to get a drink with a good selection of draft beer. The food is great. I would say it’s made with love even the side salads.“

“I try to never give 5 stars because someone once told me that if you were to give top ratings to everyone and everything then noone would ever try to improve. And in my humble opinion, you should always strive and there's always room for improvement! They nailed the atmosphere tho! Not the run of the mill antique overload restaurant but very nicely blending industrial modern decor keeping it simple but classy. Very Midwest!“

“Great butter burgers, fries, and hot sandwiches. The frozen custard is delicious and freshly made with your choice of mixins to make yummy concretes. Order at the counter & your food is delivered to your table, or use drive-in or pickup.“

“Awesome staff. Very reasonable prices. Great food“

“Best bar on the Illinois side“

“Awesome spot if you're looking for a delicious breakfast or lunch. Chicken and waffles and mango habanero chicken sandwich were both delicious. Prices were reasonable. Restaurant and restroom were super clean. Surprised they weren't busier than they were. We will definitely be back!“

“First time in. Great burger. Bun toasted just right.“

“We visited for lunch today. Decorated so pretty and festive. Had the special called The Snowman. Loved it. So clever. So cute. Perfect. Plus tasted great.“

“Stopped in after a long night at band practice. We all just wanted to quick grab a drink and some grub before heading off to our homes. Got some amazing wings, burgers, a hot roast beef sandwich and French dip. Food and service was spot on. Our quick stop kept us there for about 2 hours enjoying our food and the hospitality of our servers. Definitely going to start making Vally Inn a regular stop.“

“Usually Village Inn has always been our first choice for the perfect breakfast. The last few times have been different for us. The hash browns were the best, always a golden brown and crispy. Now they are barely cooked all the way through. A friend told me you have to ask for them to be cooked extra crispy so I did, they were over cooked then. The pancakes we had today were so thick and dry, just not like they use to be. I am not sure if it’s the cook or what has happened. Please go back to being consistently great!!“

“I am a long time customer. My wife and I went every Wednesday and Saturday as long as she lived. Now I go 4-5 times a week. Tonight I had Hailey as my bartender (I usually sit at the bar) and she never disappoints. She is a very hard worker, and always attentive to customers needs. Super friendly. chatting as she works. I always drink cabernet, and my first one shows up as soon as I sit, from whoever sees me sit. There are so many wonderful people working there, I could throw names for a half hour. Another perk of Applebee's bar is the customers. I have many Apple buddies just from meeting people at the bar. It is a social center.“
