“Great place for kids! 🥰 the food is amazing, I 100% recommend the Santos Skillet.“

“I’ve been coming here when I would visit my family since before I moved to the area, and of course, I receive the same fantastic experience, now. That is about 19 years of satisfaction and a smile I have walking in the door. I have always been impressed with the friendliness and how accommodating the staff is, the dinners-delicious, and over all atmosphere- wonderful.“

“We arrived here yesterday for a “friends trip & luncheon” from Princeton. The owners & wait staff made this such a wonderful experience for us!! The food was outstanding & we cannot wait to return for more of your yummy Polish dishes. Thank you again!!“

“PSA to paddlers: They do have a canoe/kayak launch, but it doesn't look like it's been used in years and consists of very steep, narrow, rotting steps that are dicey to maneuver. We did manage to get a canoe and four kayaks down to launch there but I wouldn't recommend it. Probably better to launch from the bridge at Highway 52 (although I have no personal experience there).“

“My family had such a great experience having breakfast here. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was amazing. My husband and teenage son especially loved the All You Can Eat Biscuits & Gravy. We can't wait to come back again on our next vacation.“

“Just found the perfect place for chicken livers“

“This is our favorite breakfast place! Great hash browns, skillets, etc. Recently tried the potato pancakes! Amazing!!!“

“This is our favorite lunch-stop after a day on the range. They have fantastic pizza, wings and burgers. Some of the guys get the Ruben and love it. The wait-staff are fantastic. If we show up with 3 people or 20 they are always happy to see us and very accommodating. Our food is always made fresh and brought out super-fast and hot. If you go, tip them great because they are worth it.“

“I like the gyros 🥙 and the service is good“

“Breakfast Tacos! I come from Yorkville to have these! Owners are sooooo nice!“

“Always love going there and especially love the oyster days when they have them.“

“My family and I come to Last Chance very often. My husband and I went for our anniversary this last May because the bartenders, establishment and food have always been phenomenal. The girls who work there go above and beyond when my small kids are with us and we really do love spending time there. This last Thursday someone was working who I had not seen before.. and to say the least I thought she was very rude. I was almost embarrassed because we had friends in town and were so excited to show them our new favorite spot. She said she would not take our food order outside, we had to go in and get our own drinks, and when food came out I had to grab it from her as she made no effort to come down the ramp and set it down at our table. I’m not one to complain but I really wasn’t impressed with the bluntness and cold shoulder attitude. I think her name was Alexis. We will be back, as I really can’t say enough how great this place is. I really hope it was a fluke.“

“The young man with dark hair from Louisiana was one of the most kind people to us! He was so polite, smiled and offered a scoop of custard since we had to wait a little longer. We did not complain about the wait. He apologized and offered the custard. When we got our order he apologized again and sent us on our way with a smile and a have a great evening! Whatever kind of training this young man had should definitely be followed with every fast food chain! Or every restaurant in general! I hope he is waiting on us the next time we go!“

“A hidden gem that has the best burgers the best prices and the best hospitality around. Tuesdays are the go to day for us .Cheeseburger fries and a few frosted cold tap beer for around 10 bucks. Best kept secret around. The burgers are the real deal Not those froze patty’s you might find at your local grocery store. The fry’s are hot and crispy and the beer is super cold. What also sets this gem apart is the extremely friendly service we get from the waitress Dafina. She’s the bomb! Always greets you with a happy and friendly demeanor. She goes above n beyond the call of duty to assure you are well taken care of. Most times you will see the owners on sight too. Great people who have been doing this job for more years than I could count. Stop in and come hungry, I promise you will leave happy and full. And just maybe you might meet a new friend?“

“Super friendly. The food was decent, and the place was a meeting point for a lot of families. Kids were adorable running around with their friends. Parents were connecting with their neighbors. I will go again and hopefully soon!

Parking: Parking on both sides of the restaurant. We ate at 5 o'clock at the height of business. Lucky enough to find a parking spot as the place was packed“

“Peggy was our waitress. She is so friendly. Definitely will be back. This was our first time there. She is a very hard worker. I think she deserves a raise. We loved her!!“

“Stopped in tonight during dinner rush and had the best service! Friendly staff, order was spot on perfect and delicious as always!!! Best staff in town!“

“Great food and drinks will go there again“
