“Backwoods Diner took over after the owners of Happy Days Diner retired and continued to cook excellent meals. They have daily specials and still serve breakfast and lunch. In addition to their great food, the owner does custom baking, which is also awesome. If you are looking for a birthday cake or 3 dozen cookies, she's your lady. If you're looking for a cozy little diner off the beaten path, check out Backwoods Diner. You won't be disappointed.”

“The tacos were great; they just had everything well balanced; enough fat, enough seasoning, and a good price 3 fat taquitos for $5. They just need to add a small deck or wood pallets by the window so that you don’t drown with the puddle of water in a rainy day. There’s no tables here, you order to go.”

“I waited almost 2 hours for a pizza that was supposed to be delivered in 35-45 minutes. I called to complain. They said the pizza was done and it would be here within 15 minutes. I said fine and hung up as the cashier said goodbye. Waited another 25 minutes and called back. I was given to the manager that said my order was canceled. I was livid! I heard a lot of excuses, but not once did I hear we are sorry or we'll make it right. The manager said something about having a "15 year old" answering the phone, "skeleton crew" and said to call the Paxton Manager "he's there." I called.... no one answered. Blessing in disguise since they are more expensive than Monical's and have ZERO customer service. I will NEVER order again from this place. Sad, but this is one local place that I refuse to support.”

“2 waitresses working hard with pleasant attitudes to deliver a lumberjack sized meal that can satisfy all of your angry beasts inside. Great flavor on everything we got. If u leave hungry that your faultAnd I had dinner but he had breakfast as it is served all day”

“I uploaded pictures of their new menu unfortunately both items we wanted off the menu we found are no longer an option at Franci's pizza in Onarga, IL. I had the Italian beef, and it was not bad. It definitely was no portillo's, but for Onarga definitely not bad. My wife had the veggie pizza, and she said it was good. I ate a piece and it wasn't bad, but for the price I would do Monicals instead. We were in town visiting family, and they absolutely love the deep dish pizza here, so maybe that's where the gem is at. Overall this place is worth giving a shot for sure especially if you live in Onarga.”

“Great food, great service. Gloria was my waitress. Absolutely the best service. Food was pretty darn good too. Music was nice and the place was clean and festive with a touch of home.”

“First time eating here. I will go back but I hope they have their act together a lot better. Very large table come in and sit down directly after I got there they already had their pizzas ready waiting to go and putting them on the table as for me and the other six customers that come in before them we were put on the back burner. I understand they make a big tip off of them but I still have my waitress $8 and I had to put up with the worst service that I could have asked for for the first time. Food was really good though that is the only reason I would go back. As far as the manager goes she did not address the issue she did not even want to talk about it when I brought it up at the cash register poor management is what is going to ruin today's society.”

“There are plenty of options for fast food places in town. But SUBWAY is my 1st choice ALWAYS! Place is kept clean, menu offers delicious food options at good prices. Employees are wonderful,always greeted with a smile,sandwiches are made as ordered! 1 employee JOSE A ?? whom I've watched prep sandwiches is SUPER QUICK, QUIET, BUT A HARD WORKER!!”

“My husband and I stopped at the McDonald's in Gilman, Illinois, on our trip to Chicago. We needed to stop and rest our legs. We got an oreo frappe and a free medium French fry with the McDonald's app. It tasted good and the servers were very nice and friendly. It helped us get through the rest of our car ride.”

“We are traveling through the area and stopped Sunday evening. It seemed there was only one young man working. He was very courteous, he was quicker getting our food to us than many places with 12 people working in the kitchen and the food was the best I've had from BK, probably ever. That kid needs a raise!”
