Restaurants near Thayer

“Food is excellent!! I recommend the teriyaki Gangster Wings!! They are the best I've ever had!! They are boneless and big pieces of chicken with a special breading that is homemade and nothing like I've ever had before!! The Capone burger and Alley fries are great also. Tish (owner) is awesome along with her food!!”

“Lots of Jack 🔥 and Wild Turkey 101”

“Outstanding service which rivaled the terrific food! Our only complaint was portions were so large we couldn't possibly finish! What a great out of town gem❤️”

“"The Italian Beef sandwich is on special," the server said. "It's really good." From the bar, the owner, who was enjoying it for her own lunch, "Oh my gosh--it's so good!!" We both tried it and agreed that they were both right. Excellent food, a beautiful and delicious old school Strawberry Milkshake, great service, and a nice visit with the owners. Well worth whatever trip you make to get here. Highly recommend.”

“I tried this after my cousin recommended it. This is seriously the best coffee around and the customer service is spectacular! I absolutely love the online ordering system and the fact they will bring it out to my vehicle! Go give it a try-you won’t be disappointed!”

“Not only was the food amazing, but the staff are so much and personable! Definitely recommend!”

“We ventured to Auburn to try OPA THAI and were greeted and served by a friendly and welcoming family operation. The food is made like homemade Thai food with options for the spiciness level. Very fresh and flavorful. The Thai tea was a special treat!”

“My sister Billie n I ate at the Whirla Whip while I was visiting from Southern IL. On Wednesday March 25,2026. Figuring it would be a big sandwich her n I split a Philly cheese steak sandwich, breaded mushrooms n corn nuggets n a nice cold Pepsi.The service was great n the food was nice hot n fresh. I compliment to the young lady at the window telling her how great the service was n that I believed it was the best food Id ever tasted n that I was sure to be back. The place was crowded. Some even brought their dogs for a bite of ice cream. I’m from Girard n used to walk there for a corn dog n fries from high school lunch back in the late 70s early 80s . Owned then by a family with the last name of Swift. My mom n dad owned Hubbard Feed Store in Nilwood n at the end of the year my mom n dad would have our bus stop n they paid for a drink n an icecream. The kids really appreciated it n would hang out of the bus windows screaming thank you Mr n Mrs Lake. Even after my school days were over it still remained there. My favorite was a toss up between orange n raspberry sherbet. With all that being said I’m looking forward to another trip home to have the same exact food! Thank you Whirla Whip for your awesomeness. Stay cool😎 Sue Lake Benton IL🌮🌭🍔❤️”

“What a great place to go in chatham !”

“Only spent a short time here when passing through Chatham awhile back. Some years back, this place was known as "Wolfe"s". Coldest beer in town - and the only place I could get served at the age of 17. Good times....”

“If you're vacationing in Auburn, this is a must visit attraction. The ambiance is unique and friendly. You'll be comfortable from the first ice cold sip of your last drink. The servers are the nicest people you'll ever encounter. Don't forget to order a pizza prepared to perfection on site. If you get cabin fever, no worries, they have an outdoor gathering area fit for a king, but will be a delightful oasis for you and your party. Whatever you do, don't end your time in Auburn without experiencing this gem of a watering hole. You might just decide to stay.”

“Nic Place to stop on a hot day for a cold beer. One of the cleanest bars I have seen in my travels. Even the restrooms. Fast service & the food is good. It can get noisy on weekends but if your looking for a quiet place to drink, come during the week”
