“On July 5th 2024 , my family came in from Tennessee and Indiana to try their famous Pork Tenderloin , celebrating our mother’s 83rd birthday. The service was so amazing and super friendly. I want to say thank you Smitty’s Bar and Grill for a great service.“

“Great food, great drinks, and great music. What more can you ask for?“

“This is my Husband's and Mines second time at Jorge's and we highly recommend this place! We ordered their chicken and skirt steak fajitas each time! They are probably one if the best fajitas meals we ever had, no joke, hands down! The meat is so moist and rhe vegetables so fresh and vibrant! Please try this place out! You won't be disappointed!“

“Hyvee has a butcher shop cutting fresh meats and also carries a diverse seafood selection. This isn't Walmart where everything is prepackaged sitting on the shelf past the expiration date. Shop Hyvee! There is also a cafe inside the grocery store.“

“A real bad where locals mix with travelers trading stories and making friends. I was passing through on business, but my local biker friends recommended the place. I pull up to find a horse hitched out back. Turns out the horse's owner has passed thru here 18 years ago and remembered the place after all those years. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly, the food is good, and the prices are cheap. You can't beat the atmosphere. This is the kind of place that trendy bars wishes they were. A unique hole in the wall that won't disappoint you, stop by Dave's Lost-ant and create your own stories.“

“Best Prime Rib in the Illinois Valley! Dare I say the best prime rib I’ve ever had? Highly recommend, but definitely make a reservation.“

“It has a nice outdoor patio, our waitress was really nice and the food was very good.“

“Decided to go here since I was on a vacation with my 3 year old son and they had a kids menu. Selection was good and prices were solid. My son got grilled cheese with tater tots and I got the Brisket BBQ Burger and fires. Burger was cooked perfectly and fries where fine. We also got a desert (s'mores). Mariah was our server and she was great, very attentive.“

“My mom and I stopped in late on a Sunday night after driving 10 hours that day on our cross country road trip, they were extremely accommodating and we felt so welcome there. Jillian took great care of us and we also had the pleasure of talking to the manager and cook, everyone was so nice! Our food was amazing, especially the prime rib!! This is a hidden gem and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a bite to eat or even a quick drink because the old fashioned was also incredible. Thanks for a great night!“

“We had a friend recommend this place, so we decided to give it a try — and I’m glad we did! They were pretty busy when we walked in, but we still got a nice table by the window, which made for great people-watching. I ordered the Italian Beef — it was delicious but definitely more food than I could finish. The fries were perfectly crunchy and full of flavor. It’s the perfect place to grab a bite after hiking — hearty portions, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Overall, I found the pricing to be quite reasonable, especially considering the unique decor and theme of the resort compared to a typical hotel. The water park exceeded my expectations, and the same goes for the hotel restaurant and the arcade. The staff members were really friendly. The mini golf area and the villas appear really nice. Additionally, the proximity of a trail leading to Starved Rock, specifically St. Louis Canyon, right across the street, was nice. I also appreciated the diversity of the guests; there was a mix of thirty-something parents and a variety of others. Overall, everyone seemed friendly, although most guests preferred to keep to themselves, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Would visit again.“

“Meg is the best host. She has consistently been a great asset to our hiking community. We plan our trips for when she is bartending and serving. Thanks for her amazing service. We could go to any number of places to eat and drink after our hikes but we choose this one because of the great food and Megs service.“
