“Love this restaurant. We try to dine at Hamilton Walkers every time we come to visit our son at college. Food is always amazing and at a great price point for an upscale dining experience. Fantastic ambiance, service and location. The cocktail shrimp and bacon wrapped dates appetizers are recommended. As are there steaks and fish and meat loaf and garlic mashed potatoes. Really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.“

“Kenny, our server, made our wedding anniversary meal so very special. The steaks were amazing! Highly recommend the Baxters Salad too. The delicious and beautifully presented complimentary dessert (gooey butter cake) was so very appreciated and the time our server took with us to capture a great photo of the moment meant everything to us! Highly recommend this restaurant!“
“This litterly the best bar I had be in for years, they actually had budwieser on draft, total hole in the wall, great light not loud, refurbished bar with real wood, great atmosphere, if I hadn't a lunch date I would have closed it down, sorry I had to leave, oh and I forgot the darts have real pointed tips“
“I really enjoyed this restaurant. They have enough unique dishes on their menu to be just enough different than every other Hispanic Mexican restaurant that is in the area. The food was delicious. The salsa was very flavorful. The cheese sauce has flavor as well. We went as a family and you'll pay what you expect for a sir down restaurant. Every dish was great and the atmosphere was very fun. I would say my only complaint is that the seats are very close together and it was harder to get out to use the restroom. Also the higher chairs are not very comfortable.“

“I had a very nice day the clerk was very informative and she was nice very nice welcoming personality the hotel is got a warm vibe to it that makes me feel at home away from home definitely going back here again even though it's just your average hotel my opinion it's a good one to “
“First time for me at Buford's Pub, my family had each been there before. My mom and I were greeted by a very friendly waitress and the bar dog. The bar was full, but she would get us a table as soon as she could. So we waited at the bar. We were still waiting for two others and not in a hurry. While waiting, we saw wonderful looking cheeseburgers going out to tables.It is a great bar with several tables and very friendly people. I and my mom ordered the breaded pork tenderloin- it was not only gigantic but delicious! My SIL ordered the half order of chicken nachos- it was huge! We were all surprised about the nachos. My brother ordered the Philly cheesesteak and it looked delicious.We sat and ate our lunch and had a great time!I will be back to try the cheeseburgers!“
“Smith Burger definitely has the best burgers in town, don't downplay the hot dogs though either. The chili cheese ripper is super good. Then by adding the beer selection of collective pour to this place it is hard to beat. Because it is on the edge of downtown one might say that the location is limiting, but because of the parking right outside it's a pretty great location too.“
“OMG. I love this place. It's so lively and warm. Chicken sandwich was the best I've ever had. We came here for a friend's birthday and service was great and split the bill across multiple people. One of my favorite spots around UIUC!“
“Pippa’s is one of the few remaining venues in Champaign that still supports live music. They deserve all the gratitude, in the form of patronage, that we can give them - especially on the nights that some of our amazing local musicians playing. Also, the staff is friendly and the drinks are very reasonably priced. The only catch with Pippa’s is that they are cash only so be sure to visit the ATM before you arrive (luckily there is an ATM on sight and a Busey Bank with an ATM about a half a block away).“
“One of the best restaurants in town and likely the best Indian restaurant I've ever been to, The Himalayan Chimney hits on all cylinders in all categories: atmosphere, service, food taste, food quality, food selection, drink list (full bar) - they're even fast for a weekday lunch. How could anyone leave disappointed?“
“Ok, I went there a couple times in their first couple days of both soft and official opening weekend and I have to say that I do LOVE the retro cool renovations, the special local decor touches and the general ambiance provided by the open-concept room with a mix of seating options, a respectable alternative/alt-country playlist and an ever-friendly staff. Altho they do not yet have skee-ball and other gaming options like the other locations, there are some dart boards and a retro bubble hockey game! The real applause should directed to the beer selections and the down-to-a-science technology inherent to the extensive pour your own / pay-by-the-ounce tap wall. The only glitch was that there was no wine on tap, but that, and the glass-rinsing mechanism, are apparently still in the works. The best part of the set up though is probably the variety - in addition to 2 wines, they will be looking to keep 2 ciders, 2 meads and a hard seltzer or 2, as well as the 15 or so beer taps representing the gamut of styles. I can also say that at least initially, the choices were well thought out and include a couple not found elsewhere locally. In addition to a digital (UnTappd) beer board in front, the thing that may be most helpful for those that prefer to not "do the math", above each tap someone has chalked in a style listing with the equivalent cost (10 or 16-oz depending on style) per glass. I see a good number of whiskey options and am told they have a nice cocktail list too. The ownership/management team behind this 4th central Illinois franchise location seem to be great people and are already entertaining expansion plans. As a fan of what they've done here downtown, hopefully they can avoid the curse(s) the previous establishments ran into at this locale and their focused expedient work will be repaid. If you're looking for some unique refreshment and a cool, downtown vibe...check'em out.“
“Ricky, my server was absolutely awesome. Awesome! Full of smiles. Very helpful. Now the food from the snow crab to the shrimp to the muscles to the sausage. Everything was absolutely tender . Cooked to perfection. Rubbery and nothing undercooked absolutely some of the best seafood that I've had in the longest time. And I eat out all the time ?? Great job!????❤️ Not to mention the wrong oysters were extremely tender. Cleaned no grit at all and they were just so big and meaty. Worth every penny.“
“Great selections of pizza and cheap beers - a perfect combination for a local bar. It is a small town bar but it was hard to believe how much cheaper everything was compared to even other places nearby. Nothing fancy and great place to hang out with people.“
“I came in a few months ago with a couple of friends, Craig was super nice and accommodating. When I came in a few nights ago as well, he remembered me and had crafted my preferred drink when it wasn’t common, I’m super impressed by his service and cocktail creations. Absolutely would recommend, such a nice environment with wonderful bartenders.“
“Great vibe, awesome people, and good cheap drinks. Matt’s a super cool guy who makes good cocktails, but he likes Rush a little too much. Impressive vinyl collection. No regrets making it down here for a wicked night and Matt was rad enough to drive us back to our hotel at the end of the night when Uber let us down, but like don’t ask him to do that.“
“Great college town Irish pub. Welcoming atmosphere with good service, relatively inexpensive drinks, and good daily specials on food. Recommended to check out if you're ever in Campustown.Vegetarian options: Primarily nachos, quesadilla, and fries/potato wedges“
