“Stopped in after a long day at Starved Rock, and my group and I were starved! So glad we chose this location, small town business, busy but not too busy, owner run doing lots of the work and maintaining professional courtesy despite constant demands. Two people working, so if you're not in a hurry no big deal, and it's totally worth the wait! We enjoyed every bit of our visit here, and the food was absolutely amazing! The fried mushrooms are huge!!! Being short staffed naturally there were some hang ups in the mix, that's where the courtesy comes in, having worked as a bar manager myself running also a kitchen and doing the food and beverage and running blind short staffed, so I get it. I highly recommend this place, and if it's not moving fast enough for you then move on, because this place is great and worth the sit back and relax! Thank you Mike and Rick and I think I heard the name Angie back in the kitchen y'all do a wonderful job!”
