The only reason Iâm doing a review is because our waiter was cheerful, attentive and even checked on my young grandsons in the menâs room. But thatâs another story. The food was good. Nothing to write home about. We were impressed with the amount of choices for a kids menu. Broccoli even! We had to catch a movie and were in a hurry and he did everything to make that happen.
9. Farren's Pub & Eatery

While researching our trip to Champaign-Urbana, home of the University of Illinois, my alma mater, I happened across a survey that declared Farren's Pub & Eatery produced the best burgers in Illinois. So how could my wife and I pass up a chance to sample the merchandise? Once located at 308 North Randolph in Champaign, Farren's moved to a larger location at 117 North Walnut in July. The new site, near the intersection of Neil Street and University Avenue, also has room for a separate bar. Open at 11 am. daily, Farren's is a popular hangout for college students after classes and after late-night studying, the kind of place my fraternity brothers and I used to frequent while cramming for final exams. But what about the burgers? Are they as good as advertised. Farren's offers 10 varieties. I sampled two, the Russell with sauteed mushrooms, bacon, blue cheese sauce and pepperjack cheese and the Spicoli with bacon, sauteed mushrooms, sauteed onions and American cheese. I washed them down with a 32-ounce glass of lemonade. Burgers, like pizza and hot dogs, are a personal preference, what pleases you most. Farren's burgers may not be the best I've ever tasted but they are in the conversation. The survey wasn't lying.

We went to Destihi's for a late dinner for our daughters birthday. The service was great, even had two wait staff. The drinks before the meal were just what was needed along with the bacon wrapped dates and the Crap Rangoon dip. My daughter and I shared one of their special pizzas that included Brie and Blueberries. WOW was it good. Her "birthday cake" not really was their Carrot cake, with a big piece going home with her. Remember to get your parking ticket validated before leaving.Thank you for celebrating your daughter's birthday with us! We hope we'll see you again very soon.Cheers!
7. Black Dog Smoke & Ale House

My wife and I don't relish the thought of eating barbecue in a restaurant. It's messy enough at home, two or three napkins, sometimes more. But we have heard so many good things about Black Dog Smoke & Ale House that when we had an opportunity to see if it's as good as advertised, we couldn't pass it up. According to most restaurant critics, Black Dog produces the best tasting barbecue in Illinois, maybe the entire country. They opened their first location at 201 North Broadway Avenue in Urbana, Illinois, in 2009. It was so successful that they opened another location, installing a wood-fired smoker in an old train depot at the corner of Chestnut and Main Street in Champaign in 2015. We visited the Urbana location and agreed the barbecue was unlike anything we've ever tasted. We started with smoked chicken wings tossed with Carolina red BBQ sauce and served with celery and smoked bleu cheese dressing. Then we couldn't resist Blackdog cornbread, two cornbread muffins baked with green chiles, pit beans, cheddar cheese and pulled pork. Then we shared a full slab platter of St. Louis style pork spareribs smothered in BBQ sauce with French fries, potato salad and slaw. And we washed it all down with mugs of strawberry lemonade and Goose Island root beer. No wonder everyone in Champaign-Urbana is talking about Black Dog Smoke & Ale House.

Sept 18 2019.Come to the C-U to visit a friend. She brought us here and said its the best BBQ shes had in the city. It was hot and i wanted dessert first, so i ordered a virgin strawberry daquiri. The waiter brought something that looked like he added strawberry mix to a lemonade. He could have just said they dont have those instead. So i got ice tea.food came to the table super quick.. but it was the wrong order. it was for another table. Our order came shortly after, but i ordered sweet potato fries, and got a sweet potato. THe BBQ was really good, but a smaller portion than i thought it would be.The (male) waiter got my (female) friend a refill, never offered (male) me one. When the bill came, it was on this tablet and i couldnt see the individual charges, but i knew that $58 for two people was wrong. it was once again something for a different table. When he came back with the correct table, as i was paying $38 still seemed high, so i asked for a printed receipt, to find extra charges. Space cadet waiter must have seen the zero tip, as the manager came over and apologized for everything and comp'd the entire ticket. ( charges actual were reversed on my bank statement, so they got THAT right at least.)It'll be a little while before i go back to Champaign, but i'm 100% sure i'll never set foot in here again.

First time here and I will preface this review with, I will be going back. With that said there is one item I won't be getting and not because it wasn't good but because it was removed from a package and deep fried, the onion rings. If you're looking for run of the mill onion rings that taste like onion rings you could buy from "INSERT STORE CHAIN NAME HERE" and make at home, then you're in luck. Otherwise, I would just pass on them and ask the waitress/waiter if any of their appetizers are house made. The southwestern ranch dip that came with them was good however and had a smokey flavor to it which I appreciated. The same can also be said about their waffle fries that came with my wife's slider which may as well of been purchased from a grocery store that day and fried that night. Onto the real reason I have found to return here, the sliders. Holy cow they were good as together we had the following - Bacon & Cheese Slider, Smokey BBQ Slider, Black Jack Slider and the Chicago Style Hot Dog Slider. All were very good and next time I plan on getting all new sliders except for the Smokey BBQ, that I will eat every time. As for drinks my wife ordered the unsweet tea (it tasted like Raspberry tea) so we sent that back and opted for a Diet Pepsi. I drank the Paulaner Octoberfest Marzen on tap which was phenomenal.We didn't wait to be seated but our waitress was very busy and because of that our stay in the establishment lasted for 75 minutes. For a Friday night in downtown Champaign this was to be expected but if you're looking for a quicker place to eat on a busy night, it may not be the best option.

Ate solo and with groups at Le Peep multiple times so finally writing a review. Excellent place for breakfast, lunch, brunch and anything in-between (they close at 2 p.m.). Very good tasting food, mainly egg-based (omelets, basted, scrambled, and so on), cooked well and with fresh ingredients (extra point). Served expertly and with a smile (extra point), personnel always ready to help but not intrusive. Clean place (incl. bathrooms) with a nice American Diner patina and great muzak (30s-50s jazz and blues) that allows conversation. Check the menu for pancakes and other nice surprises! Food for every age, some items gluten free and celiac-friendly (not tested personally yet). Punch card for regulars is a nice feature.Highly recommended for anybody living or visiting C-U !

We just came for brunch for Easter. Food was delicious, but the waitress (a young blonde lady) was very inattentive. Super unfriendly, forgot our cream and sugar, had to ask other waiter for it. Spilled my coffee on the plate and never got a refill. I didnât have a spoon to stir my coffee. Better employees should work in a place like this.Hi Laura, Thank you for your pointer regarding your Brunch service. I apologize for the lack of attentiveness and also for my tardy reply. We'll plan to be more vigilant in the future and assure better service for all our guests.Again, thanks for taking the time to leave your comments.

Reviewed By Scott H
Located in a strip mall in a place where many other restaurants have failed does not lend itself to being a good location to open a successful place BUT once you taste the BBQ you'll know why I rated this place as excellent. The decor might not win you over either, it's not bad but it is rather a wide open space with hints from all the previous incarnations. What will win you over is the authentic smoked BBQ selections. No shortcuts here, this place does it right with lots of bark and deep smoke in the meats. The menu is extensive from ribs to brisket to chicken to turkey to sausage to wings and probably more that I'm forgetting. They have 6 sauces on the table with descriptions of each on the napkin holder and I have a hard time picking a favorite so I normally use 4 or 5 on my meats just because they are so good. They have some great sides too. I highly recommend the potato salad. I'm hoping it will begin to get enough word-of-mouth to keep it busy and break the curse of the location. I believe the Black Dog has been the #1 BBQ place in town for several years but this place has it beat in my opinion by quite a bit. There are no crowds (yet) and the prices are better too so skip the high priced, wait in line place and come here for much better authentically smoked BBQ.

1. The Ribeye

The Ribeye keeps it simple with a well-executed but rather brief menu and terrific salad bar, Their signature ribeye is served on a sizzling platter and offered in two sizes. There are chicken and shrimp add-on options as well, and a choice of sides. Service was warm and efficient without feeling rushed. The tender, juicy steaks were very accurate in the temperature ordered, even with the added heat from the platter. The salad bar was a meal in itself with a variety of pasta, potato salad and topping offerings in addition to the standard spread of fresh veggies. The place does a brisk business, even during the week, so we choose to eat a bit earlier. These folks know what they are doing and do it really well at reasonable prices.
