Dinner on holiday with best friend my wife. Smaller place with local charm. Barkeeper was friendly and greeted us on entry. Beer on tap was your normal industrial pulls, with a few notable crafts. Service was good, but I think the server forgot our order, or the cook was killing chickens, as the fried chicken seemed to take forever to get to the table. Large portions for a reasonable price. Actually two meals for us. Cannot complain too much. Recommended.

We ate in this restaurant because the main dining area wasn't open yet. This is basically the same restaurant as the big one at the lodge. t had such a taste for roast turkey so that's what I ordered. My meal included turkey, mixed vegetables and mashed potatoes with gravy. It wasn't even room temperature...it was cold. I did let our server know and she brought me another plate of food which was cooler than the first plate. I didn't want to wait any longer so I ate it. I did let her know before I consumed it and she really didn't do anything about it....not even call a manager. I was charged full price as well. I would not go back. Very disappointing especially after a day at beautiful Starved Rock.

This is the most pathetic restaurant I have ever witnessed! We were seated and waited 2 hours after ordering before our food arrived. We ordered appetizers that were never received and our waiter did not once stop back at the table to let us know what was going on or to refill our drinks. We had to go to the bar to get refills on water. My frozen daiquiri was warm when served to me. When they finally brought the food out, they only had 3 of our 4 meals. The burgers were burnt and the fries were under cooked. I am still in absolute shock over how awful our experience was! All the tables around us had the same wait time and we all got meals for free.

My husband and I had dinner at the bar on a Saturday. Everybody was so friendly and the regulars introduced themselves. We started with the rav and broth, since we had never heard of it before. It is a local soup of ravioli (or tortellini in this case) and chicken broth. It was pretty good. We then split the southwest chicken wrap with sweet potato fries and we were both happy with the choice. Michele took good care of us. I would visit again if I were in the area.
