Just stopped here for lunch after a day at Starved Rock. We were unsure if we were going to be able to dine in because we had our pup with us, but Jason and Prudence came outside to greet us all and welcomed us in with our pup. Thank yall for that! Food was amazing, (I had the Cajun prime rib sandwich). The service was spectacular and the atmosphere was very welcoming. We live about 45 mins away and will gladly be making the trip back to see our new friends. Thanks again Jason and Prudence!

The first time in this restaurant was about a month or so ago and Ashley took great care of us. Fast forward to tonight and we had Morgan who again, took excellent care of us. The food is delicious, service is spot on, and atmosphere is very calm and inviting. 10/10 recommend!

Legit BEST FOOD IN TOWN!!! Low key, great music with an easy vibe. Had a long day walking Starved Rock Park. Have eaten at 4 places in town this weekend. This was the best food- no comparison. Everyone was friendly and even helped us with out next stop to visit.

On 3/22/2026 Taylor Armstrong had this to say:
Wanted to give a huge shout out to Rhi and Prudence for not only completely taking care of us (steak sandwiches were phenomenal) The bar was packed and we were still taken care of. Completely attentive to everyone. These ladies never stopped moving and made sure everyone was taken care of. 10/10 highly recommend. Service is stellar. Food is delish. Prudence really took care of her employees by providing great feedback and respect along with encouragement to her staff. That really stood out to me from a leadership perspective. When things get busy it can get rough on everyone. I will come back solely because of how she treats her employees. That is absolutely huge to me.
