    Bar area, sit down dining side.  Nice friendly waitresses and waiters!

    Very nice local bar/grill. The Cameo Pizza is great, as are the burgers and wings. We haven't had a bad meal!!

    Everyone should know you don't put a hot burger on top of lettuce. Got tossed, along w/ my tomato & onion. They were on the bottom as well.

    Love the atmosphere! Food is great! The only downfall is "Covid" they shortened the menu and got rid of their mouth watering pot roast!

    The food was good. If you get the wings make sure you get the unbreaded ones. Price is moderate. Services is good and friendly.

    The Invention Restaurant - Hot trash potatoes

    Small town diner. Love it! You know who the regulars who come here and the staff knows them…read more The staff is super friendly. And the food comes out hefty. Lots of food with lots of grease. Beware cause you'll smell the food on you when you leave. Parking is around the town square (street parking). Overall, I would come back again. It's great supporting a local diner and the food was good.

    Returning to Stately Breakwind Manor from a road gig in Ohio, There wasn't a lot to find vis-a-vis…read morebreakfast joints on the way. (the Denny's and IHOPs have all been terrorized by accountants, apparently, as their offerings have all declined exponentially in quality.) The nearest Cracker Barrel was literally 100 miles in front of us. Nope, I was in the mood to find the tiny local joint where folks in the kitchen had a mission. This quest has been front and center in all my travel plans since always, and when I win one, it's always a bonus (find my Yelp about "Lu-Bob's" in Greenville, IL) As wife was driving, I had time to reconnoiter Yelp, and the "Invention" in Milan (a few miles ahead) looked like a bullseye. Milan is a quaint little town with a picturesque town square, and the "Invention Restaurant" was smack dab on the corner- it looked EXACTLY as I hoped it would. It was crowded inside with Families (2nd good sign). We got seated in a tiny booth right next to the kitchen and restrooms- Siberia in any other place, but at least we wouldn't escape the eye of the Waitress when our drinks needed a refill. The Lady Chef expediting was a riot to watch and listen to. I could tell these folks were serious about their jobs. The Waitress seemed right out of central Casting-jovial in a good natured smartass way. Wife went with the "Triple"- Eggiwegs, Pancakes and Bacon. I swung with the special "Hot Trash" which was basically a "garbage plate"-a bit of everything mixed up with potatoes and eggs. (this one promised to be "spicy") A really Good Cup of strong coffee was the 3rd good sign, but the "Pepsi" was a bit suspect. Luckily that was the onliest barnacle on this visit. Not enough to foul the mood, but If we're ever there again, we're drinking Iced Tea. Both Breakfasts were max yummy. The "Hot Trash" wasn't especially spicy, but the dish was really great. I didn't care about the spicing. Wife was happy with hers-everything was top fresh. My plate was so sumptuous, I couldn't finish. Made sure the Chef knew it was a matter of capacity, not lack of quality. Prices VERY reasonable as well. This WAS a "small-town winner" for the books. One note-The unisex toilet was about as spacious as the last one I visited on a Boeing 737. Although clean, you could wash your hands in the sink without leaning forward on the throne. I'm a man of size, and if I was 10 pounds more, I would have had considerable trouble navigating the facility here. Not enough to sour me on the place, but I'm glad I didn't have to do major work there, if you know what I mean. If you're enroute to or returning from Cleveland, take the little detour off of I-80/90 and visit the Invention Restaurant in Milan...

    Buddies in BBQ - Half rack of Ribs and baked beans

    Returning home from a personal trip, we decided to stop at Buddies in Barbecue for a quick meal…read more What a pleasant surprise! I never expected to find barbecue this flavorful in such a small town. According to our hostess, Buddy's Barbecue is actually owned by two buddies--and after our meal, it's easy to see they've got the recipes, the passion, and the service to back up the name. I ordered the half rack of ribs with the baked beans, which the hostess highly recommended, and I'm glad I listened. The ribs were tender, smoky, and packed with flavor, while the baked beans were some of the best I've had. My friend ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a baked potato, and it looked so good that we ended up sharing our meals so we could each try everything. Every bite was outstanding. The restaurant was spotless, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the service was fast from start to finish. If you're anywhere near the area and craving authentic barbecue, Buddies in Barbecue is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be back!

    Four of us went recently. Mine and my husbands dinner was good. The other two that went with us was…read moreNot. One ordered chicken. It was very very dry and didn't have any sauce with it. Last girl had bbq ribs. Her ribs were nothing short of jerky. Black, tough, and stuck to the bone. You could not get the meat off the bone. Complained to the waitress. She said she couldn't do anything about it because her boss wasn't there. She tried to call them but stated the phone didn't work and was having problems with spectrum. First of all, as the only waitress in the restaurant she should be able to make a decision on her own. She said she could not give the girl her money back without talking to her boss. She did not even ask if she could replace the meal. In my opinion, along with others at the table, she could have brought out another meal or even taken some steps to make it right. Take note, if you visit this establishment and your dinner is over cooked you will not get your money back nor will you be offered a different meal. To the waitress, you must have been new to the job itself. Most waitresses would have gone above and beyond to make this situation better if that meant paying for that dinner with her tips and getting her customer her money back! Won't be back
