Off to the big store by the gas pumps and dog bark ( yes, what they call it)...where they sell more cheese, ice cream, soaps, soup mixes, more fun merch, as well as standard gas stop sundries.

Bathrooms are clean and they have some fresh made treats to purchase. Picked up an egg salad sandwich and little baggies of various cheese. They also had hand pies that I might have to try next time. The egg salad sandwich had very nice soft bread and nice flavor. Would make a stop here again in a heartbeat.

Have Not eaten there for a year and went yesterday. Food is very ordinary just as in the past…read more Prices are higher than everyone else in Rantoul. Was given the bill and when I went to pay the cashier tried to charge me for $13 and change more than the bill was. I showed her her the ticket and she goes I thought that sounded high and it was obvious she did it on purpose. Second time she tries to charge me $4 dollars more. I said in a firm tone try again.. It was so obvious what was going on.as this stems from an incident over 20 years ago. Very unprofessional and rude low life help. This place wouldn't get any business if all of the customers are treated like I am. I'm done!

Kim the manager is amazing! Took great care of us with a great sense of humor, even after a long day. The staff was hustling, well done! Food was great, we really enjoyed the nachos. The BLT was on point after a hot day. Not sure when we will be back in Rantoul, but I will definitely come back to ET's if we do.

The chicken quesadilla is another standout, packed with flavor and cooked just right. Their burgers are consistently delicious, and the peanut butter and Sriracha bacon sliders offer a bold, unique combination that somehow works perfectly together. Their service is spot on. kudos to Kim and her team!!!

Rolled into Chatterbox Café in Kankakee because I saw a review talking about pastrami pancakes…read more Now, I'm always down for the weird-but-good food combos... except, plot twist--that review was for the wrong place. No pastrami pancakes here. Bummer. That said, breakfast was basic but good--eggs, bacon, coffee, the classics. Sometimes that's all you really need. The vibe is super local, definitely one of those "everybody knows your name" joints. Felt like I should've walked in wearing a nametag that said "Norm." points because my waitress was a Styx fan--nothing like sipping coffee while talking Come Sail Away. Rock and eggs? Solid combo. tip: you can't add your tip later on the receipt, gotta do it when you ring out. I just left a cash tip--felt right anyway. Kept it homie.Overall? Cozy, friendly, no-frills, and exactly the kind of place you want when you're eating with the locals.

The biscuits were soft and pillowy and the gravy was rich. My husband got the creme brule French toast. This was also super delicious and really sweet. I highly recommend Egg Republic!

The food took over 30 minutes, which wouldn't be a deal breaker, if it was hot. The fries were cold. That's a death sentence in my opinion. The burger was fine, though not hot, at least warm enough. Sorry, maybe impressive for some, but not for this guy. I would have been happier at the BBQ joint across the street.

Though it looks unremarkable from the outside, inside, you'll find a wonderful restaurant where the staff is highly invested in making sure you have a great meal. My companion enjoyed a lovely Old Fashioned to start. I ordered the Turkey stroganoff, while he had the shrimp and grits. When the plates came out, I thought the veil was finally about to slip. They were well-plated, but huge. And yet...the veil didn't slip. It was haute-cuisine comfort food goodness in what looked like a converted warehouse space. Unreal! Though turkey is often too dry, my stroganoff was moist and succulent. The sauce was much more than just cream of mushroom -- lots of flavor and not too much salt. We had a time of it. I'd happily come back here again and again.

Absolutely the cutest farm I've ever seen. A group of us went for the goat hike (so unique right?!)…read moreand loved it! Our tour guides were the sweetest people and so knowledgeable about the goats and the farmland. A drink ( alcoholic or nonalcoholic up to $12) is included in the price of the goat hike ticket.

I recommend checking this place out if you're in the area even though it's a little out of the way in the countryside!

Thank goodness for word of mouth, or I never would've found this place. It sits in the middle of…read morethe country, and is very easy to miss passing by if you aren't looking for it. I think I've seen 1 billboard in Champaign / Urbana for here.. maybe. But, a coworker of mine suggested I go and thank goodness she did. The food here is so delish. We got the chef tasting and wine pairing. 5 courses + 5 wines. The muscles we were served for the entree were the star of the show; Especially the sauce they were served in - killer. It's not particularly "fancy" inside, given you're on a farm. But, it is cute and clean. Do be weary when ordering because our bill came to just under $300 for 2 with the tasting menu. There are many other cheaper options on the menu and their menu is clearly priced online so there are no blindsides. This is a great place to go for a birthday dinner or celebration. You will enjoy the food (and the goats)
