    Pork dinner. Oh yum. So tender and tasty.
    Janet M.

    Another Road trip trying out new places. Potluck Yelp style. This place was a good find in Pocahontas. The tortellini was good and came with a salad but was definately ho hum compared to the Pork entre my sister ordered. Hers came with 2 sides which she chose -grilled Asparagus and a baked potato, which was giant. Everything was great but the chop was excellant and oh so tender.

    Emily was our waitress and she was awesome tonight! For a small area, this place has a lot of flavor to offer. The bourbon salmon was on point and the frites are not what you would expect. Shoestring cut with rosemary and sea salt. Paired wonderfully with the rest of the meal. The special tonight was fried cod. Light and crispy. Not your typical heavy greasy fish fry. Had the butter cake for dessert and a society shakeup... Don't miss this place if you're in town!

    Thanks to Emily and Amy for making my birthday special .

    Wasn't feeling up to going tonight . Made the trip though . Emily and the rest of the staff working tonight all took care of me for my Birthday. Food is alway good, and the service is great ! Thank you !

    The absolute best place to eat in Vandalia no question. Amy and her staff are absolutely amazing! Food is wonderful. Ambiance is relaxing and nice. Love taking the family here!

    Amazing Bar and Restaurant in downtown Vandalia directly across from The Old State Capital. What an awesome concept. I have a degree in Hospitality Management with a focus in Food Service and this establishment is a 10/10 as it is a modern concept in a town that thrives on its history. Wonderful and refreshing design, terrific concept, and delicious food. Even though we were here for dinner this would be the type of place my wife and I would go for drinks on the weekend. Sophisticated and modern it's exactly what we want when getting a night away. I really enjoyed my dinner and thought the potato salad was stellar. I also had the garlic green beans and my wife and kids absolutely loved them! The restaurant was clean, the staff was extremely friendly and even didn't mind my kids running around towards the end when we were leaving. Don't think twice about stopping here, just do it! You won't be disappointed!

    We picked this place to meet up with friends for lunch. The place is HUGE!! The vibe is minimalist…read moreroadside bar and grill. It felt very clean and well maintained. We waited maybe 10 minutes for a table on a Sunday afternoon. The service from everyone team member was friendly and prompt. The menu is extensive. We tried the catfish bites with a homemade dill forward tartar sauce and the fried green tomatoes with a spicy remoulade. They offer brunch on the weekends. We had pancakes, and biscuits and gravy. For the more savory palates, we ordered a burger, the ribeye, and the Capone. The burger was thick and juicy, the bun held up to all of the toppings. The ribeye sandwich is a full steak on a hoagie roll. The Boursin cheese made this a little too rich for me but an amazing sandwich nonetheless. The Capone is a burger interpretation of a parmigiana sandwich. Rich marinara, mozzarella cheese and grilled onions and mushrooms made for an amazing meal. We had a wonderful time. We plan to stop in again soon

I think it is the proper place to sit when dining alone. No need to tie up a larger table for just me. Let the server have a larger party and make a bigger tip. Once I had, The HOB Chop with Truffle Fries and a Caesar Salad. My salad was typical fare, Truffle Fries were crisp on the outside and the inside was hot and fluffy. The star definitely was the chop. It was super tender, juicy and seasoned well. I'd order again. I have also stopped by a couple of times, just for a cocktail and appetizer. Once I ordered the, Prince Edwards Island Mussels with Garlic Bread. I was shocked to see the mussels were prepared out of their shells. It was a nice switch and the side garlic bread was perfect for dipping and scooping up the mussels. The last time I stopped for a Boulavardier, OMG it was delicious and refreshing. I've learned to ask a bartender if they know how to make one, because so many of the young ones do not. This bartender told me it was the owners favorite cocktail, so it definitely knew how to make one. He nailed it. As my appetizer this evening I choose, Calamari. I have never seen such large pieces of Calamari. I breading was light and crisp. I'm not a dipper, so I really didn't try the sauce. I just simply enjoyed the Calamari. The service is attentive as you'd expect at an upscale steakhouse.

    $187 for a family of four to have a breakfast on par with the Holiday Inn Express…read more So disappointing. We were excited to get a reservation for this breakfast experience. Unfortunately it was awful. We were sat on the enclosed porch. We had Christmas music blaring so loud that you had to shout. (Someone later unplugged the speaker.) The temp on the porch reached 79, which was quite uncomfortable. We waited about 45 minutes for our food. And, boy was it awful. Frozen pancakes, frozen biscuits, ok gravy, ok casserole and really good sausage links. No serving utensils for anything - had to use my fork to get gravy. No butter. I will say, the place is decorated really well. Top marks for that. As far as food service - this place has no idea what they're doing. All in all - you'd be better off getting a room at the Hampton Inn. It would be cheaper and the breakfast is better. Guess you have to determine how much you're willing to pay for a photo of your kids with the Grinch. (Which we didn't get because we were so hot and uncomfortable.)

You can tell the owners put a lot of love, care and Christmas cheer into making this place special and memorable. The entrance even has a photo station so you can get adorable group photos easily. This is one of the few Christmas bars that also offers family-friendly brunch in the mornings. I heard the Grinch brunch is amazingly silly and fun for Grinch lovers. Highly recommend requesting Ali as your server as she is an absolute delight and such a happy Elf! Be sure to try the Dubai Chocolate or Peppermint Patty drinks.
