I am from the south and was expecting a cornmeal based batter but was pleasantly surprised when it came to the table. The batter is similar to tempura but also beer batter. While the establishment did forget our appetizer but it was quickly rectified. The food was delicious and the portions are HUGE. A few pro tips: the catfish is served as a steak so it has bone. Also, they only take cash or check. But there are 2 ATM's there.

We ordered a salad, fried chicken and pasta, which shouldn't take this long. Again, the food is wonderful and the fried chicken to die for, but always so, so slow. This time, unfortunately, the Salmon Cobb Salad was not good. The salmon was not fresh whatsoever and tasted like what I can easily buy out of frozen bag from Walmart. I told the waitress I did not like it at all and she was super nice and got it switched for grilled chicken which absolutely made up for it.

Given it's double the price of a single meat platter, I expected it to comfortably feed two. On the platter were two solid ribs, a quarter dark chicken, and one hot link which were all solid sharing portions. Brisket which I understand would be one of the more expensive items - was one slice plus a sliver of a dry end attached to it. I'm not sure if that's one slice or a one slice plus what one was counting as a second slice. This was a disappointing mark - I thought about asking the server about whether we should have at least a full second slice. Pulled pork - to me is a much less expensive item compared to brisket - yet a relatively small amount. Not as egregious as the easily measured brisket. Cole slaw - even if it was made in house as opposed a commercial bulk supplier, this is a low cost item no? Small dish. Quality is very good - just a question of the quantity. Tap water here seems filtered for neutral taste. It was a nice day on a quiet Sunday afternoon so we opted to get seated outside on the patio with umbrella shade. Traffic going by was light and quiet. Two servers available during the lull while we were there and the worked as a team to check on us outside.

The wait staff was friendly and very quick to serve us even though there were 6 at our table. It was a nice night and we all sat out on the patio.

If you…read moreget a $16 roll and a $10 roll and really take the time to enjoy each mouth full of those true works of art (tip of the hat to Hadi).. eyes closed ..face skyward.. all attention on your tastebuds to give the experience the attention it deserves.. you'll take half of each home and get two meals. Technically that $30+ tab is more than you'd spend for a burger and fries and a shake someplace.. but thats one meal..and its fast and its done and did you really need or want that calorie count? that fat and sugar? starch and salt? It tastes good you say? ok.. try this instead.. take half home. two meals at about the same price per meal.. much better for you and when I say ART.. I mean ART. Like taking your tastebuds to a live concert with Bach and Mozart playing and the opener is OG Queen. As to the economics.. If you buy at a chain..thats an organization designed to funnel money up and OUT of your community as much as possible.. if you eat at say Cinco in Streator or any locally owned and operated and incorporated restaurant more of the money stays local to swish around in the local economy. OH and of course, healthier eating in both cases. real food. A solid platter at Cinco usually gets me at least two meals and thats if i dont mix in the leftovers to punch up my own tacos or soup or whatever I'm cooking

It's a very upscale and modern cute and large establishment. The vibes are there and the space but…read moreit will never not be packed and loud. Rightfully so. Service has always been good when I went. I've probably gone under 10x and given enough tries at the new and old locations. Every time there's always something that goes wrong but I continue to come back because family and friends love it and I always try something else when I come in. Food is always edible most of the time but not great. I've had hair in my burger before. Other Burgers were overcooked and flavorless. Mac and cheese is disgusting. Sushi menu is kinda repeat and all fried / tempora. Pretty basic and boring and if you're gluten free you're kinda SOL. Crab Rangoon is imitation crab. Gross. This last time I went for a goodbye dinner to a coworker moving: Drinks- Table got a pitcher of white sangria- it was ok but way overpriced. I got the strawberry basil lemonade drink and it sucked. It lacked taste. I'n convinced it was water and not lemonade, nothing puree about it, & there was no basil in it besides used as a piece of decor. Sushi- I showed the waitress a picture of the roll I saw on someone review and that it claimed it was a Ottawa roll but it was not and 10/10 a different role that was given to me. Luckily I will eat anything and it actually wasn't bad but what the hell. Truffle fries- beer battered. Yuck. Mac & Cheese- I thought it used to be not bad but I got it this last time as a side and it was different noodles, thick, no creamy cheese sauce, & no seasoning. Dessert- 10/10 made the trip worth it. I hate fried ice cream and not a huge brownie person but that dessert was amazing. The beignet with caramel- yessss. I never get the hype of the food but think it's because there's not much around like this for locals. If someone wanted to go back I wouldn't not go but I am not a fan.

First off, I heard about a joint serving up upscale dishes in the small town of Walnut. I grew up…read morenear this area and it has always only ever been a drive through town, with not much reason to stop. This restaurant "The Shed" will give many a strong reason to stop and eat like a king. The establishment seems newly built or renovated. This place is NOT a hole in the wall but something the owners should take great pride in creating. The location is easy to find. And once you are inside, it only gets better. The bar itself is huge and showcases a vast array of many drinks to choose from. The food options within the menu seem to reflect a wide variety of food options for all. The downfall of this restaurant is maybe they have TOO many good options to choose from. What a great problem to have. I opted for the Mac N Cheese infused with Pot Roast. This dish when it arrived, was piping hot. I was taken back by the crackers that came crumbled on top of it. It's the small things that can make or break a dish. I don't recall being asked if I wanted that on my dish, but glad I wasn't because it only added to the perfect way it was crafted. (So if crackers aint your thing, like tell your server). The whole dish was a win. So much flavor packed into such a simple dish, that by the time I was done - I realized this dish was anything BUT simple. It was enough for two people to split. The garlic bread that came with, was mind numbingly great. The side of chili I got, was full of flavor but for me, was a bit watery/tomatoey for my tastes ... but I wouldn't say it was bad. The only real downside to this restaurant is volume/noise that never really gets absorbed by anything. It was hard for my brother, my mom and I to have a conversation or to hear each other. I don't know how management can change this. And I hate dinging a restaurant for this... but it is, what it is. I applaud the owners here for the uniqueness of their menu and for giving those in this area such an upscale variety of food options to choose from. I can see this restaurant really being a greater success as more and more people find out about it. This restaurant was clean, well organized, had great flow to it and the server we had... I believe she said her name was Cody - did an amazing job. 9.2 out of 10.
