Wow, this place is incredible!…read more I spend a lot of time in the area at a little vacation home, and I am so mad that I've been going to the crappy town IGA instead of this place for so long. We go through a fair amount of produce each week, so when I heard about Wayne's I decided to give it a try - hoping for both better prices and better quality. I was totally blown away! It's incredibly well-kept and well-organized, and they have a ton of items that IGA doesn't. My favorite part is the "value bags" they have available - for just $19.95, you get a reusable tote bag filed with all types of fruits and vegetables. Check out the photo I uploaded... you won't believe how much I actually got for the price! It made us try new things we don't always eat, too. They also have a butcher attached, fresh local eggs, dairy, and more. One thing to note: if you're using a credit card, it does have to be for over $15. I'm so happy to have found this place and I look forward to stopping by as much as I can!

The waitress recommended both Greek omelette and the Western omelette. We ordered Greek omelette ($12.99) , with additional green peppers ($0.75) and mushrooms ($1). The portion is generous, sufficient for two persons. Coffee ($2.75) was okay to do the job. This is a homey spot to start your day. I'd recommend this for eggs and omelette!

I've been once and I already know I'll be back for more…read more My first visit was just for ice cream (dessert), I had already eaten at another restaurant in town. While I waited for my concrete with M & M's, I noticed all the good looking burgers being consumed on the patio. Some had fries and they were crinkle, which is my favorite style. Others had onion rings, which were from a bag and that's okay when you're a little drive-in style restaurant. I'm coming back for a double cheeseburger and fries. I didn't pay attention if there's an inside dining room, when I arrived everyone was on the front patio. I had the intentions of getting a twist cone of vanilla and chocolate, but when I went to order, a small concrete with M & M's came out of my mouth. Typically I ask if they use mini or regular candies, but today I forgot to ask. The reason I ask is, size does matter. Especially with M & M's in a concrete. Regular sized blend better and add more flavor. To my delight, they did use regular sized and I'm going to say something, that I rarely say. My concrete had too many M & M's. The deeper I ate into my concrete, the candies became thicker with each bite. Yes, it was delightful, but in this case less could have been better. The staff were young, professional and friendly. Customers order at one window and pick-up at the next. They call out what your order was and a few times they called out a persons name. I'm assuming they are regulars, or being a small town, everyone knows each other. Watch for an update, about my burger and fries.

It fits into the town well, it is well kept, but doesn't really stand out. I almost drove by, but the GPS saved us. You see the outdoor seating structure before you realize it is actually the restuarant. I am sure the local know exactly what and where it is. I had a cheeseburger with fries, and my wife got a corn dog and onion rings. The food came out pretty quickly, we sat inside to eat. All of the dishes were made correctly, not special, but certainly fresh. We also got soft serve cones, chocolate and vanilla. Very reasonable pricing on everything. The two young ladies working today were pleasant and welcoming. They work hard and know everyone (except for us, until today). I suspect we will be back over the years, we are just one town over.

I also found a home decorative item to complement our home while we were there and my sister selected a beautiful knit poncho and scarf. My only constructive feedback was the owner said St. Elmo was out of their standard delivery area which I found unusual considering it's only 13 miles away in aa rural part of the state. Something I think should be reconsidered. Ultimately the experience was very good.

Or do what I did, I strolled the square and experienced all the other local shops. Whenever I am in the historic town of Carlinville, I can guarantee you that I will be stopping by Hawthorn Tree.
