What better way to burn 14 hours than spending a couple of them at the neighborhood juke joint? Grabbed some butter and garlic wings, cheese fries, and an IPA. Bar food done well and service with a smile. Can't beat a taste of local Americana. Tips: Disregard the wonky Yelp hours and drop by if you're hungry - they were def open on a Wednesday.

When I asked the waitress does that how you serve bacon she said" oh yeah, it does look pretty raw" you should see that when you pick it up from the window and bring it to the customers!! a sausage smelled like it sat in a freezer for five years and it was gray. It was disgusting. The eggs were runny when I asked for over medium. The waitress was very nice, but should've caught the raw bacon when she brought it out to us. The kitchen looks absolutely disgusting. I don't know how people eat here. I will never come back here. It's just nasty.

We had lunch here today…read more My wife ordered a Ruben, I ordered a Bollinger burger topped with pulled pork and onion rings. We also ordered one Diet Coke and one unsweetened iced tea. My wife graded the Reuben five stars. She said it was very tasty and she enjoyed the crispy toasted bread. I can only give my burger with toppings three Stars. The pulled pork was OK, not as smoky or flavorful as I like. The burger was well done... Although I might've been able to ask for it with a different level of doneness? The coleslaw was OK, but I prefer it not so watery. The potato chips were excellent. The service was excellent, prompt and thorough. The meals were served on metal cooking sheets with parchment paper liners. Interesting plating method but the cold metal cooking sheets soon made the hot sandwiches cold too. Would have been better if the metal cooking sheets were pre-warmed up. Cost of meal was $42 + gratuity

Drinks came out right away, and the service was attentive throughout our meal. I had the steak and eggs with house potatoes and toast. While I'm not sure it was actually ribeye as listed, it was tasty and well-priced. The brunch burger was also a hit, no complaints there! They offer a tempting variety of baked goods, including coconut cake, red velvet, and rice crispy treats, plus a fridge full of pies. You can also grab a T-shirt for $20 to celebrate their 40th anniversary. I'm planning to come back for lunch soon to try their award-winning chicken. Bonus: there's plenty of parking in the back.

First of all, I am very surprised and disappointed by the negative reviews that I have seen here. I…read morehave eaten here once or twice a month for 30 or so years. Did anyone else notice that most of the malicious reviews appear to be from some "ficticious" school teacher/chaperone, many of them from California? The buffet here has always been very good; the vegetables tasty and firm, the meats very good and the desserts have always been excellent. The desserts include; pies, jello, puddings, cobblers, cookies, brownies, cheesecakes and iced cakes. I have never seen such a huge variety of desserts (almost always about two dozen varieties) at a buffet before. I have never seen dirty plates or silverware either. I have never become ill from the food and the place has always been clean. The salad bar has always been fresh and tasty, with a huge variety of toppings and dressings.. If the food was so bad and making people sick, the parking lot wouldn't be packed every single time that I have been here in 3 decades. I think a lot of the bad reviews show serious and vicious anti conservative/anti christian bias that liberal "Karens and Kevins" embrace. Some of the negative comments about the appearance of employees are just vicious. I have never had a bad or poor meal here. I have never become ill from eating the food. It has never been dirty there in any way. The malicious, deceptive and vindictive reviews reveal a deep seated psychological disconnect with reality and cognitive dissonance in some of the reviewer's minds. This is a clean, safe place to eat, the food is always very good, the prices are reasonable and the staff has always been pleasant and responsive for the past 30 years that I have been there.

Do not come here. Also encountered a situation in which a older chubby woman was screaming at a worker about some sort of shrimp beverage. I believe it was shrimp flavored heavy whipping cream. The woman was pretty freakin pissed and it was extremely concerning in the view of her mental health. Sending my best wishes to Bonnie, she may never recover from this incident. Anyways, you can come here if you want just don't come if they are selling shrimp cream. That is an accident waiting to happen. Lemonade is good. Please call 630-544-1562 if you have concerns, I'm willing to give out more info if needed

I was in this…read morearea briefly over a weekend and learned about this place on the Roadside America app because there is a taxidermied lion (!!) in the dining room. We didn't have time to have a meal, but we had to stop in and admire the Lion-themed interior. But the small wafting from the kitchen made us get garlic knots for the drive home. So the decor is a 10/10...and so are those knots. They were amazing - great dough, amazing amount of garlic and a phenomenal garlic knot all around. We were a far distance away before we ate them and were disappointed we didn't get more. Next time for sure!

We were in the area for work and the place at the top of the hill that I used to go to closed, however, the handy yelp app suggested Pizza Leone. When I pulled up, I remember having driven by many, many times but it never looked open -- and didn't today, either. But it was! This is a family-owned shop and two brothers and a sister, at least, were working. The young man who took our order was beyond friendly and we loved meeting him and having him take our order and then bring out our order. We got italian subs, an order of fries, and a small pizza. Everything was delicious! I promised I'd be back again but our work concluded so I may not be back for a while but I'll remember to visit when I am. Thanks for a great meal, prepared quickly, and especially for the wonderful service.

So this is a local place as far as a I know but I hope y'all haven't been bought out or something…read morebecause the quality has declined A LOT over the past year. I live in the area and I've eaten here a good bit. I've ordered crab dip continuously for like 3 years now and I won't order it again due to the last few times i've gotten it. There used to be a considerable amount of meat in the dip so i'd order it and then get fries on the side as my entire meal. Last time I got it there was not one piece of meat in the entire container. literally just cream cheese and whatever else. I had to make another meal for myself because I felt there just wasn't enough protein or nutrients in my food. and I paid like $15 for it! not doing that again. I also recently tried getting the grilled chicken wrap. I ordered it to go with sweet potato fries and a sweet tea. I received regular waffle fries and an unsweetened tea, which wasn't even the most upsetting thing about my order. The wrap barely had any chicken in it! the bits were so tiny. It was a wrap of basically just tortilla and lettuce, some tomato, almost as much tomato as there was chicken. it's really sad how bad everything has gotten that even the local places you thought weren't changing, end up feeling really shitty.

We were staying at Liberty Mountain Resort, so the location was incredibly convenient. The ambiance is classic modern American, with beautiful views of the golf course and a gorgeous patio complete with a large fire pit -- perfect for relaxing. Service was friendly and helpful, though there were a few hiccups with our bill since we requested separate checks for such a large group. The food was just okay -- nothing fancy, just straightforward American classics. We sampled the chicken wings, elote nachos, brownie sundae, and strawberry shortcake. Drink selection was great. All were fine, but nothing really stood out. Overall, a pleasant spot with great convenience and atmosphere -- worth a visit if you're in the area, especially for the setting.
