    Good BBQ. Cool weekend outdoor area for the summer and good service. Built into an old John Deere Dealership from the 30s.

    Hubby got the chicken, brisket, and sausage.

    The hubby is staying at a hotel in town because it's close to work. Anyhow, we stopped here for dinner. I had the chicken and rib platter but they were out of ribs so I was offered brisket as a substitute. My sided were garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli and cauliflower salad. The meat was prepared perfectly. The mashed potatoes were very flavorful. The salad was bland. No flavor, raisins, sunflower seeds, bacon bits or anything. The restaurant small and cold. Cute with decor but not comfortable with seating. Only counter service. He was pleasant and did the best he could. The prices were very reasonable. Will try another option and take it to go next time.

    Took a motorcycle ride here from Indiana. The set up is really cool. Open air bar in the center connected by a BBQ place and on the other side a bar/concert/ hall rental. Food was good. The bbq is the main money maker. I don't think it has any seasoning but the homemade bbq sauces make up for it when applied. The have fried green tomatoes. I don't think they are homemade but we're still good. BBQ ChipsBeef BrisketBarbeque

    I came on a recommendation also seeing that this place had a 4 star rating. I first asked to try their brisket and I did not like it at all. It lacked flavor & no smoke ring at all!! Smoke flavor non-existent sad but true. I ordered the pulled pork this had slight smoke flavor but it tasted like it came out Of a crockpot. Disappointed. My sides were home made chips and slaw. Chip were good and slaw was on the bland side not impressed. My company 9 total also agreed that our visit was disappointing. On top of a bad meal we had gnats flying around like crazy. Price was average. I cannot recommend this place. Last thing the cashier female was a crabby patty on the ignorant side.

    If you like beef brisket, get it here! Except for what we make at home, this is the best beef brisket! I love their Cherry BBQ sauce, but with 5 different varieties at every table, you are sure to find one you like too! I also love their coke slaw. It's crunchy and creamy. Perfection. The atmosphere is what you'd expect at an out-of-the-way smokehouse, but it's always clean. Put this on you "to do" list. It's not too be missed!

    Excellent pulled pork, ribs, and sausage. Brisket beans were some of best I've had. We definitely will be back

    Hangout - The very clean upfront grill.

    The drive between Chicago and Danville can be a long one...and there is no direct route. You find…read moreyourself driving through VERY flat farmland and VERY small towns like St. Anne, Watseka, Hoopston, et al. But if you want to take a break, grab a beer and get some good homemade bar grill food, turn off the main drag (in this case, Highway 1) and go a block or two into the business district of Milford, where there is an awesome little bar with an upfront grill (the cleanest I've ever seen) dishing up homemade soup, awesome burgers and pub food, great deep fry, and some kind of daily special -- including a home made desert (we had awesome pumpkin bars but they usually have pie). On weekends they have crazy cheap steak, fish fry, and prime rib specials. You have to put up with the country music channel on the tv...(but on the flip side they have free wifi, so don't bitch). All in all it's clean, cheap, good, and friendly -- so why waste your change on fast food when you can get food fast, homemade good, and with a water back? It's the most pit-stop worthy place on a long empty haul where the only other attraction is an old corn silo with a tree growing inside it -- we call it the "Hannibal Lecter tree" and a big funny billboard for the "Hoopston corn jerkers." If you grew up a corn jerker, you NEED a friendly place like the Hangout. And it was even open on Easter! Hallelujah, brother, pass the fried pickles and corn nuggets!

    Dont really know why this is listed under "Dive bars" because it is pretty classy. And there are 3…read moret.v.'s in there which are usually on 3 different sports channels. Yes all the food is homemade and every friday there is a fresh dessert made. This is a great place to eat and even bring the kids.

    Hangout - Save us from the Country Music Channel, but I bet they would have changed it if we asked.

    Hangout - The portable sign lists the specials...but the bud sign is all you will see from the road.
