Service here is great, just what you would expect in rural IL. Julie was amazing. Very kind folks…read morejust hard-working family people serving you here. Ambience is tight. Lots of interesting stuff hanging on the walls, although that moose is a misrepresentation, you can't put double horns in there and expect people not to notice. Really what I loved the most was the cash register they had behind the bar. The food was OK. Not great.! first of all the meat was phenomenal. I had the New York strip. But the salad and all the sides were worse than a cafeteria. Like really really poor. It doesn't increase food cost that much to throw a little mixed greens in your salad so it's actually healthy. Overall, I had a great experience but it's because I love good steak. Personally, I think high-quality sides make or break a restaurant.

We were looking for dinner, and I suggested going here again. It had been a while…read more This is a place where you have pens and menus at the table, and you mark your table number and what food you want. We started with their cheese curds. I was so hungry and they were so tasty that I forgot to "feed" the camera first. We both got the same burger - a Single Knuckle Burger with pepperjack cheese, along with lettuce, tomato, onion. My wife ordered their loaded Bloody Mary, which was very good - it's a shoe-in to win the Best of Ogle County if people try it. The burgers were very good. They now have a draft beer, so I ordered one and it tasted fine. This is basically a side of the road bar and restaurant, ambiance wise. Nothing fancy, but not run down either. Just good food.

Got some drinks and food from this rowdy Oregon bar. It actually happens to be just outside of…read moretown, which is good, because folks would be complaining about the hollering and motorcycles. Sledgehammers is a place that's mostly known as a biker bar but everyone is welcome. Mostly that is. There's a bar and dining area inside, and outside they have a big stage. Came in and it wasn't crowded. It's because it was too early for the rabble rousers. This place gets crazy busy when it's later and there's a big ass party on stage. Of course that's when it's warm enough. They have outdoor concerts in summer. It's about $6 for whiskey, any kind. We got the good stuff because it's the same price as the cheap stuff. It's about $8 for appetizers. These include onion rings and tater tots. Entrees include burgers and other meaty items. The prices are okay for portions. Has a lot of biker stuff inside that's sure to interest those interested in chrome. It's pretty quiet around here weekdays so they have kind of limited hours. They're closed from Mondays to Wednesdays.

I was only there for a short time and ordered the cheese curds. They were very good and there was…read moreplenty of them. Their food and drinks are well priced. There is no table service and you need to pick up your own food. That's a little weird because they looked staffed for it but anyway, they were still friendly. The place is awesome! Very large place with areas for bands and gaming. The restrooms are small. They're clean but very close contact and you'll be relieving yourself very closely to your buddies. A place this big should really look into large restrooms with space and privacy. I'm looking forward to visiting again so they can get that 4th star once I actually get some food and listen to a band. This place looks like a lot of fun!

Ah, good old Cub and Spanks…read more.. Now I've only been coming here for the past couple of months, but they fulfill a couple of requirements I require in a bar. 1) cheap drinks. And I don't mean this place is the kind of establishment that serves drinks in red solo cups, they serve them in regular plastic tumbler cups, and they're not bottom shelf garbage liquids either. A Jameson and Ginger ale will set you back a whopping $4. I feel like I'm stealing from the bar when I drink here! This is a good thing. 2) conversational level of crowd noise. This place has never been so loud that I couldn't hear the person I was sitting with, granted, we haven't come here on a Friday or Saturday night, so consider that the asterisk. I prefer a place where u don't need a bullhorn to talk to someone 3 feet away. 3) shuffleboard table. This place will always have a special place in my heart since I popped my shuffleboard cherry here on September 30th after closing out Charter Fitness. However, they've since replaced the old board with a new-fangled board with the prison bars that come up in the middle to avoid free plays, and the table is but crooked. Not that I'm a cheapskate and try to play for free, but the sand gets stuck in the holes so when you start a game, you have to manually push the bars in in order to allow your pucks to slide freely from end to end. I know, I know, #firstworldproblems 3) jukebox. Since the beginning if time, man has attempted to push forth their culture on those around them, and this is the perfect way to do it. You can even control the jukebox from your phone! Well, your smartphone at least. I don't think your Motorola StarTAC is going to help you out here, nor will your Nokia 8200. 4) regulars. You will see the same people day in day out here, whatever day of the week. They may or may not remember that you had a conversation about whatever you had a conversation about, but they're friendly. Or you can chalk it up to this place being a townie bar, but I won't call it that. Come to Cubbies, sidle up to the bar, and maybe drop a buck on a game of shuffleboard or two. If I'm there, say hello and challenge me to a game. I might show you a thing or two. Or not. I've only been playing for a couple if months...
