    Ski -  local drink. Like a Mountain Dew.
    Ron F.

    Stopped in another local joint! Right at 11 and the dual drive through was packed!! And I was one of those lucky ones to line up early. They had an extensive menu with plenty to choose from. Prices were very good since this is a small local place. Ordered a double cheese burger and a local favorite "Ski" for the beverage. Not a big soda drinker but had to try it. Much like a Mountain Dew but bottled locally and is the favorite in this area. Both were very good. I actually got my lunch very quickly and they ran it out to my car since it was ready before the persons in front of me, so I was able to get out of line and enjoy lunch without waiting. Did not go inside as I was heading to the airport. I'll stop back in when in the area next time. Good food... good mood!

    A perfect weather day... for a penguin!

    A locally home-grown joint that you won't find anywhere else. Love the penguin out front. We stopped in at lunch time and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Menu is very large so right away I knew that there must be a lot of frozen and pre-made foods but took a chance and was not disappointed. Wanting something light, we went for soup and chili, some fried pickles and soft drinks. They admitted the chili wasn't home-made but it was still very tasty as was the chicken noodle soup. Pickles were OK - maybe a little over-cooked. Lastly, the place is very neat and tidy! I'd definitely stop again next time I'm in the area.

    Banana Malt

    Ok, this was our 1st time and it won't be our last. We went to Trenton to pick out some lights and decided to stop at The King to see what all the fuss is about. The menu is extensive and a bit overwhelming so we stuck with the basic Double Cheeseburger, Fries, Onion Rings, A Banana Malt and Lemonade. These were the best burgers around. JummHot and Juicy. The fries were crispy as well as the onion rings. The Lemonade was Real Lemonade!! The Banana Malt was so good make sure you get it with Real Bananas. There are 2 locations one in Trenton and one in Breese. This place was so good even the Hubby said he would drive the hour to eat here again... We have a Winner!!

    Blue Raspberry Ski!

    Dairy King is one of my all time favorite places to eat. The food is always so good and the prices are all amazing for what you are getting. They have a huge selection and variety of different foods to pick from so there is something here on the menu for everyone! Don't forget your Blue Raspberry Ski!

    Onion rings were good.

    Grilled chicken bacon Caesar wrap is amazing about 75% of the time. Would be 5 stars if made more reliably.

    It's a great spot in a small town serving fantastic food in good portions at amazing prices!…read more When you walk in you can see the care they take in cleaning and polishing everything, so you get a turn of the century vibe and that feeling that it's been around for a long time. Staff immediately seat you with a menu with the usuals for Illinois farm country AND there's always a few fish items of the menu (fish fry every Friday in German Catholic communities!). I stopped I. For lunch and had an amazing Reuben on toasted rye with house chips for $8.95! Perfect size, the meat wasn't fatty, and a surfeit of chips! My companion had their pulled pork on brioche; the sauce was was the right mix of tangy and sweet, and the pork was tender and juicy! (Lots of places have dry pork dressed up with a ton of sauce.) Enough space for a small to medium office lunch with quick and attentive staff, great prices, and a slow small town vibe--this place is worth the back country drive.

    Steaks were perfect, sweet potato too! Green beans were fine, husband liked his asparagus.

Our server Hailey was very bubbly and welcoming from the start. She made sure we took our time to figure out what we all wanted. Took my dad out for early father's day lunch. We all got sweet tea. Husband went with the all you can eat chicken option. Which they do that on Wednesdays and Sundays. You can mix/match dark or white meat. You get all the sides. Dumplings, mashed potatoes, greenbeans, corn, coleslaw, and apple sauce. He was full and definitely enjoyed the chicken. My dad did the chicken meal 2 dinner with 2 sides. I have food left over for later. I was so full. Food came out in timely manner. And for what we paid in total with 3 people wasnt too shabby. Theor parking lot is off to the side and wraps around l. They do have aome street side parking. Or some park across the way in a lot. Good ol days Is a staple in new baden. When you're burnt out on going to chains like cracker barrel. You forget about the small mom and pop restaurants. You like hometown vibes and southern food. Come check them out. I mean their slogan does say ' good so good you'd think we stole your grandma!!"

In addition to their regular menu, DPH always has a Weekly Special Menu. Once I saw what the weekly special pasta was, I had to have it. I am a huge fan of Smoked Salmon and they did theirs in house. The pasta not only had the smoked salmon, it also had sautéed red onion, a tangy European style cream cheese sauce and cavatappi pasta with fried cappers and fresh dill. The cream sauce was perfect. It was just a light covering, enough for flavor without being overwhelming. As always, the portion was healthy, so I had leftovers for the next days lunch. I enjoyed it chilled and it was like eating a cold pasta salad. DPH always gets bonus points from me for having eco-friendly to-go vessels. My adult beverage of choice for the seafood pasta, was a glass of Pinot Gris. I prefer a Grigio, but they only had the Gris. Gris is fairly similar to Grigio. I always say, it's like a first cousin, once removed. Service is always top-notch. It doesn't matter if you are sitting at a table or the bar, you'll be treated right.

Every time we visit this town we try to get in a meal or at least take home one of their handmade pies or cookies. They rotate staff a lot but the food is always the same so it's a good bet you will have a good meal. Don't forget they do a great job catering!

    Passed through Effingham IL again and decided to commence my 30 minutes + off duty break here…read more Low-Key truck stop next door to Niemerg's Steakhouse is the Speedway; the startegy is park your rig there and walk over to this landmark. Haven't not been inside this restaurant ever, i kept an open mind I didn't know what to expect. Theres apparently three dine in area options. You have a whiskey, bar lounge that probably the likes of General MacArthur would patronize for food and cigars like at the Historical Manila Hotel in Manila Philippines. Then you have the open dining room where you seat yourself and it was reminiscent to an Army Chow Hall...sort of with retro 80s decor. And lastly, I chose the Salad Bar room with a booth seating. Server Jessica was fantastic! Went through the standard protocols with me; I was really enjoying the vibes at this place. It's very Mahogany, 1960s - 1980s feeling, almost like that steakhouse Warren Buffet likes to go to in Omaha Nebraska. Very community family oriented, quiet, really quite different than any restaurant or diner you patronize in a city like Los Angeles. A lot of retired folk here and truly, you feel like you been thrown back in time to the 80s and early 90s in some sense. So anyways on to the food. I'm going to state my opinion straight up, the salad bar hot food bar is the star of the show. In fact everything from the soup to the oven potatoes to the COLESLAW (Best Coleslaw Ever), reminded me of that once upon a time Soup Plantation that died during Covid....and the best part is the Cold and hot bar is all-inclusive with your main entree order. Yes you heard that right, you buy the resort tickets, and you enjoy your stay with unlimited cocktails at Cancun...I mean Neimergs... Now to the Iowa Premium Rib Eye Steak. To the kitchen staff: 2 minutes on the top side, 2 minutes on the bottom side. Bake in oven 1 minute on both sides. Done. Medium Rare. A perfectly good steak was destroyed because it came out well done. To future passerbys, skip the baked potato loaded if you decide to dine in at the hot and cold bar room. Last thoughts. I want to give the steak a 3 stars but the overall ambiance, the grandpappy grandma vibes and that overall feel like your dining at someone's home in farm country really elevated the entire experience. Plus the servers are all working their tails off. So I've rated this place a 4 stars. Think anyone on a road trip, or just driving their rig through town should give this historical site a visit. 1978 right? Or something like that. This place also has some of the freshest greens.
