The three sides we sampled were also fabulous 'Olive You More' antipasto is packed with interesting and diverse ingredients in an Italian style marinade/dressing. Green olives, black olives, cauliflower, cheese chucks, Pearl onions and more. 'Apple Pie Beans' are scrumptious. A variety of beans in an excellent sauce with a bit of a kick. Apples are soft and perfect. 'Sweet Potato Salad' is delish. Don't let the stairs or appearance fool you into not stopping and dining. Or stop for a cold beer and river views. Thanks Mike!

I was interested in trying their boba milk tea drinks. It was around noon and I already had my fill of coffee so I opted for a fruity option - kiwi popping boba and mango jellies in almond milk. It was delicious. I'll have to remember for my next fruity drink that the jellies are preferable over popping bobas :) I love the traditional tapioca boba though with my normal milk tea. So many options for drinks though! The spritzers are popular right now and they have that option as well. Service was good.

This sandwich shop and coffee bar has a fun industrial and vintage charm, and plenty of seating throughout the location. The location was also well lit and airy, and I loved the exposed brick walls and fun eclectic frames along the walls. The service was also excellent and the girls who worked here were so sweet and helpful! My boyfriend and I both got the reuben and our friend got a chicken wrap. Both of them said they enjoyed their meals, and I thought my reuben was excellent and much preferred to typical road trip fast food stops. It was genuinely the perfect stop midway from Nebraska to Chicago, and a nice opportunity to stretch our legs and have a refreshing and filling meal. I would definitely recommend to try Big Bill's!

Got to say the lunch menu has more options. The prices are pretty okay for portions. Best place to get a sandwich or wrap around. It's a charming old place with plenty of seating.

A pretty filling thing stuffed with lots of it. There also was cucumbers and spinach. For sure it's a great place at breakfast. It's got a lot more options at lunch. They're closed Tuesdays.

I felt compelled to leave this review because exceptional service like hers deserves to be recognized. From the moment we sat down, Lexi was attentive, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. She had an answer to every single question we asked -- not just about the menu, but about the business itself. She knew so much about Bread & Vine that I genuinely thought she might be the owner. That level of pride and understanding is rare and speaks volumes about her professionalism. What really stood out was how accommodating and engaging she was. She made thoughtful recommendations, not only for food and drinks, but also for other places to visit and things to do around Galena. It truly elevated our entire experience. Because of her suggestions and the way she described everything so well, we ended up ordering (and purchasing) more than we originally planned -- simply because we trusted her recommendations. Lexi is the kind of employee every business hopes to have. She represents Bread & Vine with confidence, warmth, and expertise. She absolutely deserves recognition -- and in my opinion, a raise -- for the way she goes above and beyond for guests. I hope she sees this and I hope this reaches someone as important as her. We'll definitely be back, and a big reason why is Lexi.

We had them cater our wedding and about 50 people didn't get to eat because there was no food left. We had to order pizzas for our guests that didn't get food and did not get reimbursed for the cost.

They claim they served 350 people, but we did the math and there was only 332 people that attended.
