Had a delightful weekday lunch here on a recent road trip. I went with the pork tenderloin "shoe."…read more If you aren't familiar with the "shoe" it's a mid Illinois thing with Texas toast, topped with your choice of protein, fries, and your choice of sausage gravy or cheese sauce. Each element of the plate was great, good tenderloin, lightly battered, crispy fries, and outstanding cheese sauce. They were very busy with the local crowd, including a couple of tables of card players. Just one employee and a cook holding down the fort, but they managed well. Wish I knew what was in that cheese sauce.

Enjoyed lunch here today. I had read local reviews so we gave it a shot, only 30 minutes or so…read morefrom our house. The service was efficient, polite, a single woman running the front and one cook. Our food came out pretty fast. It wasn't that busy when we first got there right at noon, but the numbers grew as we wrapped up. I got a pork tenderloin sandwich w/ fries and my wife got a shrimp basket. The meals were good, and a pleasant lunch. We will certainly come back and try some other things. The fries and my BPT were a bit overcooked for my personal taste but certainly not burned or inedible. The place itself is quite nice, a big old building with lots of old wood and brick. The decoration style is simple, a few knick knacks, some model ships.

The only thing I ordered was the salad bar and a order of fries... I didn't think I could go wrong…read more BUT.... The salad bar was terrible, the lettuce smells of chemicals and the macaroni salad had a cheep plastic taste, cottage cheese taste like plastic too, even the Coleslaw wasn't homemade... Nothing homemade at all anymore on the salad bar... and the place was had a minimal amount of people for a Friday night at dinner time, especially when the people used to be hanging from the ceiling before waiting for a table.
