Great place to chat it up with the locals and have a yummy burger that will remind you of the diners we all grew up on. I'd definitely stop back in next time I'm in the area.

Trust me -- their "Hammered Hog" pork tenderloin is about to become the stuff of legend. I'm from Bloomington, IL -- land of tenderloins so big they barely fit on the plate (looking at you, Schooners). So when I say this one is worth crossing state lines for, I mean it. The "Hammered Hog" is pounded flatter than my wallet on payday, seasoned like grandma's Sunday dinner, and so tender it could make you question your loyalty to your hometown tenderloin. It's a hidden gem -- or maybe a hidden hog? Either way, pull over, grab a seat, and get ready to loosen your belt. You'll thank me later. Kudos to Amber F. with the welcoming service and recommendations!

Went in during lunch hours while on our way to Northern KY. We are well versed in "hole in the…read morewall" type places but this was way beyond what we thought it would be. The people working there were nice. As we were waiting for our food, a gentleman carrying bug spray came through spraying along where the floor meets the walls throughout the entire place. Another person came into the bar area and did something with a machine on the wall and put a syringe full of stuff in/around the outlet, which lead to a cockroach that crawled up the wall and went under a sign on the wall. Food was average bar food but based on all that happened before getting our meal, we should've walked out without eating.

Your second visit they will ask if you want the same thing you had last time. To be fair, there's one young bartender that sits on her phone more than she works. But, I've been told you'll have that. She's nice but you find yourself waiting longer than you should for service. The food is hands down awesome! You wouldn't think it would be anything crazy but it's consistent and good every time we go in. My friends love the wraps, burgers and I'm a fan of really anything I've had there. The wait for the food isn't bad when you consider they have one person on staff that tends the bar, tables and food. Yes, it's a lot of fried foods, but the lettuce, tomatoes and other items are fresh! As far as the feel, or "ambiance"... it's a bar. It's an awesome small town bar feel where everyone that stops in probably knows one another. Everyone is friendly to one another and those from out of town are always welcomed. Stop in and give it a try.

There comes a time once a summer season where a group of 6-10 F**kin' Illinois People (FIPS, as I…read morehear we are referred to) migrate from the bustling city of Chicago to the small beach town known as Monticello, IN. You see, a large group of us college friends living in the city, and some new friends we've picked up along the way, enjoy visiting our friend from college working her dream job in the dreamy Hoosier State. Our plan is simple: travel by car to the land of "two-bedrooms with parking, a yard, in-unit washer/dryer, and a dishwasher for $400 a month", load up on sustenance, cruise on the boat in Lake Shafer all day, get silly, take over a bar, and make decisions that should only be made by freshman college girls. Our usual poor decision spot closed a few months ago and, this time around, Sayler's became our latest watering hole debacle. And so begins my open letter to Sayler's. Dear Sayler's, Thanks for gracefully dealing with the presence of by 6 FIPS and our 4 local friends this past weekend. From the moment we hit the boat at 11AM Saturday morning we knew that any establishment in the Monticello area would be "happy" to have us as patrons. Your close proximity to our home base made you an easy target for our debauchery and fun that we surely brought. Your $12 beer buckets and less than $3 shots insured that we would be even more fun than we already were by giving us crazy amounts of liquid courage. This helped us negotiate with the DJ when choosing songs for the bar (we were sad to find out he did not have "Midnight Train to Georgia"), populate what was a vacant dance floor, and demonstrate to the rest of the bar patrons how to do planking exercises in multiple places throughout the bar. I can only hope that we were not only a fun presence to be around, but that we also taught your customers important fitness techniques. Although we felt we may have overstayed our welcome by the end of the night (thanks to the girl who tried to "start something" in the bathroom with a friend), thankfully we had one friend who was able to keep us in check, offer a shield or protection, and help us get on our merry way. We still hope you welcome us back the next time you are in town. Signed, Me PS Terri, I hope you had a great 50th birthday party. We sure had fun!
