You find…read moreyourself driving through VERY flat farmland and VERY small towns like St. Anne, Watseka, Hoopston, et al. But if you want to take a break, grab a beer and get some good homemade bar grill food, turn off the main drag (in this case, Highway 1) and go a block or two into the business district of Milford, where there is an awesome little bar with an upfront grill (the cleanest I've ever seen) dishing up homemade soup, awesome burgers and pub food, great deep fry, and some kind of daily special -- including a home made desert (we had awesome pumpkin bars but they usually have pie). On weekends they have crazy cheap steak, fish fry, and prime rib specials. You have to put up with the country music channel on the tv...(but on the flip side they have free wifi, so don't bitch). All in all it's clean, cheap, good, and friendly -- so why waste your change on fast food when you can get food fast, homemade good, and with a water back? It's the most pit-stop worthy place on a long empty haul where the only other attraction is an old corn silo with a tree growing inside it -- we call it the "Hannibal Lecter tree" and a big funny billboard for the "Hoopston corn jerkers." If you grew up a corn jerker, you NEED a friendly place like the Hangout. And it was even open on Easter! Hallelujah, brother, pass the fried pickles and corn nuggets!

After one particularly long and tiring hike, we decided to throw caution to the wind and stop in The Waveland Pub for a beer, and maybe a burger. The outside doesn't look like much, but it's actually got a cozy and fun vibe inside. The place was clean and the bartender was friendly and helpful. We got the burger and also decided to split the special of the day - a catfish plate. Wow! Were we ever pleasantly surprised by the food. It may not have been fancy, but it was fast, hot and DELICIOUS! Don't pass this place up! It offers fantastic bar food in a friendly and casual setting. We would def go back if we were ever in the area again!

I always hesitate to order steak from a restaurant because I know I can be very particular, but the ribeye was cooked perfectly... so tender and full of flavor! The owner was hands on and even brought me a small helping of their broccoli salad to try... they use cranberries instead of raisins and it was delicious! Everything was perfect! We will definitely be back!

Yet she continues to crack beers for other guests, who'd already closed out. Extremely rude, and the attitude I got was bitchy. I walked out and she closed the door behind me, so who knows what "specials" they do for regulars after-hours.
