I thought there poor…read moreservice was because of the color of my skin but after speaking to other people in Franklin Grove they have poor service for anyone that not a regular. The bartender was a Capital B! She was snotty and rude! We waited 15 to 20 minutes to get drinks people came in after us. They were served their food and we're done eating and we never got ours so we walked out. I can't comment on the food because we never got it. They ran after us after we sat there for more than an hour, and our food was up by that time we were over it we gave our business to a local church and their food was excellent, and their service was even better.

Service was good and fast, so no complaints there. I didn't try any of the beers (sorry, you're gonna have to find another review for that) overall, we'll go back and would recommend them again.

We were in town to see a performance at the Vince Carney Community Theater, and found Acres Bistro…read morethanks to Yelp. Other than having to deal with a freight train that stopped on the tracks right as we were trying to get to the restaurant from the theater, and having to go way out to the west end of town to get around it, everything about our experience was superb! I'm pretty sure we were seated by the owner, who was amazing to talk to. You could tell she loved what she did and what they provide to their customers. She put us in the charge of the bartender, who brought our drinks, took our orders, and checked on us regularly throughout the meal, even though she was doing double duty. We had a large lunch, so we weren't going to eat much for dinner. As soon as I read the menu I realized I was going to have a hard time deciding, but I love cinnamon ice cream, so I knew I needed to leave enough room for dessert. I ended up ordering the grilled cheese, which came with bacon (hold the tomato), and the homemade chips as my side. Everything was delicious. I brought half of my meal home, and it was just as delicious when reheated with my air fryer a few days later. My husband had the Acres Pretzel, which was huge and yummy. (I had a bite to try it!) The cheese sauce with it was thinner than expected, but very good. We started out with a Manhattan for me and some Lena Brewing caramel pecan coffee stout for him. Mine was perfectly crafted, and I took a sip of his, which was also yummy. In addition to my cinnamon ice cream, we each had a dessert drink. He had the Chocolate Caramel Kiss, and I had the Banana Bread. Again, very yummy. The cost of all of this came to under $75, which we thought was marvelous. Coming out from the city, the prices here are definitely more reasonable and much appreciated! We have this restaurant on our radar now, so anytime we are out this way again, we will head there. We are already making plans to come out and see a show next summer, if not before that. To the owner and all the other staff, thanks for such a lovely experience! You have a wonderful establishment!

Got the sampler for a late lunch and shared it among the three of us (we expected to eat light)…read more Was $37. Our sides were sweet potato tots and cole slaw. Given it's double the price of a single meat platter, I expected it to comfortably feed two. On the platter were two solid ribs, a quarter dark chicken, and one hot link which were all solid sharing portions. Brisket which I understand would be one of the more expensive items - was one slice plus a sliver of a dry end attached to it. I'm not sure if that's one slice or a one slice plus what one was counting as a second slice. This was a disappointing mark - I thought about asking the server about whether we should have at least a full second slice. Pulled pork - to me is a much less expensive item compared to brisket - yet a relatively small amount. Not as egregious as the easily measured brisket. Cole slaw - even if it was made in house as opposed a commercial bulk supplier, this is a low cost item no? Small dish. Quality is very good - just a question of the quantity. Tap water here seems filtered for neutral taste. It was a nice day on a quiet Sunday afternoon so we opted to get seated outside on the patio with umbrella shade. Traffic going by was light and quiet. Two servers available during the lull while we were there and the worked as a team to check on us outside.

When you walk in, you get a kind of sports bar / restaurant vibe. We were greeted and seated quickly, and started looking at the menu. There were sooooo many good things available - I decided to get their Chicken Fingers and Pulled Pork combo. My wife just got the chicken fingers. We started with an order of cheese curds. There were only two of us, and this was an order big enough for four. We toughed it out - the cheese was mozzrella with a very light batter, kind of tempura. The cheese curds were served with ranch dressing, and were fresh out of the fryer. The main courses came later, and when I saw my plate, I thought - DANG - I should have just ordered this for both of us. It was big enough to feed two people - large portions (full portion) of chicken fingers, full portion (6 ounces) of pulled pork, and a large portion of fries. The chicken fingers came with a creamy sauce for dipping - I liked it, my wife wasn't a fan. No worries, I used hers. Service was very good, the food was excellent, and they kept the glasses full. There is outdoor seating so you can be out looking at the sun, and they even have a shaded section. We'll be back - it was good.

The baked potato was huge and cooked perfectly. I saved my salad for tomorrow's lunch. While I was waiting for my food, I saw several people pick up their food and two parties arrived to dine in. All of this was going on at 5:30pm which spoke volumes to me. The owner was so incredibly friendly as we talked while I was waiting for my food. It's a nice place to dine in with family and friends.
