    Corn beef skillet hash.
    Greg R.

    Visited HV while picking up bikes at Pacific Cycle. The atmosphere and service was really good. The workers were very nice. Not sure what the rules are in IL but no one was wearing masks. I got the philly omelet and my girlfriend got the skillet hash. The omelet we good. It was smaller than I expected but good. The skillet hash was average. But the food was hot and the service was good. It's a good place to grab some food.

    Four and a half, but since I didn't end up eating here, I'll bump it up. And why not a hands down five? Because the "spirits" side of the name is lacking. Luckily, they're building on next month and plan to expand that side of the business. The bar is currently tiny. I ordered the mango margarita, but they were out of mango and she used a mango substitute. I will mention that she didn't charge me for it in the end. And I ended with a regular margarita, which was good. They didn't have any IPAs on hand. They did have Sierra Nevada, which I would consider the closest thing that they had to a craft beer. The impressive thing here was the car theme and the cleanliness of the place. It was an old KFC building. They owner completely remodeled it, named it after her dad, and gave it the car theme. Love it! It's one of those places that I hope to see on a future episode of Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives. Although I can't comment on the food, I looked over the menu and seen several items while I was there, and it all looked just as impressive as the cleanliness and decor. The menu items were even car themed!

    I'm shocked there are no reviews for HV's on yelp yet? How can this be the first acknowledgement of a great sports bar and restaurant in Otown?? The decor is adorable! The menu is adequate. The prices are on the high end in Richland county. It I'd say the food quality is slightly better than the majority of offerings in the area. I ordered Caribbean dry rub wings and they were spicy without being overpowering - very good! Unfortunately, my mom's $19 medium rare ribeye arrived well done. She didn't eat it as it was too dry, so be very specific if you order beef, or stick to less expensive protein options. She did claim that the onion pie side was very good. Good luck HV's. We wish you success!

    I would give them 10 stars if I could! The service was IMPECCABLE which seems so hard to find the days. Decor is perfect for content, and the food was delicious. I got a kids meal which still had great portion size and the wings are .80 on Wednesday evenings! I look forward to spending football season here :)

    Country fried steak, scrambled eggs, hash browns and the best toast! I ordered an extra gravy for my hash browns.

    Stopped in for breakfast for the first time. Everything I ordered came out perfect. They even burnt my toast exactly the way I wanted it. I will definitely be returning for breakfast again!

    I was in Olney for a few days and stopped in. I was seriously surprised in the food for such a small town. It was .80¢ wing night so I sat at the bar and ordered a handful to start with their home made sauce. As I waited I noticed how well the whole staff worked together, they all seemed like a great team who must have been together for a long while, as they seemed to get along like family. When the wings arrived they were exceptionally good, meaty, cooked perfectly, and the sauce wasn't too hot to eat but still left my lips warm until my entree arrived. Amazing so far! I ordered the Rat Rod as it seemed different and I like different. Again, it was surprisingly good. For a little place in a little town, it's got to be the best around. The only regret I had was I was too full to try their Bread Pudding which is apparently their signature dessert.

    Basic mediocre pub style food prepared & served sub-par. Unfortunately, on Monday night this is the best Olney has to offer.

    Stopped in here on a Saturday night to check out the band that was playing. The place was not…read morecrowded at all. We were just staying for a bit, but then decided to order an appetizer as we were enjoying the band and were going to stay for a while. We ordered the Captains Supreme Nachos, which barely passed itself off as food. First when we ordered it we were asked if we wanted ground beef or chicken on it. We ordered ground beef. when we got our nachos it smelled like something was on fire. As we looked, the paper in the dish that the chips were on was burned on all edges, and some of the chips were burned as well. Why and how could you burn nachos. These were just regular chips, with a dab of cheese, enough to only cover about 3 chips, and a teaspoon of ground beef on it. It was topped with jalapeno peppers that were so hot it was almost dangerous. These nachos had NO flavor. They were the worst nachos I've had in my life. I've had better nachos from a bag at a little league baseball game for $3. Almost more ridiculous was the fact that these "supreme" nachos cost $9.95 and they charged us $2 more for a teaspoon of ground beef. What a double rip-off. Bad food at a high price. Our bill was $20 for lousy nachos, one captain and coke, and a 7-up. The only reason we gave this place one star is for the nice location on the lake, and the good band that was playing that night. We don't like throwing our money away and leaving unsatisfied. We will NOT be coming here again.

This is the American Sports Bar that you can picture in Dawson's Creek...or Smallville..it's country, very country, everyone within the 20 feet radius is blue collar, there's billiards, there's a digital juke box on the wall playing country and I think to myself...do bar fights happen in a place like this. Gawd, the local Illinois accents here...is like sitting in an episode of Boardwalk Empire listening to Al Capone and crew converse. So this is the Effingham they say... Ok the food. Yes, I came here for food. Was originally trying to navigate my way out of the Petro Truck Stop Parking Lot, having my rig parked over there, I was about to walk half a mile out to the other side of the freeway for that Advertised Chinese Buffet...but I couldn't find a walkway, and ran into this Chaser's building by accident. Accidents can be good. I sat down, looked through the menu, and picked up the ribeye steak, some fries, and lemon pepper wings. And I gotta say, it was a solid supper. Steak was cooked right, wings not overwhelmingly seasoned, and food was on par with if say you going to an Outbacks. I don't think I would've ever given this place a chance if I just looked up Yelp, it's 3.5 stars rating, because I most likely would have just glossed over the potential experience. And now that I've experienced this place....I may as well plan my trips next time so I camp in my rig overnight at the Petro in Effingham....that way I can get a few games of pool have a couple of IPAs, get a good dinner and really let loose for the night. So.... Until Next Time. #landoflincoln

Husband had grilled and fried chops dinner and I had a side salad and loaded potato. Pool table and some electronic darts. Wanted to sit at bar but decided on a booth. Took a few for service at first but after it was really relaxed and laid back. Looked like a tourney night for darts was scheduled. We didn't stay long enough. Husband raved about the chops. He especially liked the grilled and it was gone. The fried were my favorite l. Good crust and seasonings. I think they brine them so juicy chop. Green beans went just a little long and miss some resistance. The seasoning didn't come through. Good use of fatback. My lettuce was just wrong. I liked everything else on it but the lettuce had turned. There was some I was able to eat. I would suggest at least one main dinner portion salad. Could be basic and be customizable. The loaded potato was delicious! ate every bite but the skin. I wanted too but too much butter needed. My heart was thankful. Good cheese pull. 10/10 Overall, we will come back because it was a nice dinner. Felt like home bars should.
