I was waiting for Mel from Mel's diner to walk out from the kitchen scratching his backside. :) The staff knows all of the patrons by first name. The food was like grandma used to make and the coffee was great. Prices were good and the service was second to none If you're looking for a Starbucks kind of vibe this ain't the place. But if you want a good meal at a good price stop in. Staff is awesome Thanks guys. Can't wait to visit again Chicago Bob

We have only been in the area since early June. We are making our way around to the local area…read morespots. Debbie's caught my eye a few days ago. In the midst of a local heat wave, their A/C went down. I saw Debby (owner) post that they would close early out of concern for the safety of her people. I love good leadership where ever I find it. So that interaction pushed this diner to the top of the list. We went for lunch today. So glad, didn't get to meet Debby, but had a great time with the two young women holding down the fort who are great ambassadors for the Diner, their town, and their generation. They were both, effecient, pleasant, and engaging. My wife had the popcorn shrimp/fries. I got a patty melt/fries and coleslaw. Every item was simple, and well prepared. I liked the coleslaw, and I can be a harsh critic. The fries are those crispy battered kind, a favorite for both of us. We will absolutely be back, we live here now and need good dependable places. A town needs good, locally owned/staffed places, it is a connector, a community center. We will

This is probably the cleanest, nicest bar I've ever been to. They have like 8 pool tables including…read morea tournament table. They have darts, slot machines, and even a stage where concerts and karaoke happen. The food is awesome (breakfast/lunch/dinner all day), and the sound system is really good quality.

You pretty much have to come before 8:30 am if you don't have to wait very long. We started with a Bloody Mary which was the perfect amount of spice and not spicy! I went with the country fried steak. It was as big as my plate! My eggs and hash browns were on another plate. Big props for the great hot sauce as well! My dad got an omelette which was huge! He took home half. He really liked the hash browns. This is going to be my go to place for breakfast at U of I. The place was clean, the portions are huge, and the food is excellent.

The biscuits were soft and pillowy and the gravy was rich. My husband got the creme brule French toast. This was also super delicious and really sweet. I highly recommend Egg Republic!
