We had a pre dinner drink at Wheat Penny last night, and the experience was overall enjoyable. We…read morewould definitely come back. We walked in around 4:15pm, and found an open private booth which was cool. The entire space is classy and I'd like to sit in the leather chairs in the back room next time. The drinks were good- a Carajillo and special "love potion". The booth had the ability to control our music volume which we enjoyed. The only hiccup is the menu said to "hit the button in your booth to order", we couldn't find the button. After waiting quite a while our waitress hadn't come back, so I went to find her and put our drinks in. She explained the booths no longer have buttons. No big deal, but we should have been approached sooner for our drink order versus having to go find her. All in all we still enjoyed our experience and will return.

Such a neat speakeasy! The decor is gorgeous and there are lots of private booths for rent…read more Although half the space was rented for a private event, there was plenty of seats open. Service was also great with super friendly bartenders! The margarita was delicious & they even had Tajin for the rim! They also have an incredible bourbon selection and flights available.

Love that they are pet friendly! Pet charge is minimal $ 25 compared to some of the other hotels…read more Check in was easy- nice and friendly staff. Rooms were quite colorful - it looks like they had recently been remodeled which was nice. Air conditioner smelled super musty with old dank air coming out. Had to turn it off as it smelled really bad. Sheets could also use an upgrade. Stains on the bedspread and stains on the sheet (blood stains) sheets and bedspreads normally give me the creeps, but finding stains- ewww. Fine place for passing through. Breakfast offered

The Dairy Bar is the reward we offer the kids for a job well done…read more We pass through Altamont on our way home from Lake Sara and stop from time to time, especially if we've worked hard on our fixer-upper lakehouse. We always get chocolate shakes---thick, rich, chocolate yumminess. I'm sure they're a caloric nightmare, so I just block those thoughts out. The "food" part of the menu looks to be heavy on the fried-side, with some salads, pizzas, etc. Keep thinking about the Walleye platter, though..maybe some day.

The cole slaw has always been amazing, and I love the chocolate chip cookie dough flurries and the chocolate milkshakes. I also enjoy just a regular hamburger.

Wow!! This place is amazing! If you like eating out at upscale restaurants, Modern Family Dinners…read morecan supply you with the same types of gourmet food right in your own home! I've copy cated food from nice restaurants, but by the time I buy all the ingredients, I've spent much more and have a bunch of extra ingredients that I won't use again!! I buy the meals for two and usually have left overs or our granddaughter helps us finish it! Lol! Deserts are awesome also!! I order online and then pick up on Saturdays. If I forget it on Saturdays I can pick it up on Mondays also. Very clean pick up location in Effingham! Would definitely recommend this business!

This is a beautiful little rest stop off I-70, with a patch of forest and park that has clearly…read morebeen here for a long time. The trees have to be at least 40 years old, and they have grown in thick enough that the ground stays in shade pretty much all day. Even in the middle of summer it feels ten degrees cooler once you walk in under them. There is old-school playground equipment here, the kind most parks replaced years ago. I doubt it gets much use. Nice to see a little window of how things were back in time. Picnic benches are scattered through the trees, so you can eat something you brought along instead of sitting in the car. The whole area is well manicured and groomed. Somebody is clearly still taking care of the place, which you do not always see at a stop like this. It makes for a genuinely peaceful break on a longer drive. The bathrooms are indoors, so even with snow on the ground you can use the facilities without freezing. They were clean when I stopped. There are vending machines in the back too, which came in handy for a quick snack before getting back on the road. If you are driving through, this one is worth pulling off for instead of pushing on to the next exit.

I'm usually not one to leave reviews, but in this case, I felt I needed to highlight the manager's…read moreover the top service. We drove through this small town of Greenup at around 1am on our way back home. Tired and exhausted, we decided to get a room. We tried another motel first, the front desk was obviously uninterested in working at that hour. The room they gave us had a musky odor and AC didn't work and we got attitude when we called about it. We decide to leave and find another place. Just down the road we saw Greenup Inn. We obviously woke the manager up, but much to our surprise, he was extremely helpful, checked us in and directed us to our room. I have to say the exterior may not be much to look at but the rooms were really nice for a small town motel. However, what happens next made me a customer for life. Our 3 month old baby was colicky and my husband had to get some sleep so I stepped outside the room at 2am to calm the baby down and not disturb my husband. The manager heard the baby crying, noticed I was outside; he immediately opened the office, invited me in and offered the place to me as long as I needed even made me some tea from his own kitchen. He stayed up with me for the next 2 hours until my baby fell asleep. Is this small town hospitality or just good people that go over and beyond?? Whatever is it, I'll be staying at Greenup Inn every time I make this trip, which is 3x a year!

If she ever would have treated anyone disrespectfully, I would have stopped working with her as that would have affected my own professional reputation.

I HIGHLY recommend Alicia Schuette Photography for any photo needs you have.
