This is a great, well-stocked liquor store for a pretty small town. Most of the alcohol sold seems to be at big-box stores like WalMart and the selection is pretty standard. Lion's has a lot of craft beer and the owners/employees are knowledgeable about flavors, pairings, etc. so you can ask a lot of questions. We called ahead of a trip to a nearby cabin and ordered a keg. They had a bunch of options and they were pretty inexpensive (especially compared to Chicago). The keg had been set aside and was waiting when we arrived. We paid a $50 deposit on the tap and they carried the keg to the car for us. We were able to get ice and cigarettes so we completed our entire shopping trip here. Returning the keg was really easy and we got our deposit back immediately. We were basically in and out of there quickly both times we visited and we were really happy with the service and friendliness of everyone there. We also got to see the owner's lovely boxer dog and she was super cute and loved pets. I always love a good store pet. read more

The manager (owner?) is a very nice guy. He was able to refund my money when we didn't tap all of our kegs. He is very easy to get ahold of and works quickly for the customer! They also have an excellent craft beer selection!!!! read more

Met Al, the store clerk, and he was very knowledgeable about craft beer which is the reason we stopped. He explained what was popular and why some beers had lengthy brewed on dates (they sat at distributor months before arriving at his store). Store had been posting daily updates on beermenus.com and had stopped doing so in June 2016 and that needs to change cuz I stopped for a beer (Bur Oak Big Tree IPA) and they had it in June but no longer had it in stock. . Instead I picked up 2 four packs of brews from URBAN CHESTNUT including the just released Octoberfest marzen. Good job on the wide selection of Octoberfest beers. Fix the lengthy brewed on dates of Half Acre Daisy Cutter etc. and this place will be 5 stars. Loved the store's cleanliness and the ice cold beer cave with plenty of Michelob Ultra (my wife's favorite) and 40 ounce bombers of Bud Light, Miller High Life and Mickey's. This place is easy off and back on interstate 57. If you're a beer geek, I highly recommend this place. read more

Just passing through on my way back to Pennsylvania and found this here on Yelp. Our hotel was just…read more1-1/2 miles away. Great wines with decent, large pours and good prices. Amazing wall of bourbons! My husband went nuts! A whole other room of wines too. Had to stay out of there! You can order Mexican food. I got two tacos which were fantastic and an order of nachos and it cost me only $11! The atmosphere and ambiance is so inviting. The employees were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. This place is amazing! I wish I lived closer!

Fantastic experience. Made one of the best manhattan I've had & phenomenal bourbon selectionread more

Their system does not hold the item in your cart so unfortunately many people bought these items only to receive an email minutes later saying the order is cancelled. They have plenty of bottles they could honor to those this happened to but they just said sorry and feel that's good enough. They have lost my business and most likely quite a few others.

There is a limited selection of beers, wines and the usual basic liquors. If you're looking for a good variety of imported or micro brewery beers, a fine wine or some high end liquor, or Jose Cuervo 1800, Especial, you're not going to find it here. The wait staff is nice, helpful, and the drive up window seems to be the preferred way of getting your fix.

We walked in and loved to see the plants and the genuine decoration in the place. The woman who took our order was nice and patient. We asked for light ice and were given that. I ordered a dirty chai and YES! Has a great chai flavor and overall lovely balance between sweet and spice. Danny got an Americano which he says is really good and smooth. We even got to draw flowers while waiting for our coffee. It was quick and a great stop for us on our journey. Only comment is we got a sleeve on our cup that was unneeded because we both got iced coffees. We like to reduce waste!! Thanks so much!!!

They make the pizzas right there at the campground office. It smelled absolutely amazing in there. I wanted to give them a try as they've only got one yelp review and it looked like a pretty tough one. It seems like it's a prettier popular place around here so something had to be a mess. We ordered the 9 inch hot mother clutter because I love a good buffalo chicken pizza. She had it ready in 10 minutes and I had asked her to make the crust extra crispy and she did just that as you can see from my photo. Pricing was very fair at $10.50 for a 9 inch pizza. In full transparency, I did add a little drizzle of hot Frank's buffalo sauce because we like our pizzas extra spicy and I forgot to request that. Absolutely yummy pizza and if I lived anywhere near here, I would be back on a regular basis.

Pizza was amazing as always definitely my favorite place. The ingredients are so fresh and crust…read morewas perfect.Was impressed this evening with the great customer service. They are so friendly.
