Shorty's Restaurant in Watseka, IL…read more Do not bother going to this place to eat! We have ate here several times just me and Jodi M Marrs and we have ate here as a family with all six of our kids which are well behaved and quiet if you know us you know are kids are well behaved. In addition anywhere we eat I always clean the table once we are done with diner before we leave due to being such a big family servers don't get paid enough that's why I do this anywhere we eat and if you know us you know we always clean our table and in addition we still leave a tip. The problem with Shorty's: Is there service sucks, there rude, don't want to refill your drinks, and They throw attitudes when you ask for condiments like barbecue sauce, tartar sauce and so on. My daughter thats 12 years old asked for a refill and the cook was rude almost pushed her and said he didn't have time and the bartender/waitress was very rude to me when I asked her for a refill, she go's I guess and throw the recipe at me. Not a friendlyplace at all! I usually look past there attitudes but I'm sick of being a paying customer that gets treated like dirt in front of our kids and our kids getting treated like dirt. We go above and beyond cleaning our table and we spend lot of money there when we eat there. There food and prices are fantastic but not worth the way you get treated... Wont be going back there till they change there attitudes, there's plenty of other restaurants to choose from to eat at!!!

You find…read moreyourself driving through VERY flat farmland and VERY small towns like St. Anne, Watseka, Hoopston, et al. But if you want to take a break, grab a beer and get some good homemade bar grill food, turn off the main drag (in this case, Highway 1) and go a block or two into the business district of Milford, where there is an awesome little bar with an upfront grill (the cleanest I've ever seen) dishing up homemade soup, awesome burgers and pub food, great deep fry, and some kind of daily special -- including a home made desert (we had awesome pumpkin bars but they usually have pie). On weekends they have crazy cheap steak, fish fry, and prime rib specials. You have to put up with the country music channel on the tv...(but on the flip side they have free wifi, so don't bitch). All in all it's clean, cheap, good, and friendly -- so why waste your change on fast food when you can get food fast, homemade good, and with a water back? It's the most pit-stop worthy place on a long empty haul where the only other attraction is an old corn silo with a tree growing inside it -- we call it the "Hannibal Lecter tree" and a big funny billboard for the "Hoopston corn jerkers." If you grew up a corn jerker, you NEED a friendly place like the Hangout. And it was even open on Easter! Hallelujah, brother, pass the fried pickles and corn nuggets!

We've been here before for their Friday Fish Fry (which is excellent), so we were looking forward to trying something different. I ordered the Mudbugs (crawfish) only, while my wife ordered the combo with Mudbugs and Meatloaf. The underlying motivation? She doesn't eat Mudbugs -- so I knew I'd be getting a bonus portion. The Mudbugs were cooked from live crawfish and seasoned with a classic Cajun blend. They varied in size but were served in generous one-pound portions. The flavor was fresh, well-seasoned, and exactly what you'd hope for in a good boil. Now, the real surprise was the Meatloaf. My wife loves Meatloaf but is extremely picky about it. I can honestly say she loved this one. After trying a bite myself, I agreed completely. It had a rich, beefy flavor, was moist throughout, and the ends had that perfect crunchy outer crust -- which is always the best part. We also ordered the Jalapeño Poppers. They had a nice crunchy exterior, and the pepper and cream cheese filling was creamy without being overcooked -- a solid appetizer choice. Top Fuel has that fun, laid-back dive bar atmosphere with lots of friendly people just enjoying themselves. It's comfortable, welcoming, and easy to settle in for a while. We'll definitely be back soon.

The bartenders where friendly and very understanding when we went in to tell them 2 days in a row. Looked like a clean, relaxed place to have a beer. Music wasn't blaring the nighst we went in which is a plus in my book. Would stop in for a drink when I have the time soon. They had drink specials posted for every day which is a good thing.

They make their own bloody Mary mix in house. They also make the cole slaw and it was delicious. We stopped at this place on the way to St Louis from Michigan. It is not right off the exit but I would forego the fast food and go the one more mile for some great food and fresh beer. It is a local bar with a hometown feel but you don't feel unwelcome.
