    Pear blackberry pie
    Priscilla B.

    Rustic comfort food that was the perfect antidote to a cold cloudy day. I had the cabbage roll served over mashed potatoes, yum! The tomato sauce the roll was cooked in was similar to the best tomato bisque you've ever tasted...I'm going to be craving that meal often! The cabbage roll was only outshined by the pear blackberry pie with vanilla ice cream...this dessert made me a happy girl! It's a must try!

    One of my favorite places in the bishop hill/Galesburg area. The staff is friendlier than most places around, the history is great, they have a gift shop with some cool stuff. It's a great local place to eat. The Swedish meatballs are the best around. I definitely recommend them. That brownie sundae is pretty awesome as well!

    I have ordered from here several times as it's only a few blocks away. The time before my most…read morerecent order was awful. I ordered a cod dinner ( which comes with choice of potato and a salad) and a pizza. My husband went to pick the order up and there was no salad or potato! In his defense, he didn't know that it was included. Baked cod was hard and tasted awful. Fast forward to last night's order (same order as the previous one but I got the cod battered). I walked into the dining area to pick up since getting a bartender to acknowledge me was fruitless. I told the waitress my name after waiting nearly 10 minutes and she rudely told me to go pick it up at the bar. I told her I ordered online and already paid so she told me to hang on. Another good 5 minutes goes by and a different waitress brings me a pizza and 1 Styrofoam container. I checked it and told her it was supposed to come with a salad. She rolled her eyes and finally ended up bringing it out. Well, the battered fish was doughy so I only ate the actual fish. They have certainly lost my business. So much for trying to support local businesses.

    Someone recommended this place to me while I was in Savanna, IL. Big building with a bar on one…read moreside and the restaurant towards the back, though i think the top floor is gor event space. I got a Sunday Special on a burger with cheese curds and was honestly surprised how good it was. My total bill was $12.84 (had a water only). ZERO complaints for this price (May 2023) and wait staff was friendly and courteous.
