     two burgers and french fries
    Ethan M.

    Everything was COLD. The fries honestly might have been colder than the shake. I don't like to be negative so here are some positives: the food came out fast and the mint oreo shake was pretty good. That's really all I can say. The meat and fries were tasteless and cold, the place is not very clean, and the boss was having a loud argument with an employee and using profanity... not very classy. I say this not to be mean but in hopes that they can do better.

    Smashed burger that was supposed to be a double

    First time I have ever came to Steak 'n Shake and definitely will not be coming again. I am so very disappointed. I ordered my food at exactly 7:55 and did not receive my food until 8:28, missing half of my order still. I waited nicely for over 30 minutes this is unacceptable and when my food came out it came out freezing cold to the touch. I ordered a double and got a flat 1 burger that looked like it was ran over by my car. I finally got my shake 10 minutes after getting my food that was late and it's straight ice cream not even a shake I had to eat with a spoon it was hard like it was rushed. I am very disappointed and I will not be giving this place a try again. I didn't even want to give this place a 1 star but it was required:(

    Child sized chili five way. Straight up BS

    The food was always good. New management needs to earn customers back. Fast food with excellent milkshakes in a family-friendly ambiance.

    These mfkas move bad for business. Took forever to get my food. I could have drove home and back and then back to Galesburg.

    Once again, your writer was pulled from his current activity and found himself jetting to another…read morepart of the globe on an hour's notice. In fifty-five years of flying, I have smelled enough jet fuel, 100 LL, and burnt coffee. Enough to see too many things change, but not on this day and this trip. Indeed, I'd dined at the Packinghouse back in 1986. They've been open since 1978, and I recognized it immediately. Then, as now, the place looks the same and the food was remarkable. My co-star and I sampled the inviting salad bar, and he opted for the broiled steak covered in mushrooms. I had the shrimp scampi, which was spectacular and enough for two normal people. Our only disappointment was that the highly touted bread pudding had been exhausted. Hence, we settled our stomachs on the chocolate lava conflagration that helped put things into perspective. The ambiance was an interesting mix of nostalgia and packing plant apparatus. Being a vegetarian, I wasn't offended by what happened there since 1912. The still-active railroad station is just across the street, which made sense for the building's original purpose. Our server was a local historian who enhanced our visit with her perspectives. Yes, the HOJO where I stayed in 1986 is long gone, but the Packinghouse is still doing what it does best. I must also mention that downtown Galesburg is an inviting anachronism reflecting the old America that I grew up with. There are interesting stores and other attractions. Galesburg is also home to Knox College, and was the venue for one of the Lincoln-Douglas debates back when debates were really debates and not Kabuki Dances.

    We spent over $300 to take our extended family out to a nice meal. Not one of the 8 of us had a…read morenice meal. The steak? Overcooked no matter how you ordered it? Prime rib? about a 1/4 thick and well done, no matter how you ordered it. The cinnamon bread? Overcooked and burnt. The salad bar had wilted lettuce and was just sad overall. The side salads were actually better and we should have all just had that for dinner!! The service was amazingly slow. Like 45-60 minutes to get our meals when the restaurant was not that busy. My husband even spoke with the manager to tell them that it was just an awful meal. If you read the reviews over the last year, this is obviously a problem but they haven't fixed anything, so obviously they don't care. I would recommend finding another restaurant and not coming here.

For a beverage, I went with vodka tonics, and they were good. Service was good as well. Our bartender/server apparently relocated from Sully's, which is now closed.

This was extremely comforting to find after hearing their restaurant on Henderson closed in '22. While I loved Sully's, the distance from campus made it a must to designate a driver or coordinate rides. The proximity to Knox makes Sidetrax and easy choice for college students looking for a solid meal, watch a game with a yeasty beverage, or night out. You'll also find many of the same menu items and some new ones! I'm eager to try some cheese curds and revisit the Sully's Reuben. If you like craft beer, there's a small fridge to the right of the bar that has several cans eager to be sampled. I recognize those visiting the 'burg may belittle Sidetrax to an average sports bar serving typical pub selections. While l can understand some of the quick takes and average reviews from Yelpers, I think it a bit dismissive. There's a reason the Bernardi brothers have over 20 successful years delivering what the people want. |TO BE CLEAR:| As a Knox student, I learned to eat wings at Sully's and the flavor profile of their buffalo sauce and honey mustard dressing (always got a side salad to make myself feel better) are *pure nostalgia*. I've traveled the nation sampling popular wing establishments from every corner of the 48 continuous--a self proclaimed wing aficionado on Yelp--but it all comes back to Sully's wings. "Mild, wild, screamers, nitro" were a regular mantra amongst my friend and I'm happy to say Sidetrax version do not disappoint!
