We looked online and decided to try Office on Main.when we pulled up we thought it was just a bar with mediocre food. Surprise Surprise the food was amazing, the waitresses were on their game and so nice. I got the BBQ BACON Burger, it was so juicy and had a great flavor to it ( I had the BBQ sauce on the side). I had fries as my side, natural shoestring not my favorite. My friend had chicken stripe which were so tender and fresh, I wished I had ordered them. She also had garlic cheese curds (again not my favorite) which really surprised me. I am a cheese curd lover and I loved these. Just a touch of garlic so it doesn't overpower the taste of the cheese. I have a feeling we will be heading to Morton again to go to the office.

Two words: Underwhelming. Expensive…read more Let's start with Underwhelming. 1. Dac's Sweet Tea is from the fountain yet they pass it off as fresh-brewed in-house. 2. The pulled pork and brisket just isn't very good. The brisket falls apart like a roast and the pulled pork has little flavor. 3. I had 6 BBQ sauces and 3 of them were adequate. The Honey BBQ is the best of the lot followed by the Pineapple Habanero and Hot. The Strawberry and Carolina Vinegar is too watered down and the Mustard BBQ is too heavy on the Dijon. They may have been able to get by on Underwhelming but Dac's is going to make you feel like a chump with your wallet. 1. They have a $4 upcharge for Mac and cheese with a BBQ plate. The only problem is the mac and cheese is just ok. I don't understand how the mac and cheese I was given deserved a $4 upcharge. 2. Remember those sauces? Yeah they gave me 2 and charged me 75 cents for each after. Dac's teases you though because they have a truckload of sauces but if you want to sample more than one, they 3 quarter you for each one after. There has to be better BBQ choices here than this Underwhelming and expensive experience.

Washington has 5…read moremain bars that I can think of off the top of my head, and which one is best will be contingent upon your socioeconomic status and existential demeanor. Small rural towns in the Midwestern US are generally wastelands in a tangible sense, that goes without saying; but there exists a more abstract sense of desolation that tends to swallow one whole if a little too much time is spent in a town so bereft of anything that could reasonably be called cultural. Disgruntled, romantically hopeless drunks like me are often inaccurately characterized as decrepit, amoral, underachieving dregs of society that have no need for anything but themselves and the bottle. Pretty much accurate, but my main point of contention with this portrait lies in the blatant falseness of the last bit. Drunks like us, we need people. We need a place to go to drink with jaded folks facing the same eternal war on tedium and disappointment that is living in a town like Washington, IL. Drunks like us, we don't go to the bar necessarily to have a good time. We go because if we're given nothing but free time in the glorified solitary confinement that is one's living quarters, we'll lose our fucking minds. The main directive of this site is completely worthless when it comes to assessing local watering holes like Parish's. If I was a random visitor, I would visit it and be thoroughly unimpressed. You probably have a bar exactly like this in your hometown, and you love it for two reasons: the staff and the regulars. Over time, you foster a relationship with the two that ensures that if you're down on your luck and have fuck all to do with your night off, you can always head down and avoid staring at your bedroom wall until you pass out. How many times have I seen two people unsuccessfully hustle me and proceed to copulate on a pool table while the couple thought everyone was outside? Once, but that's still enough to prove a point. How many times have I been inundated with whisky-drenched tales from the past of smuggling pounds of cocaine around state lines from guys with 7+ DUIs? More than I can count. Dive bars are ideal temporary residences for drunks like me because it's a way to playfully repel the malaise of untapped potential that forces one to be a glorified automaton in a small, boring town by letting the id take over and run its course. Then of course, there's the staff. Dive bar lore is rife with stupid, inaccurate adages suggesting things along the lines of a loyal bartender being better than any therapist you could hire. That's bullshit almost 100% of the time; often they're simply nodding in agreement and allowing your bleating to go in one ear and out the other. That isn't the case here. Rick is a true lifer in the greatest sense of the word and will bend over backwards to help out the loyal regulars. Lord knows he's done it for me countless times. Dani refuses to take my tips because she knows I'm perpetually broke, has gone out of her way to feed me because she knows I rarely eat, and has, along with her husband David, a Thursday regular, taken an active interest in my problems far beyond empty regurgitation. They informally "adopted" my brother and me, because, in their own words, "you guys are exactly what I'd like our children to grow up to be like." Last Thanksgiving, when I texted her asking if the bar would be open, she responded that they would not and asked if I had a place to go for dinner. I had to work. Sure enough, she shows up with a massive plate of food and a bottle of whisky. If you haven't noticed already, I deeply love this nondescript, forgettable-to-outsiders bar. Not in the pedestrian manner that stupid fucking Toby Keith song celebrates. Drunks like us, we don't go to our local dives to celebrate temporary egalitarianism and yee-haw Saturday nights as a fun little break from our everyday life. We go to our local dives because without them, we'd have no other place to wallow in the utter senselessness of living in a town like Washington without losing our minds.

I'm deeply disappointed by the modernization of Steak 'n Shake. What used to feel like a charming, classic diner experience has been stripped down to a sterile, impersonal fast-food model. I had to wait on myself--from placing the order to getting my own drinks. We were given plastic utensils and prepackaged items, which felt cheap and wasteful. I couldn't even order my favorite, a vanilla Coke. You've removed the soul of the place. Eating chili 5-way with a flimsy plastic fork is nearly impossible. Tables were bare--no condiments, no warmth. And to top it off, while paying for my own order at a kiosk, I was asked if I wanted to leave a tip. For what? No greeting, no service, no human interaction. I bussed my own table and left feeling like I'd been duped. You've lost the brand identity that made Steak 'n Shake special. I won't be returning. This isn't modernization--it's abandonment of everything that made you unique. read more

This place has gone way downhill since a female red haired so called manager has started working there. She herself provides SLOPPY & CARELESS so called service with an PETTY ATTITUDE. Poor excuse for a leader as the employees follow her lead. Whomever owns the business should fire her and the employees that follow her lead. PATHETIC CUSTOMER SERVICE. read more

The new Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers just recently opened up in Peoria! This place has been…read morenonstop busy since opening. On opening night alone, the drive-thru line was literally two blocks long. I had friends who waited about 45 minutes in that line, and they said the chicken was still hot and fresh when they finally got it, they were very satisfied and honestly, that's impressive. When we ate here for the very first time there was so much activity behind the counter, I'm talking at least 20 employees! Happy employees who enjoyed doing their job, it was refreshing, and they all had great customer service! Despite the fact there were so many people and how crowded it was they were able to make it run smoothly and everyone was still so kind! The food is pretty good overall, and I know a lot of people are huge fans of Cane's sauce. I truly believe some folks go there just for that sauce alone! The coleslaw is sweet and crisp and the garlic toast is always hot and buttery. Would be nice to see them have some sort of a dessert on the menu board down the road! The drive-thru setup is also really unique. Instead of just a window, they actually have a door where employees can walk out to deliver food. I've never seen anything like that before, but it seems more convenient and probably makes things run more smoothly during the rush. I love how they decorate their restaurants with the disco balls and the Cane's mural with the bricks somewhere located in the restaurant. I find that there's usually at least one unique table too. I like how they're all unique in their own ways but similar at the same time! Prices are decent, the chicken is fresh, and the hype is real. If you're thinking eating out for dinner, go get you some Cane's!
