I ordered the filet mignon with asparagus. The steak was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. The asparagus was fresh and had great flavor. My mom was craving the fried shrimp, mashed potatoes, and mac. She loved it all and I was even stealing her mashed potatoes it was so good! Service and food was 5 stars. Giving 4 stars because the inside could use a little more ambience or aesthetic.

My first time at Trios Steakhouse and it wasn't bad but it wasn't outstanding. I would definitely…read moretravel to The Lighthouse in Cedar Lake for the ambiance and delicious food. The restaurant lacks a distinct ambiance. It needs to work on the interior design. Ambiance plays a significant role in making an amazing dining experience. The service was great. The bartender was quick and efficient. He was very friendly and recommended several different entrees and appetizers. I would come back to have a drink at the bar without a problem! He brought water and a bread basket. I wish he was more educated on what type of bread was being served. Overall he was attentive and ensured that my to-go order was packed correctly. My mom had the bbq baby back ribs. She said the baked potato tasted better than the ribs and that she prefers the ribs at TGIFridays over Trios. Which was kinda disappointing because we live relatively close to Trios and it's the only nicer restaurant in Watseka. Her onion rings were lightly breaded and tasted great! I had the salmon with asparagus and Mac n cheese. It was cooked perfectly. However, it lacked flavor. The asparagus had more seasoning and taste than the salmon. They should try some different seasonings. Too bland for me. The asparagus was surprisingly delicious and I would come back just for it. The Mac n cheese was disappointing. I advise to get the onion rings. It's a large portion of onion rings that are prepared fresh to order in a light batter. I doubt I would return for the main dishes. I hope they change things up.

Whistle Stop has new management as of several months ago. It was previously O's Place. Food at…read moreWhistle Stop is very good. I have had fried chicken, finger steak sandwich. wings, meat loaf lunch special, shrimp basket, pizza, burgers and prime rib a couple times when it was a weekend dinner special. All the food is very good. I would recommend that if you are going for dinner, get a reservation. My favorite sandwich is the finger steak. It is a ground steak patty on a hoagie bun with grilled green pepper, onion, mushrooms, cheese and garlic butter. I don't like cheese that well so I have them leave that off my sandwich. They know how to make fries. They are nice and crispy, Service is normally good but if they get hit with a big group all at once, it might take a little longer. The ambiance is typical of a small town cafe. It is not a fancy place, but is clean and friendly. If you have a drink at the bar before eating, people are friendly and like to strike up a conversation which I think is typical of small town places.

My wife got the Italian which is her staple lunch selection. She really enjoyed her sandwich and a 1/2 was plenty for her. Portion-wise, it was perfect for me. I'm not someone who needs huge servings, and the sandwich was just the right size--honestly, it worked well as a half sandwich for lunch across two days. For a couple bucks more, you can get extra meat Which we did not do. Great quality, flexible options, and a practical portion size. I'll definitely be back.

It came with three different sauces: beer-infused mustard, tangy barbecue and creamy horseradish. I could have just sat here and ate charred pork and drank beer and I would have been happy. We also got a Caesar salad, which was OK but would have been a bit better if it came dressed -- the dressing came on the side. The wedge salad was good but was less of a wedge and more of a regular salad. Fenwick Farms has a kids menu, which features things like cheeseburgers, buttered noodles, chicken strips and other kid-friendly foods. Each kids meal comes with a side and a dessert (ice cream sundae), although we didn't get our ice cream, but it was fine because my kids didn't need anymore sugar that day. Speaking of kids: They have free arcade games to play! My kids played Pac-Man and NBA Jam while we waited for our food. The Fenwick Farms Brewing Co. beer is made right here at the brewery, and this is the first and only craft brewery in Rensselaer. They have 30 different beers on tap (most their own, some guest beers), and they offer flights. Indiana knows how to do craft beer, and FFBC is another great example of great beer.

What a cute place! I don't know if they always hac the red and white checked table cloths and candles or if that was special for Valentines Day but it was adorable and made our Valentines meal a little more special. Our waitress was super sweet and attentive. Our cheeseburgers were some of the best we have ever had. We even considered driving back up there the next day for more! And the fries! By far the best fries! We couldn't stop eating them! We are sold. We will definitely be coming back here. There were other sandwiches I wanted to try but that cheeseburger will be hard to beat!
