    The drive between Chicago and Danville can be a long one...and there is no direct route. 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!

    Dont really know why this is listed under "Dive bars" because it is pretty classy. And there are 3…read moret.v.'s in there which are usually on 3 different sports channels. Yes all the food is homemade and every friday there is a fresh dessert made. This is a great place to eat and even bring the kids.

    Hangout - Save us from the Country Music Channel, but I bet they would have changed it if we asked.

    Hangout - The portable sign lists the specials...but the bud sign is all you will see from the road.

    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!!!

    Excellent stop for breakfast at a low cost. The portions are big enough to share, and the food…read moretastes really good! We seem to go for either the sausage gravy and potatoes, pancakes, or an omlette. Friendly service staff, as well. The place seems to have improved? We enjoy it!

    Smoked kielbasa as an appetizer on the menu? Heck yeah, I'm here for it. And you know what? The…read moresmoked kielbasa was even better than I was hoping it would be. 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.
