The bar is separated from the dining room. Both rooms have plenty of TVs playing sports. I had the Chicken (half) Dinner and he had the whole catfish. Each dinner came with a salad, choice of potatoe, choice of apple sauce or cottage cheese and a side of spaghetti with meat sauce and a vegetable side of corn. Big time food ensemble! Best fried dinner I have been to. Coating was thin, like flour not a batter. Bolongese was seriously meaty and good, not sweet. There are also soups and salads on the menu - so needed these days. Service was prompt, attentive, smart, helpful, just right. They have a full bar. If you want to bring your own wine corkage is $10 . Great for couples families or groups.

Although my husband was fairly set on the prime rib special until he saw a plate of fried chicken come out. All bets were off then. It was a good choice- great chicken. I got the salmon and it was okay. Lacked flavor but it wasn't overdone since I asked for it medium rare. One of the best things here is the soup and salad bar. I enjoyed the potato soup. Salad bar had lots of great options too. Somehow we made it out of there without ordering one of their delicious desserts. Miracle. Service was friendly and attentive.

This time, food was delicious but the service was again, absolutely terrible!…read moreNow, we did have a large crowd, but our waitress NEVER had any sense of hustle. We needed up going over to the bar side for all our drinks (including water since she never brought mine). I also ended up taking others water and lemonade cups to the bar side for refills. We had to ask for menus and to place an order. It was absolutely pathetic! Never once did she apologize for the delay - anyone who has ever waited tables (yes, I did in college) knows you apologize for the delay and get people more drinks! Not once! There was another younger girl who was hustling - taking orders out, refilling things on the salad bar etc, but unfortunately, ours was set at a much slower pace. Her tip was not good and it was still more than I think she deserved. So disappointing since the food really was good!

We were in town for the annual Christmas Market and was ready to be blown away by delicious chili…read more However, what we were served was a major disappointment. The ambiance is plain and simple, no thrills. It's a large room filled with tables and booths. There's no bar. Their beverages range from fountain Coke, bottled Fritz's Premium Soda Pop and Lemonade. We all giggled when they served three small sleeves of saltine crackers. Why three, wouldn't one have been enough? None of us are fans of saltines, each of us commented we prefer oyster crackers for our chili or soups. There were three of us and we all ordered the same thing. We each ordered a single taco and a small chili. When our orders of chili were placed in front of us, each of them had a thin layer of grease on top. Not wanting to disappoint the other two diners, we each kept silent about the gross appearance until we were finished and outside the restaurant. Once outside we all commented how flavorless and greasy the chili was. It had a burn, but it was not from a robust chili flavor. The taco was plain and simple in a soft tortilla. It too was nothing to write how about, but it a lot better then the chili. The service was good for a chili parlor. I kind of felt sorry for the server, there was only one and she was hustling taking care of the entire dining room. Will I return? - No, we all had heartburn after dining. When: December 6, 2019 Why: Lunch before shopping the holiday market.

We were traveling home from Peoria and stopped in Jubelt's for lunch. This was our first time. It…read morewas right at the beginning of lunch time and they were moderately busy. First impressions, the restaurant needs some help with cleanliness. Tables and chairs are worn out, the floor just looks old and dirty. I'm sure they clean, but when things get that worn and old, it doesn't matter. Part of the "charm" of this restaurant is the Route 66 proximity, and that was part of our reason for going there being the 100th anniversary of the mother road. When you enter you are faced with a bit of confusion. There are handwritten signs telling you to grab a menu and get a table, then you have to go to the counter and place your order. I've seen this before and it makes little sense. I suppose it's a labor saving method, but not practical at all. We found a table and looked at the menu, which is quite extensive. They, also, baked their own breads and pies and have a display case with pastries. We placed our order and returned to our table. The food arrived in a reasonable amount of time, but while we waited, I watched people coming in and being just as confused about the ordering system as we were. Plus, the line at the counter grew into the seating area. I would think the counter would be good for to go orders like the baked goods and pastries rather than dining customers. I ordered the 1/4 ham and provolone croissant sandwich with fries, my daughter ordered a turkey wrap, and my wife ordered the turkey club. They both ordered fruit cups as their side. The croissant was very good. It was flaky, moist and pillowy, but held the ingredients of the sandwich well. My wife and daughter said their sandwiches were fine. I'm not sure my sandwich had a full 1/4 pound of ham on it, but it did have good flavor. The fries were hot, but right out of the bag. The fruit cups didn't appear the freshest. It looks like they do a good business with the baked goods and pastries. Maybe that should be the business which would make more sense with the style of service they are doing. It was worth trying, but I don't know if I would return. The employees were all friendly and were hustling and I did see someone clearing tables, but I think the place could go for a remodel just to maintain an appearance of
