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!

I had heard that this place has the best breaded tenderloin in Indiana, so I had to try it. The…read moretenderloin was freshly cut by hand and I could hear them pounding them out in the kitchen. Lightly breaded with no artificial tasting seasonings and fried perfectly. Really the perfect tenderloin! Very tender and meaty. The bar itself is just your typical tavern but seemed like it might be a fun place on the weekends. If you want a great tenderloin, try Stan's Tap!

Great food and had the time of my life. First time karaoke and had a blast!!!!…read moreIf you ever get a chance stop by here and meet the most friendly family owned business bar & grill to just kick back and enjoy. Can't wait to go back again.

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.

So I hopped into my friend's car one day after school and he said, "Let's go to Chicago." We were…read morein Champaign. We ended up taking a random exit out of I-57, and by chance chose the lovely, 600-person town of Buckley, IL, and happened upon this lovely bar. Walking in, this bar immediately screamed "1 star." It smelled putrid of cigarettes. Lighting was stale. There was no drink menu! But there were little golden sparkles: 1- free, solid pool table (which we used) 2- a barber shop in the back (???? what? but the barber was this sweet old man) 3- a nice little table with a new deck of cards 4- a soft-spoken, friendly bartender. 6- a row of fully running, new-looking video casinos. We left ultimately because of the clientele. One of the old, drunk men (looked like a group of regulars) asked my guy friend: "Are you trying to get into her pants? I bet you can't, they're so tight." I wouldn't say I'd ever go back, but this place does have its redeeming points.
