We spent the weekend at Woodhaven Campground and stopped in here on Saturday for lunch and to watch…read moresome college football. There were four of us so we grabbed a high top table in the bar area. Although college football was being played at the time the two TVs were showing news and a random sports talk show. We would have asked for the TVs to be changed, but we never got the chance to speak to a server. After sitting there for 10 minutes a server walked by and said she'd be right with us. Right after this a group walks in and tell the server they know her mom. She promptly sat them in the dining side and tended to their table. We waited for about 20 minutes and finally decided to leave as we had yet to even have our drink order taken. My wife's grandparents are property owners at Woodhaven and we come out occasionally. I definitely won't be back to Countryside and after telling them how bad the service was neither will they.

I was so hungry and they were so tasty that I forgot to "feed" the camera first. We both got the same burger - a Single Knuckle Burger with pepperjack cheese, along with lettuce, tomato, onion. My wife ordered their loaded Bloody Mary, which was very good - it's a shoe-in to win the Best of Ogle County if people try it. The burgers were very good. They now have a draft beer, so I ordered one and it tasted fine. This is basically a side of the road bar and restaurant, ambiance wise. Nothing fancy, but not run down either. Just good food.

Unfortunately, no one won anything but my Buddy said that he won $500 the last time he had stopped by for a drink. The setting of the place definitely shows that it is a local bar, but very homey and an inviting scenery. There is a whole bunch of history in this building. When I asked the bartender about the history of this place she shared that it has been a family owned business since 1945. If you are visiting Dixon area I highly recommend stopping by this establishment for a nice cold beer and some pizza.

OMG - GOOD BARBEQUE!…read more We were hunting for a place for lunch in Dixon, and my wife suggested this place. Good suggestion. I ordered their Pit Smoked Pork Sandwich, with the optional more expensive Truffle Fries. Let me start with the sandwich - oh, was it soooo good. Hot, tender, and the BBQ sauce was outstanding! The Truffle Fries were nothing to trifle about (excuse the pun). They were well-seasoned, tasted great, and were nice, hot and fresh. My wife had their Texas Cheesesteak Sandwich, again with the Truffle Fries. She really enjoyed her sandwich - she said it was very tasty. We went with non-alcoholic drinks since I had to go back to work. The Root Beer was good, and she really liked here iced tea. While we were there, I grabbed a piece of their cheesecake, which wasn't as good as their Pit Smoked Pork Sandwich, but hit the spot. Service was attentive and helpful. I liked the decor in the place - just enough to catch your eyes, not enough to get lost in the background. Two large screen TVs over the bar show different events (in this case, golf and something else) and the bar back looked clean. The rest rooms (at least the men's room) was very clean, smelled clean, and worked properly. This can be a problem in bars, they clearly have the right standards.

The menu showed 4 tacos, the menu said you get 3 and what I got were two slightly stale shells wrapped in tin foil with my entree. The service was good, but In my opinion the food was just average. I guess technically it's mostly a bar, in which case it's probably better than most. The atmosphere is casual, but for what we paid ($108 for 4 people and 1 appetizer) seems like a lot for what it is.
