There are 3 spots to order. A coffee counter with breakfast and snack options. A pub food counter labeled "Gathering House Grille" and a large bar in the center for "the adult drinks". Feels like it would be an amazing spot for live music. Made for an usual weekend lunch spot. Lots of open seating, some funk playing on the stereo, and not much of a crowd. Service was polite and things were quite clean. I had an original smash burger and it was quite tasty. Seemed fresh and had a lot of flavor. The fries dinged it down a star. They were mostly piping hot and fresh out of the fryer with a couple room temp fries in the mix. Must have been the leftovers from an earlier batch but it was an unsettling surprise. Would be a better place to hang out with friends than to visit as a lone dinner. Hopefully I can come back some time when there's a band and a vibe.

There comes a time once a summer season where a group of 6-10 F**kin' Illinois People (FIPS, as I…read morehear we are referred to) migrate from the bustling city of Chicago to the small beach town known as Monticello, IN. You see, a large group of us college friends living in the city, and some new friends we've picked up along the way, enjoy visiting our friend from college working her dream job in the dreamy Hoosier State. Our plan is simple: travel by car to the land of "two-bedrooms with parking, a yard, in-unit washer/dryer, and a dishwasher for $400 a month", load up on sustenance, cruise on the boat in Lake Shafer all day, get silly, take over a bar, and make decisions that should only be made by freshman college girls. Our usual poor decision spot closed a few months ago and, this time around, Sayler's became our latest watering hole debacle. And so begins my open letter to Sayler's. Dear Sayler's, Thanks for gracefully dealing with the presence of by 6 FIPS and our 4 local friends this past weekend. From the moment we hit the boat at 11AM Saturday morning we knew that any establishment in the Monticello area would be "happy" to have us as patrons. Your close proximity to our home base made you an easy target for our debauchery and fun that we surely brought. Your $12 beer buckets and less than $3 shots insured that we would be even more fun than we already were by giving us crazy amounts of liquid courage. This helped us negotiate with the DJ when choosing songs for the bar (we were sad to find out he did not have "Midnight Train to Georgia"), populate what was a vacant dance floor, and demonstrate to the rest of the bar patrons how to do planking exercises in multiple places throughout the bar. I can only hope that we were not only a fun presence to be around, but that we also taught your customers important fitness techniques. Although we felt we may have overstayed our welcome by the end of the night (thanks to the girl who tried to "start something" in the bathroom with a friend), thankfully we had one friend who was able to keep us in check, offer a shield or protection, and help us get on our merry way. We still hope you welcome us back the next time you are in town. Signed, Me PS Terri, I hope you had a great 50th birthday party. We sure had fun!

Both orders were the same. Wednesdays BLT was perfectly toasted bread with enough bacon to cover all the bread,tomatoes that were firm enough not to fall apart and slop all over your hands,and nice crisp lettuce in just the right amount to cover the sandwich. Saturdays BLT came on bread that was barely toasted with no browning whatsoever,three slices of bacon that didn't cover the bread, and a wad of lettuce,some of which was something I'd have thrown away at home.In fact I did. Overall,Saturdays meal was not something I'd want to eat again,while Wednesdays was perfect and the reason I ordered from there again. I think I'll avoid the weekends if I get food from there again.
