Stopped in here on a Saturday night to check out the band that was playing. The place was not…read morecrowded at all. We were just staying for a bit, but then decided to order an appetizer as we were enjoying the band and were going to stay for a while. We ordered the Captains Supreme Nachos, which barely passed itself off as food. First when we ordered it we were asked if we wanted ground beef or chicken on it. We ordered ground beef. when we got our nachos it smelled like something was on fire. As we looked, the paper in the dish that the chips were on was burned on all edges, and some of the chips were burned as well. Why and how could you burn nachos. These were just regular chips, with a dab of cheese, enough to only cover about 3 chips, and a teaspoon of ground beef on it. It was topped with jalapeno peppers that were so hot it was almost dangerous. These nachos had NO flavor. They were the worst nachos I've had in my life. I've had better nachos from a bag at a little league baseball game for $3. Almost more ridiculous was the fact that these "supreme" nachos cost $9.95 and they charged us $2 more for a teaspoon of ground beef. What a double rip-off. Bad food at a high price. Our bill was $20 for lousy nachos, one captain and coke, and a 7-up. The only reason we gave this place one star is for the nice location on the lake, and the good band that was playing that night. We don't like throwing our money away and leaving unsatisfied. We will NOT be coming here again.

I was going to take more pictures of the inside, but there were too many white people and I was the…read moreonly Asian here so I did sound judgment, stay low key and don't get jumped by country folk. This is the American Sports Bar that you can picture in Dawson's Creek...or Smallville..it's country, very country, everyone within the 20 feet radius is blue collar, there's billiards, there's a digital juke box on the wall playing country and I think to myself...do bar fights happen in a place like this. Gawd, the local Illinois accents here...is like sitting in an episode of Boardwalk Empire listening to Al Capone and crew converse. So this is the Effingham they say... Ok the food. Yes, I came here for food. Was originally trying to navigate my way out of the Petro Truck Stop Parking Lot, having my rig parked over there, I was about to walk half a mile out to the other side of the freeway for that Advertised Chinese Buffet...but I couldn't find a walkway, and ran into this Chaser's building by accident. Accidents can be good. I sat down, looked through the menu, and picked up the ribeye steak, some fries, and lemon pepper wings. And I gotta say, it was a solid supper. Steak was cooked right, wings not overwhelmingly seasoned, and food was on par with if say you going to an Outbacks. I don't think I would've ever given this place a chance if I just looked up Yelp, it's 3.5 stars rating, because I most likely would have just glossed over the potential experience. And now that I've experienced this place....I may as well plan my trips next time so I camp in my rig overnight at the Petro in Effingham....that way I can get a few games of pool have a couple of IPAs, get a good dinner and really let loose for the night. So.... Until Next Time. #landoflincoln

Great place with delicious well prepared food. Nice menu but was lacking a salad other than the…read moreside salad. Husband had grilled and fried chops dinner and I had a side salad and loaded potato. Pool table and some electronic darts. Wanted to sit at bar but decided on a booth. Took a few for service at first but after it was really relaxed and laid back. Looked like a tourney night for darts was scheduled. We didn't stay long enough. Husband raved about the chops. He especially liked the grilled and it was gone. The fried were my favorite l. Good crust and seasonings. I think they brine them so juicy chop. Green beans went just a little long and miss some resistance. The seasoning didn't come through. Good use of fatback. My lettuce was just wrong. I liked everything else on it but the lettuce had turned. There was some I was able to eat. I would suggest at least one main dinner portion salad. Could be basic and be customizable. The loaded potato was delicious! ate every bite but the skin. I wanted too but too much butter needed. My heart was thankful. Good cheese pull. 10/10 Overall, we will come back because it was a nice dinner. Felt like home bars should.
