Lola's Deli - Main St (Elizabeth)…read more "Laugh Often. Love Always." More Than A Deli! Located on US-20, Downtown Elizabeth, IL. We ordered, "Rachel Sandwich," - Turkey with 1000 Island, Sauerkraut and Swiss Cheese on Grilled Marble Rye Bread. The sandwich was crispy textured with perfect balance of fresh ingredients inside the sandwich. We also ordered, "Signature Baked Pickle Soup," - A creamy Dill Pickle Soup topped with homemade Croutons and Swiss Cheese, then baked to perfection. Both dishes were made from scratch and it showed. Fresh ingredients were flavorful and delicious. We had a chance to meet the owners. Both female owners who are friends decided to start this Deli in 2021. With ups and downs they've been able to change the business strategy few times and have persevered. On your way to Stockton or Galena, be sure to stop by to enjoy friendly service, cuisine made from scratch and a retro atmosphere. They offer good seating, tables by front entrance, as well as, additional tables in the next room. If you're looking to play Slots, they offer a good size room with bar area. Overall, we enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.

I would recommend making reservations as it was consistently busy. We opted for seats at the bar to avoid an hour wait. This place is tiny, so it would not be ideal for large groups. It would be difficult to accommodate someone who could not navigate stairs (there are both stairs to enter as well as a staircase for most of the dining space). Servers were friendly and helpful, the right amount of attentive. The food came out quickly. They offer light lunch, brunch, breakfast fare, with specials, and baked goods from Lola. A popular special is a homemade pop tart, which has rotating flavors (today was blueberry with lemon frosting). We opted for French Toast, pork belly, and the country skillet. Everything was delicious and portions were generous. All around a great find.

Very slow service…read more There were people at 3 tables when we walked in - and we had to wait 5 minutes to be greeted and seated. Then, it took 10 minutes to get breakfast menus, water and place settings. Then another 5 minutes to place our order. When the another table got seated at noon, they were given lunch menus. We would have liked to have ordered off of lunch menus if they were offered to us. The food came at the 50 minute mark of walking in. On the other hand, the food was very good and the value for the prices was very good. My wife had the short stack plate with very large and fluffy pancakes. Her ham was also tasty. My breakfast quesadilla was large and well done. Food was served hot and fresh. The decor is changed - no more mural - just a flat teal wall. Floors are a pretty hardwood, but need to be cleaned. Our server was very friendly but was very busy. Clearly they are short staffed but they should be up front about that and acknowledge it. We would still recommend this place but wish it was like our first time in.

Delicious breakfast!! Fantastic omelette. Fresh bread. Good service. We really enjoyed this cafe.read more

A MUST TRY BRUNCH SPOT!!…read more Husband and I both raved about this place all weekend and can't wait to come back! It's "cute" inside and features art from a local artist that you can purchase. We were also fortunate enough to be sat in a window seat and loved starting our day watching the energy of main street while enjoying delicious coffee and sandwiches! Husband a turkey club (the Logan?) and a iced vanilla chai latte. I got the cranberry chicken salad sandwich and an iced vanilla and caramel latte. Husband LOVED their homemade chips!

Before I review Big Bill's, I'd like to comment on the last review left by Michelle P. on November…read more8. It was a one-star review and was an obvious hit job. How do I know? Our server Carol helped my wife and me and her party as well that day. They were complaining from the time they walked in. When they asked for special treatment and got it (ordering breakfast during lunch), Michelle chose not to eat. As a former business owner, I do not like it when people leave hit job type reviews when they are not deserved. I am only surprised that no one has reviewed Big Bill's since. I was not going to review the place as I have reviewed it before. It hasn't changed - it's still great. We were staying at 305 North Inn up the street and took advantage of the $10 per person per day credit they offered at Big Bill's. Every day our servers were responsive and the food delicious. You can't go wrong. The prices are still low and the environment is still warm and inviting. I'm impressed!

There is handicap parking, and the building is handicap accessible. Having never been there before, we were thankful for the signage directing us to the doors. They do have a couple of picnic tables outside. If you choose to sit out there to eat in the sunshine, that is an option. The staff was very friendly and greeted us as soon as we walked in the door, which is always nice when trying a new place. The restaurant is a little rustic. However, it was very clean and decorated to go with the marina setting in mind. The menu had plenty of options. However, some options on the menu are not always available. They also have several specials written on a board on the wall. I asked if they serve breakfast all day and was told they do have some who come in any time of day just for breakfast. I am however unclear as to what days and hours they are open. There were 2 of us in our party and both happened to order a chicken sandwich and fries. One was a grilled chicken sandwich and the other was the fried chicken sandwich. They were both very good with a unique and flavorful sauce on them. There was a sweet fry bread on the specials board so we ordered it to go and it was fantastic. We decided if we are ever in the area again, we would return just for that.
