Bar that has a sports theme to it. It's like a little better than a dive bar apparently so it's better than it looks. This almost looks nice enough for it to be okay for a family lol kidding obviously. Has a few arcades and games. There's darts, which can be hazardous with the frat boys launching these. It's about $3 for the cheapest cocktails. Whiskey and whatever. It's about $3 for appetizers. There's things like cheese curds and the chips and salsa, but also pizza. Even though it looks crappy it's better than it looks to be honest. It's located on West State Street far from other bars and restaurants. This is a combination of locals mixing with the outsider college students.

For sure it's not a nice looking place but this isn't where to go to impress anyone. The cheap prices and cheap tastes are the main things. A lot of bars around here are nothing special looking, and this is no exception. It's pretty much a worn out looking place. The inside is bigger than it looks, with room enough for quite a crowd to watch games and stuff. Lots of good deals going on. These are daily and weekly. It's about $4 for a cocktail. The basics like whiskey and Coke or whatever. A lot of classic appetizers. It's about $4 for the World Famous Willies. Highly suspect these are that famous. These are fried pizza dough balls served with red sauce. Also you can get these with garlic and Parmesan cheese. The pizzas are pretty greasy but still are popular. Classic small town college bar. It's open in the afternoon to late at night, so lots of time to come in and have good times. There's plenty of the locals, not just the college students who like to hang out or whatever.

Worth the Drive - One of the Best Pizzas I've Ever Had**…read more If you're looking for authentic Neapolitan pizza, make the trip to **Iniga Pizzeria Napoletana** in DeKalb. It is, without question, some of the best pizza I've ever eaten! Every pizza arrives beautifully blistered with that signature airy, chewy crust that only a true wood-fired oven can produce. The ingredients are exceptional--from imported San Marzano tomatoes and creamy mozzarella to fresh herbs and premium toppings. Each pizza is handcrafted, simple, and absolutely bursting with flavor. Our favorites? Mais Pizza - sweet corn, creamy cheese, and just the right amount of char...unexpected and unforgettable. Hot White Pizza - rich, spicy, and incredibly satisfying. Pesto & Burrata - fresh, vibrant, and decadent with perfectly creamy burrata. San Marzano Tomato & Sausage - classic done to perfection. Sometimes the simplest combinations are the very best. The menu extends well beyond pizza with charcuterie, salads, gelato, desserts, cocktails, beer, and wine, plus gluten-free crust options for those who need them. If I had one suggestion, it would be to refresh the indoor atmosphere a bit. The food deserves an interior that matches its quality and creativity. The outdoor patio, however, is a wonderful place to enjoy a meal on a beautiful day. Brent as your server will take up another notch! And here's a bonus..Monday is half-price pizza.You'll probably find me there. Iniga doesn't just serve pizza--it delivers an authentic taste of Naples right here in Illinois. It's a destination restaurant that's absolutely worth the drive. Highly recommended!

It was a cold night in DeKalb, Illinois. However, it was nice and comfortably warm in Iniga's…read morePizzeria. We decided to drop in since it had just opened, and we wanted to see what they had to offer. If you look at the name "pizzeria napoletana" you may get the idea that this isn't Pizza Hut. It isn't. This is (according to my wife who has been to Naples in Italy) pizza the Napoletanese way. Thin crusts, interesting toppings, and different than mainstream American pizza. When we arrived we were promptly greeted at the door as we walked in, and given a choice of bar or dining room seating. We selected the dining room. Both areas were warm and comfortable, with the usual things in the bar (big screen TV) and dining room (art on the walls, nice tables and chairs, nice booths). We started with the Bagna Cauda, which was delicious. It seemed to be a little light on the garlic compared to my friend's version of the dish, but it was still good. It was served with bread, fennel, pepper and zucchini for dipping. It could have fed 4. For pizzas, my wife ordered their Margherita Verace, and I ordered their Puttanesca pizza. The Puttanesca had green olives, brown olives and white anchovies. The crust was very thin - so thin that I ended up cutting this with my knife and using my fork. I couldn't even fold it - the crust is very soft. I tried my wife's Margherita Verace, and it was similar in crust. It had lots of good stuff on it, and tasted good. Drinks were reasonably sized. I had a glass of wine which was fresh, and my wife after trying to order (and pronounce) Raganrok found that they were out of the sweet mead, so she went with a Negroni instead, which she said was quite good. The bathrooms were clean, but chilly in temperature. I hit the hot air hand dryer as I walked out in an effort to warm up the space. Clean, all fixtures worked, and well kept. The question boils down to this: Are you willing to experience pizza the way it was originally made - or not. If you are willing, you should try this place out. If you aren't willing - well, that's on YOU to change. You're missing a lot.

For being a…read morelittle off-the-water cafe, they provide much better service than I expected--and since we were here on a holiday, they were pretty busy! My group tried a good selection from the menu: chicken tenders, burgers, wings, and a wrap. The food was simple but delicious--I had the wrap, which was basically one of their salads with grilled chicken added, stuffed into a burrito tortilla. It tasted fresh, was wrapped well (I hate when a wrap falls apart), and despite having a good amount of vinaigrette, it didn't leak or go soggy. I kind of regret not getting a second one to-go! From the others' feedback, the rest of the food was just as good--great quality, tasty, and thoughtfully assembled. Pretty much everyone got fries, and enjoyed them. They're crisp, flavorful, and fluffy inside. The prices are reasonable, too. My food and a soda came to like $15, and most of the meals are about the same price, between $10-15 depending on add-ons and upsells. They also have a great ice cream selection--I wish I'd had the appetite to try the strawberry pretzel flavor!--and have milkshakes, beer, boozy seltzers, etc. All great options on hot summer days. Overall, I'd say it's worth a stop if you're in the area!

We have been regulars since they opened a couple of seasons or so ago and the atmosphere was always friendly and courteous. This season we were greeted with Mother's Day Brunch menu at 5 pm so breakfast items and a selection of one burger with fries were the only options. The waitress was rude and slow. Our plates were never cleared, and she never stopped to ask if we wanted additional beverages or dessert. We chose to eat outside because the weather was nice but discovered they had locked the door to prevent customers from coming back in the most convenient door and requiring them to walk around to another door. When my husband asked why, the waitress said to reduce customer traffic. We overheard the waitress chastising customers who came in about a half hour later that the restaurant was only open one more hour and that so they would have to eat fast. There was only maybe 4 sets of customers including us, so the place was not busy. My husband works in another local restaurant. This type of service in unacceptable.
