    1/3 Lb Cheeseburger
    Merrill D.

    I love stumbling into places like this. We were fishing, of all things. It was a busy holiday weekend, not 1 motor boat rental found. We decided to try our luck on the river bank behind the Bridgeport Inn. For a few bucks, they'll let you fish along the span of their property with the benefit of seclusion, no overcrowded fishing. I caught big fish too! We entered, weary and hungry, to a humble yet promising atmosphere, as the subtle scent of a grill and fried food wafted passed us. They have tasty yet affordable bar fare! Check out the menu below. I went with a cheeseburger but I was side-eyeing passing goodies. You can choose from 1/3 or 1/2 lb burger, which hit the spot. Burgers are flame grilled, no doubt. Fries are practically skin on tator chips, and thats a good thing, fresh and hot. My nephew told me the chili was good, as was the ribeye sandwich. I have a feeling one cannot go wrong when eating here. Yes, Bridgeport Inn is small, I don't think they have a/c, its difficult to move orders when busy, seating is limited, but hey, the staff is very friendly, the food is good, the drinks are cold, and the view of a river bend is medicinal in my opinion. If its nice out, take advantage of their outdoor seating, but I wouldn't just pass by without dining here at least once..you'll likely come back again. .

    I can recommend the Sunday Night special of a Sloppy Joe at the Bridgeport Inn. Weekend specials are pricy at $2.50 but the atmosphere more than compensates for the 1 dollar inflation over the regular weekday specials. The crowd was gamesome, offering to make room for us at the bar where they were enjoying the closing minutes of a nearly victorious Bears game. The bartender serving us was outstandingly friendly and guided us through the menu. My dining partner had the cheeseburger and it was... It was so beautiful, juicy-looking with juice just dripping off it. The bun looked like it was sculpted by some renaissance sculptor. The melted American cheese was holding on for dear life while the handsome lettuce and tomato cuddled on the beef like it was a waterbed. I tried to get a bite but my dining partner said it was too delicious to allow me near it. The fries were pleasantly cut into thin long wide slices that took the meal to a whole n'other level. I should have seen it coming because before any of the food arrived bar-b-que sauce showed up flacked by defenders: mustard, ketchup, and ranch dressing, all wearing identical squeeze bottles. All full and ready to squirt, and boy did they! A nod to the beverages: the water was cool and crispy and my bottled beer was fresh and delicious. A must for the collector of roadhouse rural bar experience.

    This place is just nuts. Good people, good food, and good prices. They have slots, a pool table, and water views. I can't say enough good things about this place, it is a family favorite, we bring EVERYONE here from all over The food is actually ridiculously good. I'm not kidding folks, it's scary how good this food it's. The Chicago dog was outta control! If you don't get your ass in here, then you're doing yourself a disservice

    Wilmot Stage Stop

    Back at the Wilmot Stage Stop after several years away. Steaks are still gooder 'n snuff and not…read morehalf as dusty! Amazingly after changing hands several times the quality and consistency remains. The rib eye rocks and baked potato with a 1/8 pound shard of butter inside is the heart attack you want. Salad and trio of dressings are included. Recommend sharing a side of the super fresh garlic sautéed green beans on the side. We drive from Illinois and pass all of the usual 2-star restaurants for a barely over the border treat.

    We had a large party and had a very early reservation on a Saturday late afternoon. Apparently, if…read moreyou want a prime time reservation, you must book it a few weeks in advance. We did get a chance to visit the second and third floors which we highly recommend. The gal that answers the reservation phone number and calls you to remind you of your reservation is on the second floor. In between the phone calls, she provides some history and all sorts of really neat info about the building. What was happening during that period of time, etc. Our server was very attentive, provided excellent recommendations and was very accommodating to all our questions and needs. The food was fantastic. Everyone in our party got steak and potatoes. A few also tried the lobster tail. My favorite part was the side of mushrooms. They were the sautéd with butter and garlic - simply the best. We also had a few cocktails, which came out nice and cold and the mixed drinks were perfect. We were stuffed from the great portions, but ordered a grasshopper to sip and that was also delicious. While I don't live in the area any longer. I was super excited to try stage stop again after so many years. I'm so glad we gave it another try and equally so very happy that some of the traditions such as the giant block of butter on your table are still going strong (which by the way they will bring you a to go container to take that butter with you!)
