The shop keeper had told us to find a table but didn't let the server know. I had the meatloaf and mashed potatoes. It was served with LOTS of gravy. (See picture).

The waitress was very nice and sweet to us, joking and laughing, food came 20 min later. My wife thought her meatloaf had too much gravy which was fine, she just moved it to the side. My chopped steak with onions was quite delicious, one of the better chopped steaks I have had and had enough onions for every bite. We were surprised in the end as desert is included with each dish so we got two pieces of pie, strawberry rhubarb and peach. Over all a great visit except for the wait. 4.2 stars.

It was fine, though the cocktail sauce could have used a little more horseradish. The basket of warm bread and whipped butter was great. And The salads were excellent (we went for a standard greens salad and a Caesar salad). For the main dish, we each ordered a bacon wrapped filet, medium rare, with Brussels sprouts. The filets were prepared as directed, but seemed dry, tough and flavorless. Disappointed. But worse was the Brussels sprouts (one of our favorites). The sprouts were hard, woefully undercooked and crunchy. Not in a good way. The flavor was lost in the rough texture. Very disappointed. The staff seemed a little flustered too. Brought a side a sautéed onions when we'd ordered mushrooms. Too bad, as we had enjoyed our pasta meals before and had expected a steakhouse to perform better.

The hit were the mushrooms and pretzel! It was filling and all very fresh. The mushrooms were gooey with cheese and a sauce. The pretzel was warm and brown with a yummy cheese sauce. We agreed the nachos were average. The ribs were good but I didn't love the mustard in the sauce. We had great service and you couldn't beat the price. Major score tonight!

Emancipation is a brewery not a lot of people have heard of because it's not close to anything of course. Has a surprising amount of variety on tap and in cans to go. They may not have a whole lot but everything is full of flavor and quenches one's thirst. Even with it being a smaller brewery it still has quite a lot. It's got several of their own beers on tap along with a few others. There's also more cans in a refrigerator. Has the basics along with a few interesting ones. More than just the IPAs and the usual. It's about $7 a pint. The Farmer's Favorite is the IPA and is a pretty good medium one that's crisp and smooth. Has a few things to snack on here. It's about $3 for the Krack Mix. Basically like Chex Mix but it's made locally. They also will let you bring in stuff. Great place that's pretty hard to find the first time going here. It's located on N. 2500 East Rd. a few miles north of Fairbury surrounded by corn fields pretty much. They're closed Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.

Well we were in town and I was so excited to get the family on board to try this place that I hyped up and thought used to have good reviews. Bad move. From start to finish it was an expensive disappointment. It took forever for anyone to acknowledge us and there was a bartender that looked at us multiple times and continued to ignore us. The place is empty except couple at the bar, couple seated at a table on bar side, and a 3 top on restaurant side. After 15 minutes I walked up and asked the bartender if we are supposed to seat ourselves and she said no and said someone will seat you shortly. Someone eventually came and it took 3 business days to get food ordered. Ordered and when it finally came another 3 business days I was so disappointed. The serving sizes were all for a hamster and I think a hamster would have been disappointed in the lack of flavor. My daughter's mac and cheese / pasta was dry and she asked for an extra side of sauce and he said we couldn't do that. He came back from the kitchen and said the chef managed to get this much from the pan and it was 3 drops of sauce... he left and we never received drink refills or got checked on again. Took forever for the bill and finally got it and left.
