What a gem! I travel a lot for work and I definitely do my best to avoid fast food. When I find a local diner, that's definitely a win for me! If you're not from the area, gps can be weird. The staff will actually come out of the restaurant and flag you down! Parking is easy peasy! Pretty close to the highway and fuel spot too. My mom were pretty happy to find this spot. For lunch, we split a tuna melt basket, which came with fries and slaw. We split a large garden salad too. Fresh and tasty. The fries were crisp and hit the spot! The over feel of the restaurant was rustic and cute. Absolutely loved the feel. Plus, everyone was so nice and helpful! Was a nice little find! Hope you find this gem too! read more

This is the 2nd time I've dined at Cafe 110 West. We went on Sunday. They only serve breakfast on Sunday. We were limited, but that was fine. Everyone pretty much ordered off the menu. I love wraps so I asked if I could get a breakfast wrap ( breakfast wraps are not on the menu). Our waitress said she was pretty sure she could accommodate my request. The wrap was amazing! Everyone else at the table said their food was really good. The decor is really cool. We're talking about going back this Sat for prime rib Sat. If you are interested in the prime rib you need to make a reservation. read more

Stopped by here for lunch with Jr because of the great rating. We each ordered a burger with fries. I ordered the one with the egg on it, and Jr ordered the Buffalo Burger basket. Great service. Great taste. Not expensive. We plan on coming back for breakfast and another time for a Mason Jar Cheesecake. read more

Great food for a small town diner. Friendly service. Heard them Talk other tables that they ran out of a few items but our orders were fulfilled. Come with a hearty appetite or I advise you to order the 1/2 orders when possible. Will definitely come back again. read more

Stopped in for coffee. The server told us they are closing permanently today. When they open up next it will be a grocery store. If you didn't stop in before, you have missed your chance. read more

What a wonderful hidden gem! Everything we had was homemade and delicious. Top 5 best French fries of my life and the staff was delightful. We sat outside as it was a beautiful day, but the inside was cute and had a great ambiance. Will certainly be back. read more

Cafe 110 West - Tuna salad basket, side of chips, macaroni salad and potato salad - American Near Me - Odell, Illinois

If you're just passing by along 55 like we were, this is easily your best option for a bite to go, or a driving break dine-in. Their biscuits were a perfect combination of flaky and rich buttery doughiness, lightly burnt at the top for added homestyle flavor. The turkey in the turkey, bacon and swiss wrap was phenomenal - succulent and lean pieces packed with rotisserie flavor. Go here over subway, mcdonalds, or any of the other trash you might find littered about the side of the highway and you'll be very pleasantly surprised! read more

Food was high quality, cooked well at a reasonable price. Nice hometown atmosphere with over the top friendly, phenomenal service. read more

My husband and I checked out this cute diner this week for breakfast. The reviews are so positive that I was super excited to have the opportunity to be in the area to check out this place. It did not disappoint. We were there for breakfast. I had a veggie omelet and cafe potatoes and toast. My hubby had his standard two eggs over-easy, bacon, cafe potatoes, and toast. The veggies on the omelet were fresh and it was cooked perfectly and served piping hot! The cafe potatoes were excellent and we can't wait to to go back to have them. The server was friendly and the decor is super cute. If you have a chance check them out. read more

Decided to stop at this cute little diner to grab some dinner with my son Asked the waitress what was good, she gave us her opinions and we both chose the burger with egg & bacon! She suggested the hand cut fries, normally I'd pass on them, but she said they were a must! And they for sure were! Everything was fresh and hot! We will be back for sure! Lexi was the sweetest waitress ever! This is for sure going to be a regular stop for us read more

This is the first time my wife and I visited this restaurant and we were not disappointed. My wife had a regular cheeseburger and I had the bbq burger.

We are new to the area and I was looking for a place for dinner. I came across this place, read the reviews and we decided to give it a shot. We were so happy we did!! The food was amazing!!! The young lady that served us was so friendly and attentive. The decor is adorable. Highly recommend. The best bean salad, country gravy and country fried steak we've had in a very long time. We enjoyed it so much, we're going back tomorrow morning for breakfast. read more

I learned of Cafe 110 West when they were sharing updates on Facebook on the renovations they were making prior to opening. So, they have long been on my list of places to try. Today was the day that we went for the first time. The town is charming and so is this restaurant. It's very up to date and their decor is fun. They have great taste in decorating. The servers were friendly. Our server, I wish I had gotten her name, was so nice. She immediately made us feel at home and like we were friends. We each had one of their advertised specials. My husband had the double cheeseburger basket that came with handcut fries and coleslaw. The burger was huge and delicious. He loved the sides, too. I had the 1/4 chicken dinner and it, too, was delicious. The salad bar was nice with many assorted salads and three different soups to choose from. All of this was very reasonably priced. This was worth the worth the short drive from our town to Odell. We will definitely be back again. We went back again today for breakfast. When we pulled up there were a lot of cars and we thought for sure it would be a long time before we were served and back on our way. Well, they were packed full of friendly faces. We grabbed the last table in the back room. (The counter stools were all still open). We were immediately acknowledged by one of the servers who was at the next table taking a large order. At this point, we still thought we would be there awhile. Well, we were so wrong! Not only were we waited on quickly but we marveled at how fast the food was being served. We thought lunch was good. Now we know breakfast is worth the drive, too. My husband had the skillet and loved it. I had eggs, sausage, cafe browns and an English muffin. All was delicious. I think we have found our new place to get away for a good meal and friendly service. Odell, you have a treasure in your town and it's this Cafe. read more

Great food with servings more than enough. Great service. Waitress reminds you what you miss about small towns.

Great cafe, waitress was so kind. She brought out water bowls for our dogs and the food was amazing!

Just finished lunch here. Had a BLT with home made chips and a slice of chocolate cake. All were top notch. Clearly fresh ingredients, lovingly prepared and tasted great. The chips were the most remarkable. Super crisp, good color on them and dipped in a Smokey homemade bbq sauce. Worth a stop between Chicago and St. Louis. read more

This was our third visit today and we plan to make it a point to stop by on our biannual travels. Each time we've had generous servings of HOMEMADE food. Our favorites so far are the Italian beef and the Thursday night taco bar. Both were amazing. My husband enjoyed his BLT basket today, and commented that his sandwich was thick with bacon and the fries were crisp, hot, and homemade. The servers have been prompt and friendly each time we've been there. read more

Nothing special on the outside but we were driving on I-55 and checked yelp and found Cafe 110 West. Very small but wow, the breakfasts we had were great!! My husband said several times the over easy eggs were cooked perfectly. The cafe browns (hash browns) were also cooked perfectly as was the bacon and pancake. We will definitely stop here again while passing by. read more

We were on our way home from the racetrack in Arlington Heights and found this gem. Very nicely decorated and clean. The ladies were very nice and waited on us as soon as we walked in. I had the B & G's with an egg on top. The gravy is homemade and very tasty! My significant other had an egg, bacon and wheat toast. Which is hard to mess up. The food was great and served up quickly. I think we were a total of 20 minutes. Which was great because we were wanting to get home. I will definitely stop by again if I'm in the area. read more

Great little gem otw to Chicago. Amazing biscuits and gravy! Drinks in Mason jars are adorbs. There is additional seating in the back!

Great spot to stop when passing thru Odell. Friendly staff, fresh, tasty food. Very nice atmosphere too.

Cute place! Good comfort food in the middle of no where! Just what we needed: classic grilled cheese, great French fries, ( order them crispy!) and a nice burger! Don't blink or you will miss it downtown, but good vibe! They close at 2 PM except T F S when they close at 8 read more

Stopped by this adorable cafe on our way back to St Louis and has a great lunch! Will try to stop by again next time we are on the road.

We stopped here on our way from Chicago to Bloomington/Normal. What a true gem!!! Just a short mile off the highway - and if you take a wrong turn like we did, you'll get to see a historic Route 66 stop - a vintage gas station! Cafe 110 has awesome decor - brick walls and lovely artwork. Even the glasses (mason jars with creative lids) are decorative. Everyone there was friendly, and it was clear that many of the patrons knew one another. Our server was awesome; kind and helpful with the menu. The onion straw appetizer was a true treat. Our group had a chicken sandwich, egg salad and chicken tenders - all homemade and wonderful. Lots of homemade fries came along with the meals. Quick refills, impeccably clean, nice bathrooms - we could have sat there and chatted all afternoon. We are already talking about planning another time for a meal here! read more

My family stopped here for breakfast and just had an amazing meal and experience! The food was terrific and the service was fantastic. My husband said his biscuits and gravy was the best he's ever eaten, my pancake was delicious and my boys devoured their steaks and eggs. Along with the exceptional food and service, the cafe is chic and cute. Our drinks came in mason jars, which adds a quaint touch! We plan on stopping here again for dinner on our way back from our travels! read more
