It's a nice vibe inside and seems like it would be fun on a game day. But the service was incredibly slow-- we were waiting for our drinks, appetizer, and food each individually for a very long time. I am not sure if grad weekend was unaccounted for in staffing or something of the sort but I was certainly tough and we narrowly escaped being late to the ceremony, not due to our own poor planning. Another note-- our waitress was lovely and it was not her fault! Also the onion rings are presented in a ridiculous way

First time here for lunch. We waited a few minutes for someone to seat us while others were…read moreseated. We were greeted and seated quickly and she was very friendly. It was a little chilly in the restaurant. Definitely bring a jacket. Food service is a little slow. It doesn't help them I am hungry. I had the ribeye sandwich and fries. It was ok. They used a bit more pepper than I like (ketchup helped) and the meat was a little grisly. Overall, it wasn't bad. My friend had a chicken quesadilla. The lettuce it hit was a little sad, but overall tasted like a quesadilla. The water was awful! Three lemon quarters did not help.

I had to come back and edit my review because they charged me twice for my lunch, which I…read morediscovered after getting my credit card notification of the charges. I called the restaurant to tell them and they got my information they checked and they told me, no, they only charged me once. They are wrong. I attached to this review where they did that so now I have to dispute the charge through my credit card company. Watch out for double charges! Maybe they thought a double smash burger means double charging me for the meal?!?! I got the double smash burger and it was so juicy! I chose the curly fries with it and they were very good too. I was in the mood for a place where I could sit down in a nice atmosphere and enjoy a good burger and it was! They have a number of really good lunch specials too, which I will try next time I come.

I had the opportunity to dine at Seven Saints recently. The food was delicious, the ambiance was…read moregreat, and there were so many menu options that I truly believe there's something for everyone. I dined with a large group, and we were seated in a private party room that was perfect for enjoying each other's company without feeling crowded or distracted by other patrons. The seating arrangement was excellent, and the atmosphere made the entire experience even better. The service was absolutely outstanding! We had one server taking care of our entire group, and he was phenomenal...super attentive, responsive, and on top of everything throughout our visit. I would absolutely recommend it, especially for anyone looking to enjoy a great meal with a group. I would definitely visit again!

We decided, sounds great, so here we are. Coming in, VERY CLEAN, nicely decorated. Love the atmosphere. So we got the fried brussels sprout appetizer with of course, the Gorgonzola crumbles on the side because Wifey doesn't do those! We also got a Mediterranean salad, and a Falafel Burger. Loved our choices! I'll post pictures, and, you know the drill, Wifey will give her opinions! Our server didn't say what his name was, but, a very friendly gentleman. Found out his name is Michael. Quite good brussel sprouts. I'm not usually a big fan. Usually they are just OK. Wifey wanted them so I went along. Surprisingly delicious! The right amount of breading, crisped nicely. Wifey is putting the chipotle aioli on the bun for the Falafel Burger. The pasta salad is great. It's going home for dinner. Take out is a violation of the clause but not this time! The burger was just the perfect taste! Hard to describe. A TINY BIT tangy because of the sauce and just tender veggies! Scrumptious. Wifey's turn: This place is is adorable, happily decorated, and has a warm and classy feel. Hubs mentioned the foods so I will not repeat in depth. The fried Brussels were delightful! I am not a Gorgonzola fan so we made that a side car and I let hubs have the dipping sauce and got me some lemon aioli. I highly recommend this choice! So good. Both the falafel sandwich and the Mediterranean salad were perfectly on point with their Mediterranean taste, vibe and flair. I had to take most of my half of the falafel sammie home for dinner and most of my salad as well. Oh darn! I get to spread the goodness out! I was very pleased with our first visit here. We will be sure to not make it our last. I am happily sated. Yum! This place gets a straight up five stars from me.

Watson's is one of the cleaner and shinier hangouts but it still has some campus vibes. A lot to choose from. The prices aren't bad for portion and quality. Coming in the first time it wasn't that busy. It's a lot crazier when school is in session. This has been around for a while now but it's still a pretty cleaner looking kind of place okay to bring families of students or whatever. A lot on the menu. There's shit tons of drinks and we got a few of these. It's about $5 to get a slushie which hit the spot because outside it was hot. There's a few flavors to choose from which rotate. Among the cocktails are a few that are cool looking. I got one of the seasonal specials, the Campfire Mule. This was made with ginger beer, lime, and whiskey. It's about $12 for the cheapest entrees. She got the Tofu Basket, which was big enough for a meal. This was panko breaded tofu triangles and waffle fries, with a choice of a sauce. I got the Watson's Po Boy. This comes with a choice of protein and I got tofu. Comes topped with lettuce, onions, and a choice of sauce and got it with the vegan remoulade. Great stuff. Also has plenty of choices for chicken. They got the hot style. Got to say it has lots to choose from. It's closed Mondays and Tuesdays. There's chicken of course but also plenty of things for vegans and vegetarians.

I am here for Ebertfest and it has now taken over an hour to get drinks, food, and dessert. I am trying to flag down my server because I was worried about the amount of time it was taking. She apologized and took off the dessert, but she seemed to be the only one working. I was near the back so I got to see all the other servers "yucking" it up and just standing around while this poor lady was doing laps. I am from the service industry and only 40 so I'm not being a Karen. This server deserves a huge raise and probably a better job. Pair that with them cutting down the menu, this place went to a "must see" in Champaign to a maybe. What I ate was tasty, but the rest of Champaign has caught up and starting to leave them behind.

Con: Baked sweet potatoes tasted like they had been sitting in a heating drawer for too long; rib tips and brisket were ok but bordering on dry (if it needs sauce, there's a problem); green beans were bland and mushy; salmon sandwich was salty but well cooked.

We were seated immediately, our server offered great recommendations, and the pacing was just right--we never felt rushed or waited long for anything.
