Our large group of 3 families enjoyed breakfast here and the lovely staff were very accommodating to our chaos. 3 grandparents, 4 parents and 4 toddlers to order, eat and we all enjoyed ourselves. We all loved the treats, the food, and best coffee we could find in the starved rock area! I got for the 4 I was in charge of: 2 hot vanilla latte, a kids French toast with bacon, a biscuit and gravy, cream horn, cinnamon roll, and more treats I can't recall now. Highly recommend this cute little stop and if we are in the area again we'd definitely stop by!

The waitress told us that there would be a party in the back room at 12:30, but she thought an hour was plenty of time for us to lunch at that table. Husband ordered the BLT (good but needed more, and thicker, bacon to be filling) and I had the grilled fish sandwich (good portion but a little bland). Our sides were the Cole slaw (yummy) and the sweet potato waffle fries (tasted great but they were not hot enough- temps were freezing so I think that's why) Service was excellent. The party showed up 30 mins early so felt very pressed to eat in a hurry and get out of their way as they were setting up for something big.

Guess I should've looked at the date of the reviews before I went. Maybe it was a 4+ at one point,…read morebut I didn't have anywhere near that. Service was ok. Nice enough, but not attentive. Coffee wasn't kept filled and had to grab silverware from another table so food wouldn't get cold. At one point the server filled one person's coffee cup at the table, left and never came back even though everyone else had empty cups as well. Didn't ask anyone, just poured it and left. Food and drinks were not good. Edible but wouldn't ever come back. We had a variety of meals because we had a large party. Not a single thing was remarkable in a good way. The two things that were exceptionally bad were the biscuits and gravy and veggie skillet. The gravy was bland and not creamy. The biscuit tasted and looked like it was a made from the freezer. The veggies in the skillet: undercooked onion, frozen spinach, canned mushrooms, ok fresh tomato. Just overall not good. Coffee tasted slightly above water and lukewarm. Decor was generic. I would equate this entire experience to an institutional meal at like a low grade retirement facility or something similar.

They let us put in a reservation as we had a larger party, and our table was ready right when we arrived. The restaurant was packed for a Sunday morning breakfast! I had a Belgian waffle- it took a bit as thr first one didn't come out, and I don't think I would get it again here. However, my bacon was delicious and perfectly cooked, my niece loved her Mickey pancake, and my sister's Benedict was fantastic. Biscuits and gravy reviews from the table were decent. Service was fantastic- and we'd likely be regulars if we lived in the area- would recommend.

So, I went to pick up the order myself--my first ever from Shady's--and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and cheese fries.

I come to Nat's Place every few months when traveling with a client and always enjoy the food but…read morethe service is lacking. I usually stop in between 2:30-3 when there are few customers -maybe 2-4 at the most. There are always 4 waitresses behind the bar. Today we sat for ten minutes before I went to get our menus. One waitress looked at me but didn't say anything. The ladies were huddled by the register talking and looking at their phones. Another ten minutes went by so I went to the bar to ask if I should order there. Three girls looked at me but continued over to the cooler where they visited with a waitress on her break. I finally said, "excuse me. Should I order at the bar." They responsed,"no" and in a few minutes one came to take our order. My guest had fries with her sandwich. The fries appeared to perhaps been partially frozen and then fried in a large clump. The inside of the clump of fries was soggy. Each time I go to Nat's I think the service will get better. After reading the reviews on Yelp where they share the same experience. I can only wonder if this is an ongoing issue with this place. Poor service equals no returns which is a huge problem for a small business. Food and is good and atmosphere is welcoming.
