Delicious wings! Crispy skin, juicy chicken. Get them with blue cheese dressing. Yum!
Debbie G.

I really like this restaurant and bar. It has such a nice comfortable relaxed vibe. It is decorated really cool too. All the staff was nice. The chicken wings have crispy skin yet are juicy. They were cooked just right. You can get them tossed in a bunch of sauces. Probably some of the best wings I have ever had with yummy blue cheese dressing. The patty melt was delicious with perfectly crisp tater tots. My burger was big and good. The prices are very reasonable. I'll be back!

I admit that I've cruised right by this place a million times and never stopped. Perhaps it was the sign and the nondescript facade, I just had the impression it was more of a bar that served a couple of burgers than a restaurant that served beer. I recently found myself hungry in Genoa and decided to stop. I was elated to see that it's a hidden gem of a family oriented restaurant that also has a bar. We had the steaks and broiled chicken, fried green beans, asparagus, mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes. The food was promptly served, tasted great, and I will return. The place was very clean like it's just been remodeled, and the barmaid/waitress was friendly, informative, and timely. She said they are offering nightly specials on social media to encourage people to stop in and give them a try. The prices are reasonable for the current climate of food costs and the dining experience was worth the price. My only regret is denying myself this friendly atmosphere and delicious food for so long. I will definitely be Cruisin' back to Genoa to try their burgers next time.

Enjoyed delicious Friday night fish fry. Good service, food and beer selection. Would definitely recommend for a good small town diner/ bar.

We were craving something outside our usual rotation, and this spot ended up being a pleasant…read moresurprise. I had ribs on the brain, and after a quick Yelp search this place stood out. I called in an order and was quoted a 20-minute wait. Since it's only about 10 minutes away, I gave it a little time before heading over... perfect timing, because the food was ready right when I arrived. The owner handled checkout himself, was friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant looked clean and well-kept which is always a great first impression. Once home, we dug in. The chicken parm sandwich was excellent: generously cheesy, with a tangy sauce that avoided being overly sweet. The bread was lightly buttered with just a hint of garlic, adding flavor without overpowering the sandwich. The chicken itself was thick, juicy, and very tender... not dry, not greasy, just done right. The way you expect it to be. The ribs were equally satisfying. They were very tender, tho not quite falling off the bone, but close enough to show proper cooking, they had a rich, smoky sauce that had real depth of flavor glazed over them. The fries were the only minor miss; they could have been crispier and benefited from a touch more salt, but they didn't detract from the overall meal. All told, this was a great experience and exactly the kind of quality local spot worth adding to the regular rotation. The menu is extensive, and there are several other items I'm eager to try. I'll definitely be back soon and would absolutely recommend giving this place a try.

The pizza was great! We also ordered the eggplant parmigiana, it was very good. Generous portions,…read moreand fair prices. We met and talked with the owners, who are super friendly. We found our new favorite local pizza place! There are only 3 small tables for dining. They do a lot of takeout business!

We saw this place opened up in the old school in Malta, and wanted to give it a try…read more For starters, the place is FULL of eye candy. They have movie figures and monsters, memorabilia, juke boxes, working arcade games, and just TONS of stuff to look at. Great for kids and adults who want to take a trip down Memory Lane. We were greeted and seated promptly by the staff, and asked for our drink orders. They do have soft drinks and even beer if you'd like. We ordered The Diana Ross - Supreme Pizza (get it). It came with all the good stuff, and was served hot out of the oven. Very nice! The wait for the pizza was short, but it was a Thursday night. We had to park in front of the AMC Pacer (a real 1970s car) since the parking lot was full. If the parking lot is full, you can park on the street too. The arcade games looked really great and the kids in the restaurant were playing them. Service was good, the food was great, and the price was very reasonable. A large group had a party there - the kids had a blast! Try this place out!

Malta, Illinois probably isn't on many people's path. But you might want to fit it in…read more A couple blocks from Rt 38 you'll find Old School Pizza - and appropriately named pizza pub that once used to be Malta Grade School. The interior of OS is a site-seeing tour. Tons of memoriabia from the past. They have a giant dining room, a separate bar room and a few rooms with video games. But above all this is their amazing pizza. We had a Cheese and Hawaiian pizza and really liked both. A size large here probably feeds any 3 people. Bring your quarters for the video games and pinball machines. This place is a blast. Cheers.
