Wow! We randomly stopped at this hidden gem in Dixon on our way back home from a visit to Iowa and…read moreit will definitely be a regular stop going forward. Can't believe we haven't stumbled on this place before. It's an easy stop off 88 and the food is great! We both had burgers; I got onion rings which are some of the best we have ever had. They are crispy and delicious! The burgers were amazing! Lots of toppings to choose from, perfectly toasted buns, crispy bacon, just a perfect, juicy burger. The bartender was friendly and helpful and the guys behind the grill were awesome. Can't wait to stop back and try more delicious eats! They had fried chicken today too which was tempting:-)

The syrup is served warm, which is the best way to have it. Alongside my pancakes, I got an orange juice. Fresh squeezed and absolutely delicious.

I ordered the 3 meat omelette with cheesy grits,pancake , and a cup of coffee. They have Farmer's Brothers Coffee, my favorite. My sister had eggs with turkey bacon , potatoes and a pancake. We both loved our meals. The grits were the best I've had. The omelette had the right amount of meat and cheese . The pancake was delicious. It reminded me of the black bear diner's pancakes , if you know you know.

I upgraded my side to their Boo-Yah Deep Fried Potato Salad and thought I'd gone to heaven! I had a Bloody Mary too, which was good, but that FOOD! Service was great (we sat at the bar) and the ambiance is bar-like (nothin' fancy). Good prices too. Took half mine home for another meal later. OH, almost forgot.... I think their green beans are FRESH?!?

This is clearly the best place in town to have a great meal. I've been coming here all my life and the waitresses are very nice and will talk with you if you'd like. The food is great and the soups are awesome. They have great meat lover skillets and the prices are the best for the food quality in town. I wish I could come here more often.

Yet we walked in, and were seated immediately, with a prompt visit by a server who took our drink orders while we looked over the menu. I chose their Smoked Roast Prime Rib. I enjoy smoked meats AND Prime Rib - so how could you go wrong? I ordered it with their mashed potato side. My wife had their Chicken George, which as you can see from the photo (updated photos are labeled 8/2026 visit) provided a LOT of Chicken. The Chicken George came with a dipping sauce, plus you have barbeque sauces also on the table. The chicken was fresh from the fryer and was very good. The Smoked Roast Prime Rib was exactly what it was called - the rind had a nice, smokey flavor to it. The Prime Rib was a nice cut, tender, and tasted great. This kind of feels like a country sports bar. Plenty of TV screens in the place, and wood walls give it a homey feeling. Service is very attentive even during high business periods and the manager checked in to see how our food was. So many good things - what's not to like? It's about a mile north of Rt 2 on Palmyra Road. You can't miss it if you drive north.

They offer indoor and outdoor seating so we chose to sit on their patio since it was such a nice June day. They have an extensive cocktail and craft beer list along with burgers, sandwiches,tacos,bowls,salads and BBQ. My wife had the Rodeo Burger on a GF bun which was loaded with pulled pork,bbq sauce and pepper jack cheese. The burger was huge and came with a side of slaw. I had to try their Trash Can Fries which were topped with Monterey Jack cheese sauce,pulled pork,pico and jalapenos. Absolutely delicious. They offer Daily Specials and are also known for their Chicken George which I have to try on my next visit. Plenty of parking and great for larger groups as well.

Summary: Clean, new restaurant…read more Good service. Good food served hot and fresh. I dropped in for lunch on my way home, and Arbys got the nod. The shop is very clean, which I appreciate. The bathrooms were spotless and smelled pleasant. Someone cares. I decided to go with Arby's Wagyu Burger (which per the sign on the window was 51% Wagyu and 49% ground beef). It was served hot, made fresh, and tasted great. The crinkle cut fries were good, but I still miss my potato cakes (Arbys Corporate - Do you get this yet?) I also had a drink, and the drink machine worked just fine. Pretty hard to complain, and others at the restaurant were ringing the "good food" bell (to the right of the door on the north side) to agree. In, out and done fast too.

Delicious! Very satisfying Friendly and fun group of people & food always on point!read more
