My mom had the beef and cheddar and she liked it a lot. My dad loved his pork tenderloin. My fiancé got the chorizo skillet and it looked incredible and I had the western burger, which was also good. The fries were delicious. The meals are very reasonable. They all come with soup or salad and a side for about $11-12. The restaurant was pretty busy, but service was quick and the place was clean. Our waitress was very nice.

At higher temperatures, more catechins and tannins dissolve quickly, creating a bitter, astringent taste. Lower temperatures favor L-theanine, the amino acid that gives tea its mellow sweetness and calming effect. The balance between the two defines your tea's character. Taking hot water plus a dash of cold really helps. No amount of sugar can fix that bitter taste. You can't put that note on the app. Research shows that brewing green tea at lower temperatures (around 70-80°C or 158-176°F). The place looks trendy and their service is pretty quick. I hope this helps!

Checked out this neighborhood bar in LaSalle for cheap drinks. It certainly is cheap and looks it…read more 9th Street Pub is one of those bars located close to houses so it gets lots of regulars. Gets most of its customers from around. They have some pretty typical bar food if you like fried things. Bar and grill, with most of the focus being on the beers and cocktails. It's just best to not take chances and play it safe. The bar looks pretty divy from the outside, and rest assured it's like that on the inside too. Amazing that it's in the middle of a residential neighborhood. There must be noise complaints one can imagine about the crazy patrons. It's about $3 for the cheapest drinks. There's often specials including on beers and wells. Food menu has greasy favorites. It's about $8 for a burger or a sandwich. Loads of toppings. Big menu but most of it is meaty. There's a few things made with avocado and sprouts, but usually in combination with bacon or something. For sure it has a lot of choices if you're looking for typical bar food. It's located on the street it's named for obviously. They're even open for breakfast, so you can get your drinking on early, while getting eggs and whatever.

John the owner was very friendly and in addition to great stories to share, he also talked my brother and I into ordering a damn good Reuben. I didn't think you could find places anymore with great prices....but I could have ordered nearly anything off the menu and paid twice as much in my hometown. It's good to see places like this that have survived the pandemic. The bar is covered with stickers of bands that have played there, another plus that they support area music!

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.

Not too many trucks utilizing the truck parking area though I don't know why but LOL But once again you get this great home cooking here as far as I'm concerned and I need to start stopping here a little more often when I'm on interstate 80. Today I had to taste for a BLT came in and got one with fries but I sampled stuffed pepper soup it was fantastic! So I decided to opt for the deluxe which gives you the soup and the fries. It was really good The BLT could have a little more toastage to the bread but that's okay. Fries were good the soup was just fantastic The best part there were no onions and no god-awful carrots I was a happy camper enjoying the soup on a very very cold day. Lol Breakfast is still served all the time while they're open during the day from 7: 00am to 9:00pm. Keep up the great work

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!
