I was on a road trip up from Florida to Wisconsin with a friend. We were going through Springfield, Illinois, so we could visit the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum & Library. So that's how I ended up in this neck of the woods. Needed a spot for dinner and this popped up as an option and sure glad it did. My friend & I both opted for the Fried Chicken dinner and this place makes the best fried chicken I've had in decades! OMGOSH! The meat was fully cooked, but still so incredibly juicy. The crispy skin and coating was unreal, it was so good - it was truly "finger-lick in' good". While I'm borrowing that old slogan, The Ariston Cafe's fried chicken is like the fried chicken ideal of perfection. They have a classic salad bar and that hit the spot, especially on a road trip where you're not often getting enough veggies. I'm writing this review some weeks later after getting back home. If the place had been average, I wouldn't bother, but when a reminder to do a review popped up, I had to do this as the waitresses and cooks deserve it, as do the owners & all the staff. Waitresses were all nice as could be and helpful. It's like walking back in time when you go inside, and it reminded me of great restaurants in the area I grew up in. If I make it back up that way again, I'll plan my travels to include another stop in at The Artisan.

I know that the two souls working this morning did their best. Their leadership clearly underestimated how many people would come out for breakfast on a New Years day. While reinforcements did eventually show up, we in that first wave took a bit of a slight in timing and preparation of the food. When you are in the weeds, and feeling rushed you are not always at your best. Today's marginal performance is on the franchise owner and the manager doing scheduling, not the two people hustling as best they could. I got a Philly cheese steak omelet, hash browns and a biscuit. It was all just okay- cooked a bit too fast and hot so all of the textures suffered, the flavors no time to really develop. My wife got her standard eggs, sausage, hash brown and toast. Same issues it was okay, but the rush cook job left a bit to be desired on the flavors and textures. The place was reasonably clean, it's not overdone on decorations, a nice enough place. We will likely give it another chance at some point. We certainly wouldn't make a 12 mile drive like we did this morning.

Lunches again have the usual cafe fare of burgers and fries, hot and cold sandwiches, salads, gyros, soups and chili, and some specials Suppers consist of fried chicken meat loaf, some steaks, salads, some Italian dishes like spaghetti and mosticholi, as well as open faced turkey and beef, stir fry oriental dishes, and all you can eat specials, like pork chops, chicken, pasta. They also have daily specials to augment their regular menu or to offer a lower price on thier regular fare The service is usually good but there is a turnover in staff mainly because waitressing is not considered as a full time job for most people But it is not crowded so two waitresses can usually handle the amount of people there. The ambience is basically a friendly neighborhood cafe with mainly middle aged and older people there in the morning for breakfast and business people for lunch. with familes and older couples for dinner The owners are wonderful people who have raised their childen here in Gillespie from grade school through to college. The kids could sometimes be seen working there and were popular and well liked in the community. I give it a four star only because the turnover of cooks sometimes makes for inconsistency on some items. Breakfast and lunch are your best bets though.

The furniture blends seemlessly into the theme of the menu or some such. There are other times when you are content to walk into a clean, simple space where the decor has been put together over the years by many different people, with different quirks and fancies. The furniture is functional, might not even all match...all good. Route 138 Cafe is that second kind of place. The name alone, is so plain sense Midwest, practical. It not some whimsical thought excercise like Nutmeg Hutch or some such. There are no fancy uniforms, the staff might have on T-shirts from the restaurant. We have had no issues with any of the staff, they have been nothing but pleasant, effective and welcoming. We have been here a few times now since moving to the area, this was the first time for lunch. I had a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich with seasoned fries, my wife got a BLT with same. Do splurge for the "special" fries vs. the standard crinkle cut. Somehow crinkle cut fries take me back to elementary school, and no matter how hot and great they may be in this present time, they take me back to luke warm unsalted punishment on a plastic tray. There is nothing fancy about anything I have eaten here. It's not perfect, what is- it is also obviously put together with care. That goes a long way. I have had beautiful, expensive meals and left hungry and full of regret. We left Saturday afternoon feeling full, comfortable and starting to fit in to our "fly-over" retirement.

    Went for dinner with my grandfather. The waitresses were nice, but completely clueless. When a…read morenearby table asked for a manager, they were informed there was no manager. We waited 50 minutes for a chicken wrap and roast beef. They didn't have silverware clean, so we had to wait another 5 or 10 minutes for that after the food came out. There was one cook in the kitchen audibly yelling in the kitchen in time. Though the staff seemed overwhelmed were overwhelmed, although there were less than 10 tables. As someone with experience managing bars and restaurants all over St. Louis, the fault here lies with the owners or management. The staff were not set up for success. There should absolutely be a manager on duty. In fact, it's the law - in illinois you must have certified food protection manager on sight at all times. Not having a second cook on duty sounds like ownership trying to cheap out on overhead. The food was ok. Not bad, and not good. I'm not sure how this place passed a health inspection.
