Customers across from us also said their brisket was also very dry. Update.... Manager took the ribs off of the bill for us. We appreciate the great response and gracious offer.

It's mostly farm folks and locals that come here. I got a biscuits & gravy omelette. You heard that right, it's an omelette with the biscuits inside and smothered with gravy. It's a neat concept except the gravy isn't homemade and could use a little sausage flavor. It was just bland. Other than that, it's a really neat concept. You get plenty of food for your money, and you pay at the counter or the waitress can take it, but in this day she was pretty busy so we took it to the counter. All in all, not bad. I'll try em again on a day that isn't 3 feet from the sun!

I had noticed this restaurant and bar in my GPS several times, and since I had my wife with me, I…read morethought today would be a good day to stop by and try it out. It is literally out in the country in the middle of Walton, which you could miss if you blink while driving through it. Décor wise, this place is classic backwoods lodge - it has light plank paneling all over the walls and ceilings, with the usual obligatory beer signs scattered around the place. There are two gaming areas, 3 games in the northwest corner, and 3 more in the southeast corner. They are the usual slot machines and a bill breaker / cash out / redemption unit. They also had a TouchTunes Jukebox near the southeast corner. For a Friday around lunch time, the place was fairly busy. I was attracted to both the Prime Rib Sandwich special, which came with potato salad and a dessert (a nice piece of cake) or their 3 chicken strip lunch. I asked the waitress which was better - she was a steak fan so she recommended and I went with the Prime Rib Sandwich. My wife went with the 3 chicken strip lunch with potato salad as well. Where to start? I guess with the Prime Rib Sandwich. It was thinly sliced Prime Rib with cheese on top. It came with a dish of au jus as well. It was on thickly sliced bread, and to be honest, it was darn good for $12. The potato salad was also tasty. My wife's eyes widened when the chicken strips arrived - they were HUGE. She managed to get through 1 and 3/4 and asked me if I wanted the rest of them, so naturally I said yes. The chicken tasted good and the ranch dressing provided for dip was tasty as well. I was going back to work, so I had a Root Beer and she had an iced tea. The Mens room was nice and clean and smelled clean. Tables and seating were clean and orderly. TVs were in the area, and service was good overall.

The parking is free and pretty close to the door. I didn't see any designated handicap parking. Entering the establishment is pretty accessible as long as someone can open the door and help you up the one very small step to get in the door. The service was outstanding, our server was very quick to seat us, bring us our drinks and gave us a few minutes to go over the menu. The menu is pretty varied for a small bar serving appetizers, pizza, sandwiches and dinners. The night we were there they were not serving pizza so one of us ordered the shrimp dinner and the other ordered the spaghetti dinner adding a sausage and a meatball. The food came out pretty quick and hot. The shrimp was the prebreaded frozen variety and a couple were undercooked and couldn't be be eaten but other than that it was a tasty meal. The spaghetti had a homemade tasting sauce and the sausage and meatball was unique. The prices are very reasonable across the whole menu. They do have several gaming machines if you are into that.

They were served their food and we're done eating and we never got ours so we walked out. I can't comment on the food because we never got it. They ran after us after we sat there for more than an hour, and our food was up by that time we were over it we gave our business to a local church and their food was excellent, and their service was even better.

The pork tenderloin, also known as BPT (b is for breaded) is a popular sandwich in the Upper…read moreMidwest, particularly in Iowa and Indiana. And occasionally in Illinois. It's similar to Wienerschnitzel. A pork cutlet is cut and then smashed to make it larger and thinner, dipped in breading, sometimes cornmeal, panko, crushed saltines and deep-fried. It is usually served on a hamburger bun, garnished with any or all: tomatoes, lettuce, mayo, pickles, onions. Frequently accompanied by fries as a side. There's been a friendly competition among purveyors to lay claim to the title of "the largest," and certainly in Illinois the small town of Smitty's in Leonore, takes the title. Leonore is a booming locale south of Lasalle-Peru, 100 miles West of Chicago. Population 13o. I rolled down there on a Saturday, aiming to beat the lunch "crowd" so I called in my order (still, as of this date, curbside service only). Both I and the sandwich arrived at the same time, and like those who have gone before, I agree, this baby is YUGE. And delicious. Proper amount of breading, gently seasoned, good quality pork taste and texture. Excellent pickles and fresh cut onions. There are tables outdoor for diners to enjoy their BPT's or other items until the interior opens up again. Worth a drive. Iowa has an entire "Tenderloin Trail" you can try and conquer. Go on, go for it. You know you want to!
