If you are looking for an old school diner with good food, good prices and ice cream options for…read morebreakfast - you've come to the right spot. Come early because it's not a large space and it gets busy. Coffee was plentiful and hot (and tasty)... service was quick but not hurried and the food was delicious. So much so that most of my meal got stolen from me by my family before I was able to eat it! Definitely worth a visit at any time of day. And I saw multiple milkshakes being made at 8am... so, go for it if that's your breakfast of choice!

Waitress never asked if we wanted any drinks, besides the waters. The sausage gravy and fries had no seasoning whatsoever and the food was just bland.

A glass display case sits empty at the hostess station displaying nothing but lots of smudgy fingerprints. A fitting analogy to the current Courier unfortunately. Patrons come in for lunch and wait several minutes for somebody to seat them. The service suffers from understaffing. I ordered a Veggie Dagwood sandwich. Remember Dagwood Bumstead and his multi layer skyscraper sandwiches?? Not here! This was more of a very dry bread sandwich. Where are the layers of veggies? The layers of cheese? The alfalfa sprouts? The sauce? My sandwich was served with a stale pickle. I asked if I could order a side like potato salad. They had coleslaw - $4 up charge. The place needs to be cleaned up!

I don't even LIKE sliders, but this put me on! You can have many different smaller burgers for the same stomach space as a regular burger... its genius The ambiance of the bar is something that I love as well - whether you go here for a date or just to chit chat with your homies, the dim lighting makes this feel like a speakeasy, but the server's (who clearly work very hard, so props!) move around with such delicate urgency it makes you feel as though this place is the spot everyone wants to be at. Loved the food and the environment.

I had the vegetarian version of eggs Benedict, I can't remember what they called it. It was a large portion, I could only eat half, but it was a little too watery to take home with me. I know I wouldn't have eaten it later. Hubs had the mess (eggs scrambled with other ingredients) with pancakes, and he mostly focused on the pancakes because he knew the mess would heat up well for another meal.

We ordered the Fried Chicken and Beef N' Noodles. The chicken was the best fried chicken I've had outside of the South. The Beef N' Noodles tastes really good too. The sides were not great but edible. We ordered the Apple Dumplin' even though we were full and it is not to be missed. I would go back just for this dessert.

The ribs were *beyond amazing*. No joke. I know they serve other things, but do NOT miss the ribs. All of their sauces are GF so you don't have to worry about what you're eating. And for those of you craving carbs that aren't diet-restricted, the Cheddar Jalapeño Corn Bread was delish. Located in an old train station, it has a HUGE gorgeous bar that is the statement piece within the restaurant. But feel free to sit outside when the weather is good.

Both were hot and sweet, my favorite type of sauce. The red cabbage coleslaw was delicious and plentiful. The green beans and tomatoes were awesome. I wish they had greens too , but no. I also tried the polish sausage because somebody on Yelp said it was secretly the best thing on the menu. It was very good, but I'd say the brisket was better. Lots of nice craft beers available - some local. The service was nice and friendly. Nicole was my bartender/server. I enjoyed hearing about her favorite menu items. As you'll see from my receipt, everything has an itemized cost, so the place is a little pricey. But still worth it to me.

Watson's is one of the cleaner and shinier hangouts but it still has some campus vibes. A lot to choose from. The prices aren't bad for portion and quality. Coming in the first time it wasn't that busy. It's a lot crazier when school is in session. This has been around for a while now but it's still a pretty cleaner looking kind of place okay to bring families of students or whatever. A lot on the menu. There's shit tons of drinks and we got a few of these. It's about $5 to get a slushie which hit the spot because outside it was hot. There's a few flavors to choose from which rotate. Among the cocktails are a few that are cool looking. I got one of the seasonal specials, the Campfire Mule. This was made with ginger beer, lime, and whiskey. It's about $12 for the cheapest entrees. She got the Tofu Basket, which was big enough for a meal. This was panko breaded tofu triangles and waffle fries, with a choice of a sauce. I got the Watson's Po Boy. This comes with a choice of protein and I got tofu. Comes topped with lettuce, onions, and a choice of sauce and got it with the vegan remoulade. Great stuff. Also has plenty of choices for chicken. They got the hot style. Got to say it has lots to choose from. It's closed Mondays and Tuesdays. There's chicken of course but also plenty of things for vegans and vegetarians.

I am here for Ebertfest and it has now taken over an hour to get drinks, food, and dessert. I am trying to flag down my server because I was worried about the amount of time it was taking. She apologized and took off the dessert, but she seemed to be the only one working. I was near the back so I got to see all the other servers "yucking" it up and just standing around while this poor lady was doing laps. I am from the service industry and only 40 so I'm not being a Karen. This server deserves a huge raise and probably a better job. Pair that with them cutting down the menu, this place went to a "must see" in Champaign to a maybe. What I ate was tasty, but the rest of Champaign has caught up and starting to leave them behind.

I visited Bob Evans on Sunday for breakfast. The place was full, but I received excellent service…read more The food was good albeit a bit pricey, compared to some of the other diners in town. The restaurant is always clean, and the mature servers are always very pleasant to deal with There were things I did not like. Even though there were about a dozen open tables, the hostess attempted to seat me, a solitary woman, handicapped and limping in the corner next to the bathrooms. I find this happens a lot at Bob Evans, when I am alone and I don't appreciate it. The other thing that really bothered me was that the cashier person (younger female) at the counter accepting payment loudly bragged to a younger male waiter that he had been tipped $100 by a group of young people. Then both of them laughed and made fun of the young man who had tipped so very well because they assumed that he had used Daddy's credit card and even stated that it was easy to be generous when you were using Daddy's card. I personally thought that they were ingrates, inappropriately loud, and it made me glad that they had not served me. Furthermore, I wasn't even thanked because they were so busy making fun of the generous party that had left just before me. This type of behavior needs to be resolved by management. It was tasteful and highly unacceptable.

We started with the Cinnabiscuits, which was a solid choice. It gives you the great taste of their biscuits combined with sweet cinnamon.

Not only is it rich and creamy but it comes with free refills.
