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.

A real hidden gem located on the outskirts of Dixon Illinois. We went for lunch on a Saturday and…read morewere seated immediately. 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.

The skin wasn't rendered down properly making it like rubber. You could still see the white fat and wasn't crispy at all. It wasn't even brown. It was a huge letdown. The wild rice had no flavor and strawberry sauce added nothing. Was told cheese cake was great, but it wasn't even cheesecake. It was a cheesecake crust with a custard center. It was okay but don't call it cheesecake. Only one other customer, so I wouldn't be surprised if others feel the same way. The ambiance was cold. We expected so much more when spending $200+ , so please practice cooking duck

After dropping off my brother at the race I needed some breakfast. This place was a little bit of…read morean unassuming building, that almost looked like a truck stop. Wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but I gave it a try. I had biscuits and gravy, American fries, and corn beef hash. Pros: + Biscuits and gravy were solid and it wasn't cheap on the gravy , sometimes places get a little cheap on the meat. It was satisfying. + The American Fries were pretty great after just a little salt. Cooked just the way I like it. + For a side of the road diner, this place was very well kept and clean on the inside. I could tell it was important to the staff. + Benny's is deceptive large with ample seating, and can handle larger groups with a back room. Parking lot was pretty big too. + Something about the atmosphere here. The staff and customers here were easily 90% on a first name basis on a Saturday morning. Very relaxed and casual atmosphere. Very old school. Cons: - Speaking of old school, NO credit or debit card use as of the date of this review. They post a sign for this right on the door. It isn't an issue for me personally, but it can be for potential diners in 2024. - The corned beef hash was a miss for me, but I don't know if it was the establishment or if I'm the problem. I've just been used to eating Hormel corned beef hash a specific way for 30 years, and maybe it wasn't what I expected. Regardless, while worth mentioning this does not factor in my review. Bottom Line: This would easily be a frequent stop if I was a local. Small diners like this are a dime a dozen in the United States. They all have very similar menus and ambience, but it is a question of execution that separates them. Typically the credit card thing would bump down to a 4, but I have a lot of respect for this place and atmosphere, so I side with the locals and go with the 5 stars.

It was taking so long that even the host went back to check on my order 3x. When she realized i had been sitting there for 40mins she got her manager. The manager comes to the front with an attitude scolding the host then turned her fat aggression at me saying..."I took the order and you were late picking it up!" First of all your dumbass was in the back you didn't even see when I arrived! Secondly they didn't even have a name attached to the order! And third since when did it start that an employees argues with a customer? If I were candlelight...I'd get rid of that rude fat sweaty bitch!

Now, where I am from, fried chicken is sacred. They seem to use a wet batter (like the one long john silvers uses) a common batter used for fish, used for chicken. There is generally nothing wrong with this, but if you do not season your chicken or your batter you are in deep fry (water). When we were there I literally saw them opening up CANS of "chicken gravy" and taking frozen fries from the freezer. The sauce is too sweet for me and has an interesting dulce de leche consistency. So you have bland chicken breast, sugar sauce, and frozen or canned food you have BBY.
