Aspen Tap House is a great place for watching any games. Has tons of TVs around and there's a party atmosphere usually going on. The prices are okay for portions. A location away from the campus craziness but it still can get loud. It's close to a few hotels, so it's a great place for travelers. The menu has about what one should expect, with shit tons of beers and many of these are local as well. Got a few good ones. It's about $7 a pint. Best we had of these was the White Oak Brewery selection #CharmingAF. This was refreshing and smooth. It's about $12 for the cheapest burgers. We each got the Black Bean Burger, which comes with guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream but I left off the last one. Also gets a choice of a side, so okay value for it. I got it with a salad. A lot of other meaty options available. They have tacos and the Impossible meat is an option. For sure it pretty much seems like Applebee's or some generic polished sports bar and grill but it's okay to be honest. It's located on Neil Street to the south of the campus stuff. There's meaty things as well as options for vegans and vegetarians.

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! Put a little pride into the menu.

We were so glad to find a Portillo's on our vacation. We had visited them in Florida a few years…read moreback and really liked the food. This one in Champaign was just as good. I got the Italian beef with sweet & hot peppers with the gravy on the side (I don't like my sandwich falling apart on me) and french fries. My husband got the hot dogs, which came dressed with a dill pickle, tomatoes, and hot peppers, and a side of onion rings. We also splurged with the yummy-looking desserts (strawberry shortcake and lemon cake) in the cooler near the register. Everything was so good. The beef (which there was plenty of!) had so much flavor even without the gravy. The bun it was on was hearty enough to hold it. The hot dogs tasted good quality. The fries were good (not at all greasy), and the onion rings had such a good flavor, not overly breaded. The desserts were a perfect ending. The restaurant was very clean (including the bathrooms). There was someone cleaning something (including the walls) the entire time we were there. I wish we had one closer to where we live here in Ohio!

I ordered a big beef. And it had close to the same amount of beef a regular had on it. When I ordered the kid that was at the register seemed lost. How do you want your beef. To me there's three options. Dry, wet, or dipped. I said wet he said so dipped. No just a little extra wetness. So you want it on the side no. Just wet. So on the side. So I had to add my own gravy. Why do I have to make my sandwich. Cause if I did I would've put a lot more beef on it. Then they completely had the bathrooms closed for cleaning how's one supposed to wash their hands after eating.

However, there is one thing I can guarantee, this place is very family oriented. It isn't like the other bars. The other bars can be very crowded, and very weird. This is the perfect place to go to during the day and have a nice burger. Night time can be crowded sometimes, but never anything absurd. One thing that separates this bar from the others is that every single employee is family. It is extremely noticeable, and makes the business flow a bit more. This is definitely one of my favorite bars on campus, I tend to go to Joes more than any other bar on campus. Hoping this place stays great and I will look forward to coming back here after I graduate. Like I said at the beginning. Joes. It is not that bad. Long live Joes!!!! Signing off. Parker.

Apparently also has food but nothing was going on in the kitchen. The place is known for the big patio and gameday parties. Basic big time crowded hangout. It's especially crazy when school is in session. This place gets pretty quiet when it's not and is usually closed on breaks or whatever. Getting your drink on is the main thing about it. It's about $5 to get the cheapest mixers like whiskey mixed with whatever. Apparently has food. Fried appetizers like mozzarella sticks. Basic fried items. There's also a few burgers and chicken sandwiches. Of course they have to be open first. The last few times here there was nothing on the menu worth getting to be honest. Great place to get wasted to be certain. It's located on 5th Street at Green. The place gets pretty quiet in summer.

More than five years have passed since I even had a Five Guys burger, which would have been from their Medford, MA location next to Wellington Station. Finally, after 3 years of living in Urbana, IL and splurging on fast-food burgers everywhere, the time had come to give their Champaign joint a try. Given how scary past Yelp reviews describe them, do they fulfill our Five Guys' experiences of old and carry on their reputation? The answer: A big, fat, dripping with cheese and fresh toppings, YES! Spacious, clean, free peanuts for the taking, freshly made in front of you, and served piping hot, we were reminded last night why we adore Five Guys. That burger, a cross between Culver's and Wendy's (by my quick estimation), was divine. Those cajun fries were as tasty and addicting as I remembered. The service, while not above and beyond cheery, was communicative and all that was necessary. Yes, they are pricey, but you do get a very filling burger with as many free toppings as you want. We also were given a bag full of those cajun fries, although we were spared extra regular fries we had ordered, oddly enough. All that considered, we are very happy to have Five Guys back in our lives once again.

We get all the way home (20 minutes away, mid-move with fridge EMPTY) and open our boxes to see what is presented to you the viewer. When we called the business they confirmed what toppings were supposed to be on it THEN scrambled for excuses, "did you check under the Patty, there should have been another box with the other toppings.
