A lot of room for groups. There's a surprising amount of space. Basic menu items to get. It's got better drinks than food to be honest. There's actually some pretty thoughtfully made up cocktails especially for seasons. Also lots of the beers. The cocktails include the classics and modern stuff. A lot of beers on tap along with more in bottles and cans. It's about $6 for a basic cocktail like whiskey and whatever. As for the food it's mostly meaty. They even have the salads topped with bacon so it's not good for plant based people. It's about $11 to get the Beer Nuggets. These are pizza dough rolls fried and served with marinara sauce. Actually it was better than expected. The menu also includes plenty of meaty choices if you like things like fish and pork. For sure it's one of the most popular restaurants in the area. It's located on State Street at Prairie. There's plenty of TVs for watching games or whatever.

There were only two people working the bartender and a waitress. We waited like 5 minutes of not longer to get a greeting . It took like 5 more minutes to get seated. We grabbed menus to get an idea of what we might want to eat. I went into the restaurant part looking for an employee. She was wiping down empty tables saw me but never acknowledged my presence. The bartender saw us standing waiting to be seated and also didn't acknowledge us. I didn't understand why it took so long to get seated there were only 3 people at a table and the rest of the restaurant was empty. There were a few people at the bar. When we finally got seated the waitress asked if the table was dirty we said yes but she didn't wipe it or anything. She was saying that she had like 35 boys come in to eat and messed up the whole other side of the restaurant. She got us our drinks and then asked if we were ready to order. We said Please give us a few minutes to decide. When she took our order she was nice. When we got our food my friend ordered the Niko burger the bacon was rubbery and not even half cooked. She poured A1 sauce on the side and it was very watery it wasn't thick like normal A1 sauce should be. My partner ordered chicken fingers the meat inside was good and had the crisp on the outside, I ordered an Italian beef sandwich it was good but only had meat on half the sandwich and didn't melt in your mouth. I was only given a very small 2 tablespoons side of au jus. The waitress got us our refills but wasn't attentive like I would expect considering we were the only people in the restaurant. Is it a place I would go back to? Probably not. I was disappointed considering it was downtown Marengo. The ambience was wilderness and forest themed the restaurant was clean but the women's bathroom was not.

The ingredients are always fresh and you can choose what goes on your sandwich. You can choose the bread for your sandwich, but I always ask for the freshest bread whatever it is since a chosen bread type is sometimes stale and hard. The service is great, but how your sandwich is constructed often depends on the employee. Plus, they sometimes go a bit heavy on the condiments/dressings. Overall, the sandwiches are very good. Otherwise, we wouldn't go back so often.

When people stay here at my motel Sunset Motel in Marengo Illinois or the prices are $45 a day with flat screen TVs Wi-Fi all amenities of the larger Hotel I suggest that they go there for breakfast and other places around I think Marengo has a lot to offer it still has a small-town feel to it they have great places to eat nice people they have a nice motel in town that only charges $45 a day. read more

Great place to grab lunch. It's a bit expensive for a quick bite but the quality is there and in my opinion something that I would pay extra for. The place is small but very nicely put together.

That's what I love about food trucks. You can go someplace completely different out in the open and have lunch or dinner. They're not all great, but it's always fun to experience new foods and new ways of eating them whether it be a festival a forest preserve, a town Square or even a micro brewery. Food trucks are always a fun quirky option. So having the opportunity to eat a Panini from uncle Cam's was one I've been looking forward to for some time. We all know that food trucks aren't inexpensive but neither is going to get counter service at your local sandwich shop or even fast food restaurants like McDonald's, Taco Bell, etc. So I walked up to the window and I ordered The Cam Panini, which has ham, turkey, cheese, pickles, (which taste like their homemade) onions all the toppings you can imagine, (but FYI, I was torn between The Cam and the Rio Grande something a little more spicy) The Cam didn't disappoint. The Panini sandwich came with chips and slaw plus I ordered a side of bruschetta, but we'll wait on that. It didn't take long to get my order. It was hot, crunchy and delicious! The bread was perfectly done, crunchy on the outside had that perfect chew to it that rustic panini breads should have. When you bite into it, all the ingredients on the sandwich blend together so perfectly. Sounds kind of funny but all those tastes plus that crunchy, warm bread are over the top delicious. Now for the bruschetta... Oh my goodness! So much topped on to the bread that it was falling off. It had the great balsamic flavor on top with all the chopped tomatoes, garlic, seasonings. It's everything you would expect from bruschetta, but that fresh flavor was so good. I think there were six or eight pieces in the order and it was filling and much better than some bruschetta I've had at restaurants. Everything paired well with my Kolsch beer at CLB and I didn't feel ultra full. I can't wait till they get back there so I can try the Rio Grande because it sounded way too good too. There's other sandwiches on the menu but for myself, those were the two is opting for that night. Oh and my reason for 4 stars is I wish there was just a bit more meat on the sandwich but that's not going to keep me away.
