Flatlander market in downtown Marengo, is such a great little place for scratch made food. What a tasty lunch. Chili was delicious, it had the right amount of heat for me and the Panini was next level. Definitely looking forward to going back soon. read more

Absolutely amazing little place!! I am so mad at myself for not finding out about it earlier. The owners are some of the nicest people I have met and had the biggest smile on their face the whole time I was there. I loved chatting with them and learning more about their small business. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you're in good company and the restaurant is clean and has a homey atmosphere. The homemade chips are absolutely delicious & I got a panini which was next level!! Prices are just as amazing as the food. $14 for a full meal and a drink...you can't get that anymore!! I am so excited I found this gem and already planning to come back this weekend! read more

The food was EXCELLENT! One of the best Ruben sandwiches I have ever had. I was with my family (6 of us-- 4 adults and 2 kids). Everything was delicious read more

Adorable place with great food and desserts! Everyone's very kind and the food is made quickly to order. We love the Chicken pesto panini and their m&m cookie!! Will return! read more

I usually like to support small local businesses, but unfortunately, my recent visit here was disappointing. My cousins and I (party of 11; ages between 3-21) came in ready to enjoy a meal, but the cashier's rude and unprofessional attitude ruined the experience from the start. One of my cousins was already walking over to throw out his drink when the cashier unnecessarily told him to "go throw it away then" -- even though he clearly was already doing it. She rolled her eyes and made us feel like we were a problem just for being there. Because of how unwelcome we felt, we decided to take our food to go instead of dining in. When we told the cashier we'd like to switch it to takeout, she got visibly annoyed and frustrated just because she had to transfer the food into a to-go box. Again, completely unnecessary attitude. We came in hoping for good food and a good time, but we left feeling disrespected and uncomfortable. Won't be coming back. read more

As a food enthusiast , I was absolutely delighted with the service and food at Flatlanders. I ordered the chicken pesto panini and my wife got the turkey bacon ranch wrap. Both meals were delicious and extremely flavorful. My wife especially enjoyed the complimentary pickle and homemade chips. Only complaint is I wish the rewards system was much better. Feels there is no consistency in the system. read more

Food was good as always but the cashier was very rude. When we were approaching I was looking for a garbage to throw away a drink I was drinking prior she saw me and said no outside drinks and I said I know I was going to throw it away and she said " do it then". Then we asked if there was more seating to see if we could combine tables then she gave us attitude with her hand. So after that we felt uncomfortable eating there so we asked if we could take it to go. She turned around and slammed the back counter. Then we got our food and left. We loved coming here to eat normally everybody is friendly so I don't know why this time was a bad experience. read more

Bad Food no consistency and SUPER UNFRIENDLY!!!!!!! Rolling their eyes and very impatient. Will never go there again!

Food is always delicious. Their homemade chips are very good as well. Staff is very friendly.

Had the opportunity to have a meal for my wife & myself, thanks to my Boss. We heard good things about Flatlander's in Marengo Il, specifically their Chicken Pesto Meal. Must say it's a keeper! Well balanced and not over powering. Most likely will try other options, but this one will be one of my favorites! View photos of the portions. Quite satisfying. Cheers & Mangia! read more

Flatlanders came to Marengo when I was a teen and it was an instant hit with my mother and I. We regularly got their turkey bacon ranch wrap and it was a delight especially when fresh; the ultimate grilled cheese was a second favorite go to but the CHIPS, goodness, I love how thick they were and an excellent amount of crunch. I only dined in a handful of times but they were always patient and helpful, and the atmosphere had plenty of things to keep my wandering eye busy while I waited for the food. I'm sad I missed getting lunch during my last pass through my hometown! Always a home run! read more

Favorite order; homemade potato chips with the artichoke and roasted red pepper panini. Coffee is at a counter in carafes, so there are free refills. No fountain drinks :( Service isn't very friendly but you order at the counter so it doesn't matter too much. Delicious baked goods treats showcased in a glass counter gives the dining room a hometown cozy vibe. read more

Absolutely love this place, there food and selection is top notch, I highly recommend trying this place.

Delish! Made with care and wonderful ingredients by a local owners/family. Lattes are best ever in my opinion!

Lunchtime on Monday for four was delightful. The wraps were chock full, with the contents like lettuce chopped nice and small, the way I like it. Just the right amount of mustard on the ham wrap. I really like their homemade potato chips. I love the 'antique' decor and ambiance; there's nothing fast-foody about Flatlander's, which is why it's our destination breakfast and lunch restaurant. read more

Yum. Cute deli downtown Marengo. Vintage decor makes it seem quaint, but the food was delish. Turkey pannini was very good. Five stars. Friend got a Cuban he enjoyed, and also 5 stars. Homemade cookies were "just like his grandma made" We will definitely come back. read more

I'm a new Marengo resident and strongly prefer to support local and family-owned businesses. My wife and I came across this place several months ago and enjoyed the food at our first visit. We returned there once thereafter and I went alone another time. While the food - especially the soups - have been excellent at every visit, the personnel are not at all friendly. I tried to strike up a conversation a few times but barely received a reply. Despite the good food quality, I won't return because of the employees' (owners'?) poor attitudes. A shame! read more

Best place for lunch in Marengo. Consistently great sandwiches, year after year. Pictured is the Reuben, which was delicious. Other favorites include Chicken Pesto, Cuban and Artichoke Pepper. Homemade cookies and muffins are a perfect post-lunch treat. You won't regret stopping in. read more

Everything is so good, although I always get the chicken pesto panini! We buy the cookies by the dozen.

A cute little diner with tasty sandwiches!!! Everyone there was super sweet. We loved the homemade chips too!

We are so lucky to live in Marengo so we can visit Flatlanders often. The market burger is an old fashioned delicious burger and the chicken pesto panini is outstanding,. My family has ordered many of their different sandwiches and are always satisfied. If you are in the area or just close to the area make a stop, you won't regret it. Love!!!! Leave room for their bakery cookies! read more

I really suggest everyone try the flatlander market in Marengo. Whether your driving through or you live in the area, you simply cannot go wrong. The homemade potato chips are something to rave about as they were thick and delicious. The sandwiches are all delicious as well, you cannot Go wrong with any of them. A personal favorite is the classic BLT. The homemade carrot cake is so good. Its not your typical carrot cake, but man it's so delicious. A thick cake with lots of nuts, raisins and carrots topped with lightly sweet and fluffy icing. I'll read more

Always wonderful.. the chicken pesto though.., DELICIOUS really cute family owned . My kids love their grilled cheese. There homemade chips are sooo yummy read more

I love this place they always have great food and there chicken Panini sandwich is to die for

It's o.k. just not my first, second, or even third selection. Overpriced. Not the most comfortable either.

I attended an event in Marengo that gave me a buy one get one offer at Flatlander. We decided to use it one night and it was quite a nice surprise. I was impressed with the menu, service and charm of the place. It really is one of those places that you always say, can't wait to get back to. Yes, this is the places. Besides, cute stores nearby too! You can't go wrong! read more

Good food, friendly staff, nice ambiance. Not a lot of food for the money but it's tasty. Not open on Sunday.... I guess everybody needs a day off ! read more

The perfect lunch spot! I have been frequenting Flatlander's for some time now and it never disappoints. The Chicken Pesto is the best I have had and it's paired perfectly with their in house chips. Great spot to meet for lunch and the atmosphere won't disappoint either. Charming owners that may even bring you some sweats during your lunch! read more

I will keep it short by saying yummy, homemade type wholesome food, everything I get is great plus service with a smile. In a sea of chain sandwiches shops this place so much better and is local mom and pop type place. Prices are good to. You will not be disappointed read more

The ambiance was nice, but the food was just average. You definitely don't get too much for your money here, as you can see in my pictures. I'm assuming the owners were the ones that took my order and delivered my food and they were very nice. I go to Wayne's Market to get my meats every so often and figured I'd pop in here to grab some lunch...there isn't much else in Marengo to dine at, so we figured we'd give it a chance. I'd go back, but definitely would not go out of my way to rush back. read more

Good food and great price! Fresh homemade cookie tops off a great lunch! Defined would go back there if I were in the area again.

1st time visiting and I'm very impressed. The chicken pesto is delicious! Great food for a reasonable price. Will definitely come more often! read more

Good food, nice decor. Portions are small, but then so are the prices. Not everyone wants to shell out 12 bucks only to not be able to finish it. Here they give you a choice. Think of it as a "1/2 order" If you're that damned hungry, order 2. It comes out the same. read more

This place has some really good sandwiches that are made fresh to order. French fries are made fresh as well, however, depending on who serves them to you, you receive a good portion or hardly any. CONSISTENCY lacks greatly! Decor is simple, quaint, comfortable. Desserts are delicious; my personal favorite is the RASPBERRY bars. I have driven there just for dessert-oh my GOD so so AWESOME!! Sadly, they don't serve them every day. My biggest issue with this place is the two people behind the counter; father and daughter I believe, they never smile, and really do not show any friendliness or appreciation for my patronage. I am not saying they are bad, or mean, or rude!! They are VOID of any emotion. If I owned a business I would at least say hello, thanks, thank you, take care, good day, good bye, come again... but these two have never said anything close. I've eaten here about 10 times in ten years. Prices aren't the worst, portions are okay, I just can't get past the people who seem so blah... otherwise I would have given it 4 stars. read more
