My husband had come to this location once, when it was Galena Steak House. At that time I would…read morehave given 5 stars. We decided to check it out since becoming Mom's, and I was a bit disappointed. The service was really nice and serving sizes, generous but my food was room temperature and bland. I had the biscuits and gravy, bacon, and hash browns. My husband's food was hot and he said taste good. His fries and sandwich were fresh and hot. I know because I tasted a steaming hot fry. He tasted mine and agreed my food was not even warm. My bacon actually had that greasy film it gets when it sits and gets cold. I didn't say anything because I have never sent food back and wouldn't feel comfortable doing so.

I was underdressed for the air conditioning, so our server found a sweater for me to use while there. This is the same place that covered my daughter's tab when she was stranded there with her 3 year old, due to her broken down car. When she went to pay, they said it was on them. Good people and food.

Service was great (we sat at the bar) and the ambiance is bar-like (nothin' fancy). Good prices too. Took half mine home for another meal later. OH, almost forgot.... I think their green beans are FRESH?!?

You're unlikely to find this eatery by accident, so make the effort, it's worth it…read more A unique menu , with nightly specials that are not the same old thing. The salad bar has some different things, as well, like pickled herring. I ordered the massive fried pork tenderloin and a side of onion rings, some of the best I've had anywhere, and I've probably had them in 30+ countries. The tenderloin had a light batter crust, crispy but fried just lightly enough that the pork retained it's juicyness. They have a number of fish offerings, I hope to return to try some of those.

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.

Our server did a great job of explaining gluten free options for me with a little help from the manager. When he suggested how he could modify the Rodeo Burger I was sold.

My husband ordered the Trash Can fries and they too came loaded with smokey, tender pulled pork. I would definitely return when in the area again.

We've been eating at Culver's in Dixon every Friday night for 3-years and usually, the food is…read morefantastic. However, 3 out of 5 times, our order is messed-up; which requires a trip back across town to remedy the situation. It seems when we have the time to check our order before leaving, that the order is correct, but every time we don't, the order is messed-up. We understand that mistakes happen, but having them happen so often is very frustrating. Last night, after having to hold the clerk's hand through the ordering process, (he seemed untrained, or *if* trained; hadn't retained the information. The process was slow, riddled with errors, and just excruciating ), a burger was missing from our order upon our return home, and we were also given the wrong size of side. We were in a hurry last night, and of course, didn't check our order before leaving the restaurant. So, back across town we drove to have the order fixed. After so many mistakes in the past, my fiancé was fed-up and her energy wasn't the best upon our return to Culver's. There was no swearing or screaming by my fiancé, just frustration and a terse tone from having to return to the restaurant so often to fix their mistakes. The manager decided to match that energy and the exchange I witnessed between she and my fiancé was pretty unbelievable. The sticking-point was the wrong size of side. We had ordered a large several times through the ordering-process, but received a medium. Upon checking our receipt, we'd only *paid* for the medium, but my fiancé felt the upgrade to the large should have been comped, considering the wasted time, gas, and these mistakes happening way too often. The manager felt differently and insisted upon charging for the upgrade, which would have been ok, if her energy about the situation had been better. She seemed more offended that my fiancé expressed that the clerk initially taking the order was untrained than she was making a mistake on a $50 burger order. She was snarky, argumentative, and after seeing her deal with my fiancé like this, I just stepped-in and requested a full refund; which was given without hesitation and with as flippant of an attitude as I've ever seen from someone in management dealing with this type of situation. I was wowed by the entire exchange. So, now, instead of the buck or whatever that Culver's may have lost on the upgrade, they've lost $50 in business every Friday, because the manager couldn't check her ego. That's EXACTLY what the issue was. She was rubbed wrong by my fiancés energy, and did nothing to de-escalate the situation. In fact, she seemed to be happy about making things even worse. In our careers, one mistake can get us fired. We understand that everyone is on edge now, and are as tolerant and understanding as possible with people, but these mistakes happening so often and having the manager so apathetic was remarkable. This girl shouldn't be managing anything, and we've made our final Friday night run to Culver's. I'm sure another local restaurant will appreciate the business and even get our order correct.
