I looked at the local Yelp reviews and this sounded good. Our server was friendly and like clockwork when it came to keeping our coffee cups refilled with steaming hot and very good coffee (because it was freezing cold out there baby!). I really enjoyed my steak and eggs. The steak was tender and the eggs were cooked according to my instructions. The inside was decorated with pictures of Illinois' two favorite sports teams - which would be the Cardinals and the Cubs, along with historical references to old Route 66 that had so much influence on these small towns in Southern Illinois. We had a very good meal, great service, and all at a very reasonable cost. I recommend you check this place out.

I ordered the catfish with green beans and a cup of Vegetable Beef Barley soup, for which I tasted an unknown spice that did not suit my palate well. Green beans were lightly seasoned with onion and tiny pieces of ham. Hubby had the fried chicken with French fries and Cole slaw. Overall, we enjoyed a delicious hot meal with very friendly and accommodating employees! It's worth the stop!! P.S. Their iced tea was delicious and strong!

Biscuits and gravy is one of those things I always think sounds good on a menu and I'm always disappointed. At this place I'd say the biscuit was very good and the gravy was okay. Eggs were eggs. Fine. Good hashbrowns. Good coffee. We got a cinnamon roll to share among all of us at our table. It was very good. Hot, soft, fluffy, sweet, yeasty in that good way. I'd call it the highlight of the meal. The various items in the bakery case looked delicious. Cozy, family-friendly interior. We really enjoyed the experience and would definitely return.

The Three Cheese Cajun Shrimp Dip looked like overcooked cheese with little to no shrimp, and the chips tasted stale. The Railshake Burger was okay, but the sweet potato fries came covered in cinnamon without us being asked if we wanted it. The chicken wrap had very little chicken, although the tater tots were good. We also weren't offered any condiments. It's disappointing because we used to really enjoy this place. After two disappointing visits in a row, we're not sure we'll be back. We hope the quality returns to what it once was.

We encountered a challenge while trying to dine out on a Monday evening. Everything was closed or…read moreclosing early. We found this was still open and popped in. It was not busy. But the waiter seemed to be host, waiter, bus boy...and none of it fast. I don't know why, but people came after us, ordered, ate, paid, and left before we got our food. It was a long hour+ wait. No explanation. We were not in a hurry but I'm always baffled when you have such a super long wait with no explanation and no apology. Seeing people come and go as we waited was bizarre. My food was good. Chicken buffalo sandwich and mashed potatoes. Very homey. As we neared the end of eating, our Jack-of-all-trades waiter brought the check and informed us they were closed and seemed to clearly be rushing us out. Umm. We are not the reasons we were there for so long Anywho. It was good. Comfort food type stuff.

There was even a burn hole through the box, which I can only assume came from their food heater. The eggs were alright and honestly the only part of the meal that was edible.

It was a special night, a group of foodie friends got together after not seeing each other for a while. It was a group of 11 and the accommodations and service couldn't have been better. Our server was extremely professional and didn't mind that it was 6 different checks. As our server was telling us the Daily Specials and the Catch of the Day, I immediately knew what I wanted. Whenever I hear, Pan Seared Sea Scallops or anything with Scallops, I'm sold. My scallops (4) were huge and the Risotto that they were served on was moist and flavorful. I also learned that they offer half bottles of wine and one of them is my favorite. I love, Quilt Cabernet Sauvignon. I'm probably going to wine hell because I paired it with my seafood instead of a white wine. Also, I want to give a shout out for their, Crab Stuffed Mushrooms. I've been known to stop by and have them and a Martini and call it a meal. When: February 19, 2026 Why: Meeting up with friends
