We say ourselves and waited for about 10 mins for someone to come to our table and greet us. When no one came, I went to ask for a menu, and as I was standing waiting to ask, I was snapped at with a rude, "What is it"?" When I kindly asked for a menu, I was rudely told, "We see you; we know you're there. We'll come to you." Not feeling confident the service would be good and that we would get our food in a timely manner, we decided to leave and hit up Dunkin. Can't speak for the food but if you're wanting a pleasant dining experience, not confident you're going to find it here.

I felt so sorry for the crew- they all looked miserable and were sweating profusely. My husband propped one of the doors open to help the situation. When we were leaving , I suggested that they keep one of the doors on the other side so there could at least be a breeze. But the woman told me that they were not allowed to keep the doors open:(( Many years ago , I worked in a fast food place so I know how awful it is to work in that environment in addition to the low pay. The manager should have at the very least brought in fans for the staff working in a hot kitchen/or at the staff.

If you have never been, you should certainly try this local fav! Full of fun car related decor, its a warm welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff, wonderful food and great prices! They were busy but we were seated right away. Our server, Sierra, got our drink order while we checked out the menu. Almost everyone got steak, except my uncle who got the taco salad. I ordered the Cheyenne Sirloin with sauted mushrooms and onions, a couple people ordered ribeyes and other steaks. The food came out fast, hot and fresh! My medium rare steak was perfect and came with a big baked potato. All the steaks were wonderful and Unc pronounced taco salad fresh and delicious! Besides the terrific food and fun ambiance, what made our visit special was our server, Sierra. She was very friendly, helpful and attentive with order updates, refills and checked on us several times through the meal. Terrific Service!

After seeing this restaurant pop up on commercials as the best burgers in central Illinois 100…read moretimes on a Cardinal Cub game, I decided to give it a shot and see if there was any validity to their claim. There was not.... Pulled up and ordered a double cheese burger with everything and a French fry and large Coke. Their pricing is way more expensive than any other independent burger joint and they nickel and dime you pretty hard on the items. 70 cents more for lettuce and tomato each, which I understand and that's typical for most restaurants anymore. $4.35 for a French fry that was old and tasted like it had sat under a heat lamp for an hour wasn't worth it. Their large drink was a medium and it was like $4-5 too, but the coke had the worse metallic taste to it like the lines were serious dirty. Was undrinkable. So you are looking at $20 before tax just for a "combo" which they don't offer... Let's get to the sandwich- it wasn't special and for $9.35 for just the meat, cheese and bun wasn't worth it either. They put condiments on the bottom bun which made it a soggy mess and when I went to pick it up, it was like wet dough because how soggy it was. Pretty sure it was one single slice of cheese and the burgers weren't thin and crispy but seemed like they try to make them like that, but I am guessing the size of each patty was 5-6 oz each maybe, so that is more meat than other typical independent restaurants. It almost tasted like charred or burnt and just wasn't special. Would I return? No, it's not worth the drive or the price for their products because everyone of them Had issues and was the most expensive "combo" I've bought at a tiny local burger joint.

I asked a patron if this was the taco place and he let me know they'd moved to 546 N Brush College Rd. I hopped back in my car and made my way to their new location. I walked in right as they opened so the restaurant was quiet but inviting. After a quick view of the menu I ordered two birria tacos and one al pastor, Mexican style. First bite of the birria taco brought a literal tear to my eye! I've been craving a taste of real Mexican food ever since I left California for my new life in Decatur. My only request is that the pineapple not be cooked with the meat in the al pastor tacos. Pineapple loses its sparkle when it's cooked (in my humble opinion). Otherwise, this was the taste of home I've been craving! I will definitely be back.
