This Walmart was in almost every way very much like a Walmart. It was massive, had a massive…read moreparking lot, had a gas station with reasonable fuel prices, was out of carrots (okay, that might be an outlier), had clean bathrooms and an overall presentable store, had employees who are overworked and protect their time by avoiding eye contact and being utterly indifferent to customers, and this one has a liquor store (Illinois is reasonably flexible with its licensing laws) that apparently one must check out from separately to avoid cross-contamination between wholesome groceries and sinful booze. (I'm speculating on that last part.) The beer selection in the booze store was on the suboptimal side, but any port in a storm when you're on the way to the hotel after driving a million hours.

Inside a supermarket that seems untouched by time--Kirby Foods in Effingham--you'll find a…read moretrain-themed eatery called "The Iron Horse." Staffed almost entirely by high schoolers, they still managed to craft a Breaded Pork Tenderloin (BPT), which is so impressive, you'd think it could only be made by someone with a divorce or two under their belt. The balance of juice to crunch was nearly perfect. While some might find it slightly under-pounded and gently fried, the quality of the loin itself was so exceptional that any shortcomings were easy to overlook. The breading's seasoning was a bit subtle for my taste, but the fundamentals were so solid that nitpicking felt irrelevant. The tray was teal. The mustard was yellow. The meat was quality. The vegetables were crispy. The Onion rings are ideal. ...all for under $10.

It also seems for at least the lunch time, they set up some main meal such as chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, rolls and a few dessert options. I didn't go with the salad/soup bar, but it looked really good and I'll probably take that option next time. But wait, there's more ! As mentioned, this a cafeteria style cafe, serving Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. The menu has a good variety of foods. The breakfast menu seems to cover the basics, and for lunch/dinner, the items range from chicken, ham, pork, roast beef, fish and of course all the basic sides, such as corn, mashed potatoes, and oh my gosh, some really nice looking desserts. The chocolate pie was really good ! But wait, there is another cool thing to add. If you are hankering for a nice, fresh submarine sandwich, well just go on over to the deli where they have fresh breads and serve up Boar's Head deli meats and cheeses, custom made by super friendly sandwich assemblers and then you can eat it in the dining area... it does not get any better than this folks ! And wait till you see the prices, as they are very wallet friendly, especially considering the quality and quantity of the food you get here ! I'm so happy this place is so close to my work and you can bet I'll be a regular here !!
