The first time there was more onions than meat and it was very dry. The last time there wasn't the usual amount of meat and it was dry burnt and crispy. There was hardly any sauce either which made it difficult to get down. Not sure if I'll ever go back.

Brown Jug is where the locals get their drinking and eating on as well as watching games. Maybe it looks pretty ramshackle from the outside, but be assured it's also like that on the inside. The menu is mostly booze, but there's also burgers and various fried stuff. Basically it's one of the places in this town to gather. It's actually a lot nicer than many other places around here. That's not saying a lot. Of course it's possible to get some okay things to drink and eat. Pretty okay prices as far as things on the menu. It's got a lot of drink specials, and one was $3 for vodka so that was cool. Lots of fried and greasy food on the menu. It's about $6 for the Pretzel Bites. These might be the healthiest things to get here. Of course there's also burgers. There's also wings and meaty fried items. Even if it's nothing fancy it's a good place as far as around here. It's open late for around here at least. This is located on Cemetery by the tracks.

We stopped at Joe's Station for dinner during our Route 66 journey in Pontiac. Kids loved where the…read morerestaurant was located because they were able to see trains pass by while we ate. Outside of the kids keeping busy watching the trains, they colored/drew on the paper table cloth until the food arrived. The staff was wonderful! Super friendly and attentive. You place your order at the counter, and when the food is ready, the staff will bring your food to your table. The pizza was really good! We ordered a thin supreme and a thin plain cheese. The ingredients were fresh. For the kids that didn't want pizza, we ordered a hamburger and spaghetti with meatball. No complaints from the kids. They loved their food. The fries were delicious too! Definitely a place to stop when in Pontiac.

First time for us and quite an impressive package they've put together. Wonderful "chicken chunks"…read morewhich they call boneless chicken wings. I don't think the bbq sauce was homemade but the chunks were well done. We ordered as an appetizer and glad we did. The pizza took longer than we expected but was worth the wait. Quite flavorful and large bits of each of the toppings. A very firm crust that we enjoyed and found very filling. We are foodies and can with confidence suggest this restaurant as a must-visit. Great job overall by the team. We were made to made to feel very welcome.

The pork tenderloin, also known as BPT (b is for breaded) is a popular sandwich in the Upper…read moreMidwest, particularly in Iowa and Indiana. And occasionally in Illinois. It's similar to Wienerschnitzel. A pork cutlet is cut and then smashed to make it larger and thinner, dipped in breading, sometimes cornmeal, panko, crushed saltines and deep-fried. It is usually served on a hamburger bun, garnished with any or all: tomatoes, lettuce, mayo, pickles, onions. Frequently accompanied by fries as a side. There's been a friendly competition among purveyors to lay claim to the title of "the largest," and certainly in Illinois the small town of Smitty's in Leonore, takes the title. Leonore is a booming locale south of Lasalle-Peru, 100 miles West of Chicago. Population 13o. I rolled down there on a Saturday, aiming to beat the lunch "crowd" so I called in my order (still, as of this date, curbside service only). Both I and the sandwich arrived at the same time, and like those who have gone before, I agree, this baby is YUGE. And delicious. Proper amount of breading, gently seasoned, good quality pork taste and texture. Excellent pickles and fresh cut onions. There are tables outdoor for diners to enjoy their BPT's or other items until the interior opens up again. Worth a drive. Iowa has an entire "Tenderloin Trail" you can try and conquer. Go on, go for it. You know you want to!

Went here for the all-you-can-eat Friday night fish fry. Ambiance is definitely small town bar and…read moregrill. Lots of locals, but staff was very friendly and we were served pretty promptly. The fish meal included a salad bar and fries. I rarely see a salad bar offered ANYWHERE anymore; it wasn't much, but it was good. The fish and fries were decent... you have the option on walleye, cod, or a mix. The initial serving is 4 pieces of fish. I opted to do the mix (2 of each). Definitely liked the walleye best. The cod was decent, but also a bit more chewy that the walleye. The fish wasn't quite as flaky as I would have liked, so not sure if it was the quality of the filets or how they were cooked. Nonetheless, the meal was good and reasonably priced for an all-you-can-eat. It was a bit out of the way for us, so not sure I would make the longer trip for the fish, but it was definitely worth the try.
