My son and I are doing some family genealogy research in Streator Illinois. We arrived at about…read more7:30PM after driving from Chicago, having arrived at Union Station. Happened in on this wonderful "hometown " sports bar filled with local families and their kids. Ambiance is like the proverbial corner bar that has been updated with a wall of video monitors. The locals you could tell simply loved it. We sat at the bar and was helped by a very sweet and helpful waitress that not only shared her advice on the menu but had great information about the location of the local library and local hotels. I ordered a grilled chicken salad and a 6 wing bone in special with fries and BBQ sauce. My son ordered the boneless hot bacon wing special with fries. Both wings dishes were accompanied with carrots and celery along with house made ranch dressing. ( excellent dressing by the way.) My salad came with a deliciously creamy house made blue cheese dressing but lacked tomatoes. For that deficiency I score it a four. If you are in the area, this is a must try establishment.

I was able to try the "new" Cheapseats during a trip home over the holidays…read more While there isn't much on Main Street in downtown Streator, Cheapseats is one of the businesses that seems to attract in the patrons. Maybe it's the friendly bar staff, the clean and trouble free atmosphere or that it's a place you can go and feel welcomed by everyone who is in there. After being in the old shuttered Blue Room, the building was purchased and revamped into a sports bar atmosphere. It has been purchased and sold a couple of times over the past few years, but each owner has kept the same tradition of having a good quality bar. I generally have patronized Cheapseats for the after work happy hour crowd. There is just something about sitting around after grinding the stone all day, shotting the bull, watching ESPN on the tv's throughout the bar and rocking out to classic rock and country on the jukebox. Throw in a quick appetizer and it's a good evening. The bar also has numerous arcade machines, pool table, and dart machine. If your not into the "bar atmosphere," Cheapseats also has a spacious dining area with a full regular menu, salad bar, and nightly dinner specials as well. The key to their success has to be Debbie, she is always outgoing, friendly and makes sure to know her customers. If you are ever passing through my little off the beaten path hometown, be sure to stop in if you are looking for a great little watering hole.

The cook at this gem rocks! All the dishes are done to perfection. He takes pride in everything that comes out of the kitchen. The staff is always friendly and efficient.

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.
