Bopp's is considered to be the oldest bar in town, but it's hard to know by looking at it. Clean inside mostly and modern looking TVs showing games. The drinks are mostly beers, and the food may look basic but is better than it looks. Bigger interior and roomier than expected. It looked like it would be pretty cramped from the outside. There's a big bar at the end and quite a few tables. Also multiple TVs had games on. The rest of the entertainment includes slots. A good choice of drinks. It's about $7 for the Moonshine Slushies. Cool stuff literally. They had pumpkin apple spice flavor among others. As for the food, there's burgers. Pretty big ones from the looks of things. Also people like the ham sandwich. It's about $5 for a basket of tater tots. Always good to munch on these between drinks. They apparently also have a veggie burger if looking for that. For around here it's pretty good. It's nothing fancy but it's not some dumpy place with crass locals all saying stupid things, mostly. This is great for watching a game, playing on slots, or whatever.

You gotta love that Culvers still insists that their slow service is because 'the food is worth it'. It's not guys.

Summary: Food: Good…read more Service: Slow Cleanliness: Okay I dropped in for dinner on my way home. I'd been by this place a few times recently. It's a newer remodeled Burger King, new sign, new interior, new layout. Expectations were high. The BK Promise was on the wall next to the counter. The drink machines looked clean, and the mens room didn't smell bad - it's clearly being maintained. I hit the door, glanced at my watch, and waited. And waited. And waited (someone running back and forth to the drive through said "I'm sorry.") Don't be sorry, take my order. At around 5 minutes, someone I hadn't seen before came out of the back, and took my order. Around 3 minutes later, I had the food for my order. So what's going on? Manager - if you are slammed, pull the person off break and give them a break later. Having people stand around (and there were more behind me) isn't good. My order was a Whopper with Cheese, and a small fries and drink. The fries were hot, the Whopper with Cheese was hot, but it was also salty. And I like salt too much, but this one was way salty. The toppings tasted fresh. So Service needs attention, which means leadership / management at the shop. The food is okay, provided you don't mind waiting that long for what should be fast food.

The prices are very reasonable: $3.00 per game to bowl, $2.50 for shoe rental. They also have a decent menu for food and cocktails. I had the pineapple upside down cocktail- it was delish!! We also had the burger and fries which was good. They also had a deep fried hotdog on the menu that is wrapped in a piece of crisp bacon that looked tasty. The staff here is very friendly and helpful. You can "practice" in your lane for ten minutes before starting your game, which was great for the group I was with since many of us had not bowled in some time.

The service was on time, the food took a long time to come out, but it was hot, and the atmosphere was the kind where you don't want to look around too hard, but it's not a complete dump. My meal was good. It wasn't the best "rancheros eggs" I've ever had, but the flavor profiles matched. The eggs were very eggy. I noticed this when I ate my fried eggs and tried my mom's scrambled eggs. Also, my tortillas seemed like they had been in the aluminum bundle for awhile getting soggy before they were delivered. I'd say this place does a good job of making sure you don't leave hungry. The food is decent and the staff are friendly.

However, despite being required by Casey's policy to change the pizza every 45 minutes, some of the employees get lackadaisical and lazy late in the evenings and let the Pizza sit in the rotisserie until it becomes crusty looking. This only happens a couple of times a week and usually later in the evening after 8 o'clock. Otherwise, the pizza is great, the people who work there are super pleasant and nice. There's always free samples of something sitting out on the counter. Nowhere near as good of a selection of beverages or coffee as Thorton's, but it's a couple miles closer to me than Thorton's. It is what it is. A gas station, Pizza restaurant, it's what you make of it.

Stopped by this diner on 14 on my way to Wisconsin. Great food. I ordered the dinner beef stir fry and it was simply amazing, fresh veggies, steak was perfectly cooked, and the soup is out of this world. Very friendly staff, they genuinely care how your day is, opposed to staff who hate to be at there jobs. These gems are fading away. I'm just glad there's a few left. Will definitely be back. They also have a restaurant in Delavan named "Tana's family restaurant" they're brunch rocks!! read more

Sorry Erin, but I've been eating here for years and you're entirely wrong. The soups are homemade every single day and let me just add they are MIND BLOWING!! Great food and even better service. Very clean, bread is wrapped individually so they are never reused! Haven't had a single bad experience at this little hometown gem:) I have traveled to several different locations and let me just say it's hard to find this kind of quality at a local family diner. Love it! read more

Absolutely lovely…read more Located on the Main Square of Woodstock, IL, this cafe serves breakfast and lunch in a warm, welcoming space. Our waitress tells us the business previously at this location got a make over when participating in a foodnetwork TV show. Sweet. The decor is earthy colors with wood on the walls, fun signs, comfortable booths and tables for groups. Highchairs are available for your tiny family members. A hostess will seat you with menus and flatware wrapped in a napkin. Salt, pepper, sugar, creamer, jelly, syrup, ketchup and hot sauces are on the table. One side of the menu is breakfast, the other lunch. We were asked right away if we would like coffee. The staff here are all very nice and welcoming. Different members of staff came around to all tables several times during our stay refilling coffees as needed. Our waitress checked in on us a couple of times and actually stopped at the table to be sure we had all we needed, not just running past. We both ordered breakfast and the portions are generous. I had the Irish Bene and they don't skimp on the smoked salmon! The eggs were poached well, a generous amount of spinach and the potato pancake is tasty and light. I very much enjoyed their coffee. Strong, hot and smooth. Not at all bitter. Yay. Two remodled, single-person restrooms are at the back of the restaurant where you'll also find hooks for your coat. A diaper station is in the ladies room. The restaurant has two window walls letting in the sun light. On-street parking is free. If we lived here this would be our breakfast place!

Most tables have a good view of the town square featured in "Groundhog Day," and the diner is next door to a nice indie bookstore.
