    I was thrilled to find Lost In Time! Great atmosphere! This used to be a bank about a 100 years ago and they harken back to that through their charming remodeling. And they have....drum roll please....free Wi-Fi! Now you probably wouldn't think that's a huge deal, but in Fairbury it truly is! With the closest Starbucks about 30-40 minutes away, this was a true life saver. As for the menu, they have the most incredible soups, sandwiches and salads. If you are looking for something other than artery clogging fried stuff - this is the place!

    I was in town for work and the wonderful veterinarian I was working with sent me here for a good lunch ! Friendly staff who sat me at the only seat left in the house . The little dessert bar :) The staff all visited with me , very nice of them to do that . So I asked what to try and they each had a different suggestion . I went with the grilled blue cheese and bacon sandwich and added avocado .... WHERE has this been all my life ?????? Get in my belly ! Freakishly good !!!!! They mix a delish mild blue cheese with cream cheese and spread it on before adding the perfectly cooked bacon ... Mmmmmmm Lawd I can still taste it

    Wrapping in Fairbury. Great sandwich. Nice decor with history motif.

    The go to place when near Fairbury, IL. Always great food and service. The decor shows history of Fairbury. Don't forget the bakery for a great desert.

    Slow service bland food. Tasted like something you would get in a nursing home. Won't be back.

    How I heard of this place: Our family of locals, my brother-in-law used to eat here after high…read moreschool football games. We made sure to sample its thin-crust goodness. Type of cuisine: "In 1959 the Monical family started making pizzas in the little town of Tolono, Illinois. Before long, their recipe became a hit with many of their local friends and neighbors. Thus was born Monical's Pizza®, a name that over the years has become synonymous locally with the very finest thin crust pizza." Ambiance: The stand-alone building welcomes patrons into an unpretentious, family-friendly space with comfortable booth- as well as wooden chair-seating for parties of all sizes. Place your order at the counter as you enter the premises, and find your way back to the dining area, where a friendly server will greet you with your beverages, salads and pizzas, in that order. What I ordered: Being a family of four, we decided to order The Family Pleaser ($29.01, including tax), which offered a pitcher of Root Beer (our pop of choice), a Garden Salad with iceberg lettuce, shredded carrots, diced tomatoes and grated cheddar cheese, and a 16″ thin crust pizza topped with our selection of minced garlic, sausage, green bell peppers, and mushrooms. What I loved: The local favorite: red sauce in a squeeze bottle to enjoy on salads, pizza, and presumably anything else that makes its way out of the kitchen! Why I loved it: A true local space, where the old ladies meet to play bridge and the servers are high school teenagers earning a dollar on their days off. Friendly service and delicious food to boot! Cost: Average to high ($8 - $20 per pizza)

    We ordered two personal pizzas for our children, and unfortunately, their pizzas were missing half…read morethe pepperoni and were undercooked. My husband and I also ordered a large pizza, which was barely cooked, and our breadsticks were cold and hard. I actually stopped eating here over a year ago, but decided to give it another try since my kids received free vouchers from school. Sadly, the experience didn't improve, and we won't be returning. I'd much rather make the drive to Pontiac, where both the food and service are far better. It's called family pleaser and it did not please any of us
