Although my husband was fairly set on the prime rib special until he saw a plate of fried chicken come out. All bets were off then. It was a good choice- great chicken. I got the salmon and it was okay. Lacked flavor but it wasn't overdone since I asked for it medium rare. One of the best things here is the soup and salad bar. I enjoyed the potato soup. Salad bar had lots of great options too. Somehow we made it out of there without ordering one of their delicious desserts. Miracle. Service was friendly and attentive.

First thing we noticed a sign on the door that said cash or check only so we had to go to the local bank atm and get cash. This place is definitely nothing fancy and would qualify as a dive but our food was cooked to order and came out fast. The only disappointment was the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich I ordered was nothing more than a breaded butterfly pork chop sandwich which tasted fine but certainly doesn't meet the standard for a tenderloin. I think we will probably try again if we're in the area.

We were traveling home from Peoria and stopped in Jubelt's for lunch. This was our first time. It…read morewas right at the beginning of lunch time and they were moderately busy. First impressions, the restaurant needs some help with cleanliness. Tables and chairs are worn out, the floor just looks old and dirty. I'm sure they clean, but when things get that worn and old, it doesn't matter. Part of the "charm" of this restaurant is the Route 66 proximity, and that was part of our reason for going there being the 100th anniversary of the mother road. When you enter you are faced with a bit of confusion. There are handwritten signs telling you to grab a menu and get a table, then you have to go to the counter and place your order. I've seen this before and it makes little sense. I suppose it's a labor saving method, but not practical at all. We found a table and looked at the menu, which is quite extensive. They, also, baked their own breads and pies and have a display case with pastries. We placed our order and returned to our table. The food arrived in a reasonable amount of time, but while we waited, I watched people coming in and being just as confused about the ordering system as we were. Plus, the line at the counter grew into the seating area. I would think the counter would be good for to go orders like the baked goods and pastries rather than dining customers. I ordered the 1/4 ham and provolone croissant sandwich with fries, my daughter ordered a turkey wrap, and my wife ordered the turkey club. They both ordered fruit cups as their side. The croissant was very good. It was flaky, moist and pillowy, but held the ingredients of the sandwich well. My wife and daughter said their sandwiches were fine. I'm not sure my sandwich had a full 1/4 pound of ham on it, but it did have good flavor. The fries were hot, but right out of the bag. The fruit cups didn't appear the freshest. It looks like they do a good business with the baked goods and pastries. Maybe that should be the business which would make more sense with the style of service they are doing. It was worth trying, but I don't know if I would return. The employees were all friendly and were hustling and I did see someone clearing tables, but I think the place could go for a remodel just to maintain an appearance of

Each dinner came with a salad, choice of potatoe, choice of apple sauce or cottage cheese and a side of spaghetti with meat sauce and a vegetable side of corn. Big time food ensemble! Best fried dinner I have been to. Coating was thin, like flour not a batter. Bolongese was seriously meaty and good, not sweet. There are also soups and salads on the menu - so needed these days. Service was prompt, attentive, smart, helpful, just right. They have a full bar. If you want to bring your own wine corkage is $10 . Great for couples families or groups.

OMG! I just happened to visit the Wooden Duck for my first time, during Blackburn Colleges…read moreHomecoming. The restaurant was packed and the staff hustled to provide good service. Lucky for me, I was able to get a seat at the bar. My adult beverage was a draft Flight by Yuengling. For lunch, I went with a Pork Tenderloin Sandwich with a side of Fries. The tenderloin was crisp and had good flavor. However, it had a perfect shape, so I could tell it came from a bag and was not done in house. I enjoyed the thin crisp fries. A roll of Paper Towels served as your napkin. Typically I prefer linen, but for a dive bar, paper towels do the trick. I also liked that the Wooden Duck has hooks under the bar. Hooks provide a safe place for purses and jackets. I got a giggle when I used the mens room and the owner showed his political views by having a caricature of the governor in the urinal. They even had a witty disclaimer, so you shouldn't be offended. I got a second giggle when I looked around the bar and realized, about 60% of the guest were an alternative lifestyle. So everyone is welcome at the Wooden Duck.

So of course although my wife had done extensive research on all the documentation we would need to pay a state to drive our car...we had missed one. So we went to the Wood Duck for lunch while we waited for our credit union to send us a lien release form. We had talked to the kind soul at the DMV and she was "all-in" on this place. She was so right. It is an intimate space, with a small bar out front, and then a few more tables in a back area. We took a booth right in front of the kitchen. It is a very "locals" place. There were some police having lunch (likely the entire force, at least by weight)...and one of them stared me down as if he had never seen a veteran, former DoD executive, in a collared shirt, and khakis in a public restaurant before. [Yes I was the only pepper in the salt]. The actual restaurant staff was excellent, and welcoming. Our server was a whirlwind of effecient hospitality. I got a pork tenderloin sandwich (and later the same day was invited to join a pork tenderloin sandwich group on FB)... ordered the fries, not clear if that came with them, didn't keep the reciept. My wife got a cheesburger that she was very happy with. My tenderloin was crispy, juicy and a bit too salty in a good way. This place is a definite keeper on the list of places we will be willing to travel to over time. Perhaps if I come back often enough, Barney will get used to "others" visiting his little fiefdom.

The menus had many choices for breakfast lunch and dinner. The waitress was friendly and helpful. Some of our group had breakfast while others chose lunch. My "mama's special" was delicious. It included 2 sizable pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage. My daughter ordered biscuits and gravy with eggs which were also very tasty. (I had a nibble). All of the others seemed pleased with their choices as well. The portions are generous, the food is really good, and the service was great. I would like to return and try the fried chicken before our trip is over! I noticed this establishment was not yet listed on Yelp, so i decided to add it for the benefit of others who might enjoy it too ;)

We went straight to a table with a view of the golf course, so I didn't get a chance to see the rest of restaurant. The seating is comfortable and room was nice and quiet. Staff: the waitress was very pleasant and personable. It was nice to have a friendly waitress. She was very attentive and ensured our drinks were always promptly refreshed (without even asking) and asked if we needed additional items. Great job! Food: we were a table of 5, so I don't remember everyone's meals, but I'll go over what I ate. Chips and salsa were brought out. The chips are made on site and were very good, so good we had to have a second basket. The salsa is perfect and tastes like the same kind I purchase for home use. We ordered a sampler appetizer which included chicken quesadillas (two), mozzarella sticks (six), and loaded potato skins. My girlfriend and mom loved the quesadillas. The mozzarella sticks were nothing special and the loaded potato skins tasted over cooked. I ordered the sirloin (cooked medium) with parsley red potatoes. The steak was cooked perfectly and the potatoes were really good. I was most impressed with the corn I received because it was cooked perfectly; it was still crisp and fresh instead of mushy. I cleaned my plate then grabbed one of the dinner rolls brought earlier. I do like the dinner rolls they have; they remind me of the ones I buy for personal cooking. Overall, this is a nice restaurant with a great staff and good food. I would definitely go there again.
