The atmosphere is very basic dive-y, but comfortable and friendly. Like every other place in Illinois now, there is the perfunctory, roped-off gambling section. Try the fried guacamole; it's delish. We also had pulled pork nachos (good), burgers, fried mushrooms, and ravioli.

First time visiting. The decor is very trendy and nice. The dining room is a little small…read more(something like 12 tables) but very clean and new looking. Our only compliant was the gaming machines along one wall. When they are played they are pretty loud. Maybe not so distracting when it's full out night, but it was noisy at lunchtime. Our waitress was very friendly and very attentive. We started with mini corn dogs. Cooked just tight, crispy and hot inside. They give you a lot, 10 or 12 pieces (can't remember). My wife had cheeseburger and fries. She got it plain and well done and it came out just like that. Waffle fries were mostly crispy enough. I had the bbq pork sandwich. It seemed like it had been heated on the flat top, which gave it a good taste. It was a bit dry for my taste. Next time I'd ask for extra sauce. I also got the Mac and cheese, which I think is house made. The noodles were cooked firm and the cheese was good. Overall a very good meal. I definitely plan to go back. I want to try their ribeye some weekend.

Frankie Hails was the lead singer. Red Spandex and a tight white silk shirt. He leaped off the stage like he was David Lee Roth, wailing PANAMA!!!!! His Spandex rips and his shoe flys off, direct hit in my face, lands in our pizza. At that exact moment a Fat Harley Davidson crash's through the front window and smashes into the poker machines. That was one hell of a band and a delicious pizza.
