Place lacked reviews, but the reviews were good so I thought I'd give it a shot for breakfast…read more Reviews were accurate. I had biscuits and gravy and hash brown casserole, they taste like the best homemade you could get. Coffee was perfect, I drank it black. I passed on the baked goods, but I will definitely return here to try them. The atmosphere is definitely different, but it is relaxed and quiet. Almost like a bed and breakfast? But without the bed lol. You walk into a counter, which is also where you order and pay, and where the baked goods are displayed. Server was kind and asked how they could help me and I was confused and thought maybe I went in the wrong entrance lol. The dining area is not visible from the counter. I said I would like to dine in, they took my order at the counter, and directed me to the dining area, which is to the right of the counter past a living space. The dining area is a small, quiet room, which I really enjoyed. Everything was clean, service was great, they were attentive but not overbearing. Price was appropriate. This place is definitely a hidden gem.

When visiting Highland and Aviston, Illinois we passed by The Chocolate Affairs shop while leaving the 9th Street Cafe. We couldn't help ourselves from noticing the young owner Jen busy wheeling away carts of fresh chocolate-covered strawberries to the town's Art Festival. We went inside and were surrounding by tons of little knick-knacks, crafts, souvenirs, and of course, sweets! One of the four rooms is dedicated specifically as the "Candy Room." Caramel pecan patties, real butter creams, hand dipped caramels and chocolate potato chips, to name a few! I enjoyed the chocolate covered toffee with peanuts. Mmm mmm! They also rent out chocolate fountains for your next event. As for the bed and breakfast...It's a historic house built in 1914 by Dr. Tibbetts. The house accommodates guests with 3 bedrooms, each having its own private baths and theme (Angel, Quilt and Blue Rooms). Guests also have full use of a parlor, dining room, kitchen and deck. The best part is you can enjoy chocolate chip cookies and refreshments on arrival, chocolate gift baskets in the bedrooms and a sample from the chocolate case overnight! Continental Breakfast is the Chocolate Lovers Special featuring Triple Chocolate Mess Cake and Chocolate Covered Strawberries. What more could a chocolate lover dream of?!?! I can't wait to spend the night here during my next visit!

Ate here for the first time a couple weeks back. It was pretty good - I didn't have the BBQ they…read moreare probably known for but I had the horseshoe. As expected, it was huge. Unfortunately they don't give you any options on the horseshoe like other places do. Still, it was very good. Lots of fries and cheese! Plenty of parking outside. Some newbies may be fooled that the Cafe is actually in an old house! Be sure to watch for the Wooden Tie Cafe sign so you don't pass it up in Pierron. There are apparently two entrances: one in the front porch part and in the back. I'll be back to try their BBQ

Biscuits and gravy is one of those things I always think sounds good on a menu and I'm always disappointed. At this place I'd say the biscuit was very good and the gravy was okay. Eggs were eggs. Fine. Good hashbrowns. Good coffee. We got a cinnamon roll to share among all of us at our table. It was very good. Hot, soft, fluffy, sweet, yeasty in that good way. I'd call it the highlight of the meal. The various items in the bakery case looked delicious. Cozy, family-friendly interior. We really enjoyed the experience and would definitely return.

Anybody that has worked fast food knows from frozen to out the door is roughly five minutes no matter what you are cooking. 15 minutes is enough time to serve all three cars infront of me. Not at this Sonic apparently. The car behind me pulled back out after about 2-3 minutes of waiting. I said forget it and left.

The inside was decorated with pictures of Illinois' two favorite sports teams - which would be the Cardinals and the Cubs, along with historical references to old Route 66 that had so much influence on these small towns in Southern Illinois.
