Once inside and once outside...the food was fantastic. Definitely get the frilled shrimp inside a carved out oineapple...my all time favorite. Also had the shrimp roll, lettuce wraps and parmesan whitefish. All top notch. Dinner service both nights was incredibly quick..we ate and were having our tables cleared in under 45 min....and got sat right away even on Labor Day Weekend with no reservations....though it was pretty busy. TBH the community doesn't deserve a spot this good, and we were lucky enough to search it out and find it! Do yourself a favor and hit this place up if you're in the region...everything else qround doesnt even compare.

Service 5 stars. Waitress did not rush us and answered various questions about the drink menu offerings as well as the food menu. A lot of appetizers to choose from. The manager or owner stopped by the table twice. Not exactly sure who he was as he didn't introduce himself. Just asked how we were. Food 3 stars: I settled on the fish and chips. I liked the light breading on the mild fish and it wasn't greasy. The sauce was great too. Coleslaw was lackluster and the side of fries were seasoned; however, they were not crisp and were flaccid. The other guests said the same thing about the fries. Overall the food could have been hotter in my opinion, The others had the Tenderloin, a burger and Caribbean chicken sandwich. Fries are the side that is included with the sandwiches. A blackberry mule, blueberry lemon martini. Arnold Palmer, Pepsi and MGD bottled beer were the drinks ordered by the guests.

A lot go by and can't believe it's actually here. Trust the map apps and pull in for a few pints. Basically this is as micro as a microbrewery can get. It's pretty much run out of someone's shed. The farm is how this place gets its name, and there's a few interesting artifacts, such as equipment lying around and hanging up on the walls. As expected they only have a few beers. It's about $7 a pint. Best one we had was the Broken Spoke, which is an American pale ale. It's about $5 for pretzels. Cool thing is these are made with actual spent grains. The seating is limited but they have a patio with a few tables. For sure it's a place we would come to again. It's got pretty limited hours only being open Fridays to Sundays. This means the best time to go is weekends.

The taco salad would've been much better with refried beans in my opinion. The lettuce chunks had to be cut up a lot. The cheesy tots were the best of the items we tried. The Texas sheet cake was very dry and gross in my opinion. My poor mother was given a very mushy peach cobbler, didn't look anything like the display desserts. She hardly touched it.

Emancipation is a brewery not a lot of people have heard of because it's not close to anything of course. Has a surprising amount of variety on tap and in cans to go. They may not have a whole lot but everything is full of flavor and quenches one's thirst. Even with it being a smaller brewery it still has quite a lot. It's got several of their own beers on tap along with a few others. There's also more cans in a refrigerator. Has the basics along with a few interesting ones. More than just the IPAs and the usual. It's about $7 a pint. The Farmer's Favorite is the IPA and is a pretty good medium one that's crisp and smooth. Has a few things to snack on here. It's about $3 for the Krack Mix. Basically like Chex Mix but it's made locally. They also will let you bring in stuff. Great place that's pretty hard to find the first time going here. It's located on N. 2500 East Rd. a few miles north of Fairbury surrounded by corn fields pretty much. They're closed Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.
