    Their liver and onions is the best!!
    Stephanie G.

    I love New Horizon! Besides great food selection and quality they give the best customer service. It's like dining in with family. I don't live close by but I'm always willing to drive and stop in for excellent food and service. Thank you always Mr. George..

    Love this place. Family owned business with daily specials, homemade soups and bread. Great waitstaff, and if you are lucky, George will be there and come out from the kitchen to say hi. We have been going here for over 30 years and it is always consistently good. They have a fireplace in the middle and gambling in the back...what more could you need?

    Cesar salad no dressing with chicken that I didn't want
    Angie E.

    So I was recommended by a great customer of their fur lunch. Unfortunately my lunch was not prep according to what I order. My wings was not spun in Buffalo sauce, they are really wing dings or party wing. I ordered a Cesar salad without chicken or tomatoes or cheese. Well I had chicken, no tomatoes and no cheese and NO DRESSING. Who eats a salad without dressing. I tried calling several times and the calls just goes to Voice mail. Bad business and food! None of my food was tasty at all but I paid 30,00 for party wings no sauce and a salad without dressing.

    Honestly food was good but very standard. If you're looking for a quick and simple go to meal this might be your place. The service was okay didn't feel welcomed unfortunately and almost like we were being rushed out of there. The place was comfy and calm.

    Gypsy skillet with cheddar cheese and over medium eggs
    Kayi C.

    Tried a new spot for breakfast, which makes me anxious bcuz if the pancakes are not good it messes up my meal. THIS PLACE HAS DELICIOUS PANCAKES! I'm so happy. They're soft and pre buttered, the syrup don't just slide off. I don't like powdered sugar on my pancakes, so make sure u tell them. They're so good I ate them before I realized I needed a pic! I got the Gypsy skillet, bacon fresh sliced mushrooms, onions green peppers and bacon. I got cheddar cheese and over medium eggs. Listen, it was cooked perfectly! Crispy bacon, well diced veggies, eggs with the double yolk which were cooked perfectly medium. Potatoes shredded and was the perfect base. Nice waitress, quick service! Don't let the empty lot or pizzeria sign fool you, COME HAVE BREAKFAST.

    Turkey Dinner to go!

    Do they serve a chopped steak with onions?

    I would be willing to bet that they do . If you don't see it on the menu you can always ask . The owners are really accommodating and will go out of their way to help you out .

Then they brought half our table's food about 20 minutes before the rest. The worst part was when the waiter was rude to my son. My son, who is 7 years old and has special needs, was getting out of the booth to let his cousin out so he could go to the bathroom and suddenly the waiter came up to drop off the second half of food. I'm not sure why the waiter didn't go to the other side of the table where everyone was sitting rather than the side where three people were getting up, but my son accidentally bumped into the waiter. The waiter rudely said "don't touch me!". I stood up to move my son away from him and then helped the waiter distribute the plates. The waiter said he could do it but that was seemingly not true because not only was he rude but he tried to give us plates of food we already had received 20 minutes earlier. I told him we already had those orders and he was very confused. Really a terrible experience.

Their gluten-free toast is excellent. I will definitely go back. I had trouble once again, however, with basic communication and it certainly wasn't on my end. I wanted the breakfast taco special but asked for a side of gluten-free toast instead of the corn tortillas as it was described (I don't like corn tortillas). I was told they "aren't allowed to make modifications," which actually makes no sense. First of all, you're basically telling the customer they can't have the simple and sensible modification they're asking for and that's not OK. So, knowing how people in this part of the country are with understanding things, I said fine and asked to just make it without the tortillas... because apparently asking for a side of toast was too much information to put together. Well, that was confusing too. Not surprised. So, finally I just ordered the darn dish exactly as it was described and said, "OK, I will just scrape the eggs off the tortillas." Meaning HELLO, you're making the customer work to do something easy you seem to not be able to do. Eventually, another person came over (the manager?) and suggested they turn the breakfast taco special into a sandwich with gluten-free toast. I was dumbfounded. I've been in Illinois for 11 years (married) and people out here are just very slow to put information together. I don't get it and it's actually pretty alarming. So, anyway, the manager (?) finally suggested that they "could just make it without tortillas and bring me a side of toast." I was like YEP. That is exactly how I ordered it the first time. Welcome to the Midwest. But anyway, they walked away like I was the problem. Again, I've been dealing with this out here for years. Most people have no idea what's going on and they make everything more complicated.
