Super sweet staff who know their regulars by name and order, and even though breakfast was only served til 11 on Mondays which we missed, we really enjoyed our fish sandwich, bacon cheeseburger, and fries. Hot, fresh, perfect flavor. Wish we lived nearby so we could go back!

The Chuckwagon Cafe is a cozy family diner at Vandalia IL. We are fortunate to pass by on our road…read moretrip from St Louis. Breakfast options are plentiful and very reasonable in price. The waitress recommended both Greek omelette and the Western omelette. We ordered Greek omelette ($12.99) , with additional green peppers ($0.75) and mushrooms ($1). The portion is generous, sufficient for two persons. Coffee ($2.75) was okay to do the job. This is a homey spot to start your day. I'd recommend this for eggs and omelette!

Breakfasts…read moreare very good with the usual items, egg combos, pancakes and waffles, skillets, biscuits and gravy, all the usual fare done very well. Unlimited coffee. Lunches again have the usual cafe fare of burgers and fries, hot and cold sandwiches, salads, gyros, soups and chili, and some specials Suppers consist of fried chicken meat loaf, some steaks, salads, some Italian dishes like spaghetti and mosticholi, as well as open faced turkey and beef, stir fry oriental dishes, and all you can eat specials, like pork chops, chicken, pasta. They also have daily specials to augment their regular menu or to offer a lower price on thier regular fare The service is usually good but there is a turnover in staff mainly because waitressing is not considered as a full time job for most people But it is not crowded so two waitresses can usually handle the amount of people there. The ambience is basically a friendly neighborhood cafe with mainly middle aged and older people there in the morning for breakfast and business people for lunch. with familes and older couples for dinner The owners are wonderful people who have raised their childen here in Gillespie from grade school through to college. The kids could sometimes be seen working there and were popular and well liked in the community. I give it a four star only because the turnover of cooks sometimes makes for inconsistency on some items. Breakfast and lunch are your best bets though.

Everyone seemed friendly and majority of the food came out fast. Accidentally forgot pancake but quickly got it fixed and we're very apologetic with quick remedy for the situation. It appears they have changed the size of the breakfast horseshoe and did not taste as like before. Still everything was good and had great flavor. Especially loved the buttered Texas toast! Can't wait for the next time to go back down memory lane with classic local cooking!
