We stopped at Joe's Station for dinner during our Route 66 journey in Pontiac. Kids loved where the…read morerestaurant was located because they were able to see trains pass by while we ate. Outside of the kids keeping busy watching the trains, they colored/drew on the paper table cloth until the food arrived. The staff was wonderful! Super friendly and attentive. You place your order at the counter, and when the food is ready, the staff will bring your food to your table. The pizza was really good! We ordered a thin supreme and a thin plain cheese. The ingredients were fresh. For the kids that didn't want pizza, we ordered a hamburger and spaghetti with meatball. No complaints from the kids. They loved their food. The fries were delicious too! Definitely a place to stop when in Pontiac.

First time for us and quite an impressive package they've put together. Wonderful "chicken chunks"…read morewhich they call boneless chicken wings. I don't think the bbq sauce was homemade but the chunks were well done. We ordered as an appetizer and glad we did. The pizza took longer than we expected but was worth the wait. Quite flavorful and large bits of each of the toppings. A very firm crust that we enjoyed and found very filling. We are foodies and can with confidence suggest this restaurant as a must-visit. Great job overall by the team. We were made to made to feel very welcome.

Had to stop in this bar and grill in Pontiac after seeing the prices are cheap. It has about what…read moreyou can expect. The Backstretch has an auto racing kind of theme. Lots of TVs tuned into various games. You can get pretty strong drinks and food that's better than it looks. Certainly there's a greasy feeling about it. It's not exactly the cleanest or nicest but it's better than a whole lot of other places in town to go to. This mostly gets crowded on weekends. Actually it's never too crowded. There's happy hours on Wednesdays and Saturdays. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. Whiskey and whatever. It's about $7 for most appetizers. The Giant Pretzel is great for sharing. Comes with a beer cheese or something else. The rest of the menu includes things like fish sandwiches. Good place to watch games. It's one of the few places around here that's open on Sundays. That makes sense because races are usually on the weekends.

I heard some good things about the pizza they serve so I figured I would give it a shot for myself. I placed a carry out order over the phone and was told it would be 20 minutes. The place wasn't that busy when I arrived, and it looked just like I remembered. There were two employees working and I spoke with both. They were both very friendly and my pizza was ready as promised. The crust was about par for the course around here. Not much taste outside of flour. The sauce was decent, and the toppings were plentiful. The cheese is the type mozzarella that turns a bit rubbery, but I must admit, I like that. All in all, I enjoyed the pizza, and the service was friendly. Was it my favorite pizza in Pontiac? No. But, I wouldn't hesitate to come back.

The first time there was more onions than meat and it was very dry. The last time there wasn't the usual amount of meat and it was dry burnt and crispy. There was hardly any sauce either which made it difficult to get down. Not sure if I'll ever go back.

I didn't get a call back so I called the Pontiac store and they guy said if I drove to the store he would get me my order but he couldn't give me a refund. I have no interest in driving to the store to pick up an order I paid to have delivered and gave a tip to the driver. I guess Pizza Hut will not get my business going forward.

We ordered 8 boneless wings and got 7. And they were dried and hard. Then they try to "tip shame" you when they print out the receipt when you go to pick up your food. No tip if it's not delivered. Definitely has changed over the past year.

Stopped in Friday and bought an Apple gift card, cashier knew the printer wasn't working but instead of telling me that she scanned the card and allowed me to purchase it then told me I couldn't get a receipt or the activation code because the printer wasn't working right so I'd have to talk to the manager. I had to leave to go to work wwent back in after work and was told to call in the next morning and ask for the manager, called in the next morning and was told that the manager wasn't going to be in that day. Hopefully when I go in today before work there will be someone there that can help me.

Sometimes there are more choices than others but there always seems to be something. Well, so far so good, now to the frustration. The checkout process is usually grueling. Vicky is usually on duty during this time, and she is the Queen of Lines. Vicky can create a line out of almost nothing. If there is more than one person in the store you can rest assured that they will be standing in a line together before it is all said and done. I would say each individual transaction averages close to 5 minutes. Now, this isn't to say that she isn't friendly. In fact, she is a very personable and pleasant individual. There is just something that happens when you are looking for a quick in and out experience and Vicky is in charge.

Pontiac, Illinois has quite a lot of Route 66 information. Museums, car museum and a quaint town…read moresquare. We walked from the car museum to Edinger's Filling Station for lunch. We couldn't have picked a better spot. We were seated immediately and notice the place was filled with mainly locals. Our server stopped by right away to take our drink order and ask us if we had any questions. She was so nice, so friendly, offered great recommendations and was fun to talk to. Mr. Bee ordered the Monte Cristo Wrap and I tried the house made veggie burger. The food came out quickly and was nice and hot. The Monte Cristo Wrap was really quite good and had a lot of nice flavors and was seasoned well. My veggie burger was different but delicious. It was also seasoned well and I managed to eat every last bite and thoroughly enjoyed it. I ordered a side of Fried Mac and Cheese and it too was very different than what you would expect. The mac and cheese is not shaped into balls, battered and fried. They take their mac and cheese and smash it down on the grill to cook it. So good. It had lots of crispy bits on it. The food was fresh and really well cooked. The place is like an old fashioned diner and friendly service with a smile. The atmosphere was fun, and everyone seemed friendly and were enjoying their meals. We were full, but when our server came by and said we have fresh made pies, Mr. Bee jumped on that bandwagon. We got a piece of coconut cream pie to go. We stopped in the park in the middle of the square where there are a few benches and picnic tables. We enjoyed our pie, it was scrumptious while enjoying the beautiful sunny day.

It's a pretty casual place that's better than it looks. Can get crowded but things ran smoothly last time in. The food is basic diner stuff with a few better things. A popular place for the local residents to gather. It's one of the many local bars and restaurants around here. This seems to be one of the better ones. Has the main dining area. While waiting for an order go check out the back with the gaming area to play slots. It's $2.50 for domestic beers. That's good. It's about $7 for appetizers. The Pretzel Bites are the best of these. Fluffy and comes with a dipping sauce, choice of beer cheese or something else. The rest of the menu features classics like breakfast including eggs, omelets, and toast, and lunch has things like burgers, fish, and pasta. For sure it's a place for locals as well as tourists looking for classic diners and grills. It's got a lot of various memorabilia. They're closed Sundays.
