They put together some really well crafted sandwiches that we felt to have been a reflection of the care of putting together each recipe. The fries were really good, nice, crispy, seasoned well and HOT! The Cole Slaw was excellent on the sandwiches, but as a stand alone side, not so great, just average. It's more than just casual. When we were there, and I assume this to be the usual, there were no non-disposable utensils or plates. The place is cramped, and only one table (2 two-seaters pushed together. Everything else were booths, and on the small side to accommodate the limited space no doubt. The kitchen is right at the tables, and the entire place is a bit (actually a lot) crowded. They do a bustling take out business though. That was evident. So I think that would be reflective of how good the food is. The reviewer who gave it one dollar sign to reflect price, failed us. Three of us, three sandwiches, two fries and one cole slaw, with three small fountain drinks, yet it was over $60. I cannot give my usual highly descriptive, wifey assisted review, but she's with me writing this. We've already left and I got no pictures! Just one of those days where you're in a rush.

He had Mac-n-cheese as his side and said they were high level. I ordered the Giganta sandwich that included smoked turkey, pulled port and brisket, covered in queso and grilled onions. WOW! May be new favorite sandwich ... ever! It's a fork and knife meal and extremely filling. The baked beans were good, but I was a little disappointed in the amount of brisket that should have been in there. This place rocks! Service was friendly, but it appeared only one person serving the entire place, but it's not large. Loved the blues music in the background. Illini and Bears memorabilia on the walls.

FOTB is more soul food than BBQ...and that's a good thing. In fact, BBQ is limited to pulled pork…read moreand ribs. But, a selection of wings, jerk chicken, turkey and fish (catfish and walleye) round out the main dishes. Add to that a variety of sides: greens, beans, cornbread, coleslaw, dirty rice, steamed cabbage, mac and cheese, potato salad, and more. My lunch plate was pulled pork with two sides: greens and creamy coleslaw. All three were generous portions. There's a smoker behind the restaurant so evidently FOTB smokes its own meats. However, the sandwich lacked smoky taste, or maybe it was covered by the sweet sauce. "Creamy" defines the coleslaw, almost to being too creamy. Still tasty, though. The greens, though, were awesome. Spiked with turkey and bits of garlic they also had a slight pepper kick. Friendly staff at FOTB. Counter service with plenty of indoor seating.

Best place to get drinks with food as far as downtown Decatur. Coney McKane's has things like…read moreburgers and hot dogs as well as some fancier items. It also has a few options for vegetarians. A kind of cramped place so it always has a crowd. The prices aren't that bad for the quality and service. A lack of fancier restaurants around here in a town that mostly has chains. It's more of a kind of classier sports bar and grill. The atmosphere is pretty good because it's one of the few happening places around here. A place where one can watch a game and get craft cocktails as well as well cooked burgers. There's also plenty of meal sized salads for healthier options. It's about $12 for a basic cocktail. They have a pretty okay amount of spirits including whiskeys. It's about $10 for an Impossible Burger. We got these and had to choose our toppings. Also these come with a side such as fries. Pretty good amount of food for an okay price. Among the other items on the menu is fish. They have plenty of burgers as well as Po Boy sandwiches. Also there's soups and plenty of shareable appetizers. They also have desserts such as pie. For sure it's one of the nicer restaurants in the area. It's closed Sundays and Mondays. There's lots of meaty options and some things for vegetarians.

Great flavor and presentation. The server, however, was possibly the worst I've ever had. I can't mention him by name because he couldn't even be bothered with greeting us, much less introducing himself. While he kept our waters full, that's about where the service stopped. He was extremely rushed, dismissive, and made no apologies for how long our food took at all. There was a party behind us who had to wait for their food because the poor guy who delivered it tumped the tray, and he spoke to them in a tone that made it feel like it was their fault. I'll definitely be asking for a different server if I return.

They have a table for a large group in the front of the facility as well as slots. We asked what was our servers favorite choice from the menu was and also if the specialty pizzas could be made into a calzone. The favorite item is the chicken bacon ranch sandwich and yes, we were able to make a BBQ chicken calzone. So we ordered the chicken, bacon ranch sandwich with homemade chips, bbq chicken calzone and our son had the Buffalo Chicken Ranch calzone and a soda The food presentation was fantastic and truly looked delicious. I didn't think the sandwich was something I'd get again. It really didn't have much flavor, as if the chicken wasn't seasoned. Had it been the sandwich may be better. The BBQ chicken calzone though. That was absolutely delicious and when we arrived home we heated that up in the air frier and it was just a delicious. I do recommend check out Sloan's Calzones if your are ever in the area. Get a calzone, you cannot go wrong. Facility was clean, condiments were clean, food was delicious and service was top notch!
