The all you can eat fish dinner I really enjoyed. If you leave this place hungry it's your own fault. Jim and Donna were terrific people to talk to.

Updated 08/12/2016…read more I've eaten here a handful of times and sure enjoy it! Their cod/ fish / shrimp special is a great value. Make sure and get one of Donna's baked potatoes - they are awesome! Tonight I had a chicken Chef Salad and it was fantastic - one of the best salads I've had in years. Donna and Jim are wonderful folks and make the visit fun. Donna will come out to your table and chat. Make sure and try their homemade cherry pies. You'll be hooked! Another fun aspect is the Treasure Vault, a cool place to pick up second-owner merchandise from their adjoining store. They have some pretty cool items that are reasonably priced. The whole experience was fun and relaxing. I really enjoyed the visit and plan to stop in whenever passing through Oxford Junction. Their steaks sound delicious and the locals recommend them.

Lola's Deli - Main St (Elizabeth)…read more "Laugh Often. Love Always." More Than A Deli! Located on US-20, Downtown Elizabeth, IL. We ordered, "Rachel Sandwich," - Turkey with 1000 Island, Sauerkraut and Swiss Cheese on Grilled Marble Rye Bread. The sandwich was crispy textured with perfect balance of fresh ingredients inside the sandwich. We also ordered, "Signature Baked Pickle Soup," - A creamy Dill Pickle Soup topped with homemade Croutons and Swiss Cheese, then baked to perfection. Both dishes were made from scratch and it showed. Fresh ingredients were flavorful and delicious. We had a chance to meet the owners. Both female owners who are friends decided to start this Deli in 2021. With ups and downs they've been able to change the business strategy few times and have persevered. On your way to Stockton or Galena, be sure to stop by to enjoy friendly service, cuisine made from scratch and a retro atmosphere. They offer good seating, tables by front entrance, as well as, additional tables in the next room. If you're looking to play Slots, they offer a good size room with bar area. Overall, we enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.

Stopped in here on a trip to Elizabeth to hit their incredible antique mall and can't believe how…read moregood the food and service were! The dill pickle soup and pasta salad were soooo good! Everything the three of us had was DELISH! The place has a cool retro vibe, but if I had to criticize one thing, it would be the lack of background music. There were 4 or 5 tables of people dining as we were seated, and I swear you could hear a pin drop because none of these older diners were talking. Not to mention they looked at us like the outsiders we were, LOL! As a result, our lively table became the focal point which left us somewhat self-conscious. Some Sinatra-era music would help this wonderful restaurant's atmosphere enormously! Overall though, a wonderful little gem of a cafe in Elizabeth!

No-frills outdoor appearance but the inside is extremely clean and comfortable. Food was extremely flavorful! Good hearty flavor on the brown gravy, creamy potatoes, tender chopped steak and freshly grilled veggies. You can tell a lot of items are made from scratch!

It involves the burger, bacon, cheese and BBQ sauce. As soon I picked it up the sauce started flowing out of the bun like the whole thing was fed diuretics. I had to put a napkin on my plate and wait for it to stop so it wouldn't wouldn't make my fries start skinny dipping involuntarily in BBQ. The burger itself looked like a patty from BK. The bacon to burger ratio was exactly the same. All I could taste was bacon. I couldn't tell if the BBQ was any good or not because I was having a bacon coronary. I'll return sometime though to try their breakfast. I hear tell it's tasty, and though I don't cotton to the high prices it's hard finding any quality food for good prices.

That doesn't leave you much time to enjoy a meal. The salad bar was so ~ so, coleslaw, pea salad, potato salad, macaroni salad. Nothing to get overly excited about.

But a few like my BF had the grilled chicken sandwich which he said was good and the rest had the prime rib sandwich and said it was good as well. I however ordered the grilled pork tenderloin sandwich. It was dry and a bit bland even with mustard and ketchup added. I would be back but I would prefer not to order that again. My friend did order the breaded tenderloin and said that her sandwich was good so it must have been the grilled one I had. (maybe could have been over grilled, from one restaurant owner to another). Next time, I will order the breaded one to see the difference. They do have a great menu selection. Overall everything was good and waitress and everyone there is so friendly. It's a really nice bar and grill, has plenty of seating, and game room. Highly recommended.
