You know how small town taverns go, they are either third places or scary places. This is a third…read moreplace. Met both the owners (dad & daughter) super nice people. Lindsay's actually connects through to Kates on the other side of the building, Kates was hosting a high school reunion while we were in town. Lindsay's is keeping it real, this is a cash bar, ATM available onsite, pool tables, live music featured, drink prices are affordable, and the service is prompt and friendly. Special note, pickle shots are available ;) as long as you don't get too fancy with your drink orders you will do just fine. If you want to stop in for a cold one, engage in some friendly exchange, and/or, catch up on local gossip, here is your best bet.

This bar is an institution in Pittsfield. It has been around for decades and manages to attract an…read moreeclectic mix of the 'old regulars' and the younger crowd. The original bar looks as it has for as long as I can remember with the old booths lining the wall opposite the bar and a full length bar lined with stools. Despite it's appearance that hasn't changed in years, it still manages to feel clean, bright and inviting. It is connected to Old Boys Pizza by a game room with two pool tables, shuffleboard and a juke box. They have live entertainment as well as a DJ on certain nights. They have a few domestics on Tap but mostly bottles with very reasonable prices. The staff is always very friendly and treat everyone like a regular. If you're in the area it is a must visit.

Located in the small town of Ipava Illinois (population 440), Potsie's Roadhouse sits alongside US…read moreRoute 136. It is housed in a small(ish) non-descript brick row-building. Parking is street-side. Inside it is divided into two dining areas. There is a dining area just inside the front door that seats about 40. A middle area has tables for about 30 diners. That area also contains a "U" shaped bar, a space for pizza preparation, a pizza oven and I believe what may have been a couple of video gaming machines. To the rear is the kitchen. Yeah, space is at a premium. I ordered the large tenderloin sandwich $8.95 and my SO had the butterfly pork chop sandwich $6.95. Sandwiches came with potato chips but she substituted french fries (at apparently no extra cost). Two fountain drinks rounded out the tab at $20.05. When the food arrived my eyes must have bugged out. My tenderloin was huge. It dwarfed the 6 inch bun and hung over at least 2 inches all around. Even with such a large meal on my plate, I found that I was having extreme sandwich envy after eyeing the wife's order. Her butterfly pork chop sandwich was actually 2 grilled pork chops (flattened and tenderized) on a bun. Her sandwich was just massive and like mine overwhelmed the bun. I managed to (just) finish mine while she brought half of hers home. Both sandwiches were superbly cooked. My tenderloin was deep fried to a crisp golden brown and her's was grilled yet tender and moist. The flavor of each sandwich was spot on. While mine was tasty, her's was REALLY good! Please note that since seating is limited, early arrival is a must. We got there at 5PM on a Wednesday and left at about 6:15 the place was busy the whole time. I'm sure that come Fridays and Saturdays the place turns into a zoo.

And the best fried pork tenderloin I have ever had. It's about a foot across, serves hot on a 4 inch bun. You can get a half or go for the full size. Delicious, mouthwatering, amazing. Not for those of you on a diet though the place does have salads with iceberg lettuce. Go immediately. PS this is not a Latin or Mexican restaurant despite what yelp says.

It was pretty slow but the bar was clean and quiet and the bartender was friendly. The daily special was tenderloin/pork fritters or tacos. I opted for the fritters and homemade chips. It came with a 'special sauce' that made it even better but it was perfectly fine without it. The cook came out later and chatted. Nice folks. Would definitely recommend trying at least the fritters, they were pretty good, but I'll definitely go back and try some other things on the menu.
