This place is mid. We stopped coming back from Chicago since it had good reviews…read more The lady at the counter was nice. Our food took a pretty long time to come out considering we got sandwiches. When we did get our sandwiches, one was completely wrong. We decided it wasn't worth waiting another 15-20 minutes for a new one. The sandwiches themselves were fine. Nothing amazing, nothing terrible. Personally I didn't love the environment. If you don't like nonstop Christian music and groups of women loudly cackling in the corner, this probably isn't your place. They did have cool snacks in their store and the desserts looked good but we didn't try any. Edit to add the bathrooms were really clean and they also had Narcan in both the men and women's which I think is a really cool way to keep an eye out for your neighbors.

It's not good customer service. Apologizing over and over again for the waiting does not make it better. It highlights the inequality. I pay for my sandwich like everyone else does (in fact I pay more because I have to order the gluten free version) and I should have the same courtesy extended to me that everyone else receives. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time I've experienced this at this location. It's a shame because I really want to support local businesses.

Even though they were packed on a Tuesday at noon we were immediately greeted with a friend smile and we were seated right away. Just as soon as the tables cleared out, they were filling up again! Service was fast, friendly and attentive. Their menu is quite large and includes breakfast, lunch and dinner items. I enjoyed the country fried steak with country gravy. While the outside of this restaurant appears quite plain and unassuming. The inside is clean, cozy farmhouse atmosphere with comfortable booths and table options. They even have a large banquet room off the side that can be reserved for special events.

The staff was very welcoming, and we were able to be seated right away. The pizza here is amazing. You have your choice of thin crust, pan style, and gluten free. They even have oven-ready frozen pizzas so you can enjoy the Monicals goodness in the comfort of your own home. We started out with an order of their cheesy garlic bread. It was a very excellent start to our meal! For our pizza, we opted for the 16 inch large thin crust with pepperoni and onion. It was amazing! The sauce and the ingredients really made the pizza come together nicely. If you're not feeling up for pizza, Monicals also has sandwiches, salads, and pasta. There is a kids menu also for those 12 and under. Monicals, seriously, please look into expanding into Wisconsin!

I literally had about 1 min to review before the exit and decided we'd go for it. It's a really cute cafe that is a hidden gem in a small town, once you walk in you no longer feel like you're in the mid west. It's colorfully decorated and they have great upbeat music playing which was a nice touch. No idea why we were the only patrons on a Sat at 12:30, but no matter, the service and food was excellent! I got the grouper sandwhich which was delicious, I love fish burgers that are actual pieces of fish and it had great seasoning. I also had the sparking raspberry lemonade which was yum! Hubby had the lobster and crab Reuben which he thoroughly enjoyed. We split the carrot cake which was top notch!!! Great lunch that I'm glad we stumbled upon!

First of all, the quality and variety of the baked goods, as well as the hand made sammiches that…read moreemploy those baked goods are the bomb and probly worth the trip. I've had occasion to make it over to this large bakery/cafe just north of downtown C-U for lunch a couple times and never been disappointed. Granted the food (including a couple fantastic side salad options) isn't cheap, but everything is made properly with high quality ingredients and well worth the occasional splurge. Although we have only tried some samples, there's even a fancy coffee cafe within.5 Factor in that all the employees we've met (including the delivery people out in the Central IL grocery stores) have been pleasantly passionate about their products, and you start to understand how they've come to stand out in what seems like a fading industry. That said, it also seems like the shelves with high end grocery items like exotic olive oils, Momofuku noodles, hard to find jams and other condiments, have dwindled in the last year or two, likely due to tariff-based cost models, but you are still likely to find a new favorite 'something' just browsing while they craft your sammy. Even if it's just a 'cronut' or a loaf of that amazing olive ciabatta or sourdough, it is becoming a mandatory C-U stop for us.
