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!

They're only open for breakfast and lunch. Basic looking place but has more room than expected to be honest. It's got a back area with a bar and slots. The bad thing is this place isn't open later because there would be fun times. Has breakfast and lunch menus. It's about $12 to get a sandwich and a side. A lot of the menu is meaty. We each got the Veggie Sub. Comes with avocados, black olives, carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, Muenster which I left off, onions, tomatoes, and a vinaigrette, along with choice of a side, which I got with chips. This was pretty good even though the lettuce seemed old. Other menu items include chicken salad and typical deli classics. There's also breakfast with eggs and other stuff. For sure could get something from here again. It's best to go at lunch. They're closed Wednesdays.

This sandwich shop and coffee bar has a fun industrial and vintage charm, and plenty of seating throughout the location. The location was also well lit and airy, and I loved the exposed brick walls and fun eclectic frames along the walls. The service was also excellent and the girls who worked here were so sweet and helpful! My boyfriend and I both got the reuben and our friend got a chicken wrap. Both of them said they enjoyed their meals, and I thought my reuben was excellent and much preferred to typical road trip fast food stops. It was genuinely the perfect stop midway from Nebraska to Chicago, and a nice opportunity to stretch our legs and have a refreshing and filling meal. I would definitely recommend to try Big Bill's!

A pretty filling thing stuffed with lots of it. There also was cucumbers and spinach. For sure it's a great place at breakfast. It's got a lot more options at lunch. They're closed Tuesdays.

There is handicap parking, and the building is handicap accessible. Having never been there before, we were thankful for the signage directing us to the doors. They do have a couple of picnic tables outside. If you choose to sit out there to eat in the sunshine, that is an option. The staff was very friendly and greeted us as soon as we walked in the door, which is always nice when trying a new place. The restaurant is a little rustic. However, it was very clean and decorated to go with the marina setting in mind. The menu had plenty of options. However, some options on the menu are not always available. They also have several specials written on a board on the wall. I asked if they serve breakfast all day and was told they do have some who come in any time of day just for breakfast. I am however unclear as to what days and hours they are open. There were 2 of us in our party and both happened to order a chicken sandwich and fries. One was a grilled chicken sandwich and the other was the fried chicken sandwich. They were both very good with a unique and flavorful sauce on them. There was a sweet fry bread on the specials board so we ordered it to go and it was fantastic. We decided if we are ever in the area again, we would return just for that.

It may be kind of dumpy inside but the place is also full of crazy personality. A lot of the basics along with a few fancier items. The prices are pretty okay for the portions and quality. Basically if you're a group it will probably be waiting for a table so go early. It's one of the popular places to go around here. The last time coming here we got seats at the bar and there wasn't any waiting. Has a lot of cool memorabilia to look at. There's a bunch of funny signs on the walls. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. The Fuzzy Navel is one of the classics you can get. It's about $13 for a burger and fries. They have a veggie burger that can substitute. We each got one of these. I got it with the toppings of the Basic Burger. These come with the usual toppings like lettuce, mayonnaise which I left off, onions, pickles, and tomatoes. She got it with the toppings of the Olive Burger. These come with cheddar, lettuce, mayonnaise, olives, onions, Swiss, and tomatoes. For sure it gets busy. It's located on Main at Franklin.

She took our drink orders and brought one of us the wrong beer. Ordering process was pretty straight forward. 4 of us got our food. The other couple ordered pizza and had to wait some time. Burgers were ok. Fries were obviously under a heat lamp for a while. Returned for fresh ones.
