We were there Saturday at noon snd there was one couple in when we entered and one when we left so not overly busy. Like I said menu is basic bar food. Wife got chicken strips snd fries which were all right. I had bbq sand which and it was overly microwaved do the meat was a little hard. I think the chili was made there and seemed fresher. It was pretty good.

Stopped here for a late lunch and the food and service were wonderful. I highly recommend the pork…read moresandwich, it was amazing and I will definitely be back to have it again.

If you like a good old fashioned breakfast diner experience, then the Old 50 Cafe is your spot…read more We're talking big portions, hearty menu items (not a microgreen in sight), and constant coffee cup refills. Yes, please. On my visit here, I ordered the breakfast horseshoe, which is a menu item I noticed on multiple menus in Southern Illinois but haven't ever seen it elsewhere. Apparently, it's a variation of a classic horseshoe sandwich that originated in Springfield, Illinois. Anyway, my breakfast consisted of a bed of hashbrowns, topped with biscuits, two breakfast sausage patties, all smothered in gravy and topped with two eggs your way (I got them scrambled). It was a gravy drenched delight. The kind of breakfast that will have you saying things like 'whew! That really sticks to your ribs' and 'my tummy is so happy right now.' No? Just me, then? The service was kind and attentive (our coffee cups were kept delightfully full) and the prices are super reasonable. Get to it!

Made a camping trip to Carlyle Lake and saw a quaint cafe to try. Old 40 Cafe was a great…read moreexperience for a nice meal is a great town. Friendly staff seated is quickly, took our drink order and spent time providing recommendations for us. Old 50 Cafe serves breakfast and lunch and closes at 2pm daily. I provide pictures of their menu and as you can see they can easily ale some for any pallet. I highly recommend getting the deluxe with lunch entrees as it some with the soup of the day and fries. Soup was awesome and beats anything you see in the big city. Cafe was very clean and again very friendly staff. Our next visit to the lake will include a stop at Old 50 Cafe. Give them a try if you're in the area!!!

When I review restaurants, I am often asked about the food, the service, and the ambience. First,…read moreI'll start with the last - ambience. This restaurant is well decorated and taken care of. When you arrive at the large expeditious parking area and you come inside, immediately you feel like you are in an authentic Mexican environment, complete with natural native music - at the proper volume level. Next, service, since I speak Spanish, I enjoy speaking with the staff, however, they treat everyone in a cordial manner. My wait for food to arrive on the table was normal, and I did not see anyone complaining. Finally, the delicious filling food is excellent, and again, I hate to use the word redundantly but, it is very authentic and properly spiced. I have had the taco salad in both chicken and beef, which unlike many others, has more than enough sour cream and guacamole to enhance the dish. Today I opted for an appetizer, the shrimp cocktail. This dish is rather deceiving. You only see four shrimp on top, garnished by lime slices. However, in the sweet relish sauce, you will find more tender fresh plump shrimp. A wonderful beautiful cool dish for a hot day. I would encourage everyone to come by and not only enjoy the restaurant, but the magnificent view of the largest man-made lake in Illinois - Carlyle Lake. Next time, I am going to have the combination shrimp, steak, and chicken tropical pina fajita served on a pineapple half, or maybe, perhaps the Pollo Fiesta. We shall see. Until then "Tener un apetito agradable!"

Terrible. Do not recommend. Arrived at six pm. Tried for 30 minutes to order food at the backside…read morebar. Staff would not even acknowledge or look at us. Finally had to go inside to find someone who would wait on us and take our food order. Not off to a good start with this place. Finally got food ordered at 6:40. At 8:10, still no food. Ordered nachos and onion rings. Place was not busy at all. Absolutely ridiculous. And to top it off we still got to pay full price. Can't believe people come here. Please go somewhere else.
