The giardiniera peppers are fantastic and I believe homemade. Apparently the owner of this place came out of Chicago and that's where the taste of the food came from. I've tried several Italian beef and this place does them well: toasted / buttered roll, good beef with delicious flavor ... au jus for $6.50! Side note: they have single, double and triple burgers for very inexpensive. I've been here several times, yet just now reviewing! Last note, the bartender Victoria working there is funny and fun!

We dropped in after the funeral for a friend…read more My wife ordered their French Dip, and I ordered the Wagyu Burger, medium rare. She got the ancient grains with hers. We also ordered a side of Cheese Curds. No photos of those - I was too hungry. So, let's start with the cheese curds. For reference, we have tried a ton of these, and this version was not great. The curds were "hollow" in the center of the fried section. We've had better. The dipping sauce was good. No salt or pepper is on the table. The Wagyu Burger was cooked to order, but tasted bland. It needed a good dose of salt or something, but nothing was available. My wife had their French Dip. I tried a bit of it - she liked it. It tasted pretty good, so she got the better end of the order. Her tea and my Dr. Pepper tasted okay. Service was good. The interior of the restaurant was attractive. It's just the food was amazingly bland. Like blah.

We are on a road trip to visit family and stopped in here for a quick lunch. The place was really…read morebusy and it was seat yourself so we opted for a table in the back corner. It was 11:30a. The waitress told us that there would be a party in the back room at 12:30, but she thought an hour was plenty of time for us to lunch at that table. Husband ordered the BLT (good but needed more, and thicker, bacon to be filling) and I had the grilled fish sandwich (good portion but a little bland). Our sides were the Cole slaw (yummy) and the sweet potato waffle fries (tasted great but they were not hot enough- temps were freezing so I think that's why) Service was excellent. The party showed up 30 mins early so felt very pressed to eat in a hurry and get out of their way as they were setting up for something big.

We loved this placed!…read more It was very off season so we were waiting all week until Thursday when they were open to try it. Our large group of 3 families enjoyed breakfast here and the lovely staff were very accommodating to our chaos. 3 grandparents, 4 parents and 4 toddlers to order, eat and we all enjoyed ourselves. We all loved the treats, the food, and best coffee we could find in the starved rock area! I got for the 4 I was in charge of: 2 hot vanilla latte, a kids French toast with bacon, a biscuit and gravy, cream horn, cinnamon roll, and more treats I can't recall now. Highly recommend this cute little stop and if we are in the area again we'd definitely stop by!
