But seeing a friendly face when you are traveling alone, it's just fantastic and what helped make my decision to come back daily when I normally switch things up with where I eat.

Review Visit: March 11th, 2014…read more The place where I learned that I don't like Hellman's Mayonnaise. Mayonnaise seems to be such a controversial condiment. It has its fair share of lovers and it has its fair share of haters. There seems to be no middle ground. Personally, I like it when it can compliment a meal but too little and it does nothing and too much floods out the other flavors. Head West was suggested to me when I was first putting together my travel list in 2011 by my friend Annalyn. She said it was the best place to get subs in Springfield. I took her word on that and decided to check it out on one of my first trips to the city of Abraham Lincoln. I wasn't sure what to expect from Head West. The name and logo gave me a few different expectations but I don't think what it is and what I expected aligned very well. The restaurant was heavy on the greens and purples from what I remember. Like something you would see in New Orleans. Seeing as this was forever ago, I don't really remember what I got but I do remember the fatal mistake I made. When I unrolled my sub sandwich and I was presented with some mayo packets, I added them to my sub to the level I thought was appropriate. I was naive. I was young. I didn't know better. It took a few bites for me to realize that I don't like Hellman's Mayo. Not one bit. Sadly, I did too good of a job when I added it as it was evenly spread across the whole sandwich. Bite after bite, I tried to tell my brain that it was good. It was delicious. It was not the worst thing I had. But in the end, I had to admit it was nasty. The sub itself was really good and the Jones Soda washed everything down rather well. This was my first time having a Jones Soda and that was far from disappointing. After choking down the sub, we made our exit. I have forever cursed that mayonnaise for ruining my sub on that day. On the bright side, I would be willing to go back and try a sub again. As I said prior, the sub itself was great. It was just marred by that awful goop called a condiment.

He was inefficient, i waited at least 10 minutes and got half my order BEFORE the folks who order in front of me. Then waited another 10 minutes for our second sandwich... my wife was done eating before I got my sandwich and my fries were cold. This guy was outwardly rude to everyone that I witnessed. I guess why I pay over $30 for fast food sandwich's, I expect at least fresh food and a pleasant experience. I got neither here today. That being said the sandwich was excellent!

Located inside Anvil and Forge!…read more This is a locals haunt. They use old world farm type of textiles to fuse old with new world. They have art on the wall for sale. It's colorful, loud and tough with spirits! Now the kitchen inside the distillery is the Foundry Kitchen. It's a local haunt that sells pizza, salads, burgers, and various other food items. Get your grooves on and enjoy the eats of authentic food in all its glory. The service is great. When you order a soda from the bar they have free refills. They have complementary water in the lobby area that's self serve. They bring the food to the table based on the number assigned. Love the rich and spicy sauces they use. However you go make sure and have fries along with your burger or sandwich they are truly delicious. The best of evening fun, food, and brews here. I

I also had one of their beers but can't remember which one, maybe it was blueberry?? It was good but a little sweet so wish I had gotten a smaller one. The fries were also great, obviously home made. I will say we sat outside because it was a gorgeous day but you can't walk back in the side door so you have to walk around to the front every time which was odd and inconvenient.

In addition to the warm and hospitable atmosphere, the family is gracious and welcoming. The food is Southern Italian and magnificent.

If ever you are in the region of Riverton Illinois, Gallina's is a MUST stop. It is an easy jump off of Interstate 72 that will repay your time with a delicious family meal from the Old Country. Order additional bread!!!

The moment I walked in the door I was hit with an overwhelming scent of deliciousousness! I had the anti pasta salad, which was off the charts. It has just the right amount of everything, incl the dressing. The toasted garlic bread hit the spot too. The minestrone soup was just the right touch to round it out. There was so much I ended up bringing at least a third of it all with me. I look forward to returning and trying more dishes on the menu.

I sat and waited until 1:00 and when I asked how long it would be, the staff was super rude and said "Yeah man, sit down, we are busy". They certainly didn't look busy, aside from the fact that they were taking forever to make sandwiches. Except when people they knew walked in, they were served right away. They need to shut this restaurant down, fire everyone, and start over. They never get the order correct and clearly don't care about service. Order was finally finished around 1:15, 30 minutes after we wanted and 1 hour and 45 minutes after we ordered..... for cold cuts. Got home, they had shorted us a sandwich, chips, and two sides of ranch. Went back, they were rude when I asked that they give us what we had already paid them for, put us to the back of the line, and I waited another 30 minutes. Horrible staff. Horrible service. Horrible food.

You have to eat 15 of their Wall wings. I didn't want that many so I didn't do the challenge. I did try the Wall wong and one of their dry rubs. The Wall wings were hot. I can easily complete the challenge. But the Wall wings sauce wasn't very good but it wasn't bad. They were just okay. My dry rub was good. So we're the fries. Yelpers should hive this place a try.

Review Visit: September 27th, 2016…read more I have been to many ice cream shacks/burger and let me tell you... This may have been one of the best burgers I have ever had. It easily places Top 5 for me. Maybe even Top 3! I grabbed a simple burger with the usual toppings and it was amazing. They are thin patties a la Steak N Shake, but they taste 100x better. For $2 for a simple burger... you really can do no better. I grabbed a small strawberry ice cream and that was pretty great, too! But why not a perfect 5? Well, the cashier was great at taking the order, but the professionalism of the staff behind the counter was a bit immature. Maybe I am just getting old.... They also have quite a few Decatur locations, one in Pawnee, and one in Mt. Zion you can also visit, if you are never in Springfield, IL.

The owner is obviously checked out because the place is a wreck and disgusting. Can't afford even to paint the picnic tables I guess. Food isn't great either and takes forever. Used to have a manager who worked here for years and the food was better. Since he has left and the owner is there, place is a mess. Burgers aren't the same anymore and again paying way more than any other location by far and their rent is no way more than other locations like in Forsyth! Btw, Forsyth is the best location for all aspects- clean, food is always good and the staff is amazing! Worst Krekel's out of all of them.
