The person who took my order was wonderfully friendly and helpful as was the delivery person. For my first go-round, I went with the Almost Famous Pork Tenderloin Sandwich and the Rings of Kerry. The tenderloin was nicely oversized, tender, and not dry, with good breading. It had a little tang in the taste that was odd but not off-putting. I got cole slaw, which is homemade and tastes fine but is a little goopy for me. The Rings of Kerry (onion rings) were huge. Crispy with that wonderful Guinness beer batter. They also pack a punch with the amount of oil in them - definitely need a drink with these (it's a slight grease overload). Good pub-type options, and I want to try a few of their other offerings.

We came here while in town for graduation at Illinois State University. While on the outside it is…read moreunassuming, the inside reveals a clean, large dining room that feels upscale. We had a reservation so we were seated promptly at a large table in its own little alcove in the back. While the place was busy, we could chat comfortably with one another and felt adequately separate from other tables. The menu has a bit of everything, so everyone should be able to find something they like on it. We started with cocktails, mozzarella sticks, and pretzel bites. The cocktails were good but I could've used less sweetness in mine. The mozzarella sticks and pretzels bites were standard, which means they were great as usual. For a group of 5 of us, an order of each was enough to hold us over until the main meal. I personally got the fish sandwich for my dinner with fries. The fish was great and large enough that it hung over the sides of the bun. My only complaint about the sandwich was the lack of tartar sauce on it. The cook must have just added the smallest dash, as the only sign it was there was a little spot of discoloration on the bun. The fish was good but the sandwich would have been better with more moisture from that tartar. The fries it came with were standard shoe string fries. Nothing special but hit the spot all the same. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their meals as well and we left comfortably full with no leftovers. Overall the meal came at a good pace, the atmosphere was nice, and the prices were reasonably. If in town again we would come back here.

After getting back to our car finally in air conditioning, I looked for a place for lunch and picked Destihl in Champaign. VERY MEMORABLE MEAL. My husband and kids were very happy. Fastforward 8 years. My kids are teens and we go down to ISU for the state Special Olympics championship. My child who barely walked last time is now particpating in a sporting event and I need a place for lunch. I literally started looking on Yelp hoping to find something like that meal we had back in 2018. What do you know but Destihl is in Normal and we can go there. Went for lunch with a reservation on a Friday. They were very busy so I was happy I reserved. The service was awesome (Emil was our server). We ordered two apps (Snack plate / Pretzel) and all got lunches (Pickled Mac n Cheese, Fish tacos, Club). We didn't want to eat too much since we had a lot of walking in the sun coming for us. Everything was great. Here's the deal with Destihl and what I like about it: Lots of components to dishes and it works. Each component is well-thought out, very fresh and seasoned perfectly. I wanted to order everything on the menu. The first time wasn't a fluke (I was afraid it might be). I'm glad they are still creating great food and service. The restaurant is very roomy and comfortable. While we don't live close, we will make it back whenever we're around ISU.

We discovered Barrel House in July 2025. The first thing we tried were their fried mushrooms. These…read moreare not your average, every day, frozen bagged appetizers. They are huge portobello mushrooms, hand breaded, with their special sauce for dipping. We've actually gone back just to have these as a meal. There is something on the menu for everyone, from burgers and pizzas, to salads and wraps. We've tried many options on the menu. But so far, our favorite is the fish & chips. Again, a hand battered, huge portion of haddock. And go for the pickled cucumbers, sliced so thin you can almost see through them. Service is fantastic. When you go (and I know you will) ask for Ashley. She is a genuine, hard working, young lady who knows the menu and how to approach diners. She'll make recommendations based on your palet and is attentive to her customers. Barrel House is located on South Veteran's at the Double Tree Hotel.

We had to ask for extra sauce, and they were missing the sour cream that was shown in the menu picture. The portions were also very small for the price. The service was extremely slow. It took about 15 minutes before our server came to take our drink orders, and our food took a long time to arrive. We also had issues with a coupon that wouldn't scan. The server had to get the manager, who said she couldn't honor it because it was " old and too big of a discount" even though it was on the app and only offered us $2 off instead. We also had a $5 gift card that was forgotten when the bill was brought out, and we had to ask for the manager again to have it corrected. Overall, this was a frustrating experience with slow service, disappointing food, and unnecessary issues at checkout. Unfortunately, this visit did not live up to the experiences we've had here in the past. And people came in way after us and left way before us so we don't know why they were not taking care of our table.

Place was plenty busy with kids having pizza parties. Place was not fancy nor was the food. Plenty of TVs to choose from so we parked ourselves just outside the kitchen door facing a big multi screen set up. Started with a Cobb Salad with the intention of having salad and pizza. They had several pizza options that looked very good: square, hand tossed and the cheese crusted box. Salad was plenty big but nothing fancy. Served the two of us with some to spare. Boiled egg, tomatoes, onions, green peppers and cheese, but the lettuce was cut in an odd way and actually continued a core section. Blue cheese and an Italian dressing came on the side. Nevertheless, we ate it during the first half. We had every intention of ordering pizza but got tracked by the chicken fingers on the menu. Nana's giant chicken fingers were huge, the size of a chicken breast. There were 4 of them in the order. We decided on the hot-spicy herb Parmesan sauce. Well, that was a lot of chicken. The coating was heavy breading covered with hot sauce. That actually worked for us because the coating came off without much effort. We never got the pizza. That was probably a mistake. We watched the game and jumped into the car very satisfied for the rest of the trip. I can't make a recommendation based on the food, but I can say the staff was friendly and attentive. Would return for a kids party and stick to the pizza.

KITCHEN IS GROSS I was doing a job here and noticed how nasty and dirty everything is back in the kitchen area. Flies swarming the place just pitiful. PLUS the owner is a cheap skate after my company did over $1000 worth of work for them they never paid. Dont waste your time i had the chicken wings too and they were 100% OLD and had been frozen forever the meat that has once been white was a nasty dark brown color. Yuck! All of the employees look dirty as well probably the worst management EVER!! read more

Not quite as light and airy of a batter as say 'On The Hook' fried fish, but the cornmeal crust here is tasty without being overly greasy and is liberally tossed with the aforementioned LP. For the first visit I was happy to see what looked like a pile of freshly fried wings come out through the kitchen window, and in kind ordered us only wings and drinks. They were hot and tasty, but still took 15 mins. The second visit was just for the fish and I watched them dredge and fry it. Turnaround time, just under 15 mins. Neither scenario was during peak lunch or dinner rush (2 & 3 pm timeframes) but in both cases the lot was fairly full and there were ~10-12 patrons, mostly waiting.
