The food and drink at Hand of Fate was amazing. We went out for lunch around the area and stopped…read moreby for a beer and a sandwich. We ordered the fried onions, which were thin and not the expected onion rings, however the fried green beans were the best! When ordering, it takes a little while to put in your order and they get the beer for you as you are ordering. We had a group of 5 and if you ordered your beer first, then you had to wait to order anything else. There was plenty of seating inside, but as it was a beautiful day, we decided to sit outside where they have a nice 3-4 table area for some people to lounge.

Love Copper & Oak in Lincoln, IL! The atmosphere is fantastic, warm, and inviting. The drinks were…read moreexcellent, and you can tell a lot of thought went into the menu. We were there on a night with a one-man band who was seriously impressive, and when he wasn't playing, the music on TouchTunes kept the vibe going perfectly. The owners were there, super friendly and down to earth, and you can genuinely feel how much heart and soul they're putting into the place. Copper & Oak has absolutely raised the bar for Lincoln. Highly recommend! Can't wait to go back!

I had the Steering Wheel and it was one of the best French Dips, I've ever had. Sweet potato fries and the krinkle fries were tasty.

We had been here before, but it had been a while! Good food…read moreand a fun place for kids and adults alike! They were very busy, but lots of seating and got seated fairly quick! While we waited for our food, some of us walked over to the little museum. The owner came over and talked to us a bit and our grandson's liked all the car stuff and memorabilia! They host bands, but we were just there for lunch on a rainy day! I had the chicken salad which was very good and liked the fact it didn't have raw onion like a lot of places have as I can't do raw onion. I asked for it in a wrap instead of the croissant that it normally comes on and they accommodated my request. I went with the home made chips, which were different than most have. They were really good and I shared them with others. Two of our Grandson's had pizza which they liked and another Grandson had the pulled pork nacho's with his Grandpa. Our daughter had the protein bowl which she enjoyed as well. I was sitting at the other end, so not sure what anyone else had. We will be back again!

Hialeah Club seems to be a place for locals to congregate, which we loved. More love that the staff…read moreseemed to be local, too. The surrounding area is rich with natural beauty, but sparse with dining options, and we were happy to find a breakfast spot after a frigid morning stroll at Chautauqua Nature Reserve. I ordered biscuits and gravy with two eggs. The biscuits were fresh, the gravy flavorful, and my eggs perfect overeasies. My wife ordered a skillet of some sort, and darling, as a lifelong rule, I hate onions, but this was the first time in my life I've ever actually enjoyed onions. I shit you not. What are they doing in there? We're a transgender couple and were a smidge concerned about our safety dining in a tiny town dive bar, but Hialeah Club could not have been lovelier. I should have known -- Illinois is a delight, and people here are delightful. Thank you for serving up good grub.

Kemp's is probably the best place to go eat in town it seems. A good reason is because there's not much else. The food is pretty average but there's some good things for adults and families. Chill atmosphere even at times when it's crowded. It's located in the middle of downtown or whatever you call it. There's not a whole lot else to go to for a meal. Certainly explains why it gets busy. People only have a few choices and this is one of these. It's about $6 for a basic cocktail. Whole lot of great stuff including whiskey. It's about $5 to get appetizers. We got the Chips And Salsa. Has a lot of greasy fried things like wings and other meats. The menu is pretty standard as far as fried stuff. Has a lot of the basics. It's closed Sundays. That's pretty strange for them to lose out on all that revenue on weekends.

Fantastic local pub in downtown Lexington, Illinois. We selected this location as it already had…read moregreat reviews and was very close to the northeast trailhead of the "Constitution Trail" of the Bloomington/Normal area. The staff here was fabulous with a special shout-out to John. What I found particularly impressive was the amazing selection of craft brews for a small town. The staff was particularly knowledgeable about both the selection and even the breweries that supplied them! I even found some of my favorite and uncommon Chicagoland brews, although I selected some excellent brews from the Bloomington/Normal area. ( Drink local!) Food was wonderful and quickly delivered. I gave five stars on food because it is top quality relative to pubs in general. The Blue Cheese burger was great. I sampled the butterflied pork chop sandwich of the other meal we had and that was a standout! Ambiance is nice as if fitting a local pub in an older downtown building. One notable feature is the walls and ceiling are covered in banners and flags of various kinds which dramatically limits the amount of background noise that would normally be in such a building. There is also a nice outdoor beer garden. This local establishment is well worth the extra minutes off Interstate 55. Also highly recommended to cycling who travel out to the northeast terminus of the trail!

The chicken was perfectly cooked, incredibly moist, and packed with rich flavor--exactly what a grilled chicken sandwich is supposed to be. No dry, overcooked chicken here. Every bite was satisfying and well-seasoned from start to finish. Sometimes a chicken sandwich doesn't need to be complicated. When the chicken is prepared this well, that's what makes it stand out. Well-balanced, satisfying, and consistently excellent from the first bite to the last. Fatman Bishop's nailed this one. If you're a grilled chicken sandwich fan, this is definitely worth trying. Five stars all the way!
