On the way home from Saint Louis my job was to find us a great non franchise place to eat - off the beaten path. Scored big with The Silo! We all had great food with leftovers to take home. They were busy for lunch but the team still took great care of us. Cool decor in a converted service station. If we are ever back in the area we will be back! read more

The food we ordered was good, the food going to tables around us looked good too!! We had a ribeye and the Trex (baked potato with pulled pork). Both were excellent choices. Sweet tea was freshly made and the staff was just as sweet as the tea! If we lived closer, we'd go often. Don't let the run-down feel fool you, this place feels like you're visiting friends! read more

The Silo - I forgot to take a pic of my food so here's the front door. - American Near Me - Marshal, Illinois

Service good, no issues. Portions are very large so if you are just moderately hungry the baked potato and pork tenderloin sandwich could each easily be cut in half. Prices were very good. Would be back and likely split a meal. For the pork tenderloin sandwich it's about the size of a man's hand, was well prepared but as a sandwich the taste was boring. No sauce, dip, mayo, spice or anything. I asked for buffalo and mayo which was good addition (and they kindly provided on request) but I think if they had an option to make it like a "hot chicken" or just dress with buffalo sauce, gravy or even cheese that would make it the bomb. Could even serve it without bread as a tenderloin alone which would have been good. read more

We were in town to see family and wanted a steakhouse. Literally drove an hour to come here based on the feedback from everyone around us and it was worth the drive. Their special was bone in ribeye cooked perfectly. No steak sauce needed. Sides we had their homemade apple slaw and their loaded baked potato salad. Service was great. They were attentive, quick and extremely nice. read more

The Silo - Bone in ribeye - American Near Me - Marshal, Illinois

We sat at the bar and got the TRex, billed as their most popular food truck fav. Yep, I can see why. It was awesome. And huge. And awesome. I would go back for more, but they are far from my home and any route I'm likely to be on again. If you find yourself in Marshall, do yourself a favor and have a meal here. Oh, and check out the World's Largest Gavel in town, too! It's not necessarily clear if they seat you or if you just find a spot - my companion and I walked in and waited at the stand in front for a few minutes before just wandering around to the back bar. If we hadn't done that, I'm not sure if we'd still be standing there. But the locals must know what to do, because the place was packed for lunch on a random Tuesday. Not the most comfortable/fancy space, but sounds like they used to be a food truck, so probably still upgrading. I hope they are super successful and that the interiors grow to match the quality of the food. read more

Great ribeye sandwich and the staff was excellent too. Definitely will come back next time coming thru town

We had never been to the silo, but had heard that it was good. Good is an understatement. It was great. Susan was our server and she did an absolute great job. The food was outstanding and portions were very generous. We will definitely be back. read more

I thought this was a good small time restaurant. If you are looking for a good place to go in Marshall, this is a good choice. There is a small bar area with tvs and a cute tiki bar setup. There is also an additional dinning room attached to the building. We got the Nachyo mamas nachos and they were large. We got the small and definitely could've fed 5 people for a snack. We also got a margarita flight. We thought that was a little pricey for what it was. It was $20. There are a ton of margarita flavors though. For a meal, I got the pulled pork sandwhich and smoked Mac and cheese. I wish the pulled pork sandwhich was much more juicy. It was pretty dry pork. The bbq sauce was good on it. The smoked Mac and cheese was good. The best part is it had real bacon. Yum!! read more

The Silo - Smoked Mac and Cheese and Pulled Pork Sandwhich - American Near Me - Marshal, Illinois

Went for the prime rib night and it did not disappoint!!! I even asked if they could blacken/char it for me and they did it to perfection! The margarita flight was incredible. They also substituted rum for me instead of tequila, I don't care for tequila, and they were sooo good! Our waitress was super engaging and worked her butt off to provide excellent service. It's more of a "hole in the wall" type experience and I couldn't have been happier about it. Love this place and will definitely be back. read more

Dear everyone who's ever eaten food before, Put down your forks. Stop what you're doing. Get in your car, on your horse, summon a portal--do whatever it takes--and go to The Silo. I don't care if you're 5 minutes away or 5 states. The pork tenderloin sandwich here rewired my brain and rebooted my entire tastebud ecosystem. I took one bite and my soul tried to escape my body out of sheer joy, but it couldn't because it was TOO BUSY THROWING A DANCE PARTY IN MY MOUTH. The pork? Juicy like it was blessed by Poseidon himself. Crispy edges that crunched with the same satisfaction as crushing all your enemies. The bun? A soft, golden cloud that lovingly cradled that glorious hunk of meat like a baby in a manger. I would write love poems to this sandwich. I would betray a small nation for another one. Halfway through, I blacked out from happiness and woke up speaking fluent pork. I tried to explain the experience to my friends, but all that came out was me screaming "TENDERLOINNNNN" into the sky like a barbarian summoning lightning. Pretty sure I ascended. Like, spiritually. My cholesterol went up and so did my vibration. read more

Visited the Silo when we traveled back home. It was fantastic. I had smothered chicken and it was awesome. The service was great and it is such a cute place. read more

The food is alway amazing. Great service also! Our group all enjoy it too. We get to visit share some adult beverages and good food. We know the waitresses pretty good now to they take good care of us always. And have been accommodated by the cook as well for special request. read more

Friday evenings get a little crazy, but early in the week- wonderful. You most likely get 2 meals for the price of one, and really tasty.

We could not have had a better experience! From the upbeat attitude of the hostess to the incredible service from our server, Susan, to the fantastic food. 10 out of 10! Steaks were cooked perfectly. Beer super cold. Margaritas were a good as you'll find anywhere. We live an hour away and will be back soon! read more

Great food and service for a very good price. Highly recommended. Have had the burgers and baked potato. Tried the kettle chips as well. Can't go wrong here. Margarita flights are excellent! read more

Great little gem of a restaurant! If looking for something with a unique twist, this place is a must. The smoked macaroni and cheese topped with bacon.., great! Then there is the Apple Coleslaw, probably one of the best I've had. Then there was our main course, Ribeye which was cooked perfectly! If in Marshall and even if you're not worth the ride! read more

Reservation on New Year's Eve. They were very busy. The staff was still very friendly. There was miscommunication on a meal, but the staff went way above and beyond to make sure we had a great night! Our server was fantastic. We will definitely be back. read more

Food was awesome we had the ribeye and pulled pork worth the long drive. Service was excellent and so friendly, definitely made me feel welcomed. read more

Found this bar/diner while traveling. Good food and great service. Much better than the chain restaurants closer to the interstate.

The food and service was great! Susan was a great server and I would recommend stopping by. If you like great food, this is your place.

Great food, service was awesome!! Pork tenderloin sandwiches were huge and so good. Chicken sandwich was cooked to perfection and steak was done just right. Kettle chips and brew fries made for some delicious sides. Hope to get back again this summer. Thanks for a great meal and time. read more

Fun atmosphere and the cheese bombs were da bomb. We didn't get the pretzel, but it looked amazing, as did the nachos. However, my Cuban was missing both mustard and cheese and my wife's fries were chewy and so dark they seemed to have been left in the oil too long. They've definitely got a lot going for them, though. Sadly, my meal was a miss. read more

We visited this restaurant again this past weekend and we had our best meal yet!! The service was excellent!! Kenny was our waiter and he offered us the best service EVER!! We ordered the grilled shrimp and it was absolutely delicious!! They had outside seating which is a favorite of ours.....we will definitely be back :) read more

Small crowded loud dining and bar area. Margaritas are overrated sticky candy flavored with little tequila with one blender in the entire place to slowly make any partially frozen drinks. There saving item is the nachos. read more

Amazing food!! Very large portions...come hungry! Friendly service. Would definitely recommend. The Charcuterie Board, Cuban sandwich, Rooster wrap, and Chicken Street Tacos were delicious. read more

This is my first time there. It's absolutely no ambience it's like a school cafeteria. With that being said I thought the food was good. I had the ribeye sandwich and fries and my dining friend had the grilled chicken and fries. We were both satisfied with the food. They use a lot of fans in there so I guess that takes care of slow or no air conditioning. read more

We found this spot via Apple Maps as we were passing through. It's a small Mom and Pop operation. It was a busy lunch hour when we visited. We ordered 3 ribeye sandwiches and a Trex loaded baked potato. The food came out fast and was hot and freshly prepared. $10 for ribeye sandwich with homemade chips is a steal! The baked potato was huge and it was topped with a generous portion of pulled pork. read more

Food okay. The service great. The restaurant was the filthiest place I have ever ate. The carpet looked like it has never been cleaned. The Cushioned seats just filthy with stains. Flies everywhere. We will never go back because of the filthy appearance of the entire restaurant. I'm so sorry to give such a bad review. read more

Food is delicious. Reservations are recommended. The place is always packed. Depending on where you sit it can be a little crowded. Staff are great. We eat here frequently. read more

First time here. It's in an old garage. Pretty fun atmosphere. Very busy this Saturday night. Our waitress, Susan, was personable and good. My filet was really good - prepared perfectly and tender. Quick service. We'll be back! read more

The only reason this place gets a score of 2 is that the fried cheese was good. EVERYTHING else was overcooked but cold ?!! Crazy. Never again read more

I had pulled pork and blue cheese slaw, both of which were great. But the girl who took my order was really nice, and I think the service was great. read more

Well to begin with pulling up to the restaurant the place looks nice on the outside. walking in, the entry way is a little dated and the layout is a little quirky. If you're gonna have the guests walk past the kitchen then i expect the kitchen to be clean. Getting to the service, we were seated quickly and orders were taken quickly and accurately. Appetizers came out reasonably fast , we had the chicken nachos which were a fair serving. We also ordered the cheese bombs, which were very good. One of us ordered the Rooster Wrap, which was sorta bland, but still edible by all means just lacking FLAVOR. Another item we ordered was the Giant Pretzel, which didn't disappoint in size, the pretzel was served soft and hot. But the cheese was hit or miss with some of us. The other item we order was the T-Rex which was a decently sized potato served with fries, which the fries were good! But the potato wasn't served with enough butter and sour compared to the size of the potato. The last item we ordered was the Drunkin' Hog which was a half pound burger with bacon, ham, cheddar cheese, and beer cheese. The Meats were served fully cooked and were delicious , but the beer cheese didn't have quite the right taste for my palette. but nonetheless I believe the service was great. But I think there's for improvement with the flavoring of some of the items on the menu, and maybe an update or remodel to some of the rooms and layout of the restaurant. The Cleanliness could be improved slightly, But overall a great small town restaurant with good portions of food, friendly service, and plenty of potential!!! read more

Was excited to visit the silo as we seen and heard good things. made an reservation thinking it was going to busy but it was not. the time we arrived was 4:10 pm in Illinois time, and since we are from Indiana it was 5pm and time to eat. The staff was great and helpful, and the food was pretty good we enjoyed it. the establishment must cater to the younger folks who like to party some. we were led to our table in the bar area and all we seen was high top tables which is fine but being 70 years old no way for us. There was a table in bar area but it looked dirty and real close to another so we asked to sit somewhere else, so they took us back to the front where they call the overflow seating area. I understand these ladies who own and run this place are working real hard and this is not to run any of them down. I never took any pictures of the place because that's just being wrong. If you to eat there, be prepared it's not a new building and its really dated, the carpet was black by stains . the tables were old and and looked like no one had wiped them down, the room was warm, and the flies were plentiful. looked at tv and it was the same, very the screen was smudged badly and looked like it had not been wiped down in a while. outside decor needed some attention as well. that was our party of fours option only. Hannah the owner reached out to me after I posted a comment on their Facebook page asking us to give it another try. Which I really appreciated but I don't need a free meal, so I declined but wish this small business owner all the best. I am sure just starting out there some things that will change but the place was not for us. very disappointed read more
