The contaminated lettuce

We waited 25 minutes to only get the wrong order then when I bring it to there attention they don't remake it rather the cashier uses her bare hands to bag condiments of a burger mind you after I watched her serve multiple other customer I have some serious health concerns about the food safety . No one should be touching food without clean or gloved hands shits gross. Peep the contaminated lettuce

Catfish basket

Either grease was set to high or fish was in to long, the fish inside was not bad but was slightly over cooked (leading to the shrinkage in between the batter and fish) but this batter left a lot to be desired. The batter should be crunchy but not to the point it sends shrapnel everywhere with every bite, also I would recommend taking a little time to prep the filets better by cleaning the dark meat off the fillets more, had a mucky taste to it vindictive of darker meat. Will try again in a few months and update if I have a better experience. It should be noted this is not a fish place and there pulled pork is 5 star worth in my book, but if it's on your menu you should be delivering above 3 starts or consider removing it from said menu

We do love going here as often as possible, either for an ice cream treat (even in winter!) or a quick bite

I can say in my humble opinion that Shiver's is the better custard. Living nearby, I have finally learned that you don't have to be a kid to order the kiddie size. By ordering the kiddie, I can save calories and perhaps be able to stop by twice during the week instead of limiting myself to one treat. I think Kiddie Size can also be called a, Senior Size. As we age, our appetites are like they use to be. Last night I couldn't pass by when I saw the FOTD (Flavor of the Day) was, Gooey Pecan Pie. I'm really not a Gooey person, but Pecan Pie is my favorite pie, so I couldn't resist. I ordered a Kiddie Concrete. It was rich in flavor and had large pieces of Pecan. I even had full sized pecans in my cup covered in the Gooey sauce. It was the perfect sweet treat to end the day. As a reminder, Shivers is also a coffee shop in the early mornings. So you can also get your caffeine fix, too. I also gotta tell you that they're dog friendly and offer free Pup Cups. Dog must be present to receive the Pup Cup. No To-Go orders for the pups.

I was in Greenville, IL and happened to drive by the Milk House. I was SO excited! The Milk House is huge! It has a large case filled with milk and creamer. They also have flavors of milk like chocolate and orange. I stocked up on milk and creamer and also got ice cream while there. They have many flavors and it was great! There were several tables to sit and enjoy the ice cream. And it looked like maybe they had an event space as well. There were other items for sale as well like merchandise, cheese and other small items. If you are in the area stop in for some ice cream and take home some of the best milk and half and half.

We had met friends for lunch in Effingham and saved this spot on the way home for dessert. The space is massive and towards the back in the ice cream counter. There are a few small tables to enjoy your treats. The young person working the counter was incredibly helpful and friendly. The ice cream selection is generous with something for everyone. The portions are quite generous, the flavors are rich creamy and well made. We grabbed three cones with single scoops and was pleasantly satisfied with the ice cream. We still had about an hour or so drive so I did not purchase any other products to take home v

It was a blend of vanilla custard, fresh strawberries and hard-shell chocolate. It looked so delicious in the clear plastic cup, all three of the ingredients were swirled together. I would have taken a picture to capture the beauty, but with the high temperatures I just started to devour my sweet treat. I was sitting on their spacious patio, so it was melting fast and I was trying to eat it as quickly as it was melting. I would have preferred to been able to slowly eat it and truly enjoy the rich flavor of the custard and strawberries. However, sipping on the melted custard with the chunks of chocolate, did make for a nice treat, too. I'm coming back to try some of the food. The inside dining room was filled with senior citizen couples enjoying lunch. If it's good enough for them, I am confident I'll enjoy it, too. The young staff working the service window were friendly and very professional. They've been trained well, in providing quality customer service.

Instead, it was a very enjoyable breakfast. I ordered, The Livy which was, one egg, choice of protein, hash browns and toast. I choose bacon as my protein. Their menu proudly promotes that the bacon and sausage is from local farmers. Trust me when I tell you, the bacon was very delectable. It could have been crisper, but the flavor made up for the lack of crispiness. I choose not to take the toast with my breakfast entree, because I also ordered a half size of Biscuits and Gravy. The biscuit was not made it house, its shape was too perfect. However, the gravy with chunks of locally sourced sausage made it a true comfort dish. The gravy was a semi-thick milk gravy and it wasn't overly seasoned with salt and had the right amount of pepper. Trying to watch my sodium intake, I like it when chefs are light handed when shaking the salt into a recipe. The atmosphere is like stepping back into the 50's. You truly will feel as if you left the sock hop and stopped by the local soda shop for a bite. I'll give you a heads up, the outside is junky with a lot of weird stuff. Ignore the decor on the outside and head straight into the diner for a good home cooked meal. The service was impressive. One waitress was taking care of the entire small dining room. I over heard her tell another table, that she was relatively new. Being new, she did a great job. She was attentive and very personable. Her service alone would get me to come back.
