The Dairy Bar is the reward we offer the kids for a job well done…read more We pass through Altamont on our way home from Lake Sara and stop from time to time, especially if we've worked hard on our fixer-upper lakehouse. We always get chocolate shakes---thick, rich, chocolate yumminess. I'm sure they're a caloric nightmare, so I just block those thoughts out. The "food" part of the menu looks to be heavy on the fried-side, with some salads, pizzas, etc. Keep thinking about the Walleye platter, though..maybe some day.

Been coming to the Dairy Bar since I was old enough to walk there from home and have always loved…read moreit. The cole slaw has always been amazing, and I love the chocolate chip cookie dough flurries and the chocolate milkshakes. I also enjoy just a regular hamburger. Mmmmm.....my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Next time I'm in Altamont, I'll be back!

Wow!! This place is amazing! If you like eating out at upscale restaurants, Modern Family Dinners…read morecan supply you with the same types of gourmet food right in your own home! I've copy cated food from nice restaurants, but by the time I buy all the ingredients, I've spent much more and have a bunch of extra ingredients that I won't use again!! I buy the meals for two and usually have left overs or our granddaughter helps us finish it! Lol! Deserts are awesome also!! I order online and then pick up on Saturdays. If I forget it on Saturdays I can pick it up on Mondays also. Very clean pick up location in Effingham! Would definitely recommend this business!

If she ever would have treated anyone disrespectfully, I would have stopped working with her as that would have affected my own professional reputation. Ali has built her life around photography and takes pride in her work. She took our family photos a year ago and they were the best we've ever had done. She made my teenagers laugh and that's a feat! I HIGHLY recommend Alicia Schuette Photography for any photo needs you have.

I feel like the best compliment I can give is that the rooms really are as nice as they look…read moreonline. Beds were incredibly comfortable and we loved the sheets! There is a little coffee nook on the 2nd floor with a Keurig and coffee pods. They are VERY clear on the website that you must be able to navigate a flight of stairs for 300 numbered rooms. However, the best way to navigate to the 200 rooms is also up a very steep staircase. It's a historic building so I get it, and they have tried to provide some accessibility with a lift on the outside of the building, but if accessibility is a key concern you may want to stay elsewhere.

Rooms are nice sized, with a nostalgic feel, comfortable bed, and very clean. However had some…read moredisappointing issues. This is not a Bed and Breakfast, no breakfast voucher either - so forget anything you read otherwise - I complained about the sign that was even in the window as you walked in stating Bed and Breakfast, which they did remove the next day. Speaking of walking in - I had to push the automatic door to the lobby open (they did fix that the next day) only to find a kiosk virtual front desk (from a different town/state who knows where, that had to call about everything that required attention). After we had drove a few hours, we did get a text to warn us that the elevator was broken (so check on that before you go, because it was still broke when we left). I had booked a room specific to 2nd floor, as my wife has some trouble with stairs after hip surgery (none on first floor, and 3rd floor only has stair access). After the steep climb with luggage (We heard some poor soul struggling to get luggage up the stairs and thought he was going to have a heart attack, but he made it before I was able to get out to help). We got settled in, but before the day was over... the TV quit working. Mr. kiosk suggested the typical things (reboot etc...) that I had already tried and had to show him a picture of the screen that showed it had no connection. He said they would have someone fix the next day after treating me like I did not know anything (I worked in IT over 40 years, I can tell when a Roku cannot connect to a network). Next day, after being out all day, came in to relax - no TV still, Mr. Kiosk said we could move to another room... OK we pack up and move to a new room, and it is super cold, go to Mr. Kiosk again because we could not find a thermostat, his solution ... we move to another room that has a thermostat we can adjust on the third floor - no - we are tired we don't want to lug up another flight of stairs, we will just get out another blanket. We did get a call at that point, and I was told the thermostat is currently in another room for the whole floor, but I can go and adjust (got there and it was set to 66), so we finally was able to settle in and watch TV for the night. (They are planning on making changes to have individual controlled, but something you might want to consider). The last day was better, but not sure we will be back even though we did like the room itself. Definitely, buyer beware - ask before booking.
