Now, where I am from, fried chicken is sacred. They seem to use a wet batter (like the one long john silvers uses) a common batter used for fish, used for chicken. There is generally nothing wrong with this, but if you do not season your chicken or your batter you are in deep fry (water). When we were there I literally saw them opening up CANS of "chicken gravy" and taking frozen fries from the freezer. The sauce is too sweet for me and has an interesting dulce de leche consistency. So you have bland chicken breast, sugar sauce, and frozen or canned food you have BBY.

The salad bar has some different things, as well, like pickled herring. I ordered the massive fried pork tenderloin and a side of onion rings, some of the best I've had anywhere, and I've probably had them in 30+ countries. The tenderloin had a light batter crust, crispy but fried just lightly enough that the pork retained it's juicyness. They have a number of fish offerings, I hope to return to try some of those.

The server was fantastic our server Nikki could not have been better. The Salad bar was included with all the lunches and it was outstanding. The lettuce was fresh and crisp and everything else on the salad bar was really good. The meal came with complimentary bread service served warm with olive oil and butter. The pizza was really good, the pasta was fresh and very cheesy, the sandwich and fries were not as good they just seemed ordinary. The pecan pie was a let down the crust was hard and the pecans tasted burnt so I would say avoid it. The restaurant was nicely appointed but in the restroom was a not very well taken care of, the toilet paper holder was broken and just hanging there and it was out of soap which being there as they opened i would think it would be full.

We were shown a table away from the door as it was really cold that day, so the staff were quite considerate. There was also a sushi bar area. We opted for ordering from the menu which comes with appetizers. When inquired about gluten free options, the staff explained clearly what could be gluten free. When the food arrived, we were quite impressed that they do take allergen seriously. The put a gluten free indicator on the dish to make sure it was clearly marked. In term of the taste, they were delicious. I particularly like the soup, it was flavorful, and definitely good for a cold day! The portion of all the dishes were plentiful that we brought home some left over. Check out Somkit if you find yourself in Dixon.
