I had 1/2 lb. Patty melt ordered with no onions and of course it came with onions the french fries the thin cut french fries or just awful the patty melt was dry and very untasteful but the bush light was very good I had another one to try and wash down the patty melt which I could really eat a quarter of because of that onions on it yuck read more

Great fried chicken! I filled up on their salad bar and the breast, thigh & most of my steak fries came home with me. The double baked potato soup was tempting, but I restrained myself. They had some great Sunday Specials. I had just had a Prime Rib sandwich this week and had contemplated the wings, but wanted to indulge with a half bird. Friendly service by Juan and the joint really started filling up for a good lunch crowd on a Sunday. They should really give you bottled water, well water is nasty here. Iced Tea tasted okay, probably made with the well water though. Bummed they won't share WiFi, (slows down their system?) as there's no Tmobile service around here. I couldn't get a data signal to get my best route home, we sure grow dependant on our devices. read more

See all

They are known for their fried chicken. 1/2 dark for $7.95 with a salad bar and believe me, you won't be able to finish it. This is a very off the beaten path locals place just north of Ottawa. It should be noted, they almost require reservations between 5pm and 7pm as it's all locals who are there either having dinner or sitting at the bar drinking. This is my 2nd time here and you do come away feeling it's worth the drive and price. Staff was very attentive (I personally loved our server who was wearing shorts and cowboy boots) made sure water was filled, dirty plates removed from table and asking how things are. The menu is solid comfort food. One for those loving cheap beer, $1 drafts for Miler Lite. read more

Wedron Office - Wedron office. Reservations strongly suggested. - American Near Me - Ottawa, Illinois

Went here tonight with my family. A dumpy looking place, but has character. Kind of an older crowd or townie drinkers. I ordered water with lemon and the water tasted like if a match were lit near by, it would set on fire... Yikes. Ordered an iced tea instead and it tasted fine. I ordered the chicken Parmesan and salad bar. Salad bar was fantastic! Every thing looked fresh. There's a house dressing that I really enjoyed. Salad bar comes with a soup of the day which I didn't try, but looked ok. I think it was cream of asparagus. The chicken parm came and it tasted great. I found a few bay leaves in the sauce which tells me it is made in house which is always a plus. Chicken was tender and the breading was delicious. Enjoyed my meal overall! Service was a bit slow, but I would definitely return. read more

Wedron Office - Chicken parm with tortellini - American Near Me - Ottawa, Illinois

Great service, salad bar is AMAZING and filling! Great portions for the money, reasonable prices

We went back to the Wedron Office last night and without a doubt 5/5 stars!! We didn't make a reservation, so ended up sitting at the bar. The bartender was fantastic, super nice and had a great sense of humor. The other patrons were also so nice, which made our time there even better. Will definitely continue going back! read more

Wedron Office - Giant Pretzel with beer cheese, so so delicious!!! - American Near Me - Ottawa, Illinois

Party of 6 plus an infant. Very small place with limited walk areas. Food was just ok. The broiled cod was over cooked. The prime rib had a huge fatty tail. The rib eye was also very fatty. Salad bar although small had a good selection including fresh fruit Our waiter was a hoot. He was actually the highlight of our meal read more

Do not get the beef ribs they are terrible with a thick membrane they are barely edible disgusting in my opinion would have been nice to know that they do not serve pork ribs the chicken is good the pretzel is outstanding the service is great the Carry out out is decent read more

The food and the service were both excellent. Our waitress Shelby was very personal it was our first there but definitely won't be our last. We made reservations but since we came at an off time it wasn't necessary. They do have the salad bar open but we declined because of Covid. Inside is small but we ate on the patio. Seems they do a big pick up business too We were also able to purchase sweet corn. read more

The food was delicious, especially the chicken. It was hot and fresh. There was a nice selection at the salad bar as well which included some tasty chicken noodle soup. However, I think I was most appreciative of the great service. Our waiter was both personable and attentive. If I ever return to the area, I'm definitely making a return trip to this hidden jewel. read more

i moved north of ottawa in Sept 2005. I road by this place on my Harley about 100 times then I heard someone talking about the food there. If you like Great homestyle cooking you will love this place. It isnt anything specail on the inside but a bar and cheat tables and chairs, but the food is great. The only complaint i have is they need to use salt and pepper when they cook and fry thier chicken and fish. The portions are excellent. Food is Yummy. Small salad bar packed with lots of good stuff. Traditional salad, assorted pasta, vegie, potato, salads to choice from. And as the previous poster said, the soup is good as gold. If you love country places to eat. This is a sure thing, And as wierd as it sounds.... reservations can be helpful here too. read more

From the outside The Wedron Office resembles a bar you might see on the dukes of hazard, the inside still has that look and feel to it as well. During the day the menu is your standard bar menu nothing special. If you find your self here in the evening I strongly suggest looking into the dinner specials, people come from far to have dinner out here and for good reason. A rustic country feel, with a friendly staff and a low cost sit down meal that is hard to beat. read more

This is a classic example of you can't judge a book by its cover. On the outside, Wedron Office doesn't look like much, however, if you enjoy great food at a great price, this is the place to go. Get there early to avoid the dinner crowd because the place is small and they have early bird specials for off peak hours. The salad bar is great and loaded with a variety of choices for those who don't want just a lettuce salad. It also includes soup and bread. This was enough of a meal in itself but for 50 cents more I got 4 pieces of fried chicken and fries. They had other choices for the potato side. The night I was there they had pudding shots for $1. A pudding shot didn't sound too good to me, but I changed my mind after trying one. Yum! I would suggest avoiding the water like another reviewer said. read more

Whether it's a Saturday night out or your daughter's wedding--The Wedron Office provides the best food, best service, most resourceful catering ever! I'm from the local area, and I've enjoyed The Wedron Office food for years, but recently this restaurant surpassed all my expectations, and for a very reasonable price. My husband and I had investigated caterers for our daughter's wedding in our back yard. We chose right when we picked The Wedron Office. From back yard grilling to back-up generators, to hor d'ouvres, to bistro tables, to their own garden-picked vegetables, they prepared the most deliciouos home-cooked food I've ever eaten at a wedding (or in anyone's kitchen). They solved our every food problem and so many other problems. With personal, down-home caring and common sense, they prepared and served 250 people from my little kitchen, without batting an eye. The quality of the steaks, chops, pastas, vegetables, and endless variety on their salad bar extravaganza will have my guests oohing and ahhing for a long time--so many compliments on our food! I love the Wedron Office staff--they were so skilled, friendly, and resourceful. It was a magical night for two reasons--Mother Nature blessed us with beautiful weather, and the Wedron Office with food beyond compare. read more

Excellent food in a bar atmosphere. I advise to call for reservations as they have limited seating. Daily specials. Thursday BBQ ribs, Saturday prime rib to name a few. Salad bar and homemade soups as well. Open for lunch too! read more

Great local place. Salad bar is so good that included chili bar. Fresh homemade food, drink specials and lots of tvs with your favorite team! Also had awesome service. Will be back! read more

Small place with amazing food!!! Recommended to try it at least once.!!!!!!had the ribs and quarter chicken last night and it was delicious also the homemade chicken noodle scoop was very good as well. Definitely will be back!!!! read more

This is a nice hole-in-the-wall restaurant. The salad bar is excellent! Very fresh and checked at least twice an hour for restocking. The reasons I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because the prices are a bit high and they charge you to use your credit/debit card. There is no charge for cash. Other than those small things, it's a nice weekday place to eat. read more

Best Steakhouse in Northern Illinois. Staff is always friendly, food is outstanding, I have never had a bad steak from this restaurant. The salad bar is great, soup is outstanding. It is hard to believe that this small little restaurant out in the middle of nowhere requires reservations on weekends, or you might be turned away at the door. Goes to show they have great food. read more

Been here 3 times now, never a disappointment. Had the shrimp scampi tonight. Big shrimp and very tasty. Fried cod was very good.

It's just a bar with meat. Not sure why people come here exclusively. Interior was very congested, water is tap crap, waiter made a speech and it still took 20 minutes for food. read more

I'd never been before but went with two people who have. I ordered the fish on a Friday, when it arrived I was informed by my friend that they have severely cut down in the portion of the fish. The fish was very soggy and chewy. No thank you. The saving grace was the salad bar, without that this review would not even be three stars. read more

I decided on supporting one of our favorites in the middle of no where. I have to admit the grilled shrimp was absolutely delicious! Steak baked potato also great! read more

Definitely a place where people notice you are a tourist. Seems kind of a dive until you see the food! Great stuff, a real hidden gem. BTW when we came in they asked if we had a reservation :)) I almost started laughing with the lady in front of me. Still not certain if it's an ongoing joke or they get very busy and we were lucky. Recommend this one for sure! read more

We absolutely love this place but their reservation system is awful. Made reservations and was just called and said there was a mistake made and there was no room. We could have later reservations but in the bar. Too old and too fat to climb up on the seats. This is like the 3rd time this has happened and the last time we were able to eat there they asked our party to hurry up and finish so they could seat more people. And the kicker was all the girl could telll me that hopefully it will work out better the next time we make reservations . Really unlikely since i doubt if we will try again. Too bad good place!!! read more

Nice bar/restaurant out in the country. Standard Bar food, but very good quality. Burgers were great; made with fresh beef (not frozen). French fries were cooked properly. Waitress was friendly and even did fly swatter detail so there were no flies. That is something I haven't seen in a while. Good place overall. read more

This is an amazing little place, it looks very humble from the road. The food is great, service is friendly. You'd better have reservations on weekends- it's a local treasure read more

They do not cheat you here at The Office. Juicy flavorful rib eyes and a fresh, delicious salad bar is what we usually go for. Come as you are, good for you if you own some camo and/or a mesh trucker hat, but it's ok to show up in business casual, too. After all, it is The Office. read more

My mom and I visited on a Monday - Taco night. Although small, the place is newly remodeled, clean and servers are friendly. Then, the tacos - awesome! Very reasonable, very good food. I liked it so much I went back with friends and one was blown away by the special that day - soft shell crab! She thought the sandwich was great and everyone else enjoyed their meal as well. I will be a regular at The Office. read more

Friendly wait staff. Food is outstanding. I've had Lobster on a Friday night. New York Strip, Broiled Shrimp on a Saturday. The salad bar is excellent with a great selection. For a small local place I couldn't be happier. Just one piece of advice, call for reservations on a weekend the place gets PACKED FULL. read more

Where is the 6 Star! Fresh Food! Nice people! Chicken to die for. Salad bar to bust the belly with old school salads. All meat is fresh not frozen. No I don't work here! Just a biker who fell upon this gem in the corn! read more

Good food had a black n blue steak. salad bar was fresh and good. Went there with just me and my 16 month old asked if I had reservations I said no they were only two thirds full decided they would seat me by time I left they were only a third full. I think I would have felt more comfortable sitting at my ex wife's kitchen table eating. The waitress was about the most unpleasant I've ever had. kind of felt like I was a nuisance to them it has to be one of the worst eating experiences I ever had. Prefer if I pay 25 for a baby and I to eat to at least feel like they want you there. I couldn't Leave fast enough read more

We went with a large group, service was fast,great and very accomadating. Salad bar has large variety, small area. read more

This place has awesome jumbo pork tenderloins! Everything was served fast and fresh! Nice salad bar with pea salad...one of my favorites! Nice atmosphere and friendly staff! At 65 miles from our house, it's not a place we'll get to often, but we will be back! It's literally the middle of no where, but if it's s pretty day and you roll a bike or a convertible, make the trip! read more

Once again good food good times this place doesn't dissapoint. Thank you Wedron Office

This is the best small hometown bar and restaurant around! The salad bar is amazing as is the food! The first and third fri of the month is lobster, they also do prime rib. The owners are the nicest people and the wait staff is very nice and professional! read more

The food is great. Friday night is the night we go to the Office. The fish fry is good but the Friday night specials are what we really love. Every other Friday they have lobster and occasionally Shark. The Blackened Shark is excellent!. We have been on other night like Saturday for the Prime Rib which is very good. I highly recommend the place. Great servers and the salad bar is always fresh. read more

The prime rib is great! Love the salad bar too. There is always soup too, so you have no reason to not leave full. It is a out of the way local place but worth the trip. Juan is the entertainment with the meal too. I just have never had a bad meal here. Make a reservation if you can. The wait the have sometime can be a bit much. read more

I called and made reservations a WEEK in advance. Our group of 4 got there and they said we don't have your reservation. After about a 15 minute discussion between 3 of them Juan approached us and said we can seat u at the bar table in 45 minutes or you can sit at that table but you have to be done in a half hour. I made it quite known how unhappy I was. I said really. I made a reservation. Do I now need to call and make sure your employees are doing their job? We left and went to Annie's Hideaway who were busier and fit us right in. Our meal was better and so was the service! read more

Went here a while back and really liked it. Decided to take some people here for dinner last night and being Labor Day I checked their fb page and google and both said they were open. Drove an hour to get there only to find a note on the door saying closed for Labor Day. Really? You take time to put your specials on fb and you take time to put a note on the door but don't change your hours on fb or google? Not cool. read more
