Go for the food, stay for the views — you’ll be hooked!
Whether it’s a sunny summer afternoon or a cozy winter evening, The 252 is always making waves along the river. Under new leadership, this hometown gem has reeled in a menu that’ll knock your dock shoes off! It’s not your average bar food — it’s fresh, flavorful, and perfectly paired with those unbeatable riverside vibes.
And let’s talk about that boozy coffee… it’s shore to perk you up and keep the good times flowing! ☕
From the kitchen crew to the leadership team (and everyone in between), The 252 is a current favorite — where great food, great people, and great views all come together.
Feeling “Nauti” grab some friends, pick your favorite shot and “ride the shotski”
If you haven’t dropped anchor here lately, it’s time to float on over (drive in the winter it’s cold) — because The 252 is rising with the tide!

Atmosphere was good but the food was low quality drinks were small and week. Bathroom is very small. I will try again in a while and see if things has picked up. There is alot of room for improvement.

Located near the scenic Illinois river. Peaceful area where you can watch the boats or congregating Geese. My friends and I opted to sit outside on the balcony as it was a nice sunny day with a slight breeze. Everybody liked their choice of food and the staff that served us were accommodating ,friendly and most helpful. We plan to have our next lunch meeting there as we were very impressed & pleased. Ned aims to please his customers and makes your feeling satisfied & a great experience !!!

The 252 in Seneca is such a great spot. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, the staff is super friendly, and the drinks are always solid. Easily one of the best places to hang out on the river.

Nicole, Amy, Joey, Leo, Ross and everyone else made me feel like family. Even better, like a guest in their home. Definitely stop here on your way to anywhere. Spring Brook Marina and the 253 was an optimal experience on my journey. Thank You for a great time!

Decided to go on an adventure and try a new place. We went with a ribeye steak sandwich and tots and a smash burger and fries. Both were very good, nothing left on our plates. We got a table with a view of the river and there were a few TVs on the wall to watch as well. The maps took us an odd route to get here, but we found an easier way to get back. The weekend menu looks very good so I’m looking forward to trying it out sometime.

Nice little hidden gem on the river. I came here during the boating off season and had one of their smash burgers and ot was awesome! I had the special of the month which was called the Fire Cracker. It had cream cheese, slices of jalapeños, and flaming hot cheetos. It was awesome! The Hangover Smach and Mad Apple Smash looked really great as well which I plan on trying.
Prices and service was great. No idea what the place is like in the summer with boats and a bigger crowd but I’ll check it out and hopefully the service is still the same.
