Really excellent meatballs, loved the lingonberry vinaigrette dressing as well. The Christmas Tea is awesome! It is very popular so leave yourself plenty of time. Everyone is very nice.

Cabbage roll with fresh side salad, warm roll and lingonberry iced tea–perfect! Super fast and friendly staff, warm atmosphere. Recommend!

My sister and I traveled over 4,400 miles to enjoy P.L. Johnson’s Swedish meatballs. As a born and bred Swede, I can confirm that this place serves the real deal. It’s delicious! The complimentary rye bread (I think it’s rye, anyway) reminds me of something my grandma used to make. I only wish I had asked for the recipe. If you’re in Bishops Hill, you definitely need to stop by. And the service? Excellent.

This is a wonderful restaurant with home cooked food and deserts. The atmosphere is very relaxing, cozy and well decorated. The staff is very friendly. This is my favorite place for a special getaway lunch. I love the special Swedish dishes and be sure to enjoy the lingonberry lemonade!

We arrived here during a down pour and the proprietor graciously helped us in with is big umbrella. The menu that evening was small, but the food was excellent and satisfying. We had the cabbage rolls and the Swedish meatballs. We treated ourselves to dessert and tried the three berry pie and the bread pudding. Both were also wonderful, but the bread pudding was fantastic.

The food is delicious. Wait staff are very helpful and attentive. We love the Swedish meatballs and the homemade pie. The Swedish sampler plate is also very delicious. We highly recommend this restaurant. We make the drive from the suburbs of Chicago to enjoy the food.

This is a very quaint restaurant that embodies the Swedish heritage of the village. The menu and the hours are somewhat limited but the food on offer is delightful. I got the Swedish meatballs and a slice of peach berry pie. Everything was very tasty. The service was great, too.

Eat somewhere else if you’re hungry or if you like good value for your meal. Glad it was just my wife and me, and not the 5 kids too! The food tasted good but the prices were ridiculous. I paid $13 for a cabbage roll that could be eaten in two bites; even $3 would have been expensive. Also got the Swedish meatballs. For $13 I expected at least a dinner-plate, but instead it came in a tiny bowl. It felt like we had eaten at one of those haute-cuisine restaurants where the portion is barely enough to feed an elf. Both my wife and I left hungry, and she’s almost always takes home a doggy bag.

Cute little store/restaurant. We went on a weekend. Not busy so seated quickly. Service was fast and efficient. Food was delicious! I highly recommend the meatballs! Oh and get the lindenberry sauce. Yum! I would compare these to the ikea meatballs. So good!! And way closer to me then Chicago. Manageable portion. Soda came in a can. But on a cold day they have tea, coffee and coco. Enjoyed being in this historical building to eat. Will visit again next time I’m in Bishop Hill.
