Great food, great drinks, wonderful service, nice atmosphere. On Monday nights, they have a chicken wing and a pizza special. There are multiple different sauces that you can choose from for the chicken wings. They have a lovely salad bar. Their tenderloin sandwiches have a bun as big as the tenderloin. Their Reuben sandwiches are really good. The appetizers come in half sizes or whole sizes so you can sample several. The bartender on Monday night is Nicole and she is fabulous. She makes the most delicious Cosmo. Very relaxing atmosphere. Delicious food. Impeccable service. I would highly recommend this place!

Stumbled upon this place during while working in Marseilles, IL and I’m glad I did! I ordered the fried catfish with coleslaw and wings. The fish was fried to perfection; it was lightly battered but very well seasoned and super fresh. The coleslaw was perfect (I love coleslaw and not may places get it right) I loved that there were more than several wing sauce options. I initially tried the Thai chilli sauce then the next day buffalo sauce. The wings were really good. I’m a “please don’t forget the condiments” type of person and they did not forget the condiments! The bar was definitely a vibe and the services was great. While waiting, about 4 different staff checked on me and were just super attentive. This is only my second time in a year working in this area but I’d def go back to Illini.

Coming here for some of the specials is some of the best value you can find in the area. I like to go on Thursday for the ribeye and salad bar special. It’s more cost-effective than actually cooking it yourself and it turns out pretty good. Depending on how many people are in there, the service may be lacking as it looks like they only have maybe one or two people serving and then a bunch of other people supporting the kitchen. If you get a special with the salad bar, it’s not a big deal, but if you’re ordering straight off the menu and it’s busy, make sure you make time for it.

The owner, Dawn, made sure she greeted us a we walked in. That in itself was impressive. Then there’s the 27 beers on tap, not just macros… but at least 15 craft beer choices. Very clean, updated, and great choice of food items on the menu. Looking forward to coming back tonight for dinner and checking out the fried chicken

I love to eat their liver n onions once a week when I can. That meal includes a wonderful salad and choice of soup. They have the best homemade carrot cake for dessert. A lot of times I ask to take a slice of that carrot cake to take home so I can savor the moment.

The owners of this establishment are incredibly kind and have handpicked the most exceptional staff with the best customer service. The food and salad bar are fantastic, and one of the best drinks in town or nearby is their Bloody Mary! I’ve tried many places just for this, and they have the best one!
