Stopped in after a day of hiking Starved Rock and it was a perfect nearby option. Great downtown area location. Friendly staff and great drink pours and food. Excellent service and prices… just what we wanted after a good hike. Highly recommended!

Quick stop here for a late-lunch after hiking at Starved Rock State Park. Found it on Google Maps after a search for local soups. We were greeted happily when we arrived and seated immediately in their restaurant section away from the bar. Our server recommended the Chicken and Dumpling soup and it was fantastic! Great dining and service experience here. You won’t be disappointed. Enjoy!
Tip: A walk thru downtown Utica is pleasant after your meal. It’s a nice little downtown area. Very quaint.

Great basic breakfast. I had the cheese and veggie omelet, and my husband had the all meat omelet. Also, we got the hashbrowns and French toast to share. Huge portions. Affordable. Solid.

Stopped in for a beer while on a tiny pub crawl. Beer was cold. Clare was nice and friendly. The bar decor was nice

We are here a few days ago with our party of 6. Our server was great. They even find cash near our table on the floor, and checked with us to see if it was ours…it was! Honest, hard-working people with good food.

Waited 20 minutes for someone to take our order, then an extra 25 minutes for our food. All we ordered were two hotdogs with cheese on one and onions on the other. Cheese wasnt even melted, and the hotdogs were almost cold, tasted like they had been sitting under a fan for 10 mins. Then we had to wait 10 for the check, and waited a whole other 10 minutes for someone to take payment for the meal.
Never going back. Would not recommend for someone looking for food in Utica IL.

Atmosphere is great, service is fantastic. My wife and I both got the fried cod and fries with some drinks. We started off eating inside and they allowed us to finish outside with our drinks. My cod was slightly overcooked to being a little chewy on one side. I tried my wifes and hers was perfect. I knocked off one star for that but I would definitely come back. Solid 4.5 overall

Just a basic home cooked Midwestern diner meal, and inexpensive, too. Definitely would choose this over any fast-food restaurant… except In-n-Out burgers, duh. Service was great!

Western omlette was delicious, price was outstanding, and the service was one of a kind. We loved our waitress this past Saturday morning. We drank our coffees, only to be filled within next couple of minutes, multiple times. Waitress provided excellent service by anticipating needs, being responsive, and ensuring a positive dining experience. Will be back to support his great local business.

Stopped at Joy and Ed’s after a hike at nearby Starved Rock. Pretty good mushroom burger on a brioche bun. Burger was cooked a little more well done than I like, but I didn’t specify how I wanted it, so my bad. Creamy coleslaw was yummy. Fries were standard. They have other options like bar chips or sweet potatoe fries.
