| Oaco Gringo | Springfield, IL | |
|
Taco Gringo has been a staple in town for many years. The food
quality is consistant it seems at all locations. If you want quick
Mexican food then stop in. The most popular item is their sancho,
although your stomach may talk-back to you the next day.

| Alamo | Springfield, IL | |
|
This new location downtown is an improvement that has been needed
for some time. The food is still great. The 'Taco Salad' is a good
lunch even if you are starving. Parking is the big problem here.
You may have to walk a block. If you work downtown and are walking
anyway you must try this place. Just 1/2 block north of the 'Old
Capitol Plaza' on 5th Street.

| Lincoln Taco | Springfield, IL | |
|
Reminds me of Taco Gringo. Same basic menu. Some friends say it
is
better. I don't see much of a difference myself. On Toronto Rd.
east
of I-55 down from Mowie's Cue.

| Spaghetti Shop | Springfield, IL | |
|
I picked up an order to take to work. I bought a sampler combo
with fetichini alfredo/lasagnia/ and a little spagetti which
included
a generous piece of italian bread. It was great. This was my first
time there and I must say that I was very satisfied. Will stop again
soon.

| Casey's Carry Out Pizza | Salem, MO | |
|
Stayed in Salem after a canoe trip and someone brought in three
different types of pizza. All were pretty good but seemed to like
the taco pizza the best. It was under $25 for three big pizzas

| Voss Truck Port Restaurant | Cuba, MO | |
|
Your average truckstop cuisine. This one is as good as any I've
been
to. Somewhat overpriced for fried food. Better than a Big Mac
for
about the same price.

| Huntergreen Inn & Pub | Raymond, IL | |
|
A good restaurant. Not a small town cafe. They have a surprisingly
good menu here. Steaks/shrimp and whole catfish. We have been
there many
times to have their pizza. I thought the entrees' were a little
pricey but prepared well with good presentation and service.
East of
the Ford dealer on the north side of the street.

| Angelo's Pizza Co | Taylorville, IL | |
|
A good family oriented restaurant. Typical Italian fare. Usually
just
get their pizza but the lasagna is a favorite for dinner. The
prices are fair and not too high. The service has always been
pretty good even when it is crowded. Just a block east of rt.29
on
the south side of the street.

| Baskin-Robbins | Taylorville, IL | |
|
If you like ice cream treats then this is your stop in T'ville.
Not much else to say. The person that waited on me was friendly.
There are a couple of soft freeze places in town but you get the
real deal here.

| Mick & Mary's | Thayer, IL | |
|
This place is forever changing owners. The food is always quite
good here. Family style dining with large helpings. Full bar
for
when you get thirsty. They also offer private rooms w/hot tubs
for
overnight stays. You can have dinner served in you room along
with
bar service also. You will need rsvns in advance for the rooms.
They ask for a deposit at rsvn time.

| Harry's New Town Restaurant | Steger, IL | |
|
Been there a few times. Food is OK. Didn't care much for their
potatoes. I use their carry out so I am unable to comment on their
service.

| Truckers Homestead | Pawnee, IL | |
|
This is a truckstop at the Pawnee/Auburn exit south of Springfield
on I-55. Has been a good latenight stop for the locals a long time.
They have a good breakfast except for their hashbrowns (YUK).
Serves
a buffet dinner that is quite popular. They specialize their
broasted
chicken which isn't too bad.

| County Line Lake Inn | Chandlerville, IL | |
|
Have been here a couple times when in that area. Dinner was quite
good w/family style setting. Their pork chops were nice and thick
served with potatoe and vegies. Service was good. Seems to have
a
good local following which says a lot about the place since it
sets
on the highway and not in any town. Worth a stop if you like home
style cooking. On highway 67 north of Chandlerville, IL.

| Fulgenzi's Family Restaurant | Athens, IL | |
|
Have eaten lunch here several times. They have good food that
is
HOT when it gets to the table. I love chili and cheeseburgers on
a cold winter afternoon and theirs are great. Large portions
will
fill you up and make you come back. Friendly waitresses and good
food. Ya can't beat that. Turn left at the T and just one block
down on the right. Parking is on the street so you may have to
look for a spot but it is worth it. No Alcohol.

| Jubelt's Bakery & Restaurant | Carlinville, IL | |
|
Have not eaten in the restaurant but thier pasteries are the best
you can find anywhere.
|
||
| Harold's Chicken Shack | Chicago Heights, IL | |
|
WOW!!The chicken is GREAT. First tried them in Chicago and was
surprized to find them here. THIS ISN'T A KFC. Their chicken wings
are huge. If you see one of their restaurants and you like chicken
you have to stop here even if you aren't hungry. You will be back
again. I promise!!

| Lonestar Steakhouse & Saloon | Decatur, IL | |
|
Typical theme bar/restaurant. Same as the other Lone Stars,
but I
love their ribs. Service was good when I was there last. I had a
good waitress that made sure everything was to my liking. Wish
I
could remember her name so you could ask for her. Standard fair
with an emphisis on thick stakes.

| Grub-N-Pub | Girard, IL | |
|
This place pulls in the people. Seems like THE place to have dinner
in this small town. Good food and service. Much like what you might
expect people come from miles around to eat here. Located on the
north side of the square.

| Kampsville Landing | Kampsville, IL | |
|
I have not been here for about a year but will stop again. The food
isn't too bad here and I have stopped several times. The service
is good considering how packed this place can get at dinner time.
They have a full service bar, views of the Illinois River and the
ferry that cross's here. This place has flooded many times since
it sets so close to the water but, they redo it and open back up
when the water goes down. A unique place to stop and have lunch.

| Mike's Pizza | New Berlin, IL | |
|
Digiorno makes a better pizza. A local watering hole with the
emphisis on Hole as in Hole in the Wall. Drive on past this place.
You'll be glad you did.
