Larry's Pit BBQ	Christopher, IL
Larry's isnt a five star BBQ restaurant by any means but it's a good place, especially around here. I enjoy eating there when I have the money.

As the previous review said, the atmosphere is great and the setting is very beautiful. It is in the middle of Winter Park, a ski resort town in the Rockies. I was very impressed when I went there and I am looking foward to going back. By the way, make sure you buy a few bottles of their BBQ sauce, it is worth it. less

The food, the scenery, the service, the surroundings, the history of the lodge as mentioned, it is all excellent and this place is worth a trip down. I live about 50 miles away and I drive down here whenever I get the chance. Make sure you get the all you can eat dinner. They bring out fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, green beans, rolls until you can't eat no more. It is especially a great place to take a date for his or her birthday, a place to take your mom on Mother's Day, or something like that but if you do go on a holiday, make sure you get a reservation a few weeks before you plan to go down there. I have never heard a bad thing about that place. less

It is good home cookin' and the service is really good. Everything they serve is huge. They have huge omlets that cover your plate, very good buscuits and gravy, and their chicken fried steak is also very good. Whatever you get there, two things are for sure. It will be in large servings and it will be good. It has a great family environment to it. The only thing about it though is that it is always crowded but if you cook good food, the people find it. If you ever coming through Liberty on I-35 and you want something good and not fast food for a change, this is the perfect place to stop. less
Rosebud Cafe	Pana, IL
It is nothing very special but when your on the road and want to stop at a truck stop, this is a great place.

If you are going through on Friday night, they have a special Walleye night that is real good. Another thing that stands out in my mind I like at the Rose Bud are the cheese fries. It isn't a restaurant that most people would put on their hot list but If you want to sit down, have a cup of coffee and a good meal, this is not a bad place at all. less
Iowa 80 Truckstop	Walcott, IA
Every time I'm in Iowa, this is always my favorite part of Iowa. The fried chicken (my favorite food I'm usually picky about) is very good, the rest of the buffet is good.

The fried chicken (my favorite food I'm usually picky about) is very good, the rest of the buffet is good. It is a truck stop but not your typical hole-in-the-wall grease spoon. It has a bit of a truck stop environment but also somewhat of a family restaurant, a very unusual mix that this place pulls off very well. The service is friendly and it is affordable. The buffet cost about $7 or $8. The rest of the truck stop is really neat too. less
20's Hideout Steakhouse	Marion, IL
For steak lovers like me, it isnt like when Dad cooks on the grill but it is still a great place to eat. My favorite menu item was an 18 oz porterhouse steak.

My favorite menu item was an 18 oz porterhouse steak. That plus the baked potato, your drink, and an Oreo milkshake (which is very good) will cost you over all about $20-$25. But that is one of the most expensive items on the menu. It could be a family restaurant but I think it is a great place to take a date for something that is somewhat low price but is nice. less
Mike's Drive-In	West Frankfort, IL
All of those things are good about this place but I think everyone is forgetting perhaps one of the best things here...the A&W root beer in the frosted mug.

Don't get me wrong, the food is good but when I come there, it is because of the root beer. There are not a lot of places around here that serves root beer in a frosted mug like that. The prices are reasonable and I love the environment of it. It is like the old fashioned restaurants where they serve you in your car. It is a good place to stop and my favorite place in West Frankfort. less
