Point	Cambridge, OH
A really friendly neighborhood bar. Primarily steaks on the menu. Well cooked, fast friendly service. Just a great place to go after work to relax, chat with friends, and have a really good steak.
Country Thyme Tea Room	Paxton, IL
This is a well established resturant, now in a new location. <br> First impressions may be misleading, given Country Thyme's location in a row of newer buildings, and the lack of tea room trinkets for sale when you enter. <br> ... more This is a well established resturant, now in a new location. <br> First impressions may be misleading, given Country Thyme's location in a row of newer buildings, and the lack of tea room trinkets for sale when you enter. <br> When the food begins to arrive you will understand that this is a resturant with its priorities firmly in hand. Excellent food served in a leisurely manner. And don't forgo the desserts. They are visual as well as culinary works of art. <br> Well worth a stop if you are in the area, but hours are 11 to 2 and reservations are strongly encouraged. less

The decor is nice, but not overwhelming, as the emphasis is on good, hearty food. Someone from the family is always on hand, at each site, so you get the kind of service, and contact you would expect in a family resturant. <br> The salad bar is attractive, but not overwhelming, the food is good, tastey, and each dish is individually prepared. Well worth a stop if you are in the area. less
Niemerg's Steak House	Effingham, IL
A really interesting place for a meal. The food is not bad for a buffet style meal. If you are not here early you may have a wait. Staff is fast, but down home friendly.

If you are not here early you may have a wait. Staff is fast, but down home friendly. One of the big attractions is that if you are here on the weekend, you will see one of the most interesting cross sections of middle america anywhere. A must try if you are ever in the area. less

The food has improved, the wait staff is very efficient. Servings were more than adequate, and the choices were varied enough to make things interesting. Our only suggestion is that if you are a non smoker you proceed with caution, as there is no seperation between the smoking and non smoking sections on the ground floor level. less
Mc Cormick's	Springfield, IL
This is a better than good lunch time deli. Spartan decor, with a touch of fast food service, but always clean and easy to get to. Soups are almost always good, sandwiches and salads are very good. The draw back is the crowd. It seems to be a hit ... more This is a better than good lunch time deli. Spartan decor, with a touch of fast food service, but always clean and easy to get to. Soups are almost always good, sandwiches and salads are very good. The draw back is the crowd. It seems to be a hit with a lot of folks from offices in the area, so try to get there before the 12-1 time block. less
Maldaners	Springfield, IL
This is one of the old time premier resturants in downtown Springfield. Nice 40's-50's decor. Good choices, especially at lunch.

Nice 40's-50's decor. Good choices, especially at lunch. Most of the staff are very plesant, but sometimes you will draw a frazzled dud. One of the things you need to get used to in this place is the noise level. The old open building, with a tin ceiling can become quite noisey, especially at the lunch hour. less

Nice decor, really personable management who greets you at the door and always remembers you when you come back. The menu tends toward the mom and pop side, but the food is always good. In summer the salads are a meal in themselves. less
Jibby's Bar & Grill	Sullivan, IL
This used to be the place to go after the Little Theater. Now that there are more choices in town it is less crowded.

Now that there are more choices in town it is less crowded. A good country bar atmosphere, friendly staff, the place where the locals go to have an early dinner before going out. Don't expect fine cusine here, but if you like a nice down home meal this is a good choice. less
Great Impasta	Champaign, IL
Nice funky decor, fairly easy to get to given the parking situation in downtown Champaign. The menu is quite varied and the food usually well above average. Drinks and wine tend to be a bit pricey.

The menu is quite varied and the food usually well above average. Drinks and wine tend to be a bit pricey. I have only been here in the early evening, when the staff were not too busy, so the service was good. less
