Food scene
This is our favorite local hangout place. The chicken nachos are my favorite and the Cobb salad with warm bacon vinaigrette is awesome. All their food is really good. They have expanded so I’m not sure if they still have outside dining but they have lots of TVs for sports and a nice fireplace to enjoy in the winter. It can get pretty loud during U of I games or other popular sporting events.

This is a great BBQ place. We don’t get there too often because it’s usually a bit of a wait but it is worth it.
