My favorite eatery in the area. Fantastic service and delicious food. I’ve never before had such perfect tater tots. I’m not sure which magician is running the fryer, but they make the best most crispiest delicious appetizers I’ve EVER had.

Located near the scenic Illinois river. Peaceful area where you can watch the boats or congregating Geese. My friends and I opted to sit outside on the balcony as it was a nice sunny day with a slight breeze. Everybody liked their choice of food and the staff that served us were accommodating ,friendly and most helpful. We plan to have our next lunch meeting there as we were very impressed & pleased. Ned aims to please his customers and makes your feeling satisfied & a great experience !!!

Nice little hidden gem on the river. I came here during the boating off season and had one of their smash burgers and ot was awesome! I had the special of the month which was called the Fire Cracker. It had cream cheese, slices of jalapeños, and flaming hot cheetos. It was awesome! The Hangover Smach and Mad Apple Smash looked really great as well which I plan on trying.

Decided to go on an adventure and try a new place. We went with a ribeye steak sandwich and tots and a smash burger and fries. Both were very good, nothing left on our plates. We got a table with a view of the river and there were a few TVs on the wall to watch as well. The maps took us an odd route to get here, but we found an easier way to get back. The weekend menu looks very good so I’m looking forward to trying it out sometime.
