One of our favorite spots for the past 15 years. We watched the Super Bowl here, and the atmosphere was fantastic for families and gatherings. What an intense game! We plan to watch next week’s Daytona 500 here too. Curt, Cindy, and their daughters and grandchildren truly create a wonderful family experience!

Small bar in Earlville, IL. I am guessing that the locals dont come here for food on the weekdays. Came in at 6:00 pm on a Wednesday and we were the only people eating... everyone else was drinking at the bar. The lights over the tables were even off when we first arrived. It seems like no one eats there. We ordered and didnt get the food for nearly 45 minutes . We later found out that the grill was not turned on and it had to heat up before they could cook the food. Overall, it seems like a bar for drinking not eating.The other thing that I didnt like was the other people at the bar. The place seems to draw a rough crowd. Every other word was the f word or the n word. Not a place where you would take your parents.
