Grainery: Reviews & Ratings
For a small town west of Springfield I'll it's gem. Very good food with a varied menu.
Great food for a small town restaurant! I was surprised at the diversity of the menu. The place was clean and service was great. Everyone enjoyed their food and it was fairly priced.
Good place to eat on our way to Lincoln's New Salem site. Was surprised how tasty the meal was. Friendly staff, too. Great find in a small town!
This place is a great find! I had the Italian beef and it was phenomenal. It was so big I had to eat half then save the other for later. The fries were ok, but next time I'm going to try the sweet potato fries or onion breaded green beans instead. The employees are always friendly and answer whatever questions you have. They do have fried fish, but I think it's only on Fridays (I could be wrong though). Bottom line...it's reasonably priced and was a nice small town surprise.
Excellent service! Food served in timely fashion. Generous portions and tasty. Cajen pony was a treat!
Stopped in with my sons whole baseball team. We had at least 30 people in our group. They were quick with our drinks and refills! Appetizers came out fast. We couldn't pass up the chance to get some Cajun crawfish. So glad we did cause they were awesome!! Bacon cheeseburgers and the tenderloin seemed to be a big hit with our group. We would definable you go back again if we are in the area!
My wife and I stopped for a bit of late lunch and the food was very good. The place was very clean and the staff was friendly. I was pleased and will definitely stop again.
Came here for lunch after a morning soccer game with a group of 7. Had never been here before but had heard from others that they have good food so thought we would try it instead of Subway- the only other restaurant in town. We were seated right away. The special was pork tenderloin so I got it with homemade chips. Food was served timely and was hot and tasted good. Was also surprised at how inexpensive the meal was. The bill for 2 people was under $12. Will definitely be back.
