Review from Paul M.
Livingston, TX
6/1/2008
Located lakeside at Rend Lake Resort which is contained within Wayne Fitzgerald State Park property. Attractive building with shaded or unshaded patio overlooking the water. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere and staff. We went for breakfast, shared a Big Dog Breakfast at $9.95, enough food for 3 or 4 people. Pancake, bacon, and biscuit & gravy were very good but we were disappointed in the coffee, the soggy and very greasy breakfast potatoes and in the sausage patties. The ambience is great; maybe we were just grumpy or unlucky. We would try it again, perhaps at a different meal - open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Review from Tracy B.

My parents live in Southern Illinois, not far from this restaurant so we usually end up here for dinner whenever I visit. The atmosphere is casual, we usually eat in the bar area - scratch that, we always eat in the bar area and now that I think about it, I don't ever think I've been in the dining room. I love the all the windows in the bar and the openness they provide. The service is friendly, but I have to say lax. This last visit, they were out of the day's soup special, (clam chowder) and did not tell my Dad who had ordered it until they brought the rest of our soups and salads so he had to wait for them to bring something else while the rest of us ate.
When the entrées came, half of his was missing and still being prepared in the kitchen. It took almost an additional ten minutes for the rest of his meal to appear. And that just seems to be the way it goes here. Sometimes they are spot on and other times, they are so laid back you wonder if you're a paying customer at all.
Overall the food is decent. They've got good sandwiches, really good french fries and pretty kickin' fried chicken. But you'll need to keep it simple as it seems whenever we have ordered the more ambitious dishes, they can be as disappointing as the service.
