All staff was extremely friendly, burgers were amazing and you can’t leave without getting at least 2 different slices of pie or cake. Would go back again for sure.

On 3/25/2025 Robert Lamb had this to say:
Nice bar/restaurant nestled by the Kankakee River in the small town of Aroma Park. No, it doesn't stink! Good burgers and a nice selection of beers on tap.

Great bar and restaurant by river with friendly staff

On 2/23/2025 HughDonovan had this to say:
Finishing our tour of Illinois we had plenty of time to stop for lunch before flying home. We took a small detour of I57 to eat next to the Kankakee river. Excellent, friendly, service. Pulled pork sandwich and burger with mushrooms and Swiss both excellent. Mixed berry pie even better. Good selection of draft beers. Worth the detour.

On 1/18/2025 Beth Stein had this to say:
Served our family of 12 on a Friday night for dinner in a surprisingly quick manner and with their usual family friendliness. Our favorite server remembers the small details our family prefers, also.
