First time dining here. Great menu with ample options fairly priced. Service was excellent from start to finish. I went with the Patty Melt and seasoned fries. Cooked perfectly. Will definitely dine there again.

Stopped here passing through from MN. Friendly owners and staff! Had the Chicken Fajita grilled Cheese and it is AMAZING! Highly recommended! Also had the pulled pork Mac-n-cheese which was very good as well. Appetizers were the “ball bearin” corn nuggets and the deep fried potato/ hash browns. Corn nuggets were very good as well as the potato balls. Personal opinion was a preference for the corn nuggets. Great find for a quick stop through IL. Thanks for the wonderful food!

The Grease Monkey is a great place to have a drink, enjoy delicious food, and share some good times with friends and family. Everything I have eaten has been delicious and I always get great service. When the weather is warm it's a great place to enjoy being outside on their huge patio and to catch a local band outside.Kid-friendliness: The main dining area isn't that big so it can sometimes be tough to find a table and it can get kinda hectic but the menu has lots of items for kids and the wait staff is always very friendly to families.

So happy that Colona finally got a family friendly dining establishment with plenty of seating, a whole calendar full of specials and great Mac and cheese options. I've always had great service here as well.

Drinks were excellent and so was the food. We will come back but it is 45 miles from our house. Thinking about meeting up with some camping friends there in a few

Had a group of 6. Waitress was very efficient. Got drinks and then took our orders. At first it was very noisy, but then table with possibly 14 people received their food and things quieted down. Everyone had different entries and everyone was happy with their picks.
Been here a couple of times. Always great food and priced very fair for the quality. Staff are always polite and great service! Would definitely eat here again!!
First time. Driven past this place so many times. Fantastic sandwich. Time to try the rest of the menu!!

Stopped in on the motorcycle to grab a bite to eat. Immediately after sitting down the waitress brought us. Menus and asked about drinks. We got her opinion on an appetizer. She nailed it on the head. The ball bearings were awesome. I ordered the Philly burger. It came out piping hot and juicy. One of the best burgers I have had in a long time.We never had to wait on a refill. Our waitress was on top it our whole visit.
