“Hometown bar where everyone knows each other...if you walk in a stranger you know are one of us by the end of your visit. Cold beer, great drinks & any choice of song you like!!!”

“Absolutely love this place! Amazing staff, amazing atmosphere and their food and drinks are completely addicting to the point Kinos has its own line in our budget these days! ? Also their specialty products are unmatched! Christian goodies for everyone! Try the turkey and cheese sandwich with their specialty mustard! Promise you won’t regret it! ?PS don’t forget to check out their little bookshelf full of free books and more right by the door in/out! Picked up an adventure Bible for a special little boy who didn’t have anny Bible in his home and he had read over 80 pages in less than a week at 8! So thankful for Kino’s in a wide range of ways! Only store of any type I’ve ever seen such Glory given to God first and I’m here for it! ? Thanks Kinos for all you do for our little communities around Paxton & I’m sure your impact far surpasses your intentions! ❤️Parking: As long as it’s not 7-7:30am you should be good but even then it’s worth the extra little walk for their espresso & turkey and cheese sandwiches with their specialty mustard. ?Kid-friendliness: Little toys by the register couch area, little games on the tables and so much space to just enjoy a coffee with your mama friends! Mine are all a little too old to want to play with the toys but my best friends little boy LOVES his Kino time! Wheelchair accessibility: Haven’t tried to get a wheelchair in however the doors look plenty wide enough and the entrance is a ramp style entrance so no stairs!”

“Our Google GPS took us on a ten minute tour of Paxton (which has a nostalgic downtown) before taking us to the Paxton Family Restaurant which is actually just a few seconds west of the I-57 exit!The building is non- descript from the outside, but the atmosphere inside is small-town warm and friendly. Bree, our server, was quick to offer Specials and advice. I ordered the Italian Beef and fries, because in my experience, it tells a lot about a restaurant. It was very good, REAL beef roast, not some paper-thin slices of processed meat. The beef was tasty, piled high, covered with cheese, and tender. It was one of the best I've had! It was served with au-jus and thick fries.I was also given a big slice of a three layer chocolate cake because it was my birthday!We make the trip to Champaign often and will make the Paxton Family Restaurant a frequent stop! It was everything you hope to find in a rural, home-town restaurant!”

“Terrific food and service with local cuisine! Phenomenal place to be! Every bowl is a signboard.Support this local business against the awful fast food chains that surround it.”

I always try a different place while visiting him and always try/order wat their known for. But this place right here lol I luv it.

“This was a great find! Not too far off the highway; easy to find; good and friendly service. We were treated like company in their kitchen. Grilled chicken sandwich with fries was perfect!”

“Very classy and friendly staff. We were there for a retirement party of my boyfriend's co-worker. 30 + years working for the Ludlow Co-op. The eclectic atmosphere set a trendy city mood yet was not over the top unwelcoming for the blue collar farmers. Wine is a little more pricy but well worth extending the budget for occasionally.”

“Took my grown children here before they moved back to NY ..... they only regret is didn't take them sooner!Hopefully this place will never change great job and food!!The only thing that needs to be changed is that step when u come in!!!”

“Well worth the drive from Champaign for a good quality steak and friendly quaint atmosphere. We were offered a spot to sit at the bar and appetizer while we waited for our table. Food was seasoned well and cooked to perfection. We ordered NY strip, filet and shrimp for reference! Will be back!”

“My 5-star review shouldn't be misconstrued as meaning this is elevated, fancy Mexican or deeply authentic kind of cuisine, but for what it is it's great! It's spacious, incredibly clean, festive, fun decor, extensive menu, vegetarian friendly, flavorful - warm, delicious chips with tasty salsa, yummy, warm, soft tortillas... I'm a super picky eater and they adjusted my dish to my exact specifications. No mistakes, all questions answered carefully. Big, clean bathrooms. I had veggie fajitas, hubby had Pueblo Lindo fajitas, which included steak, chicken, and shrimp. What more could you ask for? We'll be back next time we drive to Champaign.”

“Agave has quickly become our new favorite restaurant! Friendly staff, quick service, and delicious food. We go out once weekly for family night out and it’s no question - we always go to Agave!”

“Wonderful customer service checked on us countless times I'm not use to that in other places I've visited....thanks paxton monicals for serving my family right !!!”

“Food was tasty. Service was outstanding. Great family atmosphere. I was visiting my daughter from AZ and took her and my granddaughters here. All had a great time.”

“Food was good! Staff was friendly. Service was quick! Portion sizes and prices were awesome! Hard to find a restaurant that checks all those boxes. Definitely recommend this place!!!”

“The food is a solid 4 out of 5. We all agreed that we would eat here again if we lived in the area. Seating is very limited and it is so cold inside that you will not want to stay anyway. The staff is fine. You'll get a welcome and thanks for visiting. This is very Americanized Thai. No galangal or kaffir, etc.”

“They are always very friendly, the place is small but cozy, the employees are very friendly and helpful and the club sandwiches are excellent. The sweets they make are delicious and are always fresh. 100% Recommended!♥️”

“My wife and I had dinner there a couple of weeks ago. Wonderful homemade tortillas and great horchata. My wife got chicken fajitas, and I got the carnitas. This is really home-style Mexican cooking. I really enjoyed my carnitas! The portions were big enough that we had the remainder at home the next night. We were taking with 2 patrons as they left, and they were telling us how much they enjoyed the soups. I am getting hungry as I write the review and think about how yummy the food is. And their guacamole is great.Parking: Huge lit parking lot right in front. Free parking.”

“I delivered a refrigerator here and the owner offered me a sandwich. Not one to turn down a Polish sandwich, I accepted his offer. The sandwich was incredible and the fries were great as well. Very nice people. I will definitely have to come back.”

“Food is great, and there's no beating their prices. I ALWAYS make a point to stop by if I'm in the area!Parking: They can get busy, but they have an overflow parking lot across the street.”

“The chicken is always good and the fish is normally pretty good. I miss the chicken gizzards they used to have. Easy way to feed yourself with pretty decent food.”

“This is a nice little home town bar. It is clean & neat. It will hold about 50 people & is a place you don't have to keep looking over your shoulder. The clientele are middle aged and older working folks. Go placeto go.”

“I eat here quite often and I always have a lovely experience. They always make my food super quick and fresh and I always get in and out quickly. I never have issues here and the people here are very sweet!”

“The restaurant was good. Friendly employees. I go there every 3 months. Last time I ordered a horseshoe sandwich special, they didn’t add enough queso. Everything else was ”

“Great drink specials and man can make a great bloody Mary, DJ in weekends but planning to stupid they do have security so you feeling safe, all troublemakersstay the hell away”

“I went there on Easter Sunday. I went there and the 2 young ladies were busy cleaning, but waited on me immediately. The place was spotless, so clean. The ladies were so pleasant to talk with. The Best service I ever received. I didn't get their names, but They know who they are and I want to say Thank You !”

“Central Tavern is that place where everyone knows your name ... or they will by the end of the night! Great barkeep and inexpensive cocktails ... a true hidden gem!”

“My 1st time at the Homestead. Very nice , clean. Good music. Great pizza. Bartenders nice as can be very quick on getting your drinks. Very friendly. Made you feel right at home !!!!! And all the locals were very nice and also made us feel welcome. Most definitely will be back !!!!! Yes I did try a slammie. It was very tasty !!!!?”

“I had never been there before this evening. I'm staying here for a few days to work and had noticed this place right here on goigle maps... and chose to stop by. I'm glad that I did. Attentive a courtious barmaid, cold beer, the Buffalo wings and fried cheese curds were actually some of the best that I have had... at a low price. It's a tavern, people in everyday work clothes are welcome here.”
