“Local bar and grill next to the Rock River, near the campgrounds. Really good $2.50 Bloody Mary! Food was great. Italian beef was the best, fried chx sandwich was huge! Excellent service from Hailey who was helpful and upbeat. This is now our go-to place. Last night special was 1# ribs (4-5 bones) with fries and slaw for $10! Can't wait to go back!Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible as far as I know“
“I have done the dinner and haunted tour twice this year. The food is very good, a great Italian buffet. It's a lot of fun learning about the history of the area and all the stories. The museum in the basement is pretty cool. A neat venue and fun night out.“
“First time! Gathered there for a work party. Had the Mango-Habenero wings with zero additional heat. The sauce had a mild zing, good thing I didn't add extra heat, which is a fun option. The fries were delish!Dietary restrictions: The bone-in wings are not coated so it's a great gluten free option.“
“Went there to clean for service hours I chose them every time because they deserve it out of everyone they were so nice and very open to talk about anything they were so nice they gave us free pop and burgers wich were so good tasted like my pops burger's maby even better made with 100% love“
“Went late in the year, as the fall colors had set in. Beautiful views. Very few diners at lunch, so we were not surprised to have good service. Very friendly. The food was very decent, with a nice salad bar. Look forward to going back when we are in the area.“
“Lost Nation will always be one of my favorite courses as that is where my golfing journey began. Growing up I worked out there watering, cooking and bartending. It is a one of a kind course that has such great history and a very welcoming community. I now live out of town but look forward to playing anytime we are back and of course during our annual outing. I have already seen the vision and improvements of the new ownership. I look forward for what’s to come.“
“We had the Ribs special...fall off the bone literally! Catfish special... breading was crispy and hot on the inside, not oily, and my son had the cheeseburger but choose to eat off our plates. Our specials came with soup or salad and dessert! YUMMY!!! IT WILL DEFINITELY BE OUR GO TO FAMILY RESTAURANT!!“
“I recently moved here a few months ago. This was my first time here. It has a cool relaxing vibe to it. Jonna was incredibly friendly and took my order for cheese curds to go. I couldn't wait to get home to try them. They were awesome!! The ranch dressing was the perfect dipping sauce. I'm definitely going back to try out the other menu items and to have Jonna make me a few cocktails.“
“For a small town bar, this place is pretty cool. They have a huge bar, gaming room (of course), plenty of seating, and a gated concrete slab for outdoor seating, music, and a game of bags! Plus, the staff was cool as hell. Can you ask for more than that?“
“Food is far above expectation for Ogle Co. Dining . Service is fabulous. Downfall is that we have never eaten here and not had super wasted obnoxious beer drinking idiots playing pool. Seems like a bad business plan to drive away people spending lots of money on food for a bunch of people that drive customers away. The pool table is inconveniently placed by the front door so you have to walk awkwardly around a crowd of inebriated fools to get to your table. Every time we have come here people just get up and leave due to the rowdy folks blocking the front door and the access to the gaming machines. That being said. The food and the service (truly a rare find in these parts) outweigh the cons for our family.Kid-friendliness: I would not recommend bringing small children here. At all. My kids are big boys and not sheltered. Normal children would not fare well in this environment.“
“There are several bars in Byron, all within several feet of each other. With that said Uptown is the unique one. It has a bowling alley. Also they tend to go off road with their food. The have unique twist on regular restaurant and bar food. They are like the Burger King in the sea of McDonald's. You have to go there at times to break the monotony.“
“Absolutely love this place. The staff is very friendly for the most part, one member in particular not so much BUT that isn’t the point of my review. We eat here every morning when we are in town with family. Most times 2, if not 3 mornings in a row. Truly a “down home cookin’” type of place. Big portions, great taste. Highly recommend!“
