“The artichoke spinach pasta was really excellent. My New York strip had great seasoning and the side potatoes were unique. However, the steak was order medium rare but arrived medium well and well done in some areas. I still enjoyed my meal and the meat was surprisingly tender for being over cooked. I would definitely come back.“

“First time here, we had a delicious lunch! The chicken taco soup was really good. Also tried the grilled ham and Nick which was good, although I love me a good old fashioned hot ham and cheese, the addition of grilled onions and flavored mayo wasn't my favorite. We will definitely goback and try other entrees.“

“I didn't take pictures this time, but the food was delicious and large portions. We had a group of 16 and everyone highly enjoyed their food! We called in advance for seating, but we didn't order in advance.The waitresses were fast, on top of getting drinks and sauces, and had smiles on their faces the whole time.The food was picture perfect. I really wish I would have taken pictures. We ordered a variety of menu items as they have all day breakfast! So strawberry pancakes, chicken tenders with fries, burgers, Cobb salad, vegetable soup, chicken noodle soup, and more!!“

“I use to take my daughter here every Sunday. Unfortunately we've gone elsewhere due to price increases. $6 for a chocolate milk. I use to be able to leave $30. That covered the bill and a generous tip for a dad and a 7yr old. Now $40 hardly pays the bill and an ok tip.“

“This place is really nice. The food was amazing...we got Mozzarella sticks for an appetizer and they were hand battered. I got the chicken parmesan sandwich and fries, both were great. My date got the chicken piccata, which was also so good. For dessert, we tried the homemade tiramisu and that was fantastic...not too sweet. The waitress, McKenzie, was a pleasure...super friendly and fun.“

“We went early on Saint Patrick's Day. We had the corned beef and cabbage special. It was very good. All the meals that the people around us had looked good. The only complaint I have is a pet peeve of mine. I asked for separate checks, and instead of putting what people ate on their own check. They just added up the total check and divided by three. That means I paid for a third of other people's drinks, etc. Like I said, it's a pet peeve, so most people wouldn't care. In addition, there is a fee to use a credit card...also a pet peeve. If I'm in the area and hungry, I would go again, but this is over an hour drive from my house.“

“The new restaurant Waves is awesome! The owners can't be nicer. The best italian bread in the entire Illinois Valley area made fresh daily. The Italian beef is to die for. Just as good as Chicago's. The Cobb salad has real bacon. Can't stay enough about the banana pudding. Must try it. We'll definitely be back.“

“This was a hidden treasure of a restaurant with a bar area. We were greeted as we entered the door and the hostess told us to sit wherever we liked. We ordered the soup and salad bar. It was very nice assortment of dishes with mushroom soup. I had the Grecian style white fish, which was outstanding. My guest had the fried chicken and ribs, which were also very good. The salad bar also came with pineapple cake which reminded me of home. The service was excellent. The staff was great, they made you feel special. Give this place a try if you are in the Peru area and looking for a great place for dinner, you will not be disappointed.“

“What a pleasant surprise. Tucked in Water Street along the river. We stopped in for a late lunch and started off with the breaded cauliflower. It was exceptional and did not need any dipping sauce. The cook knows how to cook. My wife had the chicken parm sandwich. Grilled. It was a huge piece of chicken and she said she is going to eat it all because it was so good. I had the cod nuggets, french fries, and coleslaw. The cod was really good. Large chunks and the breading was perfect. Light and not heavy. Coleslaw was homemade and was also very, very good. Service was excellent. No waiting on refills. Our waitress had a great personality. The inside was very welcoming. Lots of television everywhere. Nice music playing in the background. We will definitely come back again. Top notch. Separate bar and dining room.“

“Listen I literally dream about the sandwiches from this place. I mean it when I say they make the best sandwiches. Haven’t been able to have one since the pandemic but I know one day soon I’ll be blessed driving by and see their open sign and have time to stop in and grab an all American sub with a cup of whatever delicious soup they are serving that day. And on that day god will have smiled down on me because I truly believe all anybody wants in the world is to sit in silence and eat a good sandwich. And this is that sandwich babe.“

“We took my DIL out for her birthday and she chose the restaurant as her place to go. The service was amazing; Zach was friendly, professional, and courteous. The food was wonderful; even though my son had to send his steak back for further cooking. Zach was apologetic and very helpful in getting it right. We had a large group and Zach never once neglected his other patrons in taking care of us.After the last trip to this restaurant, it seems the franchise has made some much-needed upgrades. I'm glad we tried again.“

“It was lunch. The food was better than okay, but it wasn't super great. Same with the service. Waitress was polite but didn't come around as often as needed. The restaurant itself seemed tired. Usually it's very upbeat and happy. Nonetheless I would return. The pricing for the lunch specials were a welcome surprise and unexpected. Great for large groups if you call ahead!“
