“A lot of food for the price! We went on Friday at 5pm and had the pork chop special...it was amazing! It was a large 1" chops, butterflied pork chop, mashed potatoes with milk gravy, green beans, then a slice of cake for dessert. Great fast and friendly service!”

“Delicious pizza and breadsticks. It's a must go every time I come to town. The decor is cute and it's fast service too. The pizza tastes great because of their oven they cook it in. It's a Midwest classic!!”

“Great vibe, awesome people, and good cheap drinks. Matt’s a super cool guy who makes good cocktails, but he likes Rush a little too much. Impressive vinyl collection. No regrets making it down here for a wicked night and Matt was rad enough to drive us back to our hotel at the end of the night when Uber let us down, but like don’t ask him to do that.”

“If you are traveling and like looking for mom and pops it's worth leaving the interstate a little ways . Smoke and Shines bologna sandwich sets it apart from a lot of mom and pop bars and restaurants. It's very warm and comfortable and friendly. The menu was very complete and the drinks are so amazing .. thank you from the Coffmans”

“Just had my first bánh mi from 83 and...WOW! Just superb! Succulent pork belly, perfect veggies, mayo and baguette. Absolutely fantastic and just what I've been looking for here in Champaign-Urbana. The owner is outgoing and pleasant and took the time to welcome me and invite me back. They run a clean shop and the attention to details are evident. Clients were attended to with kindness. and happy faces were all I saw. Consider me addicted.”

“This restaurant was great. I stopped in on a rainy day and was pleasantly surprised by everything! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious! I would recommend to anyone who wants to try something new or anyone who loves middle eastern food.”

“CU foodies, rejoice! If you are a fan of perfectly balanced aromatics, flavorful potatoes, spicy sauces, and food that is totally filling without feeling heavy, this is what you’ve been looking for. There’s a plethora of vegetarian and vegan friendly options, and my husband and I were so pleased with the spice blends we shouted with joy a couple of times. We started with a potato bolani, a bread stuffed with potatoes, onion, and cilantro which came with an incredible chutney. For $6, we could have filled up on that. For our mains, I got chicken karahi/kadai, and he got the mantu, which are beef dumplings topped with various herbs and yogurt sauce. We traded back and forth so many times, I almost lost track of who ordered what. Also, my husband is diabetic, and our choices had him holding at a 130bg an hour after. Your mileage may vary, obviously, but legume and protein-rich stuff tends to work well for a lot of folks with those dietary issues and he was thrilled he could eat a *little* more than he probably should have. I can’t wait to go back and try everything else. We like trying many cuisines, and Afghan food is our new favorite!”

“I love this place, it’s a great place to relax and eat some good food along with a clean and comfortable atmosphere. Music here is an entire vibe to you can tune in while you converse and the staff is so respectful I'd eat here everyday. Can there like be more places like this?! I’m happy, hope others agree.”

“1st time here. this is a hidden gem!! very tasty food, good service!! My husband got the Muffuletta and I got the Chicken Parm Sub. We split an order of fries. Highly recommend!!”

“Love this restaurant. We try to dine at Hamilton Walkers every time we come to visit our son at college. Food is always amazing and at a great price point for an upscale dining experience. Fantastic ambiance, service and location. The cocktail shrimp and bacon wrapped dates appetizers are recommended. As are there steaks and fish and meat loaf and garlic mashed potatoes. Really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.”

“My 3 year old wanted sprinkles on her pancakes. We asked the waitress and she said she didn’t think they had any but they’d check. Then she came back and said someone what running to the store to get sprinkles. I thought I misheard her, but when my daughter’s pancakes come out, they had sprinkles! She was so excited and I will be a life long patron. They went above and beyond to make our breakfast enjoyable!”

“definitely my favorite sushi place in CU! the place may be small, but its always nice and clean. the menu has so many options to choose from! And the food itself, especially the sushi, its amazing. definitely a place to go to if you dont know what to ”

“If you like Waffle House, you'll feel right at home here. It's a very typical diner setting. Probably one of the last places to have a smoking section back when it was acceptable (it doesn't anymore). Food was great. Great view of a busy street area for slight entertainment. There was even a homeless/sign holder guy out there on the corner. So you really get the full city feel, but in a diner setting. Excellent. The 4-star was because there's a juke box (completely unnecessary in an already packed house), that decided to turn itself on and really ruin the moment while me and my wife were trying to have lunch together. Get rid of it. It's a diner not a bar. Otherwise good place.”

“Great food, great experience and great owners. I manage a local contracting company and during the hail storm they kept their business local and chose our company so we should to!”

“The Rose Bowl is an icon in the dive bar, history of Urbana. The Rose Bowl is one of the few places that still offers regular live music. They have a good selection of beers and whiskeys, and a great interesting crowd for people watching. There is convenient parking, and it's a not to be missed place if you want to experience the real dive bar culture of Urbana - champaign Illinois.”

“Very good service and free yummy sides!Very clean so I think all the people saying that it's really dirty are a bunch of bot accounts.Kid-friendliness: Very nice and sometimes free snacks + drink!”

“Had some amazing brisket, pit beans, and cornbread; all were among the best I've ever tried. I'll definitely be visiting this place again when I'm in town.”

“First visit and first time trying Korean food. Everything was super tasty and fresh! The kimchi is amazing. The server was very helpful in helping us decide what to order and the food came out very quickly. Very friendly and helpful staff! Will be back for sure.”

“DR has been our go to for Mexican food for 30 years. The prices have gone up by almost 50% since the pandemic so it has kept us from going as often as we used to. Nothing bad can be said about the place and we will continue to frequent when we can.”

“We’ve been at Casa Del Mar as a couple a few times, but last evening we were part of a group of 8 people! They were very busy at 6:30 pm but got us seated at a table on the patio in just a short time. Everyone enjoyed their dinner and the service was quick and accurate. It made for a nice experience, and we’ll do it again!! Gordon”

“I was skeptical but after learning about the products and the awesome ingredients that are so healthy for your body, you will surely find a flavor that will delight your taste bud's ?”

“It is counter service, the food was incredible, and was pretty quick. I haven’t tried anything like this but my Colombian friends wanted to bring me here. I wanted to try a variety of things and got the Bandeja Paisa which had a lot of flavor and was delicious!”
