Cabin Fever Bar & Grill

  I love eating at Cabin Fever.  I usually come for lunch but I have had supper here a few times.  I usually get the chicken bacon ranch sandwich and I take off the bacon and give it to whoever I am eating out with.  Their sandwiches are so good though and I come here whenever I can talk someone into going with me.  I have had many of their appetizers and they were all good.  The ones that I have tried were:  cheese balls, mozzarella sticks, fried breaded pickle spears, and fried mushrooms.  They are all awesome.  Their drinks there are very reasonable prices too even for top shelf liquors.  They have drink specials everyday.  The place is really easy to find.  It is up the street from the McDonalds that is by I-80 between there and that new Holiday Inn Express off of Rt. 251.  But go and try it if you want some good food and good drinks.  I would eat here everyday if could afford it and also if I wanted to die early from clogged arteries from eating too much fried food.  They offer stuff grilled there but it is so much better fried and I try to limit fried food to once a week or less.  I highly recommend the place to everyone though.

  great local spot for a beer and typical bar food.  we ended up here because of convenience, but it was just what we needed after a day hiking at starved rock.  i must admit i was a little skeptical first from the name and second for the location but they proved me wrong.  the servers were pleasant, the food was above average.  warning the hot sauce on the wings is REALLY HOT, like "suicide" level., appropriate portion sizes and prices.  check it out for a nice casual spot.

  Both the food and the service were good - there was nothing extra special about either.  This is your basic bar food -Our party had a variety of dishes - fried fish, family style chicken (which is fried chicken served with speghtti and tortellini in meat sauce), sirloin steak.  Everyone said their food was good.  I had the hot wings - they were also good and the hot sauce was hot. The french fries were almost battered and they were also very good.  The food is very reasonably priced.  Overall nothing exceptional but I would go back again.

  Great place for a fun night out.  Food is good, for the reasonable price.  Staff is always kind and gives 100% attention to customers needs. Owner Heidi always smiles and kidding around with ya...  :-)

  Stopped in for dinner and both had the 1/4 fried chicken that was wonderful - the skin was removed and the batter was light.  The meat wasn't dry but moist even without the skin.  Had the pasta side dish instead of fries and veggie.  The fries did look good.  The sirloin special was also popular.  Will head back on a Monday for an all-day $1.50 tacos and $1.00 draft special.  Very nice local place but off the beaten path so you need to look real hard for it.

  Grew up in the Illinois Valley area, moved away, but migrate back semi-annually to visit family.  When I do, I'm ALWAYS game to try new places that have cropped up since I last visited, and new places aren't always easy to find!  
  
  So, I was excited to hear from my dear ol' mom that there was a new-ish place along the section of 251 that in my childhood memories is nothing but cornfields. Fairly unassuming building with a faux-log facade, plenty of parking.  When you get inside, it's spacious and charming.  A northwoods motif, lots of trophies and outdoorsy tchotchkes hung about...also a sweet freestanding fireplace that I bet makes things really cozy in the cold months.  
  
  The servers were sweet, the food was really tasty and reasonably priced.  I had a fried pork tenderloin sandwich that tasted hand-breaded, not like a pre-formed, frozen patty.  Large, with a garlicky, crunchy breading, generous portions, and for dessert, yummy bananas foster bites with caramel sauce and whipped cream.  I will definitely put this place on my must-visit places to get a quality sandwich when I'm visiting home.  Looks like a fun place to grab a beer, as well, with a big, circular bar and high-top tables outside the dining area.

  We went for lunch and had the italian beef sandwich and pork tenderloin.  Would try either again.  Portions were generous. Someone at the table next to us had an order of onion rings and I won't be able to stop thinking about them until I go back to try them.  Service was very attentive, quick and friendly.  They did a nice job decorating the place although feel some side panels on the windows would cozy up the atmosphere.  Nice they had a separate eating area away from the bar so you could take your family.  Nice and clean.
