Cheapseats Sports Bar & Grill

Without a doubt the best Burgers served anywhere.  the lettuce & tomatoes are fresh cut & crisp.  You get a big slice of tomato ...  not some little stale colorless slice of tomato and limp lettuce.  The cook at this gem rocks! All the dishes are done to perfection. He takes pride in everything that comes out of the kitchen.  The staff is always friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is fun and very clean.  I only eat in 4 restaurants in Streator.  Cheapseats is two of them.

I was able to try the "new" Cheapseats during a trip home over the holidays.  

While there isn't much on Main Street in downtown Streator, Cheapseats is one of the businesses that seems to attract in the patrons.  Maybe it's the friendly bar staff, the clean and trouble free atmosphere or that it's a place you can go and feel welcomed by everyone who is in there.  

After being in the old shuttered Blue Room, the building was purchased and revamped into a sports bar atmosphere.   It has been purchased and sold a couple of times over the past few years, but each owner has kept the same tradition of having a good quality bar.    

I generally have patronized Cheapseats for the after work happy hour crowd.   There is just something about sitting around after grinding the stone all day, shotting the bull, watching ESPN on the tv's throughout the bar and rocking out to classic rock and country on the jukebox.   Throw in a quick appetizer and it's a good evening.     The bar also has numerous arcade machines, pool table, and dart machine.  

If your not into the "bar atmosphere," Cheapseats also has a spacious dining area with a full regular menu, salad bar, and nightly dinner specials as well.  

The key to their success has to be Debbie, she is always outgoing, friendly and makes sure to know her customers.  

If you are ever passing through my little off the beaten path hometown, be sure to stop in if you are looking for a great little watering hole.
