  Really wanted to rate this at 4 stars: Conveniently located between Il Hwys. 78 and 125, the only real restaurant in town (there's a Subway and a coffee shop that serves soups and sands.) and some of the food is really very good. Best bet: Hand breaded Tenderloins, fried chicken on certain days/nights and Friday's Walleye or Catfish fillets. The homemade desserts as well as some really good soft served icecream.
  
  * A regional dish, the Horseshoe, consists of toast, choice of meat on top, topped with fries and covered with cheese sauce. Variations: Poneyshoe (smaller version), Donkeyshoe-with chili and the Breakfast shoe.
  
  Why I didn't rate it 4: Rest of the menu that I have had in the last few trips to Virginia were dissapointing. The taco salad had barely any meat, a breakfast shoe I was looking forward to as I hadn't had one in years, had one hard egg and the other one, the whites were runny, when the eggs were suppose to be scrambled. Plus it wasn't hot. The older side of the restaurant doesn't "feel" clean.
  
  Service depends on the server. Owner is often there and friendly. Overall, I would recommend it.
