  If you happen to be in Farmer City around lunch time or are driving by on I-74 and are looking for something besides fast-food, give Imo's Restaurant a try.  This is a decent mid-western home town restaurant with a nice full menu.  I have eaten here three times over the past two years and was always happy with what I had.  This is a place to have things like a hot roast beef sandwich smothered in gravy, or a meatloaf plate or a variety of sandwiches.  They also feature a local "thing" that originated in Springfield and the surrounding area, called a Horseshoe.  This is Texas Toast, with a meat selection (turkey, ham or hamburger) covered with a huge pile of fries and then drenched in cheese sauce.  This thing is HUGE, so on your first try, order the smaller version, the Ponyshoe.
  
  I'm sure not everything they make is home made, but the daily specials probably are.  When I had a meatloaf platter, it certainly was.  On the latest visit, I had a breaded tenderloin sandwich that was well above average.  It had  one fourth inch thick meat, instead of just being a huge bread Frisbee.  The chile was mid-range, typical midwestern style, but OK.  They had a very nice beef, vegetable soup that one in our party had that was reported to be very good.
  
  Bottom line, it is a decent small town Midwestern restaurant.  Certainly above average, with good service and a complete menu.  From I-74, take Exit 159 and follow IL-54 into Farmer City.  The restaurant is close, located at the junction of IL-54 and US-150.
