I enjoyed my lunch stop in Genoa, IL as I was driving for work today. Carl at the bar was a busy man and warmed up slowly. Don't expect to rush through this place...it isn't designed to operate that way. I had something unique to here- a fried Cajun potato salad that was incredibly delicious. The Reuben was great and fries were fresh cut and made well. The wings are amazing!! On my top 5 now -number 1 is still Truman's in St. Louis by AB. Â
Eat at Karlsbad Tavern! They take CC. If you're outgoing, this shouldbe a sure thing.
Like the sign says, "Great food... Lousy service!" Karlsbad has great burgers, but my favorite is Friday night Fish Fry, offering your choice or Fried Perch, Fried Cod or Baked Cod, choice of baked potato or fries, cole slaw and a roll for about 10 bucks. Oh, and don't miss the absolutely decadent Corned Beef and Cabbage served around St Patrick's Day every year. Be sure to find out in advance what day they're serving this Irish staple; a year is a long time to wait if you miss it! Hey, Karl, shops have Christmas in July, how about St Patrick's Day in September?!
