Snappers Bar & Grill

Never eaten anything at Snappers I didn't like. Plenty to pick from. Daily specials, fresh ground beef burgers, grilled chicken breast, ribeye sandwiches, all made behind the bar and cooked by bartender. They also have salads, chili, and plenty of appetizers to choose from. Several big screen TVs. Band nights usually draw a large crowd. Cold draft beer on tap (approx 10 varieties) to pick from.
Shout out to Sherrie she is the best bartender they got!

DAMN GOOD FOOD!!! try the 303 Melt. Fanfrrakintastic!!!!

Ok, so Clinton, IL is not what you would call a big town.  Think the sign coming in says the population is about 7,000.  And my guess is that is generous.  So there are not a lot of options as far as dining when you are out here.  In fact this may have been the only place that was open except for McDonalds.  I stopped in here to grab dinner and came away pretty happy!

The bar/restaurant is right on the town square and I'm pretty sure they don't often get anyone from outside the county in the bar let alone someone from as far away as California.  On the downside they do allow smoking inside which is something I haven't had to experience in a long time.  But people were friendly and chatty including a guy who got t-boned on his motorcycle a couple years ago and wanted to show me all of his scars from the accident.  Ok, so maybe the patrons should have been a little less friendly.

Anyway, bartender also does the cooking and while the menu isn't expansive, it has all your standard fare.  I got a cheeseburger with curly fries and because the bartender was cooking it I could see that it was a fresh made hamburger patty... not some frozen patty that was store bought.  Everything tasted great, bartender was friendly and helpful and don't have any burger, fries and a Bud Light ran me $7.

As long as you aren't expecting anything fancy, Snapper's works for what it is!
