DeSoto House Hotel - (Near Galena, IL)

Emily D Tried this place per a recommendation and it did not disappoint! Ordered three pulled pork meals with various sides (we wanted to try different ones). They were all very good. Our favorites were the greens and BBQ beans. Food was reasonably priced, nice serving size, fresh and tasty. The person taking our order was friendly and patient as we worked through deciding on sides. Will visit next time we are in Galesburg. Glad to see the town getting more and better dinning options!

Hudson Waters Food is Great! Good service and food comes out quick.

nancy robinson First I might be a little biased ( just a little) LOL 1. Food is scrumptious. BBQ out of this world. Ribs fall off bone. All hot food. Green beans, baked potatoes, baked beans etc are also all smoked for hours! 2. Portions leave you satisfied when you leave 3. Prices OMG. I’ve enclosed a menu from 5/11/25 . Where can you get 2 rib dinners 2 sides with each dinner. All for $22.95. Come on fast food costs more than that. 4. Last but not least. DONT go if you don’t want to become addicted. Because. YOU WILL BE BACK. I quarantee it Look at the size of those loaded nachos. Almost as big as the tray Think they were $7.95. Look at those rib bones they pulled right out of the meat. And that 1 lb smoked bake potato. The two of us couldn’t eat it all And when you go tell the owner Mike. Nancy Gail Robinson sent you.

Carollia We had a quick bite at this place. It was clean, the person at the counter was friendly. We ordered rice and beans with guac and tres leches cake and churros. Everything was tasty, especially the guac which was freshly made. Ive been to other places where the guac is cold from being in the fridge or dark from being old. Id totally recommend this place for a quick meal.

Gayle Roberts Tobias Oct. 11 2025... dinner time. We called ahead to see if we could even go there cause were in a KW semi and was told "Absolutely!! When?". We gave them a time frame & when we did get there- the owner himself met us outside as we was pulling up and he directed us to his back lot... where he had already opened up the security fences that protect the grounds for us to get in, get turned around & get parked to come in & eat... WE SURE APPRECIATED THAT!! Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Its an old school building!! We loved that!! Hubby & I had several conversations about the building itself as we ate dinner. High nostalgia factor here- for real. It was great. The food was delicious- they had LOTS to choose from, the place was clean, the price was reasonable, the staff was so friendly and the owner was so very nice & helpful. We had absolutely no complaints, both of us left with our bellies full & we had an enjoyable sit down meal before we rolled on. We had an overall pleasant experience & we hope to come back again if were ever again in the area! Once again- Thank yall so much!!

Amanda Fallbacher Great food. Great service. Can’t wait to go back.
