Dongola BlueFish Cafe - (Near Dongola, IL)

Lee Bradley We arrived at 8am on a Friday for breakfast while staying in the area. The atmosphere was very friendly as the place buzzed with “regulars” enjoying their morning coffee. Even though we were from out of town we felt very welcomed. The food was made from scratch and delicious. We will definitely stop again the next time we are passing through.

Jaime Rivas Saporito’s Pizzeria is about 14 miles from me i live in Freeport, but the drive was well worth it. This is a true mom-and-pop pizzeria that offers both excellent food and warm, friendly service. The pizza was outstanding—perfect crust, flavorful sauce, and fresh toppings. They also have a good selection of classic Italian favorites beyond just pizza. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the kind of place where you immediately feel at home. Service was quick and attentive, and everything came out hot and fresh. If you’re looking for an authentic, family-run spot with top-quality pizza and Italian food, I highly recommend Saporito’s. I’ll definitely be back!

Frank H We’ve been here multiple times as we live a few minutes away but this past Friday was the worst. As we walk in, the young lady at the door was as bland as plain toast…no smile, no small talk, not very inviting. Then our server, PM S?, also with zero personality. While he was mildly attentive, he seemed totally uninterested in ensuring we had what we needed and were enjoying our night. Also with no smile, no “how’s your evening” zero. While I get it, not everyone is the same and should care about everything, you would hope that staff that are the front line of your business would be on there game. Then the food - smash burger was good, sweet potato fries COLD…literally like they had been sitting on a plate for 15 minutes until burger & fish were done. Wife’s fish - we seriously think they just put the cod in the pan and over cooked it and added NOTHING for flavor! NOTHING! We saw other servers interacting with their patrons and giggling, smiling but not our table. I suppose everyone has an off day but really? We love the typical atmosphere there which is why we will go back but management should maybe keep an eye out on their workers to ensure they are somewhat engaging with their customers and not all pouty….that’s what customers are looking for!

Ruthie Dienst Food was amazing! Everyone raved about it! His homemade pinapple jalapeño bbq sauce was delicious, even those who dont do spicy tried it and loved it! Literally all of his food was amazing. And we had a lot of food! He was easy to work with and delivered (because we were local) right to the venue. Cant say enough good things about his food and service! We will definitely be using him for our future catering needs. Thank you!

L Grabb We had a fantastic time dining at Maryflor Mexican Restaurant in Clinton. Upon arrival, we were able to choose our preferred seating, and opted for a cozy booth. Our server provided excellent service. Without delay, he brought out a delicious serving of chips and salsa, which hit the spot since we were all quite hungry. The salsa and chips were incredibly flavorful. Each of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The portions are quite large too! We are definitely looking forward to returning for another meal at Maryflor Mexican Restaurant!

Ron Clark I thought my breakfast was very good. More than I could eat. Sausage patties were oversized. Hash browns done crispy just the way I like them. Very satisfied. Will go back, soon I hope.
