5 /5 Pete Barger: Good food, we both had the ribs and smoked chicken special. The ribs were acceptable, good flavor but slightly on the dryer side. The chicken however, was wonderful. Very flavorful skin, beautifully presented and super moist interior. Simply superb. Side items were good with real mashed potatoes and acceptable mac and cheese. My wife had the baked beans which she enjoyed and they were flavored with a significant amount of pulled pork. Both of our desserts, (Italian cream cake and a chocolate bundt cake with a ganache) were excellent.
The servers were very nice.
Truly however, the star of the show was the beautiful facility and million dollar view. Overlooking the Ohio river right across from Monkeys Eyebrow Kentucky this setting is stunning. Hotel rooms, cabins, a B & B housed in some grain silos (under construction) as well as an RV park and a winery are available. Boaters can tie off and walk up easily directly from the river, no car transportation needed. Large deck overlooking some of the most lovely scenery that Southern Illinois has to offer. Make the drive, youll be glad you did. $50 bucks for two (without tip) drinks and desserts included.
