Hinks Bar & Grill - (Near Sycamore, IL)

Kayla Cacciatore Stopped in here on the 4th of July because we saw a post on Facebook. They accommodated all 9 of us last minute and they did not disappoint! The food was amazing, get the breadsticks and salad! Service was perfect and everyone was super friendly. The place was perfectly clean and the bathrooms were spotless! It’s a tiny place but it’s perfectly setup. Definitely recommend trying it out! We will be back!

Deborah Mallek Driving through we looked for a restaurant that was quick off the highway. Called ahead and ordered Gyros to go. We stopped to pick them up and decided to eat there instead. Gyros would have been messy in the vehicle. We made the right decision! Amanda was our server and extremely accommodating when we said we wanted to change our order to eat inside. They only had the soup prepared so it wasn’t a problem at all. Our meal came with the Gyro on Pita with a potato and other side. It was a lot of food for the cost. We asked for the pita to be grilled crispy and it was done the most perfect we’ve ever had. The gyro meat was cut in smaller pieces instead of long slices but it made the food much easier to eat. We each at cream of potato soup. We had fruit and onion rings as a side. It was a large portion of onion rings. This place is worth the stop! We didn’t have the buffet but took pics of it. The salad bar looked great too. Next time!! The staff were all so friendly. You won’t be disappointed stopping here. The prices are extremely reasonable. Portions huge.

Rachel Fronczak First time coming here and it was amazing!! Definitely will be back. Got a #1 and it was delicious, the fries were so good.

Joshua Daily QC must also mean Quality Control cause the food here was delectable. Waking up in the Quad Cities with no game plan and an empty stomach is what lead us to this fine destination. I was tasked with finding a place close to our hotel and this one sounded like what both Emily and I were craving. We got there a bit before 9am and were greeted with a 30-40 minute wait time. Since there probably would’ve been a wait time anywhere else, we gave them our name, number and headed back to the car to chill. Not even 15 minutes later, we got the call to come in and have some breakfast. Since we had time to kill in the car, we planned out our orders before we went back in so we were able to order right away. Emily got the Western Skillet and I got the Western Omelet. For how busy it was, the food took no more than 10 minutes to come out and it was a lot more than I was expecting. For an omelet, this thing must’ve had like 12 eggs in it. Same for Emily’s skillet, it was served in a bit pan and it was filled with so much food. One of the reasons we picked this place is because they are known for their cinnamon roll pancakes. Emily got some for her side and I cautioned her that since its a side pancake, it might be normal ones. Turns out, it was the normal ones but good god, the one bit I had of them was heavenly. Turns out, the whole meal was mostly divine. The omelet could’ve had a bit more flavor to it but a little bit of salt and pepper helped bring it to life. Emily really liked her food but found the ham in her skillet to be a bit too bland for her taste. The food here was super good and a great value for what you paid. On top of that, the entire staff was super friendly and professional and handled the breakfast crowd like veterans in spite of the young ages of the staff. As we drove around the Quad Cities the day before, I pointed out the million different pancake houses to Emily, so, its funny and fitting that we ended up going to one for breakfast the next day… and what a good one we selected. They must really like their pancakes up there. I might have to add a few of them to my list of places to check out next time we are up here.

Penny Wadley Not a very large place, but worth checking out if you haven’t. Very friendly staff and atmosphere, with good food and drink! Had one of the best cheeseburgers I have had in quite a while . Grilled to perfection with lettuce, tomato, onion, minus pickle, I preferred cheddar cheese and on toasted Texas toast. It came with chips, as they have no deep fryer. Jen made me a margarita, from scratch. Good job Jen it was very good!

Roberto Small building, but its good.... Arbys has always been a favorite of mine.... Tastes like Arbys is supposed to.... No complaints.....
