Pookies Beer, Burgers & Bocce - (Near Marion, IL)

Big B Just stopping through town for the night and wanted some takeout hibachi and chose this place. They have a drive-through which was super convenient. As soon as I pulled up, the woman already knew my order and my food was ready. The food tastes great and is in good size for the value. I would come back here again.

emily Ellsworth Their food is good. It actually is reasonably priced. Portions are definitely sharable size. The only thing I was bummed about, is my sandwich didn’t have the spicy mayo it was supposed to have. So it was a tiny bit dry. Luckily my husband had some sauce spillage on his plate so I scraped that up to use it. Also, she did bring me the wrong side at first, but eventually she brought the right side. They still get a 5, because there is nothing better than their tin can nachos. Meat not necessary. The onions are really what you need. Don’t forget to ask for extra pickled onions!

Harbaugh Alexander Virginia “Ginger” Food was delicious! The owner even stepped out of the kitchen to announce our friends retirement (which we were celebrating) and another persons birthday. Fries chicken- Soooo Good! Their chicken n dumplings are SO good - they ran out of them! Atmosphere - family friendly, lots of laughter, family and friend conversations!!! For wait time, I cant say, because we reserved a table ahead of time...since it wss a large party (12)

Mikaela Powers Amazing food and service! I loved sitting on the heated “porch”.

Erica Fuller Considered the oldest family-owned restaurant in the US, the Berghoff has a lot of rich history. I went while it was decorated for Christmas and it was gorgeous. I tried the Lemon Tortellini, first time I had that dish, and now I want to learn how to make it at home. So delicious! I also enjoyed the non-alcoholic “Cozy Blanket” mocktail. I could drink that all day. I’m not always into German restaurants, but this was definitely a great find!!

Jason McGuire If you ever find yourself in Illinois Amish Country (or within a couple hours), you have to go to Yoders Kitchen in Arthur, IL. There are too many things to choose from so go for the buffet. Every night there are different items (menu is online) but I waited until tonight so I could get all of my favorite comfort foods: broasted chicken, chicken and noodles, mashed potatoes, green beans (all of those are on the buffet every day for lunch and dinner) plus pot roast, turkey and dressing, and spaghetti. They also have a huge salad bar, a couple different soups, and a few different cobblers and treats for dessert. There are fresh baked pies also but those are an extra charge. Everything is made from scratch and definitely tastes like eating a Sunday dinner at Grandmas. Everything was delicious; there wasnt a single item I didnt like.
