Melissa Huffman The lady that runs this store , Kenzi . She is truly an asset to your company. She talked with me the whole time I was there looking around . She treated every guest with respect and curiosity. The store was also very clean and stocked with product. Keep up the good work at this location. Clean gas stations are important especially when traveling.

Heather Bailey We were up from Florida. My cousin recommended Home Plate. They were closed so we Googled what was open and close. This came up with good reviews so we decided we would try it. Glad we did. Best service we have had while visiting the area. Food was good and we both enjoyed our meal. Also got to meet some folks who just moved back from our neck of the woods. Would recommend if you are in the area!

Meagan Walsh Grasshoppers Bar and Grill in Freeport, IL is an absolute gem! After three visits in a row, I can confidently say this place is a must-visit for anyone in the area. Their food is phenomenal, with massive, juicy burgers that are easily some of the best in Freeport. The homemade, hand-cut fries and chips are crisp, golden perfection, and their cheese curds? Easily the best in the region—crispy, gooey, and full of flavor. But what truly blew me away were the chicken strips—tender, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor. The portions are generous, and the prices are incredibly fair, making Grasshoppers a fantastic choice for anyone craving delicious, hearty comfort food without breaking the bank. If youre in Freeport, IL, you have to check out Grasshoppers Bar and Grill. Their outstanding food, friendly service, and unbeatable value make them one of the best places to eat in the area.
