The Back-yard Restaurant - (Near Monmouth, IL)

M Rogers I dined solo on a Saturday night. I made a reservation at the bar. The bartender was very friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. The Caesar salad had pistachios, which was an interesting twist. It was not a traditional Caesar. They were able to accommodate my gluten-free diet, which was great. The lamb loin main dish was interesting. The Colorado lamb was not at all gamey, which surprised me. It did seem a bit tougher to chew than I expected. The dessert was tasty. I was seeking a special experience and this place delivered. It seems to be one of the more creative restaurants in the area. I would definitely recommend it. Make sure to make a reservation!

Rachel Sheehan We had a great experience at Suite Fire! This place is tucked away in the Holiday Inn, but I’m so glad we tried it. The food was cooked to perfection, the cocktails were great. Everything was delicious. Things were very reasonably priced. You also get two sides (and Texas toast) with an entree! Thank you Chef Seth and Connor for taking care of us!

Kaden Stratton Hands down best Al Pastor I’ve ever had. The tacos were very well put together and super flavorful! Prices are very competitive for the amazing quality of food you get here. The staff is very friendly and welcoming as well.

Emily D Tried this place per a recommendation and it did not disappoint! Ordered three pulled pork meals with various sides (we wanted to try different ones). They were all very good. Our favorites were the greens and BBQ beans. Food was reasonably priced, nice serving size, fresh and tasty. The person taking our order was friendly and patient as we worked through deciding on sides. Will visit next time we are in Galesburg. Glad to see the town getting more and better dinning options!

michael schram Ate here for the first time last night. The ribeyes were delicious! The service was excellent! Up scale restaurant without the drive to a bigger city... :)

Marion Kupp Fantastic chicken. Better than KFC and Popeyes, hands-down. Got six pieces of chicken, three thighs, three drums, small container of mashed potatoes and three biscuits little under $25. Sometimes you gotta wait for fresh chicken because you want specific pieces, or a le carte, But it’s absolutely worth it.
