The Spectrum Pub - (Near Cambridge, IL)

Lilith May not look like much from the outside, but don’t let this hidden gem fool you!! Amazing food in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, and the staff is amazing as well!! I just moved to Clinton from Chicago, over 2 hours away, literally knowing nothing about this town or area aside from my address lol… and after helping me move, my family wanted to take me to lunch before returning to Chicago, and relying on Google, we picked B’s due to the high ratings and rave reviews… they did NOT disappoint!! We have a thing where we order specific things from every new place we go to that are our favorites, and we’re kinda picky lol, but the 5 of us absolutely LOVED our food!! The waitress was also awesome, and after learning I was new to Clinton, she took the time to fill us in on the area, all of the must hit places etc. It was very helpful and much appreciated!! The fact that it’s walking distance from my house is an added bonus… I will definitely be a future “regular” for sure!!!

Miss Decoy We ordered a double cheeseburger, fries with yellow cheese sauce, and two drinks, and overall the food was very enjoyable. The burgers are made from real beef and cooked fresh right in front of you. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the crinkle-cut fries were served hot. The cook on the grill clearly knows what he’s doing, and his passion for cooking really shows in the quality of the burgers. I also appreciated the cheese fry options, as they offer both a traditional yellow cheese sauce and a white pepper cheese sauce—both are good choices. The flavored fountain drink options (such as cherry and strawberry) were a nice added touch and made the experience feel a bit more special. Customer service was excellent. The staff taking orders were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, especially since this was our first visit. They kept things moving efficiently, and our food came out quickly and hot. The dining area and restrooms could use a bit more attention during busy times, as some tables and seating areas hadn’t been cleared yet. That said, it appeared the restaurant was very busy, so this may have simply been a timing issue. Overall, my partner and I really enjoyed the food and would definitely return and recommend this place to family and friends

JJ The experience was the best. Everyone was wearing masks very safe environment. The service was tremendous they double and triple checked the whole order asked if we wanted silverware and condiments. The good was tremendous the burgers were juicy cooked right and they have the best fried mushrooms in bloomington normal hands down. Cannot wait to try out their patio which has two big screen tvs as well as about 5 more inside. I also have many other things on their menu we are looking forward to trying out. The best part of the food is the TLC you feel when you go to pickup the order. If you have not been here I highly recommend you trying it! One of the small hidden gems in this community and with only one year under their belt they make it look like twenty. Very good run establishment. Cannot wait to try the loaded fries and club sandwich. Located right between Jims steakhouse and jimmy johns in the small plaza. Great weekly specials check them out on their website and like them on Facebook as they post specials on there daily.

Scott Heidemann I love Mexican food, especially when it’s authentic. I am not from the area but a patient was having lunch (Hector’s carry out) and couldn’t help but noticed how good it smelled and looked and had to try it out. 3 areas that separate Mexican restaurants are: their salsa, chips and taco salads. They were all amazing. Chips were thick and crispy, both salsas were made in house (the green was spicy, but it complemented the lettuce to calm it down). Not from around here but will definitely make this a reason to come back. A little pricey for what I ordered but the experience was good

Caleb Dix The Woods is a great place to enjoy a nice evening out with friends or loved ones. It’s unlike most bars you’ve been too, it is probably the nicest bar I’ve been to, and hands down the best in the area. The entire crew is awesome, and service is impeccable even when they are swamped. All of the food options are well worth the try. I used to think I had a favorite, but anymore I can’t single one out. They all have their own unique flavor that keeps you craving for more. Definitely the most consistent food options week to week I’ve ever been served, which is pretty rare, especially coming from a bar. Highly recommend making a stop at the Woods!
