I was in Monticello for business and was staying at the Best Western across the parking lot. I had read the reviews on this place and was not optimistic but I wanted a quick dinner and didn't want to drive to Champaign.
I ordered one of the Monday specials which was the rib eye. I was expecting a skinny little rib eye steak. I was craving red meat and didn't care... This steak came out and the first words out of my mouth were "Yabba Dabba Do". The steak was huge! I cut a small piece off the end and it was delicious. I cut through the middle and it was actually super rare/raw. The waitress took it back apologetically to have it cooked. This was her first day on the job and she did great, very sweet and attentive. Steak came back out cooked to perfection. I'd go back in a heart beat. Friendly staff and extremely reasonable pricing, especially for the portion size.
