Yes, Montgomery's (which it replaced) had divine food, but it was a completely different type of restaurant. (I've heard that Montgomery's chef is now at Buttita's in Champaign, which definitely explains the deliciousness.)
3 Ravens has awesome specials and pretty darn good prices. I have never ordered something that I have not been tremendously happy with. Their french fries are right up there with Wonderdogs in Champaign, which I consider to be the best fries around, hands down! They have a pulled pork sandwich special on Sundays (and maybe Wednesdays) that is amazing in both flavor, tenderness and juiciness. Their burgers are great (though being pregnant, I can't have the blue cheese burger right now, which I miss sooo much) and they have a great selection of (mainly Irish) beers on tap (which I also miss quite a bit :) Their club sandwich is great, as is their shrimp basket and fish sandwich. Those are my particular recommendations, but like I said, I've never been disappointed ordering something new. I have a friend who foolishly ate the "Triple Bypass" in one go. It was enough food to almost get sick just watching him and when he finished he looked like the perfect image of someone who had just finished the best meal of his life and was now ready to promptly explode. Their service is great - attentive, but not annoying and friendly in the Cheers type way where you're a long term friend and client even if you're only there once.
They've got a few tv's in the dining room where I occasionally find myself enjoying a football game even though I don't watch sports and their decor is nice, somewhere between American bar, Irish pub and home. I'm not positive, but I think the owners are also the owner's of an Ivesdale pub called Bridgette's Blarneystone, maybe? (Which I hear rave reviews about.) In fact, after talking about it now, I want to go eat there at this exact moment. It's just a nice place to go and grab a great meal for a reasonable price (Burger and fries average $7-10) We've also been there later at night (8 or 9 PM after days of building projects and sparse opportunities for food) and found that the food is just as good late as it is during more typical dining hours (I've found that that isn't always the case with pub/eateries, especially in small towns.)
Hooray 3 Ravens. Though I'll miss you Montgomerey's, I will cherish your replacement with equal enthusiasm.
