    Catfish yummy!!!... cooked nicely, still flakey, not muddy and had a tasty batter. Country fried steak was very good but, gravy was not as creamy as we like. Neither are too peppery. Fries were fresh cut, crisp, hot and delicious! Beer Cheese broccoli soup was delectable and nice chunks of broccoli!!! Side salad was prepared fresh, crisp and good. All in all, a very enjoyable experience, delicious food, hometown atmosphere and very friendly. We will definitely be back!

    You are a friend the minute you walk through the door. Lots of locals makes for a friendly atmosphere. We had breakfast it was fantastic. We'll be back for lunch for sure. Worth the trip from Neoga.

    My friend and I arrived just about closing we didn't know because we were from out of town had never been there before and felt bad and started to leave but the waitress went out of here way to have us seated welcome my friend and I to the city of Paris Ill. We were the only customer's inside the restaurant because they were closed at this time. The place looked very clean and had a sense of hometown style. I ordered the Roast beef and potatoes & carrots and it was to died for! I have never ate anything so delicious. Give me that recipe and I will pay for it. My friend got Burger and fries and she said It was the best she had ate in years. The owner was there and she was very friendly making sure we were comfortable with our dinner experience. I rate this Restaurant by the Tracks in Illinois 1 out 10 a ten and some. I hope people reading this will take a trip or vacation and experience the outstanding food and great service you will find there. I do Google reviews and I,m not paid by anyone to write this review or get any perks. Thank you from Gregg Butler

    American comfort food. Everything was great. Especially enjoyed the homemade ranch dressing. Even the green beans were thoroughly seasoned and wonderful, and I don't usually enjoy green beans at all. Server was friendly and attentive. Great experience. Will definitely be back.
