A: Best bar in Champaign (IMHO) and the closest thing to "Cheers" in Champaign. Decent beer selection. Peanuts in the shell, eat them and throw the shells on the floor. 4 pool tables. Relaxed and laid back. Used to be a townie bar, then they expanded it and all types hang out there. Just your basic, no frills, hang out with your buddies, BAR.

A: LOVE THE PRIME RIB! Order it more well done if you want it cooked, I ordered medium well and got damn near rare. The service sucks sometimes too but cant beat the price on the prime rib. 4 stars for food. 1 star for service.

Q: negative

A: First time visit....I had two things on the menu. - the chicken satay appetizer - pad thai the chicken was just ok, but it the peanut sauce had the flavor and consistency of peanut butter heated in oil. As for the pad thai, i'm not one of those pad thai snobs who went to phuket on vacation and now no Americanized pad thai is good enough for me. having said that, i was not impressed at all with the pad thai here. a big pile of noodles with little or no flavor except a sweetness that had a hint of the sauteed peanut butter from the chicken satay. the chicken was flavorless clumps as were the tofu. despite the bean sprouts, oily peanut clumps, etc, it was devoid of a variety in texture. I usually enjoy the the cool bean sprouts, the crunch of ground peanuts, the way the egg and tofu saturate with flavor, the acid and spice of lime/tamarind/pepper. ALL OF THIS was missing from this meal. $19 later, very disappointed since this was the highest rated thai restaurant in the area. despite this, will not be going back. Pad Thai is supposed to be the signature thai dish. I mean, it has thai in the name. if you can't do that right........?
