156 East — Restaurant in Galesburg

Fair. Fair food with high prices. Hamburgers are huge 1/2 pound and come with chips (potato chips). Frieds are extra and you only get a few. On the plus side the hamburger was good and cooked exactly the way I ordered it. There weren't many people there (us and another couple) for a Saturday at noon. This may be because there is little to no parking, which is why it took us months to get there and the sidewalks were really slick. The waitress was great, quick and friendly. The building is nice The menus were really dirty! They have daily specials but those too are expensive. There is a wall of TVs above the bar and a gambling game room at the front. There seems to be a huge supply of liquors with a lot of brand-name selections. Several seats at the bar and enough tables for a good crowd. All of the surfaces are hard and the the voices of the others there carried. I imagine it is really loud when crowded. There aren't many options in Galesburg so this place is...

I enjoyed a nice lunch there not long ago. I went to what I know, and that was the Italian Beef Sandwich. It was (and is, still eating it warmed up) very good, with a nice balance of spices being an Italian Beef Sandwich lover that I am. I asked for it in custom of any Chicagoan ('hot,' sweet, and dipped please,) but something maybe was lost in translation: I received my Aux Ju on the side and the gardinaire too. The sweet peppers were MIA, unfortunately. The fresh cut fries where yummy, at least the spices on the sammich were spot-on.

The facility is clean and modern. I understand this place hasn't been around too long but I like what I've seen so far. The menu looks interesting, but I prefer my Gyro or Falafel in split pitas instead of wraps. To me anyway, a 'wrap always will be a wanna be sandwich ;) Identity crises aside, I tend to be a purist for certain sandwiches.

They had some nice looking spirits too, but early in the day for me....

I went for my first time because gyro is on the menu I ordered drinks they were watered down I got the cheese curds they were very good but a tad to salty also got the stuffed grape leaves pretty sure the leaves themselves were out of can but it was still decent kinda bland though now this gyro I got was horrifically burnt to a crisp the meat that is just the meat it was so burnt it crumbled in my mouth so I'm thinking why would they send this out to someone I don't get it anyway service was ok but a bit to close just let me eat I don't need you at my table ten times in five min anyway two stars is all I can muster also the most important part is this if your in a wheelchair and it's busy then forget it because there is not enough tables for someone who is wheelchair bound and they don't keep a table free for someone who can't sit at one of those tall tables very...
