Weezy's — Restaurant in Hamel

On our way to Peoria my son asked if we could get something to eat. I pulled out my help app to see what was up the road. Ironically when I first seen it I thought it was Wendy's.

We took the exit and parked behind the building. An old building with some character. We walked in and set at the bar. These are the old school mounted round seats with a red top that spin. Anytime I see those I expect some a great breakfast, just like grandma used to make.

When we saw Weezy's was open and didn't have many customers, we had a sinking feeling as we walked in. We found a seat, and the waitress appeared seemingly out of nowhere. A 3 piece fried chicken dinner was the special, and it was excellent! The service was nothing short of amazing, the food was great, and the prices were decent, too. The old pictures of the area from the early 1900's were a nice touch, and the use of signs from long gone restaurants and bars made for a home-like touch. If you're in the area and hungry, skip the rest and...
