This was a very busy place at 1 PM on a Saturday. I get the idea that this place gets lots of locals and regulars. These ladies were buzzing around like bees🐝. I've visited the other Studebacker's location a few times, and I was excited to visit this one as well. The only reasons I am not giving them five stars is because we received Chili that was burnt (which our waitress graciously removed from our bill), and because of my disappointment over the Tater Skins. I have had this dish at the other location, so I thought I knew what to expect. Instead, the pieces were very big and the potatoes were not seasoned. There is supposed to be a spiral squirt of sour cream covering the dish (as it is pictured in the menu), but I only got a small cold portion on the side in a small cup. The kitchen forgot to add bacon as well, which the waitress noticed, and she had to go get the bacon from the kitchen, so it wasn't melted in either. I must say our waitress was wonderful, however. She even put my food and drink into take home containers for me. Also, our bread was warm and soft. We will definitely go back, but we will not likely try those dishes again at this location.
Something I have had to add... This place does not have the technology to accept payments other than cash. There is an ATM however which of course will charge you a fee. TIME TO UPDATE YOUR SYSTEM...
Read moreDO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! Honestly don't know how this is 4.5 stars. Do not waste your money here. Food is god awful. I had a burger, the beef you could tell was probably nothing more than a frozen patty. I also had a chicken breast, by far the worst chicken breast I've ever had. It was extremely dry, and rubbery. I felt bad for my dog when I gave it to him, I could barely cut it with my knife. Also had chili fries, and the chili was tasteless and looked like wet dog food. And the cheese? It was disgusting. All stuck together, could lift it all off. I snuck a look into the kitchen in the back and saw a fridge with Kraft Cheese slices. 80 things on the menu but the kitchen is incredibly small and there's not many staff. Nobody communicated in the back which leads to believe everything is easily premade and frozen. They don't take cards, but have an ATM that charges a fee for taking out money. As well as the option to donate to a number of charities, honestly very sketchy. Feels like they're just after squeezing every penny they can out of you. Menu is full of pictures of the food to delude you into thinking the food is appetizing. Flies in the restaurant. Booths right next to a bathroom with the door left open left a horrible smell. Nothing here reminds you of good ole fashion country food. The only reason this restaurant stands is because it has no...
Read moreJeremy Cox hit it right on the head, I wish I would have seen his review before I decided to come here. The "Ribeye" if you can call it that was more fat than anything else and as flat as paper. The chili was probably the best thing out of the whole meal and it was about the same as going to Wendy's. The "chopped steak" is a giant Salisbury steak and the roast beef was not very very good, it taste like one of the microwave in one minute Campbell's entrees. I think it's just all of Urbana that's like this as most the restaurants we've been to here have been very disappointing. Not sure how it's got one of the highest ratings here, must be the all you can eat specials. Honestly, wouldn't even feed the meat to my dog, threw the steak in the trash instead. Wouldn't feel good about abusing my dog like that, hell the other one turned his head up at it and wouldn't even bother trying to smell it. Luckily one was a rescue so he'll eat about anything and part of the meal didn't go to...
