Top 15 Budget-Friendly Restaurants Near You in Lincoln, IL

Andy Hilton The restaurant is fantastic, authentic Italian. My friend and I mistakenly tried to enter from the back parking lot and we were greeted warmly, led through the kitchen, and upstairs to the dining room. The feel of the place is cozy and family friendly. The food is reasonably priced, with a solid variety of favorites, and delicious. The arcade its in is directly across from Logan County Courthouse.

E J Our visit was delicious at this busy cafe! We stopped for breakfast while visiting Lincoln and we were well-received ... with good food too! The café was busy, but not too busy to not take good care of us! The pumpkin spice pancakes were amazing...and our egg dishes tasty! We got plenty of coffee refills to get us fueled for our busy day!

Crista Niwranski We go here often. We moved out of the county but still go to Daphnes whenever we can. We love the home cooked food, the family atmosphere and the family that owns it always make things feel like home.

Rajean Gallagher Rio Grande is a legend in the area. Authentic, freshly cooked southwestern cuisine in a beautiful, uniquely artistic space thats comfortable. Food options and portions for every age, and abundant accommodations for larger groups.

Robert Finley We were pleasantly surprised to find this place. We were passing through from St. Louis back home and was hungry. Chinese food sounded good so we thought wed stop in Lincoln. The outside of the building is very deceiving. Inside, it is very well decorated and very inviting. We started with a 6 piece order of Crab Rangoon-- they nailed it! It is SO good! Very creamy and the outside of it was just crispy enough to be good, but not too crispy or burnt. Each of our meals were very good, served hot, and we had enough to take some home. In Lincoln???....GO!!

E C Place was exceptionally clean and the staff was quick and friendly. Didnt take long to get my order and it tasted good. Recommend

Melissa Harris 6/18/25 This was by far the best fried chicken in Lincoln, not that we have many choices. It was a little bit spicy and got one bite that was way too spicy(Im a wimp), but it had flavor. Havent tried anything else. Hubby just brought fresh fried chicken home after work. I recommend everyone try it! I wish they cooked through dinner hours but it just got going I think.

Shonie B Hot fresh and delicious. I got tenders green beans and mashed potatoes w/ gravy. 10 out of 10

Heather Pollock A lot of food for under 9 bucks! Never disappointed when I order from Peggys! Deliveries are always on time, food is fantastic! Desserts are truly to die for!

Bart Davis First time in the Cafe and also first time to try the horseshoe Im from Alabama so I didnt know what a horseshoe was but I got the Philly Horseshoe and it was amazing and great cheese sauce.

Kevin Jones Nice small-town bowling alley, with a handful of video games and a couple pool tables. Pool tables were decent and, amazingly, only 50¢ a rack. Lanes were good and the atmosphere was great. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Bar has a reasonable selection of wares and was priced right. Overall, it was an excellent experience.

Peter Shaw Good food as usual! Great service and the waitress did a good job keeping the drinks filled. Had breakfast for lunch and the pancakes were so good. It snowed three inches and they could have shoveled sooner than noon. Really enjoyed the fireplace and slight fireplace smell!
