Country Side Family Diner - Lewistown (IL)

3 /5 Courtney Kanton: Went in and sat at a booth. No greeting when walking in. There was mushy food on the floor underneath the booth that got all over my sandal. The cheese sticks were good. The chicken was good but kind of greasy and the mashed potatoes and gravy were dry and the gravy was more of a tasteless yellow cheese sauce type something.

4 /5 Lisa McCluskey: The perks of being a senior is the just for us menu. This diner has an Americana themed decor, which is so fitting with it being in the heart of farmland. I had the breaded catfish filet, which was battered with the lightest touch and fried to tender perfection. It was a huge piece that took up the entire plate. The senior plate came with a salad, green beans, baked potato, and dessert. At $7.69, it was a great value. You can also order breakfast anytime, and my mother ordered medium eggs that came with pancakes and bacon. The eggs looked like something you would see in an ad, beautiful. The pancakes were light and fluffy and the bacon was crisp. The total for two meals was $16.81, a bargain by any standard.

5 /5 Karley: Classic family diner food! Everything was delicious and service was great. Pancakes were perfect! We will definitely be back if we’re in town again.

2 /5 Jane Carman: Service is good but understaffed. The hamburger was good. Fries are frozen amd coated type that are extra greasy. The "catfish" filets didnt seem like catfish at all. I believe they were walleye. The filets were so greasy, they werent really edible. The salad was good. The menu says meals are served with rolls but are not. The chicken dumpling soup was good. Prices are fair if the food would have been good. The restaurant looked clean and there is plenty of parking.

5 /5 Prime TV: I was on my way to the airport and happened to notice this little place right off the highway, so I figured I’d stop in and give it a try. I’m glad I did. What a pleasant surprise. The diner was clean, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. As soon as someone finished eating, they were right there wiping down the tables. You don’t see work ethic like that everywhere anymore, and it really stood out to me. I ordered the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy. It was good, solid home-style food. I’d give it a strong four out of five, which is saying something. Portions were fair, the price was reasonable, and everything tasted fresh. The location is very convenient, just off Highway 24, which made it an easy stop without any hassle. If I ever find myself passing through this area again, I won’t hesitate to stop here. It’s well worth it. Good food, good people, and a place that clearly takes pride in what they do.
