Hardin Drive In - Hardin (IL)

5 /5 Tim R: The food was amazing. The salad was simple, but amazing. It wasnt a gourmet salad by any stretch, but it was so good. Then came the catfish fritters. Holy smokes were they good. I had some plain and they were top notch. I tried some with tartar and onion and they were top notch. Our server was the nicest, friendliest young woman. We wanted for nothing. And while we waited for our food, we watched the cars cross the bridge, and boats tooling up and down the river. I wish I could give 10 stars; cant wait to go back.

1 /5 Kathy S: I have visited this place 2 times. The building is newer so it is bright and clean but that is all it has going for it. On both visits (which were a couple of years apart) they have forgotten to cook one of our meals. And the waitress avoided coming back to our table once the error was realized. We left without getting the food and the staff didnt seem to be very apologetic or show much concern. Needless to say that there will be no more chances.

4 /5 Sarah Lisa Wall: I rarely eat at places like this, and I was pleasantly surprised. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the fried chicken and the catfish fritters were very good! They were served hot. The meat is juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and has just the right amount of seasoning. The pieces are reasonable and the portions are generous. Service was good, restaurant was full, and the waitress was covering the whole floor. The only drawback is the restaurant temperature is cold.

3 /5 Steve D: First time here. I saw a sign out front showing they have Hunt Brothers Pizza. I saw two more pizza signs in the entryway. Yet, they do not serve pizza! It was nowhere on the 6 page menu. Very disappointing. So I ordered a $7 cheese burger. No side is included, thats another $3,75 for fries. Food was ok. Not good, but not bad. My wife had the patty melt. She said it was a 7 out of 10. My dad had the catfish sandwich. He did not enjoy it. Waitress was friendly and prompt. As she handed us the check I asked why they have pizza signs all over but do not serve pizza. To my surprise she said they do serve pizza, but you have to ask for it since it is not listed on the menu. Kind of silly if you ask me.

5 /5 Alysia Kojak-Schardan: Clean restaurant, clean bathrooms. Food was perfect! Food options for everyone! Service was promt and courteous! Food came quickly as well. My kids had multiple options for the shakes. Prices are very fair. We live an hour away and just happened by this place...we will make the drive to come back!!
