Hawg Diner - Vandalia (IL)

3 /5 Betsy Ill: I was hopeful because usually these roadside bars have great food. Im not opposed to giving it another try, but it was meh. Pulled pork is so sugary I seriously couldnt eat it and Im not usually picky at all. Sides do not come with, order seperately. That said, the service was pretty good. Bartender kept an eye on me and was quick to respond. Average atmosphere of bar that serves food.

5 /5 Remote Hog: I went to see my favorite band in the Vandalia area again. I love Van Waylon Band, and any time they are close by, I go see them. They always pack the house. I really like watching them at the Hawg Diner because I can get me some cod nuggets (my favorite) and fries and then dance the night away. This place is small but their food is great and they even have daily specials. I do wish it was a larger space, but I still enjoy going and listening to my favorite band. The management and staff are always so nice, and I look forward to seeing them, as well as local friends. I hope sometime in the future, this place will expand the actual bar so there is more space for dancing. If you notice online and in local ads that Van Waylon Band is playing, do yourself a favor and go see them. They have a great variety of music like Classic and Southern Rock and Country music too. Never boring, and they have several singers. I say go to the Hawg Diner and try their food and check out the band.

2 /5 Jeanne Hatfill: We went for lunch after a recommendation of a friend. The appetizer we ordered was very good. (Chicken Tenders) $$$ The main entrees were Fish Sandwich and Ribeye sandwich. Fish was scant. 1 piece on a hoagie roll. Ribeye sandwich - Fatty and gristle and was not put on a hoagie roll as the menu stated. I asked the server about this and she said the cook said it was on a hoagie roll. It was not. I will not be returning...

5 /5 Louis Reed: Great food and great service and the company is great

5 /5 Scott Van Dyke: This is the only place I go to when in town for work. Diamond billiard table - best in town. Good drinks, and the staff here is wonderful! Always a great time. I will have to try the food here next time, but the menu looks pretty good. There are slot machines, video games, and a great jukebox as well.
