"Menards is my favorite home center. Overall friendliness and value is generally better than Home Depot or Lowes. Though Home Depot has the best rental pickup truck (it has an alloy bed)."

"This place is too "cutesy" for me. Also, it has only one mens bathroom stall for the entire place -- it needs about two more."

"Galaxy IPA and Big Muddy Monster brews are my favorites. The "take-home" growler refill at $9 is awesomeness embodied."

"Best BBQ in the region. Its even better than Pat's in Murphysboro. The brisket, the pulled pork, the ribs -- superb. Mostly self-serve, pay at entry, free ice cream."

"Beauty abounds in plentiful outdoor spaces. The wooden arbor is completely brilliant. Who knew?"

"The faux BLT called the TLT is tasty. Side potatoes and kale chips good. Gluten-free options are good as they get. The outdoor seating area is nice, but could be quieter."
