    Kankakee was fantastic as always. Appetizer was huge (sweet potatoes waffle fries with blue cheese crumbles) and came out fresh. My steak was done perfectly and the brussel sprouts with honey were *chef’s kiss*.

    We had a very nice dinner tonight. Our waitress was excellent. The drinks from the bar were good and we didn't wait very long to get our food.

    Wish they would bring back the Bison Ribeye. The Ribeye is just not the same but always enjoy it here.

    We went for the Surf & Turf special and was very good. Portions we just the right size to fill you up with feeling stuffed. The lobster may have overcooked just a bit but still good flavor and the filet was very good.
