What are you looking for as far as food? Tjuan's obviously is Mexican, Peppercorn is finer dining than GM, GR, Applebees. There are a number of bars that serve food such as 209 (awesome burgers) Keg n Cork, Squirrels 71 bar (8miles north of town) but great food with specials like fish and prime rib. here's a few for ya.

there is the Southside restraunt on south 71, cattails supper club across from northwoods access.

for the drinks, I'd recommend keg n Cork. For the meal and the drinks together, Corner Bar (in Nymore) was a great place to go back in my college days.

Todd,

I would have to second TJuans for Mexican, great chips, 3 kinds of salsa, good margaritas (especially at happy hour prices) really good food at good prices, great rice! Peppercorn will cost you a few sheckles but well worth it, try a spicy bloody mary, yum! I would heartily recommend their Northern Spiced Steak with a side order of diver scallops wrapped in spiced bacon, as Borat says...VERY NICE! Tutto Bene is Italian, great atmosphere, very upscale, prices are really good for what you see, food is just so-so for me, not seasoned enough for good Italian but I am from Chicago which is the Italian food capitol of the US (ok maybe tied with New York) but I have heard that Minnesota folks like their food spiced very mild and not too wild. Green Mill is ok food, decent prices and a great view, sit outside by the lake if weather permits. Ground Round is good with fair pricing. Note: If you go to TJuans be sure to have good directions, kind of off the beaten path. Good Eating!

Anyone been to the "Hungry Bear" yet? I've heard both good and bad.

[Bobb-o]

Hungry Bear is very expensive for the quality of food you get. It is the same exact food you would get at the Marketplace Deli, but at like twice the price.

[big drift]

I have heard the same over priced and not so great taste, from as source reliable to me that I passed on going there the other day.

Who knows Hungry Bear may improve after the newness wears off and community feed back.
