My husband and I had dinner at the bar on a Saturday. Everybody was so friendly and the regulars introduced themselves. We started with the rav and broth, since we had never heard of it before. It is a local soup of ravioli (or tortellini in this case) and chicken broth. It was pretty good. We then split the southwest chicken wrap with sweet potato fries and we were both happy with the choice. Michele took good care of us. I would visit again if I were in the area.

Cabin Fever

Reviewed By Diane G

I always feel bad when I review restaurants because I am never very impressed with them. I had the special a Stuffed Pork chop and expected a thick center cut chop with a bone. I am not sure what I got, it was about two inches high and had stuffing and gravy which I had specially said I didn't want. A small scoop of potatoes and gravy and some canned green beans rounded out the meal. the chop was pretty good BIG the rest was standard fare, canned gravy. SIGH for some real gravy. My granddaughter had the Grilled Shrimp and a baked potato - gave the food an 8. My grandson had the kid's hot dog BIG definitely a jumbo dog and tasted like beef, had a large bun that might have been toasted. He had cottage cheese for a side.The service was a bit slow but friendly. All in all I would go back and try something else next time. This restaurant is near Route 80 and the price for my meal was under $10 not including the drink.

Dinner on holiday with best friend my wife. Smaller place with local charm. Barkeeper was friendly and greeted us on entry. Beer on tap was your normal industrial pulls, with a few notable crafts. Service was good, but I think the server forgot our order, or the cook was killing chickens, as the fried chicken seemed to take forever to get to the table. Large portions for a reasonable price. Actually two meals for us. Cannot complain too much. Recommended.

101 Supper Club

The 101 Supper Club is a bar and restaurant serving American food and Illinois Valley specialties like broiled cod with drawn butter, pork tenderloin, and fried chicken, family style. And everyone loves 101 specialties like fried pepper rings and Lyonnais

Reviewed By lanceo53

101 Supper Club is super cool...located in what's looks to be a former house, the place has been going strong since 1952. Located in the old historic section of town, right up against the railroad tracks. The place is usually jammed, so reservations are highly recommended !!! Food is quite good, service not so much...took a very long time after we ordered to even be served our appetizers...and then again as long to receive our main courses. The place was quite full of folks, and it appeared as if service was just about as tardy with the other patrons...so that was a bit of a disappointment. Very, very noisy...hard to hear over the din of the diners. Presumably that was because everybody was having a great time...but to me it was because the rooms are small, and the tables and booths are really, really squeezed in tight...too tight for my preferences.The ribeye was very good...the cod likewise...the Lyonnaise potatoes seemed pretty much like ordinary hash browns with cheese on top, certainly nothing to write home about and therefore would not order.Prices are reasonable and in line with the competition.Would I go back again, probably, but I would be sure to pick the day, and the time of day to go...to avoid the crush of people and hopefully receive a more prompt service of food.Thank you for the helpful feedback! We reopened the 101 a year ago after it closed in 2015 and our goal is to keep the tradition going of providing great service, food and drink at a family-owned supper club.Our busiest times are Friday or Saturday between 5:30 and 7:30. Any other day or time we have open tables and less noise. We hope you give us another try then! We will continue to work on providing better service and faster food, and would love to know if you notice the difference.

Just ate there for the first time ever. Heard many great things so we decided to try it out. We were so glad we did. Everything we had was amazing. Made your way bloody Mary's! Some had burgers and onion rings attached to them! We tried to giant pretzel as an appetizer and it was as big as our faces. 4 of us found it hard to eat the entire thing! Everything we all got was fantastic and we said we definitely need to become regulars at this place!!

I had high hopes after reading the reviews. We had a late lunch here after another restaurant, that we wanted to try was closed. Typical bar with dining area. The smoked brisket was dry and small. It didn't come with bbq sauce to help with dryness. My reuben meat was good, but it barely covered the grilled (underdone) rye. Fries were thick cut and nice and hot. Guess we should have tried burgers. Prices were reasonable, but I doubt we will be back.

Husband and I were out for a Sunday drive on this beautiful day in May. We were originally going to stop in Utica for a late lunch. So glad we didn’t and kept driving or we would have missed this place. Awesome food, wonderful service. Our waitress was super friendly. Their Bama Nachos were phenomenal and we split the Ruben. Generous portions. Can’t wait to go back and try the meat sampler.

Reviewed By Hobnail

What is really nice about this place is the seating in a screened area facing the street. It is "outside" without having people walking by and smelling the fumes of the garbage truck going down the street. Beer selection was good, but pricey. My salad was very different and enjoyable. Wife got a burger, which was cooked to perfection, but wife likes them burnt, so was not satisfied. Service was great and timely. Overall cost was higher than a tavern, but expected that. Recommended.Thank you for joining us, we are happy you got to enjoy the screened in patio. Our chefs love to create unique and delicious flavor combinations for our ever-changing menu! We are always happy to cook burgers to any temperature you prefer! We hope you can join us again!Best,Ryan
