We are Embe Eatery and Lounge, and we have been a locally owned and operated restaurant and bar in Galena, IL since 2011. We offer homemade deli style food, gourmet soups, sandwiches, and salads.

We have an enormous selection of regional and craft beers, specialty martinis, mixed drinks, wine and more. You can always expect a warm, friendly environment and exceptional service at Embe. Make sure to save room for the world’s best bread pudding – so we’ve been told…
"This is a hidden gem. Even some of the locals didn’t know about this place. The food was delicious. The seafood chowder was delicious. And the bread pudding was delicious. I will definitely try this place again."

"Embe has it all: chill, colorful vibes, sizeable portions of perfectly prepared comfort food and friendly, attentive service. Must try menu items: homemade soups. corned beef brisket sandwich with coleslaw... and you shouldn't leave without enjoying the bread pudding and a creative cocktail!
Katie & Charlie make sure you walk out with a smile."
"Good service, nice food, cold beer. Televisions, not loud. An ideal place for an evening meal."
"Linzie is the bee’s knees of bartenders! No fluff — just great attitude, amazing personality, and top-notch service. She made the best dirty (or should I say dusty!) martinis I’ve ever had."

"First off, I've been going here for decades. Secondly, my wife and I decided to stop by on a date today and this place NEVER MISSES. The service, the staff, the hospitality, the cute little atmosphere.. 10 out of 10 all day, every day. Today we had the Hot ham and cheese ( Pepperjack ), the Screamin' MB, a bowl of the seafood chowder, and a bowl of the chicken tortilla soup. The sandwiches are to die for. The quality of bun, meat, and love put into these are ridiculous. The homemade, YES homemade soups/chowders are the dare you to only have one bowl good. And to finish it all off you MUST HAVE the homemade bread pudding, or two! Not enough to be said about this eatery and experience. It is a VERY busy little place so please dont mind the wait if there is one, trust me ITS WORTH IT. You will not be disappointed, or hungry when you leave. *NEXT TIME I will get photo's, I always forget because I'm anxiously waiting for my tastebuds to go into overload*"
