"This place is a vibe! When you're walking down main street in Galena and pass this place you wouldn't think what's inside would be so full of flavor! This reminded me of a classic, small, Midwest hole in the wall bar with excellent service and a killer menu! Their coleslaw is house made, their pork is slow cooked over night, their house made horseradish sauce is perfect, AND they get their bread fresh from a local bakery every morning! I will eat here every time I'm in Galena! I got the Cuban Sandwich and my love got their PB&, with chips! Accidentally posted this review on a wrong account."
"Great little place. Awesome, happy staff!"
