Embe Eatery and Lounge
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. Our kitchen specializes in from-scratch cooking using quality ingredients to bring you our family’s delicious recipes. 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…

"Stopped in for a quick lunch with entire family. Food was delicious and well priced. Service was even better. I think my family or I interacted with every single staff member during our short visit, and every single one of them made us want to come back. They were overly polite im accommodating my 2 and 5 year old who had been out walking Main Street in the hot sun. Absolutely stellar."

"We were walking in town just taking in the sights. We came across your business and reviewed the menu posted outside. We entered and found an inviting environment and welcoming staff. We sat at the bar and had lunch, Hanna was extremely pleasant and top notch in her field. As a previous server in many establishments I look for that extra touch of professionalism when I am being served. Hanna did an excellent job at recommending additional items and what was the main selling item in the business. Hanna took time sharing drink specials and we felt like we had no pressure on us. When we are back in town we will definitely seek out this business and look forward to taking with Hanna again."

"Cute atmosphere. Friendly staff. I had Chef salad. It was fresh and delicious. Hubby had Embe sandwich. He loved the blend of flavors on the sandwich. Also had queso and chips with some of my favorite cheese. Would highly recommend"

"A must visit eatery and bar. After two days, 17 hours of shopping and wine tasting, this place was my home base to escape the crowded streets and heat. Thanks for a great weekend!"
