Testimonials

On 2/9/2025 Vivian Parry had this to say:
Embe is at the top of our list of favorite places in Galena. We (husband, sister, and brother-in-law) have lunch there regularly. The food is fresh and delicious, and the owners and staff are all such caring and kind people. We recommend Embe all the time to visitors of our charming town of Galena.

On 1/21/2025 Charles George had this to say:
Wife and I both had the Cuban. Good sandwich, nice crunchy diced pickles, although I did expect a little more of a bite from the horseradish Dijon sauce. Bread pudding was a nice way to end the meal and we agreed it was delicious. Service was good and would definitely recommend.

On 1/21/2025 Michael Rathsack had this to say:
Given their high ranking, I am not sure they need another review, but we have to add our vote. Always friendly, always comfortable, and always great sandwiches. My wife loves the option for a small sandwich, an idea that more restaurants might be wise to emulate. And I always take home some of their homemade bread pudding.

On 1/16/2025 James Andersen had this to say:
I love their soups!!!! Also sandwiches are the best! Staff is very pleasant and the food arrived hot! Drink specials have to be the best on Main Street! Whenever I'm in Galena my plan is to stop by and enjoy a great lunch or dinner.
