Farmers Café

This restaurant is a great family restaurant. The service is very friendly and it has a great small town diner feel. The food is delicious. I love that they still have a salad bar. The only reason I didn't give all five stars is because the salad bar could have been a bit fresher. Otherwise, all of the food was wonderful!

it does not matter what you order in this place, you will smile with every bite! the food is always top notch. servers are friendly and you never have to wait for a refill. the wrap around driveway makes it convenient and there is a fuel stop across the street. Tonight they had blueberry cheesecake. Absolutely to die for!

Fantastic food. Owner waited on me cause waitress looked over me and helped a 4 person table that came in after me. But nevertheless the owner saw it and came and served me throughout my dinner. I had the country fried pork chops with mash potatoes and salad bar. Delicious food. I’m a driver and there’s a Truckstop across the street. I’ll definitely come back. The owner is on top of things. Very appreciative for his service. Thank you

Very nice place, clean and wait staff was very friendly. Reasonable prices and food was hot and very good.
Would recommend.

Absolutely hands down the best cafe I have ever ate at! Soup was to die for and my family said they were just as pleased. Amazing job by chef and staff 🙂

Very welcoming staff. Food was very good. Will go there again.

1031 hrs. just filled my truck up with oil and fuel next-door to Casey's. Didn't realize this place was here pulled over parked gas station next with my semi. Walked in there was a group of about 12 people. They are the Sacred Heart church they meet here on Tuesdays and Thursday mornings quite an energetics group very friendly. We joked and laughed. Really appreciate you all, I have a really nice salad bar here and soup is included. It's a better healthy meal for me right now. I'll stick with this plenty of room to take a nap across the street. If you're a truck driver of course you can get fuel they're my discount was from Casey's, thanks to everyone in the neighborhood. It was a very enjoyable visit and I haven't even left yet. The Sacred Heart Church said this is the place.

Got the ham and cheese omelette with hash browns. Very good!

Great small town restaurant with good food. Coffee is good & had the Texas burger. Soup larger than most restaurants, too.

Great traditional Midwestern Cafe breakfast. I hade the Greek skillet very good

I try to stop whenever I'm commuting from Iowa to Indiana for work. So do a lot of my coworkers. The Farmer Cafe is very well known at Hardi North America as a "must stop" for excellent atmosphere, great service, good prices, lots of great food, and all those "sinful" desserts in that pie case. For as long as they're open when we pass through, and for as long as we're traveling, we as a company will spend our money there.

I found this place by accident while WB on i74. The signs along 74 said truckers are welcome.

Unfortunately, and this is not the Cafe's fault, the lot where trucks used to park was seperate piece of property, not owned by the Cafe. That lot got sold and the present owner has it blocked off. There is room for 4 to 6 CMVs as long as the drivers are not mere steering wheel holders, but rarher real truck drivers.

Any how, the food is great, and the deserts are worth the visit alone. And the waitress I had is delightful.

Eat here!!!!!

Lastly, how can one not eat here when you consider that Morher Teresa's picture is hung upon the wall.

Small town cafe. Friendly staff and large portions for the price. 2 large pancakes with two eggs cooked your way and choice of meats with a coffee was around 10-12.00

Stopped by for a lunch break from the road. I ordered a BLT and it came with soup and salad for $7 & husband ordered a Pony which is Central Illinois classic but heart healthy it is not. Service was great and my sandwich was served as requested, no mayo and on wheat.

Great, high quality food served in generous portions. Everything is fresh and fast. There is an amazing salad bar on weekdays, and there are always multiple specials. Mickey and crew know what they are doing. This place is a blast from the past that will bring back memories of the classic diner you loved. Quiet, with that small town but diverse atmosphere.

The Reuben sandwich is amazing and you have to try the baklava and the pecan pie. There is no better hamburger and fries in Central Illinois!

Was on our way home from nashville to wisconsin. Stopped to get a bite to eat, Cute little place in the middle of nowhere. But thank goodness it was there because we were hungry and thirsty. There were 4 Of us, We all had something different. The food was excellent the amount of food was wonderful, They had a fresh salad bar that was excellent very fresh and a lot to choose from. The woman that waited on us was wonderful very informative. Restrooms were very clean. We would eat there again.

This was exactly what we were looking for! Friendly, welcoming staff even though we were just passing through. Generous portions, lots of choices, easy access to the highway, reasonable prices, and breakfast was excellent. We had the gypsy skillet, French toast, omelet, and chopped steak. Would definitely recommend!

So many choices! The staff are friendly, and the coffee is exactly what I needed during this leg of my road-trip. Spacious dining room.

Great breakfast, lunch, dinner spot. Fast service. Good food. Close to interstate. Lots of parking. Big dinning room.

Old fashion style just like I love. Great prices, great menu, great flavors, huge amount of food.
