Award-winning Prime Rib

Every Saturday night we feature our unique Prime Rib special that was voted #1 in North Central Illinois. Locally-raised choice beef seasoned with fresh horseradish, garlic and our secret Prime Rib Rub made with locally sourced ingredients, smoked over hickory in our own smokehouse makes for a uniquely flavored cut of Prime Rib in 12, 14 or 16oz. Served au jus. Includes vegetable of the day and side choice.
