Very good food and really good ambience service and it's delicious .. good attentive service.
Best breakfast food in Belvidere! Been to other places for breakfast but none better than Uncle John's! There cinnamon french toast is awesome! Service is excellent! And the atmosphere is very comfortable. Plenty of space between tables.
Excellent food and service. Good old fashioned food like my mom made so many years ago. I enjoyed the biscuits and gravy. It reminds me of depression era foods that were leftover from the past when my parents were growing up. I highly recommend going there for good quality American cuisine.
Great restaurant, amazing service and ownership, delicious food! Lobster Ravioli is YUMMY!!!
This place has been a Belvidere staple for many years. They are under different ownership. The food quality is, and has always been great. Service is usually very fast and efficient, but like all places today, that can vary, as it is harder to get and retain staff. But the only complaint with this restaurant is, the pricing. It's a little like going to buy a new car. You never know what you will end up paying. Start with the menu. It lists 2 eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast at under $7.00. It actually is around double that. There are also various add on's they charge for, like using a credit/ debit card. That is not, listed on the menu. I understand the business pays a fee for accepting credit transaction's. However, there are quite a few benefits. First, you do not have to make change with a customer. Not many people realize it, but banks charge their commercial customers a fee per roll, for getting coins. You do not have to count the money, and balance it with expected receipts. Nobody has to take the money to the bank to deposit it, which is a safety risk. A lot of businesses use a service like brinks, which is an additional cost. Credit/ Debit transactions are posted to your account within 24 hours. Cash transactions will depend on when you get the money to the bank, and they count it. On a holiday weekend, it could take 4 days. Most smart businesses might adjust prices 2-3%, if they wanted to pass this cost on. But penalizing customers for using it, is short sighted. And the menu- I am sure there have been quite a few customers who get " sticker shock" from this. I have talked to the owner on a number of occasions. He has complained about how slow they are, during the week. Seems to me, running senior specials during this time period, might help him out. Embracing technology, like credit/ debit cards, is a must. Being honest and forthright by having a menu that actually reflects your prices, should be a given. Belvidere has lost quite a few restaurants since the pandemic. The Stellantis plant is expanding and will be bringing in a lot of new jobs. Your future should be secure. Be honest, and transparent, and the loyalty of Boone county will support you, for years to come. Had a reply from someone who says the menu prices are correct. Unless they printed a new menu while being closed for their plumbing issue, this is not true.
The owner is so so nice. He let me use the private room at NO charge for my sister's Celebration of Life/Memorial. Had a special menu with five choices made for me for the event. I love the atmosphere, servers and of course the food. Everything was delicious. There were no problems, everyone was served what they ordered with just a bit of mistakes. But when you have two servers taking orders for 25/30 people there are going to be slight mistakes....for instance pickles on the side when ordered no pickles......no big deal. I wish I could give 10 stars since the staff and owner went over and beyond what I would have expected. When in the Belvidere area I will be eating at the Steam Plant and I suggest everyone does also.
Breakfasts are their best meal. Love the hash browns and egg dishes. Stir fry is good for lunch. Good for a quick meal in town. I'm sorry to see that they stopped serving dinners, but maybe they will get back to that in the future.
My wife brought me here after I had testing and had to be NPO for the morning. We got breakfast which was amazing. We're new to the neighborhood and this is luckily down the street. Many choices for food and lots of good sounding things. I went with biscuits and gravy, my go-to. My wife is vegetarian so she chose the veggie skillet. Lots of historic decor have a good atmosphere. Glad we live nearby because we're gonna try this place more often!
Super duper friendly staff! Great food too, especially the mashed potatoes and gravy!
