Friends Grill - Avoca

This restaurant has a great location right off the interstate. The food was delicious, and the staff were extremely friendly. I would give it 5 stars, but we had to struggle through quite a bit of snow to get inside. The front cement steps were covered with over 3 inches of snow, and we were the only customers there. While the snow had stopped falling, it would have been nice if the steps had been cleared, especially since we were there for nearly an hour, waiting for our food in the back.

Best bacon cheeseburger I ever had and wife loved the alfredo too. Menu is above par for being a rural town and a refreshing find on the trip. We will be back the next time we pass by.

I'll try and be brief. Service was great! (New girl from the looks of it) The place itself was clean and organized. The food on the other hand... Only speaking on what I ordered, it was NOT good. The BBQ pork sandwiche with the pineapple and the Hawaiian bun... Just wasn't good to me, and the breaded mushrooms we're not great either, over done and just don't have the right process down yet. But I give it 3 stars because they are going outside the normal of your same old burgers and fries you can get anywhere. They are experimenting and I can't knock them for that. I'm willing to bet that the rest of the menu was amazing, I was just unlucky enough to try the things not yet perfected.

Stopped in for a quick bite off the interstate and had one of the best burgers in my life. My buddies and I will have to take a road trip back to try the Philly. Clean, superb service and a great time. See you in a few weeks. I want a shirt next time!

The food was good, but the service was somewhat lacking.
