Niemergs Steak House
Jun 15, 2009 by Fred from Champaign
Overall Rating: 2
Food:[1] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[2]

• You can't think of anything !

“We were told by some friends? That this was a really good steak house to eat at. Boy did they pull our legs, they must of meant it sarcastically ! The service was fair at the best. The salad bar was a 5/10 rating. The steaks were small tasteless, grisly. The bread was also pretty much tasteless ! The drink glasses were small and took forever to get a refill, after we had to ask for a refill. And were given a kind of strange look when we asked. If you want a real good steak. Don't go here !”

Niemergs Steak House

Overall Rating: 8
Food:[8] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Like a lot.
• Sometimes it gets crowded but only because it's such a popular place.

“We've stopped there every time we go to Florida and that's every year for ten years. Good food most of the time, good service, good bar, good value.”

Taco Rail
Sep 20, 2007 by Josh from Effingham
Overall Rating: 4
Food:[3] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[8]

• The place still smells great, and it's kept very clean.
• Horrible service, lackluster food for too high a price.

“This USED to be one of the greatest places in the state to eat. No longer so. I continue to go there out of nostalgia, but to be honest, the food is just plain bad anymore. The last time I was there, the girl at the counter didn't speak to me. She held her pen and stared at me like I was interrupting her. The only time she said anything to me was when she told me the total. Almost 5 bucks for 3 awful tasting tacos. I've had better tacos in the cafeteria when I was in school. Whoever took this place over has destroyed my memories of The Rail having great food, great service, and a great time. My Dad first took me there when I was a young child. My children will never walk through those doors. They love tacos, and I don't want to ruin it for them.”
