• The food (if you get what your order) is great!
• Service.

“I visited Silver Creek for a happy hour event (half-priced drinks and appetizers). After having eaten at the restaurant a couple of times before for dinner, we arrived for happy hour at 5:30 and finally waited on (i.e. given water) at about 6pm and were able to order about 6:15. Once we ordered, our waitress returned to tell us that the half-price deals were over at 6pm and since it was 6:15 we could no longer take advantage of this special. Had we been able to order soon after we arrived, this would not have been a problem. Once our food did arrive, it was not what we ordered and some of it was cold. Typically, this restaurant has good food, but the service is horrible. The waitresses in the greenhouse (where we were seated) acted like we were inconveniencing them if we asked for anything (like silverware!). We will not be returning.”

Food:[10] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Food, ambiance, prices.
• Crowded.

“There aren't many restaurants to choose from in Rantoul, so once a week my family and I drive over to Champaign - Urbana and pick out a place to eat. Lately, it hasn't been much of a decision process, as we just keep going back to Courier. With food prices skyrocketing everywhere else, it's amazing the value you can get for your dollar at Courier. And the food is great! I've tried numerous things on the menu (which is large and diverse), and have yet to be disappointed. Their kids menu and desserts are out of this world. My only complaint (a small one) is that they can get pretty busy during dinner time.”

• Absolutely nothing.
• Worst dining experience ever.

“Father's day brunch with 11 people, 86 degrees in atrium, could not use butter on buffet because it had melted. Manager insisted AC was working, it was just hot out. They had ceiling fans but they were turned off because they blew hot air. Charge a one year old for a child's buffet, she had a roll. No one attended to food on buffet. Beef cut and left to dry out on a cutting board. One of the worst dining experiences in memory. Everyone in room complained and management was well aware of the problem before we arrived. Management should have alerted diners to problem before seating and try to make other accommodations. Their solution was to keep packing people in and not taking responsibility.”

Hot Wok Express Inc

Food:[8] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[6]

• Taste and price are good.
• Atmosphere is non existent.

“It's not fancy. You order at the counter. However, it's a college student's dream. There is usually about 10 15 available entrees at any time. Most are hot and pretty fresh, although they are pre cooked. Definitely good tasting. The best part is the price. Usually under $6 for fried rice, meat/veggie entree, and egg roll. Atmosphere is pretty depressing but it's clean and they just remodeled, so it might be better. Service is quick and usually friendly, unless you get the older lady. She is not too friendly, but at least she's quick! Go in, take out, and eat at home.”
