Fast, friendly service at a locally owned restaurant makes for a great meal experience. The Fish Wagon has that nailed!! Everyone in my party had the fish 'n chips. It was made to order and was piping hot when it was delivered to the table. The fish was perfect. The breading was crispy and the fish was flaky. The fries were well-cooked. The 3-piece portion was very generous.

This little place is the middle of no where Illinois has the best fish I've eaten in a long time! Seriously, if you're driving down 1-74, it's worth the little detour!!!
