Southside Hornet - Scales Mound

We found this place because we were staying at a VRBO in Galena and were disappointed in the price/quality of food we were getting at the establishments on Main Street . This place is great!!! The prices are outstanding and you get a huge portion of food. Salad bar is simple but has soup, simple iceberg salad blend, and a variety of toppings/ dressings. The pizza is good.. its just a thin premade crust but it had plenty of toppings and cheese. They had a pan crust that maybe they make, not sure we just got thin. The chicken sandwich was huge and the Parmesan Garlic fries were scrumptious. It was worth the drive for sure. Kid-friendliness: Family friendly for sure.

The burgers were very good . The crinkle cut fries are perfectly cooked . This place is not just bar food . They present a salad bar that was fresh . Macaroni salad was good . Pattymelt was very good . Everything is alacart, so it is easy not to waste food . Burgers 1/3 lb about $7 large fry $3 . And it was a large order salad bar with burger was $5 just salad bar was $8 .

Went for the first time me and my guy and we loved this place. He had a 1/3pd hamburger ? and I had crispy chicken sandwich ? with garlic parmation french fries ? ? wow and not to pricey. We will be back.?

Excellent drinks and food! Love the salad bar for lunch and the specials are always amazing!

Megan Williams is amazing. She was efficient and friendly, handling not only the bar but the tables in the back.
