Arrived on a Sunday at 1:15 pm. The Brunch was still being served, but looked a little on the dried-out side, so we opted to order off menu. My husband had the NYStrip ($30) with baked potato. He thought the steak was a little on the small side, but said it was very tasty and cooked just right. I had the grilled Chicken Breast ($22) smothered in tomatoes, onions, cheese & a sauce along with baked potato. The chicken was very tasty and I really enjoyed the toppings & sauce on it. We both had salad bar with our meal. I loved the salad, but husband did not care for the mixed kinds of lettuce. The pea salad and pickled beets were excellent, but didn't care for the broccoli salad. There were plenty of things to choose from on the salad bar. The baked potatoes were huge. Our meals also came with the best little cinnamon rolls. We each ordered water with our meals and the bill came to $57 , plus tip. The service was just average. We will probably make the 90-minute drive once again in the summer to try something else off the menu.

Stopped by one night recently before departing on Amtrak the next morning. Very cold night in Galesburg (5 degrees below zero low that night), but the restaurant was nice and warm, though not crowded. Staff was very friendly and courteous; service was excellent. Main course (pot roast) was very good as was the salad bar, portions large; unfortunately no room left for dessert... Prices were reasonable for quantity and quality of food.
I have dined there several times over the years and food and service have been consistently good/great over those years.

We have eaten here several times. We have also gotten carryout while in town and had food delivered to the college. Each and every time has been exceptional! Our college student has LOVED having food that isn't loaded with carbs and is healthy. Over the visits we have had various steaks, salad, cinnamon rolls, cheesecake, and each of the different sides. I highly recommend this restaurant. I don't know why you would eat anywhere else.
On certain nights they do deliver to Knox College, but you need to call to find out. I believe it depends on how busy they are. We have really appreciated being able to send great food to our student from afar. We sent pizza once and Packinghouse the other times. The Packinghouse food was the favorite!

The calamari was smelly, couldn't have been fresh, we ended up dumping it. My parmesan crusted steak was dry and my husband didn't care for his pot roast. The loaded mashed potatoes weren't bad and my husband thought the salad bar wasn't bad either. The server was accommodating even though the food was disappointing and we tipped well. The bill came to nearly $100 with tip. We won't be back.

We decided to try carry out from The Packinghouse last night and were glad we did. My wife had the pot roast dinner and I had the prime rib Saturday special. I am always a little hesitant to get prime rib as a carry out but this was superb. Cooked to perfection and tender. The pot roast was melt in your mouth good. Portions were quite ample and included their famous cinnamon rolls. Prices were really reasonable for the quality and quantity of food received. We will definitely be back. Hopefully for a sit down dinner when this virus crisis is over. I highly recommend giving The Packinghouse a try even during this difficult time.

Got to the train station with plenty of time to get lunch. Couldn't have chosen a better place as they had gluten free bread to make a sandwich for my celiac spouse while I enjoyed their signature Bourbon burger. Would definitely go back when in the area.

It is a nice atmosphere, and has good parking. I didn’t order the Premier steak, but had some prime rib slices on Texas toast and potatoes with gravy. There was almost as much gristle as there was meat. The soup was excellent.

This was my first time here. When we got there, it looked like a neat place. The service was slow, but it was a busy night. I had ordered a ribeye and it was just, meh. I don't think it was worth what I paid. My partner ordered the Prime Rib, and it was not the greatest either. I also noticed the menu was all over the place. I was under the impression that it was a steak house, but had a menu more akin to a Greek restaurant...everything and the kitchen sink. At one point, someone ran up and took our "Specials" menu since they were incorrect. When we asked for a new specials menu, it was completely different. So, all in all, we had a good waiter, but I'm not sure I would go back.

The ambience is super cool. I'm a local and have gone multiple times over the years. The food is exceptional, and the staff are great. It truly is a place you will never walk away disappointed (or hungry).

Went here for lunch on a Thursday and it was easy to get a nice booth in the back. Fantastic atmosphere and interesting decorations. Salad bar was fresh and the lunch specials had variety.

Did the Mothers Day buffet. Had to wait 45 minutes even with a reservation. Great food and the servers were really working to clear plates and fill glasses.

Just enjoyed an excellent dinner at the Packinghouse.
Just love the gigantic salad bar, which in itself can be the basis for a meal. The balance of the menu is strong. Nice little bar, too. Bravo Packinghouse!

I haven’t been to this place for 5 years. Granddaughter wanted to try it since she’s in college nearby. Probably the weirdest service experience in a while. I asked the waitress how she would rate The steaks tenderness prime rib versus fillet. Said she didn’t know never had one doesn’t have any idea She served Granddaughter specially drink seven dollars. Didn’t taste right asked waitress what was in it waitress said I don’t know whatever the bartenders decide to put in it. Said she was a part-time schoolteacher part-time waitress unbelievable. Food was a 2 -3 salad bar wars at 3 -4. Service was shocking. Not wasting calories on mediocrity anymore
