If you ever find yourself cruising on I-40 or I-70 right around the Illinois/Indiana border and you have a hankerin' for some good grub - you must track down the Marshall Family Restaurant. It is only a few minutes off the well traveled path.To be honest - I was not trekin' through, but was back home again in Indiana (insert state song here) for Easter visiting relatives and had the opportunity to partake in an incredible lunch.My uncle and I hopped in the truck and he opened his cell phone (yes cell coverage is there). Called the restaurant and placed our orders. Call ahead - YES! As we pulled into town my uncle was obliged to wave at everyone he knew - basically limiting his driving to one hand.We pulled into the parking lot and headed inside. After the obligatory hellos and introductions to every person in the place we sat down.The Restaurant was clean, a fairly good size, enough for a smoking and non-smoking section, all with that hometown feel. I was even advised that many wedding receptions and rehersal dinners are held here. =-)Here came lunch (pictured). Basically the equivalent of a Whole Fried Chicken and a Diet Coke. Cost: $6The taste - incredible. Light, flakey breading and batter, not too oily, and every bit of juice still there! Yet cooked through and through!I eventually found out that the chicken is slooooooooooooooooooooow cooked (deep fried), and if you do not call ahead it is about a 20 minute or so wait for this delictible treat!The service was small town - quick, friendly and efficient. Maybe because I was with my uncle and he knows the entire town. Who knows!All I can say is that I should have ordered another dinner to-go, but that would have posed a serious conflict with the left over Easter ham back at the homestead.

I sooooo want to give this place four stars, but I just can't. Some sins are not easily forgiven. But more on that later.There are two areas in the restaurant, the "dining room" area and the "grill area". As you would guess, the dining room area is a little nicer and formal while the grill is more laid back (and looks like a 50's soda fountain). As a side note, it looks like the dining area converts to a meeting or reception area, I encourage you to call for information.I had a chicken bow-tie soup with a cheeseburger and fries for a little over $6. Throw in wait service and a bottomless drink and this is a great deal.Except....My soup was warm and tasty, if not hot, . My cheeseburger came with a mound of hot, crispy fries. The bun was big and fresh. On the side was a fresh tomato slice, crispy lettuce, and a pickle. As a burger guy, I was getting a little excited.How can he not give them four stars you ask?Because the dream all came crashing down when I tasted the meat. Hiding under all of that goodness was a once (or twice) frozen, super-processed patty that tasted processed. The burger wasn't bad. But it was so close to being awesome that all I could focus on was that processed patty. Replace that patty with a lump of seasoned ground beef and we would be talking about my crazy four star review.Please do not bypass the Marshall Family because of this. It is a nice place to eat with a friendly staff and diverse menu. I will be back, this was just how I saw it today.

First off the family restaurant is on the spot, it's defiantly a small hometown diner. The inside may not look the greatest but who cares it was a great place to eat. I was surprised how many options that have for you to pick from. They have Mexican, seafood, Italy section, and then your usual diner meals. I started off with the soup of the day which was vegetable and I loved it. Then we had a appetizer of mozzarella sticks, which were decent. Then our meals of bacon cheeseburger and she had breaded tenderloin. We both enjoyed our meals, the price was very surprising of our total bill only being $23.xx. I would recommend to stop by sometime.

Got the roast chicken dinner. 6.95 for half a chicken, potato, dressing, soup, veggie.Now you're not going to mistake this for high French cuisine but that's not the point. A solid home style meal made only with ingredients your great-grandfather would recognize for a tenner, tip included. Good eats and a good deal anyday.

Wow. Typical small town restaurant my wife and I ordered the liver and onions. Yes I know, liver and onions. However, these might be the best liver and onions we've ever had. instead of just regular old liver with onions left on top, it was liver cooked with cornmeal, light cornmeal coating and it was fantastic. we also had fries on the side. Fries are very good. So if you're headed down I 70 near Marshall Illinois, and you want just a good old-fashioned American meal, try this place.

The service was awful we sat for 20 minutes before our order was taken, it took 1 hour and 15 minutes to get our food. We inquired about the time we had been waiting and we were met with rude behavior by the waiter, later on we found out the waiter was the owner's son. We walked out the door to go somewhere else and the owner chased us down and begged us to go back in, we agreed and then was charged full price for cold food.

We drove by the restaurant, looking to get some dinner. It looked closed, so my mom got out of the car and went up to the window. She looked inside and said that it looked to be closed down, permanently closed.

Rudy's Marshall Family Restaurant is as the ad in the local paper says..good food at a good price.. I am not just prejudice because I work there part-time now... because I have been a long time patron and most of my family has been also.. At the time one of the reviews came through in July 2010.. the family had lost a loved one and was temporarily closed down.. Many of the local restaurant owners and businesses help Rudy do some much needed updating and next time you order a burger get the steakburger... not too much on the menu is frozen or processed... yes if you want the 1/2 Fried Chicken Special on Monday nite or any other nite at unbelievable prices ..call ahead...it does take about 20 minutes..but many come in for conversation and in a relaxed atmosphere where Rudy comes out of the kitchen to share some of his stories on his large extended family and growing up in Mexico.. where he met his beautiful wife Ava.... They are the cooks in the kitchen soo... ya know they are gonna send out food in the BEST possible way... hope to see ya there.. come on by Rt. 1 and Old National Rd... Marshall..... Illinois...:)
