"Breakfast Omelet 's tasty but overpriced. Pancakes ok, nothing special and of course, not realj maple syrup. Homemade muffins, if made that day, they 're are fresh. If not, don 't bother. French Toast Plain white bread, no vanilla, no flavor. Waffles sometimes good, sometimes burnt and was given a difficult time when we refused it Eggs Benedict just don 't! Their hollandaise sauce looks like Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion and has the same consistency. I doubt there 's any powdered egg yolk in it but there sure as heck is an abundance of salt. Home Fries No flavor, barely cooked not worth the carbs Grain Toast It 's worth spending the extra 0.50 for the Multigrain toast Lunch Dinner Soups on a scale of 1 10 most are a 4.5 5. One way I judge a diner is by the quality of their soups and sadly, their soup was better 20 years ago. Salads on a scale of 1 10 most are 5.5 6. While the onions and tomatoes in my last salad were fresh, the romaine lettuce was brown, limp and lifeless. Burgers on a scale of 1 10 I give them a 6 6.5. They 're usually juicy but, if you order a cheeseburger and ask for the cheese to be melted on the burger vs on the bun, they look at you like you have 3 heads and you 're told NO, we can 't do that and if you ask why, the server shrugs their shoulders. It 's a CHEESEBURGER that means the cheese should be melted on the burger, not the bun! I get that it means they have to clean a droplet of melted cheese off the flat top or grill but, it 's a a major pet peeve of mine French Fries If you like McDonald 's or Burger King shoestring fries, you 'll be thrilled. If you don 't, don 't bother ordering them. Broiled 1/2 Chicken on a scale of 1 10 I give it a solid 8! It 's always juicy and go ahead and splurge the 1 to have your broccoli sauteed with garlic oil. if you ask for garlic they 'll charge you 1 but in my book, it 's worth it. Linguini with Chicken Spinach why I foolishly ordered this from a diner I have no clue but believe me when I tell you, don 't waste your . On a scale of 1 10 I give it a 1.5 2. Perhaps the pasta was al dente at 10:00 a.m. but at 6:00 it was gloppy as was the gloppy and flavorless sauce which although it 's advertised as a light garlic and oil sauce had the Vaseline Intensive Care color and texture. This delicacy came with 4 paper thin slices of rubbery chicken and 4 leaves of what perhaps was once fresh spinach. Chopped Steak a big burger with lots of grilled onions cooked pretty much the way you want. Go for a baked potato and skipped their instant potato flake mashed potatoes. Decor They have not updated the restaurant in a good 30 years. The tables by the window are sticky despite them being 'wiped down ' as are the tables in the booths. On a scale of 1 10, Blue Bay rates a 5. Go for breakfast, have a burger or broiled chicken and skip anything and everything else."

"My boyfriend and I love driving around and finding new places to eat. We stumbled across Hubs for the first time and we were not disappointed! I had the 1/4 burger with added bacon, and they were very generous with the amount of bacon! Very delicious. My boyfriend had the half slab of ribs and was raging about how delicious they were! Both meals came with fries which we thoroughly enjoyed. We shared the buffalo wings which were very tasty! My only complaint is that about half the wings were slightly undercooked in the middle, but the buffalo sauce and the rest of the wings were delicious. Nothing we couldn’t eat around! I was not a fan of the bleu cheese. It was strange and not to my taste, but i am a picky eater so take that with a grain of salt. The ranch was standard. My other reason for a 4 star is because some staff were not wearing their masks correctly, which is concerning during the pandemic. With Covid on the rise, I would have liked to see staff wearing masks properly, especially in a food-service business. There were also some other customers eating in the store which goes against the current guidelines in Illinois. The food was very filling, we both had happened to eat very lightly the day we came across Hubs, so we were able to finish all the food, but definitely don’t come on a full stomach! We know to plan to eat light if we’re gonna head to Hubs. Overall, the food was fantastic and the service was good. A little pricey, about $40 for everything, but worth it. We will definitely be coming back!"
