Spring Garden Restaurant

Great diner with food prepared fresh to order. Pretty extensive menu with breakfast lunch and dinner. Good variety of staples. Service was friendly and food was fresh. We will stop again if riding this way.

Had a Reuben
Only time I have ever had to eat one with a knife and fork, it was so sodden from sour kraut juice and the corned beef was shredded into tiny pieces.
The décor is dark and harks back to the seventies.

A friendly greeting begins your dining experIence. Reasonably priced, amazing specials tempt your palate. What raises this family dinner above the norm is the attentive service. Ruthie and Danny, the owners, and their server staff are commited to making certain every customer leaves satisfied. From breakfast skillets to the beer battered walleye special, from soups to sandwiches to full dinners, there is something you will like on the incredible 7-​page menu!

Hometown cooking that tastes so good!
Every time we go visit friends and family in the area, we eat breakfast here with my mother. We have never had lunch or dinner here, so I can only comment on breakfast.
Atmosphere: it is a clean restaurant with two separate dining areas. There is a small area in the front with a few tables near the counter area. The back room is larger with quite a few tables and booths.
Staff: all of the staff members have been polite, helpful, and attentive. They have been quick to attend to our requests and ensured our beverages were always full.
Food: no matter what we’ve ordered for breakfast, it was always exceptional! It arrived promptly at the correct temperature and in large amounts. The orders are large, so if you are hungry, you will be satisfied. The prices are perfect… I could pay the same amount at a fast food joint and still be hungry.
We will return as long as this place maintains this level of quality!

Spring Garden is a fairly new restaurant in Pana. There is also one in Taylorville, which has been there for quite a few years and has a reputation for good food.
The menu at Spring Garden is huge! They have a very wide variety to choose from — — seafood, chicken, pasta dishes, steaks, and a large breakfast selection as well.
The prices are decent, a little higher than you might expect a small-​town restaurant to be, but you get a LOT of food for your money! Be sure to come there hungry, and be prepared to ask for a to-​go box!
I tried the Walleye the last time I was there and it was very good. I have also tried their chicken, which was excellent. Others in my group tried the shrimp, the Chicken Parmesan, and the Liver & Onions. All were pronounced to be wonderful.
One thing I did not like was that there are no low-​fat salad dressing options. I would like to have a light ranch or french, but decided to opt for the Italian as it was not as heavy as some of the others. But other than that, it was a very positive experience and I will go again.
