I went to the 9th Street Cafe in Highland, Illinois for dinner on Friday and ordered the spaghetti. Big Mistake!! It's really really terrible and I expected much better than the overly sweet flavorless ketchup-y sauce and watery spaghetti that they served me--and I was HUNGRY--I hadn't eaten all day! It was so truly terrible that we put it in a box and tossed it in the back yard for the raccoons. I couldn't bring myself to eat a third bite and only took the second in the spirit of investigative journalism--I just couldn't pan it after one bite--but a third was out of the question!! YUKKO!!!
In all fairness, the cream of chicken with wild rice soup was delicious--and if that was all I'd had this would be a rave review. Their chopped chicken salad with house dressing (no substitutes) is truly inspired. They also make a really great hamburger along with sweet potato chips and homemade regular potato chips. They put together a good breakfast with great menu choices. The menu is diner food and the atmosphere is small-town diner but friendly fast service, delicious iced tea and a small but nicely done menu selection make this a winner in Highland--just don't get the spaghetti!!
