Decatur (Illinois)

With multiple locations in the area, Krekel's is famous for its thin burgers and custard, but serves all sorts of American food. Depending on the location you choose to eat at, you can also see a cow statue, a giant metal chicken, or a modified vintage muffler man.

Family-owned restaurant offering American interpretations of Italian classics. Hot and cold sandwiches, pasta, and lots of made-from-scratch bread. The takeout menu offers spaghetti and meat sauce sold by the half gallon (two liters) for about $20 and a family-size salad for $10, so if you've got your own plates and utensils, you can serve four people for $30. For dine-in options, expect to spend $10–15 for a big sandwich at lunch and $15–20 for pasta at dinner ($10 for child-size spaghetti with a small drink).
