This Family Restaurant In Illinois Is Worth A Trip To The Country
Since 1892, Diamond Mineral Springs – a venerable family restaurant in Illinois – has been serving its home-style meals to hungry patrons. In fact, its steady stream of loyal customers over the years has made it the oldest continually-operating restaurant in Illinois.
Diamond Mineral Springs began its existence as a health spa in 1870, after a man searching for coal struck a spring of water with a purported “high standard of medicinal properties.”
Meals are served “family style,” with hot and cold sides to share and pass around the table.
No matter what you order, be sure to save room for dessert. Diamond Mineral Springs’ selection of postprandial delights is exceptional and includes several types of pies and cakes.
Diamond Mineral Springs’ lengthy track record of satisfied customers speaks for itself. Even so, you had better pay a visit for your own edification (and satisfaction). For more information, take a look at the restaurant’s website.
Since you’ll be visiting the small community of Grantfork, why not add another charming Illinois town or two to your itinerary? Alton, for example, isn’t far from the restaurant.
