The Welcome Matt

Stop in here after driving by and seeing the sign outside display, Friday Bluegill! I had a plate full of the bluegill and Shirley had the fried chicken. Both were Outstanding. Service was very good and friendly. Will definitely be back.

Great service! Love cheap chicken night. All of the food is great, especially the friday fish fry. Drinks and service is super. Everyone treats you like an old friend.

Great small town bar with wonderful food! Classy looking place with a spectacular fish fry every Friday night (I love the perch and blue gill). I know many people that travel at least 45 to come in for the fish fry. However, it can get pretty packed with the crowds, so you may want to come in early.
The Welcome Matt switches between BBQ ribs and crab legs on Saturdays. I don’t think I’ve ever had the ribs, which I hear are great, but I can definitely say that the crab legs are! They also have other typical American fare… sandwiches, burgers, etc., and the fried chicken is famous! Good prices on all of the food.
Wonderful drinks and bar staff/​waitresses here to serve the patrons. I haven’t eaten everything on the menu here, but I can’t think of a complaint about the things I have had! They also have specials several days of the week (Wednesdays are Mexican Night). A great place to meet with friends and have fun, especially during Bears and Blackhawks games!
There is on-​street parking, a lot across the street, and in the alleyway in the back.
