I agree the service can be slow but not the norm. We pass by The Rafters on our 3 hr drive to our hunting cabin in Galena from NW burbs of Chicago. And when we get to stop for dinner at The Rafters we're so excited! Every dish we have tried there just keeps getting better and better! We had the filet minon and the UNBELIEVABLY UNIQUE artichoke and spinach dip smothered chicken breast with real grated cheese. Holy Mother of God! SO GOOD! The time before that I ordered the hamburger of the week or month? It was....get this...a CAPRESE burger! Mozzarella, tomato and balsamic vinegar but with pesto! Such a refreshing newness to a burger. Now what the heck and I going to order now that I have several faves!??? Don't forget the haystack onion rings! Their chef(s) seem to be among the best! Thanks Rafters! We love you! Chuck and Gina
