Not far from Airbnb this is a Chicago favorite that opened here in Normal just a year ago. Always a great meal & reasonably priced. Many of my guests like using the drive through as it is just minutes away. Cheeseburger, fries and the chocolate cake is to die for.

Sightseeing

This is a nice experience. The city started converting old railroad tracks throughout the area to a trail. Great for hiking, lots of trees and nature to view from a different perspective. Nice walking, biking & running trail.
