Depending on your age, you might remember Rax Restaurants, a chain that started back in 1967 and eventually grew to having more than 500 spots spread across 38 states, including Illinois. Rax doesn't have nearly the amount of locations that it once did, but if you're feeling nostalgic, there's still a single Rax restaurant left in Illinois and it's about a 90 minute drive southwest from Rockford.
Wineries can be some of the most beautiful spots to check out. I love them, and after digging for some of the best, my summer is going to be booked by checking out these high-praised wineries in Illinois.
One website claims that this southern Indiana restaurant is home to the best all-you-can-eat buffet in the entire state. Can you guess which one it is?
If you've never experienced a Voodoo Doughnut you are missing out. Soon you will have a chance to try one as the famous donut shop is making Illinois home.
