[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1935842, member: 26283"] I don’t think anyone ever answered you. Yes. Both Jupiters are still around. The SW Champaign one is big, usually with a lot of seating, plenty of parking, and has games for the kids to play. It’s pretty easy on and off I-57 at Curtis for those coming in or heading out of town. Right next door is a new-ish breakfast place called Just Yokin’. It’s nothing exotic, pancakes, eggs, coffee, etc., but is perfectly fine, and gives another option for Saturday or Sunday morning beyond the old standbys like Marianne’s, Sammy’s and Original Pancake House. One downtown place I haven’t seen mentioned is Farren’s. They used to be on the west side of downtown, but moved to Walnut St, just a bit north and on the other side of the street from Esquire where Radio Maria used to be. Good burgers, salads and so on. My favorite wings in town. A couple places further East in Urbana worth seeking out on opposite corners of Washington and Philo: Huaraches Morleones is probably the most authentic Mexican in town. Really excellent. Not a huge dining area though. Boomerangs is a great sports bar with great bar food. Boomerangs shares a parking lot with the strip joint; I’ll let the reader decide if they think that’s a positive or negative. [/QUOTE]
