Default Geneseo and Galena IL food/drink?

Taking a group up the great river road, and looking for a biker friend place to have dinner at in Geneseo IL, and then lunch the next day in Galena, Il. If anyone knows any cool places to stop and eat please chime in...

Can't say anything about Geneseo But Galena is a nice town. If you like historic places at all give Galena some time. There are several nice places to eat right on the main drag. I am bad, can't recall the name but one was a bar that did lunches at the south end of the "strip".

Gotta stop at Poopy's Pub n Grub/ motorcycle shop/ tattoo shop (all in one) in Savanna, IL. Really cool biker place and they have a bike night with bands every Friday. Yes it's spelled Poopy's lol. Also, the Iron horse bar and motorcycle museum down town Savanna, IL is a neat little place to see. This is all near rt 84 which is a beautiful ride along the Mississippi river. We just took a 4 hour trip out there last weekend from NW Indiana. Have fun!

+1 on Poopy's. In Galena I recommend Vinny Vanucchi's Little Italy and the Market House for lunch. Both are on the main drag. Vinny's on the south end and Market House more towards the north end. One of the coolest main streets you will ever see! Enjoy...

Roy's Taco house in Geneso just off of 82 as you are entering town would be a good option for you! There are a couple of others places downtown, but I always liked Roy's. They have a full menu if you are not in the mood for Mexican...

I grew up there, but haven't been back in a number of years.
