Dillon’s Pizza

Awesome pizza, great service! I went twice while in Galena, once for lunch and another time for breakfast. I will definitely be back! Also, be sure to check out the drink specials!

I went for the Wednesday night taco and beer special, 6 tacos for $ 5 and a $ 2 beer. The tacos were no better than Taco Bell. When I got the bill I was overcharged. I paid it anyway but left no tip, I think it’s a clip joint.

First, I’ve never had the pizza. And I wish they offered pizza slices to go. I have been to Dillon’s quite a few times for a beer, lunch and lately breakfast. Dillon’s is the quintessential knotty pine corner tap, which are prevalent throughout the Midwest. It’s where you would expect a chatty bartender or owner hanging out behind the bar, talking to customers, a cast of locals, maybe some decent bar food, and an atmosphere of camaraderie. Well, it’s not quite there.
Beers are available in bottles only, in a place that’s begging for a few taps. Domestic, imported or some local craft beers are the choices. I don’t really know if the bartender is really a bartender or a food server, so I’ve not ordered drinks. Staffed usually with two people-​one out front and one in the kitchen. They appear to do a lot of breakfast and takeout business.
The menu has appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, pizza and breakfast items. The skillet ($ 8.00) I had was pretty tasty, and the other breakfast items which have flown my me look good. Decent portions. I wish I could say the same for the lunch items. Kind of munchkin portions, and usually kind of thrown at you by the server. Prices are not bad, but I would not make this a lunch destination. Even the lunch specials ($ 6.25) I’ve had were just not worth it. There are quite a few pizza choices, but I know enough to know, I don’t care to drop $ 20 on it here.
So I like the atmosphere and the room. It’s one of those places which might cause you to think, «maybe I’ll open up a little place like this.» Off the beaten Main St. path, you will at least get a little time with the locals. And that’s a good thing. Great hours, too.

Great local neighborhood bar & grill with friendly staff and good food.

Great bar!!! Hope you run into Jack the owner while you are there. Super nice guy.
