Sheridan is a lovely place to stop when you've decided to get out of the city and see some of the beautiful IL farmland. The Old Mill Tavern is an authentic country restaurant old tools and memorabelia that have been on the walls for years, plastic table cloths, and a menu that mainly consists of fried chicken, fish, and burgers, with cole slaw and macaroni salad for side orders. I had 1/4 light (Perdue) chicken. MMMMM crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The coleslaw had a little too much onion for me, but it was crisp, not soaking in a bath of dressing. Service was slow, and even the regulars were surprised at that. So, leave you diet in the city and enjoy the scenic ride along...
Out in the middle of nowhere. It's an old-school bar. On the weekends, they feature a fried chicken dinner special that is sublime. Nothing fancy. Nothing pretentious. Just incredible Fried Chicken--the colonel be damned. Never et anything else there, except the onion rings, which were as good as the Chicken. And they serve a great iced tea in a great big glass. And it's not going to leave a hole in your wallet either. Service can be slow, but hell, this is a small town-TINY town, actually--It's adagio all the way, so slow your roll honcho and take your time. Worth the ride, trust me... btw, They feature steak on Tuesday nights that's rumored to be as fab as the Chicken for $10
We have been going to the Old Mill for over 4 years now. They have nightly specials. My favorite night is Tuesday (Steak Night). They serve a sizable steak for under $10 with a baked potato. Wednesday night you can buy a taco shell bowl for $5 or other tacos. Friday night fish fry is also good. It is a very casual setting. Sometimes I join my group in work clothes. The staff is personable and works hard to make your meal enjoyable.

I've been going to the Old Mill for the last 40 years. The place has not changed much, which is part of its charm and It has the best fried chicken around. It's well worth the drive to check it out.
