"Get ready for an authentic, intimate Italian experience. From the food to the atmosphere, Timpone's is the total package for date night. Plan to sit and enjoy yourself, as the pace of the meal resembles Italian dining at its finest. And the food -- chef's kiss.  I have never had a dish that I was disappointed in. Heck, we've never had a night at Timpone's we were disappointed with."

RANTOUL

ET's Downtown Rantoul
107 E Sangamon Ave
Rantoul, IL 61866
(217) 893-0222
Team Member - Dakota Ruff, Buyer Specialist
"ET's has a wide, unique menu of takes on traditional American foods and more of a laid-back atmosphere. Their appetizers are to die for (get the chips with all three dips). From the burgers to the salads to the BBQ, you will find something to fall in love with. The Cuban sandwich with crack fries is an easy pick and the usual for me. They also have a large drink selection. Especially for you bourbon drinkers out there."
