We have enjoyed eating at The Junction for several years. The food is always great and served quickly by friendly staff who also check back frequently. My husband had the new version of the Junction Burger and he said it was very good. I had a hot pork sandwich which was also delicious. The menu has so many choices and there is something for everyone and you can also get breakfast for dinner. The Cream of Chicken with Rice soup is one of my favorites and the best in DeKalb/Sycamore. Chris, the owner, is always friendly whether we are just arriving or when we are leaving. He always makes sure we enjoyed our meal. Great place to eat!Posted on Ted McCarronTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been going to the junction for over 30 years and absolutely love it there!
