I was looking for a ball bearing and a thin jam nut wrench to fix my bike. They didn’t have either one, but I did pick up some nuts and bolts that I needed.
Fast service and founded what I needed.
Had a couple extra house keys made. Very fast, but it cost more than what they quoted when I checked out. It was worth a little more, not to have to go in a big box store.
Ok
This was absolutely the worst experience. Walked looking for an outdoor spigot and walked toward an employee and he and another employee saw us cing and they turned and walked the other way continuing their own personal conversation. Left and went to Big R.
Had few bad experiences with two of ladies who work on the registers, separate occasions, walk in behind a few people, everyone got greeted but me i guess their are not used to deal with that many minorities, once in the register didn’t even looked at me ,too bad is the only hardware store in town otherwise I’d took my business somewhere else. Over price.
3. JB Hawks Discount Tobacco and Vape
Address: 952 W Reynolds St, Pontiac, IL 61764 , Pontiac , Illinois , United States
I love being able to drive thru and the prices are on par.
Great prices and very friendly easy to get in and out of
Best gummies .
Big selection of tobacco products
Little high in price on cbd oils for the capes but workers are friendly
Great deals
I don’t understand why they keep the late-night girl Ashley there, she has a bad attitude every time I go there at night.
If you like cigars even a little bit, do not buy here. I bought one and it was dried out.
They say on their website they have a humidor, they do not technically its just a sliding cabinet with gel pillows in it.
I should have been a smarter consumer but wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and really wanted a cigar for when I got off work.
I am only rating them based on the cigar experience and I do not believe it was the brand of cigar either.
4. Walmart Supercenter
Address: 1706 W Reynolds St, Pontiac, IL 61764 , Pontiac , Illinois , United States
An excellent place for all of your wine desires. They have some beers for those that are not into wine. Offer several tastings of wines and are stretching out to add Bourbon.
Huge seating area with cozy chairs. Nice outdoor area for when the weather is nice. Fireplace inside adds a nice mood.
Plenty of parking. Owners are almost always there and greet everyone with a huge smile and welcoming spirit.
I can’t wait to visit again!
Absolutely loved it! Very friendly, fun and helpful. Hope to return soon!!!
Great people & atmosphere.
A little disappointed, for being a WINE store, they did not stock MARISA WINE.
To
Good wine…bad jokes.
6. Leo’s Tobacco
Address: 1714 W Reynolds St, Pontiac, IL 61764 , Pontiac , Illinois , United States
leos is a great place fpr your tabacco needs and some of your vape needs the staff are very friendly and helpful
Leo’s is great for whatever you need, typically
Good prices! Good service!
They let you smoke inside this store lol
They actually offer real cigars. Like the 20 dollars for 1 cigar from the Dominican Republic type cigars. I really like that fact.
Nice staff
Not a lot of inventory unless you roll your own cigarettes or vape. Lady had no clue about chewing tobacco. not super friendly. As I stated to leave she picked up phone and was cussing whoever was on it
Asked the woman working about pricing on a carton of Pall Mall and after tax it was 54 and change. I noticed they had some with 50 cents off so I asked for ten packs. It came to 52 dollar’s and change. I asked how that could be if it should be five dollars off and she curtly responded, I don’t set the prices. It wasn’t the answer to my question and I certainly didn’t appreciate her tone. Sorry but I will go elsewhere and buy them in the future!
7. The Cup and the Scone
Address: 213 W Madison St, Pontiac, IL 61764 , Pontiac , Illinois , United States
Coffee is wonderful & so many gluten free options for sides. Great atmosphere. I really enjoy grabbing coff6 with a friend here.
Great cup of coffee good service at the counter nice atmosphere the coffee is good flavor robust not over bearing to the taste
Always great
Very nice friendly atmosphere
If you’re looking for a honest review look no further because this place was great!! From great tasting coffee to nice decor and great staff working there
Great little coffee shop in uptown Pontiac.
These guys WANT to serve great coffee, but as far as I can tell have never had a good cup in their lives. They make their alt milks themselves and they completely spoil the drink. Suggest using national brands. Their style was a bit amateur. Using tap water for their drinks, poor ratios in the latte. Suggest reading the Barista’s Handbook as it would greatly help bring this place up a much needed notch or two. Great atmosphere.
We have been here off and on since they opened. I always ask for the coffee flavor of the day, as advertised on Instagram, and get a blank stare from the ever changing person at the register. My husband always gets the same thing, but it’s never consistent.
I never had been in there I had no idea what was going on and since then someone has got back to me about their place hoping I’ll return but not sure.
8. The Salvation Army 360 Life Center of Pontiac
Address: 112 N Division St, Pontiac, IL 61764 , Pontiac , Illinois , United States
Great place great food thank you to the cook who answer all qustion
Fast service!
Honestly best service I’ve ever gotten at a McDonald’s. Idk the guys name but he was super kind and our food was ready in less than 8 mins. He had green eyes i think
I gave 4 star they always make my order wrong. I just love the French fries
It’s ok just regular McDonald’s
It was a pretty clean location and our order was 100% correct. They have the new order yourself system inside and I love it.
The drive thru said “what do u want” instead of “hi welcome to McDonalds how can I help you”? We waited 15 minutes for our meal which was a sausage egg biscuit and steak egg bagel. Being a former McDonald’s employee from years ago I know it does not take that long for any of those sandwiches. The hashbrowns were cooked in old grease as they had a rubbery texture, and were tough. Poor score for customer service, efficiency, and quality of food.
Awful. Takes at least 30min to get thru the drive thru most times. And then the order is messed up.
The lady there rolled her eyes at me because ei asked for my mcflurry THAT I PAID FOR! She even slammed it down on my plate I was sitting in that line for 10 minutes waiting on hot cakes and a mcflurry but even after 10 minutes she can’t get my order right and act as if it’s my fault. I would not go there terrible place very mean and Moody workers…
11. Fogarty’s Garage
Address: 1100 N Division St, Pontiac, IL 61764 , Pontiac , Illinois , United States
Called with a nail in my tire and they got me in within minutes of me calling!
Great experience! Extremely friendly and helpful.
Very nice people. Fast service. Very much recommended.
Quick service and friendly people.
My wife went there for 4 new tires and the guy was very friendly and knowledgeable. I will be bringing all our vehicles to this place from now on.
Great staff
One week ago over priced and now I need to go back to get the same problem serviced. It is too expensive to have my vehicle towed to Chicago . Who gets an attitude when you are asking about what you are paying for.
This place is garbage. Friend of mine told about how they ripped him off . Rips you off by charging for storage while insurance company is working on the claim. A bunch of scumbags Avoid at all COSTS!
Overpriced local towing
12. Wally’s
Address: 1 Holiday Road, Pontiac, IL 61764 , Pontiac , Illinois , United States
I love this place, great homemade food, wolds cleanest and best bathrooms every time I went someone was cleaning. I even found a ester present from there! kind of like brass pro great for outdoor people.
Reminds me of a scaled down Buc-ee’s. Great for the area and lots to view and consider purchasing. Stop by and grab some goodies.
Wally’s takes gas station rest stops to the next level. The place is super clean, large variety of food, snacks, and beverages. They have fresh made sandwiches, popcorn, and coffee.
Great stop would have given 5+ stars IF YOU WOULD HAVE PUT SOME DAMNED TABLES IN THE PLACE. Why sell all this delicious food and not give a place to sit. Tired of eating in the car. If I wanted to do that I would have stopped at another fast food place.
Positives: very clean restrooms, good hot dog, good selection of treats (jerky!), one super nice guy stocking shelves. Needs improvement: many gas pumps not working (including the one we tried first, which didn’t have a “not in service” bag on it, like so many others), many ice dispensers not working, two of three staff members we interacted with were neither friendly nor helpful, and no place to sit. I realize it’s a gas station, but if you’re selling food, how about a few tables, even outside? We drove out of our way to check out Wally’s and had hoped for just a little better service experience.
Great place to visit when traveling on I-55 in Illinois gas prices were the best in the area fun energetic place to go and lots of variety of foods and drinks to choose from certainly a family stop.
Nice place but pretty unsettling that there was a grown male employee working in the food court trying to hit on my 16 year old daughter on March 5th 2022 at 1:55pm asking if she lives around here, then asking for her Snapchat and phone number. I am appalled!!
I was in a boxtruck and was politely told to keep it moving.
Looking good from the Highway but it’s not a truck stop, they will ask you to leave if you get there with a semi truck
13. Edinger’s Filling Station
Address: 423 W Madison St, Pontiac, IL 61764 , Pontiac , Illinois , United States
Simply the best family dinner in town. The staff is amazing and the pies are FABULOUS!
I eat here at least once a week. A classic breakfast and special kind of place. Best hash browns I have ever eaten.
Had Lunch, and it was very good.
Food was good. They were busy so our big table had to wait for a lil while.
Had the French ztoast really good.
Great place to eat breakfast or lunch.
Not a lot of parking unless you’re ok with walking across a street.
Great food, excellent service.
Only open till 2:00 pm daily.
Usually like this place. Today we had a super rude waitress and our food was not good at all. Wanted pie but the receipt was just thrown on our table before we could order. Mentioned it at the register and got a very bland “sorry”. Sadly I won’t be returning.
Wasn’t as good as the other time I went there
Was super busy, but 45 min wait when people came in after you….
14. Happy Hedgehog, LLC
Address: 741 W Washington St Suite #1, Pontiac, IL 61764 , Pontiac , Illinois , United States
Now I have not been to this station but I’ve seen the speed of these trains in the town of Odell. Definitely worth riding Amtrak on this line. I did calculation and it only takes Amtrak 10 minutes to go from Pontiac to Dwight which is 3 times faster than by car
Very well lit interior with modern design, everything is nice, clean and safe. There are overhead security cameras that keep an eye on the place. 2 family restrooms and a bunch of maps and travel guides. Much nicer than what I expected in a small town 🙂
Cute town, lots to do.
Unfortunately we were stuck outside in the cold waiting for an already way over due train. Hopefully they open up the interior station soon. There needs to be more suitable windblockage and rain coverage and seating outside but it’s a nice place. Effective for the minimal vistior.
Nice new building. Clean restrooms.
Seems to be nice. Amtrak said open at 7. Here on a chilly damp morning and door says open at 7:30. Brr ☹️

Loved my visit to this little boutique in Pontiac, IL. Good selection and enjoyed shopping all the deals. Will be back soon.
Great store with an amazing selection. Donna and Linda are both very friendly and extremely helpful!
I had some time to kill today before attending my grandson’s football game and I stopped in and purchased a few things mainly because the two ladies working there were so incredibly nice and good at what they do. And I will definitely go back. Prior to that I stopped in the boutique immediately next door to them and they had nice merchandise however no one bothered to speak to me
17. Indian Ink Tattoo
Address: 741 W Howard St, Pontiac, IL 61764 , Pontiac , Illinois , United States
I went in for a cover up of an old tattoo. Everything about the place is clean. Chris was great. He made sure I was satisfied with the cleanliness of the shop, asked how I was doing throughout the time I was getting the tattoo done, and to top it off he plays great music. I am very satisfied with my tattoo and will definitely be going back again.
Got my second tattoo of my life here tonight on the trusted recommendation of a friend. Chris went above and beyond my expectations. I drew him a sketch and he made it better than I ever dreamed. He definitely has a ‘light hand’ which means any pain was kept to a minimum. The shop is spotless and well decorated. The process was quick and professional. I could not have asked for a better experience and result! Thank you!
Travis wheeler did a awesome job on a bumble bee I had done and these little ghost tattoos my friend and I got together! I’ll definitely go back to him!
I am not going to stop contacting you until my tattoo is fixed! $350 for this tattoo and I can’t get touched up?! Outrageous! I will post about my experience unless my tattoo is fixed and I’m satisfied. If not, I will post my story of what’s going on. How you refuse to message back and im being denied touch ups even tho I was reassured by you that you would fix it. But now im making a formal complaint to the better business bureau. And be prepared to see my personal experience with you on EVERY social media I can. Absolutley the worst experience ive ever had getting a tattoo.
