Classic diner in smalltown Illinois. The tenderloin was delicious, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was nostalgic. I will return!)

It is the only restaurant in town and it is very good. We grabbed breakfast there at about 7am on a Saturday. Food was excellent and staff were friendly. Portions were great. Price was outstanding....in fact, I would say very affordable. They only take cash which you do need to plan ahead on. But that also saves them some costs of doing business with that. But in today's world, probably time to add that or at least a venmo option for us modern folks.

Down home real food served by very friendly staff. It is like a big step back to the past. Small town atmosphere that is welcoming and they make you feel like a local. Everything is made fresh and just yummy. This is my third time there in the past few years. I live 3 1/2 hours away but come to visit cousins each summer. Tinks is a local icon.

Good small-town cafe. Good people with good food. Prices are no more than you'd find anywhere else. Just wish that they were open more hours, but I understand things are tight with the economy. Either way, Tink's is nice and simple.
