★★★★☆ 4.0 Sweat Less Travel · Jun 2025

Rigo’s and its predecessors have been at this location for many many years. He’s a well-known chef and generally does a good job. We were happy to be able to get a table at a good restaurant on short notice on Friday to celebrate two wedding anniversaries in our family. Today’s meal was very good if not spectacular. French onion soup was a bit watery, the clam sauce was very tart and the salads were average. On the plus side, however, the ribs were good, the steaks were very good, the dessert was delicious, and the service was absolutely first rate. We would certainly come back here as we have a few times a year for many years.

Absolutely great experience! My husband had the lamb shank, I had the half duck and we shared the escargot as an appetizer. Food was amazing, we personally did not care for sauce with lamb but the meat was tender and tasted great. The staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant was very clean. Extremely satisfied all around. Will visit again when in the area. Highly recommend.

Had the tilapia and crab cake.. Of course with champagne sauce, excellent. 11/8/24 Back for the crab cakes in champagne sauce and crusty bread with real butter. What is stopping you from trying this restaurant? It's excellent. Rigo's special offers a chicken breast topped with a crab cake and champagne sauce. Served with a side of mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables, it was incredibly flavorful. There's a reason it was named Rigo's special. We also had Chicken Marcella and chicken parmesan, which were quite good. The menu is much more extensive than listed online, with a list of daily specials. You owe it to yourself to try this one, many times!

Warm, clean, bright and comfortable. Rigo's place is a welcoming and friendly establishment. The woodwork adds a warm and welcoming style to a well done dining room and bar. Tastefully decorated with well selected artwork and accents. A wide and varied menu provides quality choices for everyone. Pasta dishes are cooked and seasoned properly and served hot. Steaks, seafood, salads, soups and desserts. A selection of special offerings are provided as well, in addition to the regular (large) menu. Warm bread and butter is served tableside in a covered basket. The well appointed wine list and quality liquor choices makes Rigo's Place a great spot to quaff a few adult beverages in a great atmosphere. The kitchen pays attention to the details and that is a strong point here. The service was fas

After having a bad experience at another restaurant we ended up at Rigo's and oh what a difference. We showed up 5 minutes before opening and were welcomed by a very gracious host. The place is very clean and classy. Waiters were super professional. Food was delicious. I ordered sea bass and my husband got the tenderloin. Bread was great but the salad was only one slice of tomato and one of cucumber with a bunch of lettuce. Great music. We're from out of town but if we ever go back to Kankakee we'll definitely eat at Rigo's again. The menu has lost of options to explore. Parking lot was large. By the way, they speak Spanish!
