Nestled up on a small hill sits an old home surrounded by beautiful flowers and sits on 40 acres of land. This is known to locals as Diamond Mineral Springs Restaurant. Located in Highland, Illinois at 1 Pocahontas Road you will find the finest family dining adventure of a lifetime. The old home's decor has beautiful antiques, including a stove that dates back to the early 1900's. Your greeted with an old fashion warm welcome when entering this restaurant. Choices on the menu are many to select from including their world famous fried chicken, baked chicken, ham steak, pork steak, fish, shrimp, and various steaks. Your meal is served family style beginning with cole slaw, beets, fresh biscuits, and apple butter. The ham steak entrée I ordered covered the entire dinner plate. It was deliciously smoked and so tasty. The dinner was served with mashed potatoes, milk gravy, green beans, and applesauce. The feeling of an old fashion Sunday dinner is definitely the feeling you receive while dining. The prices on the menu which is located on the walls of the restaurant range from $9.95 to $15.95 depending on your selection. To further add to this marvelous dining experience you must try one of their foothi meringue pies. Chocolate and banana cream are my favorites. Diamond Mineral Springs may be a little out of the way for most travelers, but if your ever visiting this area you must make a trip here to enjoy a wonderful meal, and don't forget to bring your appetite.
