Decatur Dining

Students dining

A mile off campus, in downtown Decatur, you will find a wide variety of dining options from traditional American to authentic Thai cuisine. Downtown Decatur offers fine dining at the Gin Mill or Taproot, or a family friendly atmosphere at Coney McKane's. Just further north in Forsyth, Ill., you will find family favorites like Applebee's, Texas Roadhouse and more. Do chain restaurants not "float your boat?" Head over to the Beach House on Lake Decatur for views and seafood that will transport your straight to the beach.
