Restaurants in Urbana

Perkins began as a single humble Ohio pancake house in 1958. More than 50 years––and 440 national locations––later, each Perkins restaurant stays true to its roots by keeping those signature buttermilk pancakes the focal point of a 90-plus-item menu. Cooks layer the popular flapjacks in stacks of two, three, or even five and make the fluffy towers all the more tempting with toppings such as glazed strawberries, whipped cream, or flavored syrups. Breakfast favorites—including hearty omelets and country benedicts—are served all day, meaning kids and adults can order short stacks to accompany their jumbo-shrimp or steak dinner, instead of smuggling them in under a stovepipe hat. Unlike most other chain restaurants, Perkins also features in-store bakeries that churn out the shop's real fruit and cream pies, muffins, and chocolate-chip cookies.

Mango's Mexican Grill and Bar's multitudinous menu of Mexican staples mixed with American favorites sates bellies with fresh tortillas and the delicious fillings that accompany them. Prime the palate with extreme nachos ($8.59) or Mango's taters, potato skins topped with steak or chicken, bacon, cheese, and more ($8.97). Starch-swathed staples include the burrito mexicano ($8.97) and the chori pollo platillo, a platter of grilled chorizo sausage and chicken topped with melted cheese ($9.89). Picky palates might enjoy a simple cheeseburger ($6.89), and culinary connoisseurs may prefer to abandon their PBJ-BLT hybrids in favor of the pollo ala pasta, breaded chicken breast stuffed with onion, cilantro, avocado, and cheese laid to rest on a bed of pasta teeming with veggies and chipotle-ranch sauce ($9.29).

The walls of LeDoux's Restaurant, which are honey-hued with well-loved patches of exposed brick, embody the warm, homey nature of Cajun cuisine. Steam infused with bay leaves, cayenne pepper, and andouille sausage spirals from cauldrons of jambalaya and gumbo. A fireplace pours forth its toasty affections in the bayou-inspired interior, where a fountain whispers softly alongside hanging plants that swing slowly over patrons like Tarzan during rush hour. At the full bar, mugs of Louisianan libations, such as Turbodog, Purple Haze, and Dixie ale, leave cool rings of condensation next to plates of fried frog legs and gator. Sated sighs drift from LeDoux's patio, where crackling torches cast orange accents on the liberal sprinkling of fleurs-de-lis that festoon the building and the staff's uniforms. On select nights, applause rolls over live musical acts and free-range shadow puppets.

Street Freakz Performance’s technicians provide extensive detailing to cars, trucks, motorcycles, and boats. Using buffers, wax, and carpet extractors, they return automobiles to the shining demeanors of their showroom youths. The shop also provides internal renewal through skilled maintenance and body work.

TJ Chumps' menu supplies sports fans with hearty helpings of amped-up bar food in an atmosphere appropriate for family WWF viewings. Whet a peckish palate with the buffalo shrimp ($7.50), five jumbo shrimp slathered in honey barbecue, Caribbean jerk, or hot wing sauce, before scaling the strata of the southwest turkey sandwich ($7.95), a sedimentary selection of smoky turkey, pepper jack, and lettuce with house-made chipotle mayo. Where disc-shaped fare is concerned, the Veggie Chump pizza ($11.95/$17.95) appeases herbivores, while the beefy Reuben pizza ($10.95/$16.95) gives the boost of energy required to colorfully converse with televised sportscasters and fictional spell-casters. Entree eaters can try the choice New York strip, with maitre d'butter and house-made smashed potatoes ($19.95), or the sushi-grade salmon dinner, with rice, broccoli, and a dollop of tartar sauce ($15.95).
