Beer choices, which include Beck's and Budweiser, aren't big here, but nobody seems to care because they're more concerned with getting their hands on a half-pound burger, king of the Moody's menu. How widespread is the reputation of the half-pound Moodyburger? "I'd say from Joliet on the south to just this side of the Arctic Circle," says owner John Moody. Other food faves are the steak and pork chop dinners during the winter months. Share what the bar calls "the biggest salad in town," which is served on a silver platter.
Inside, it's dark, really dark. The wood-paneled bar has rusty rifles and cow skulls nailed up behind it. The snug dining area has wooden tables, each with its own bowl of peanuts.
Fireplaces burn in the winter, and every table has its own bowl of peanuts. "The basic idea of Moody's is it's a place where people go not to be seen, but just to have conversation," Moody says. Why is the bar so dark? "I don't know if anybody can be romantic under a strobe light or spotlight."

We went around 10pm on a Friday night and it was very crowded which I thought was a good sign. The outdoor garden is great--it's spacious and comf...
