Bergie makes the mainstream media!

I was kind of underwhelmed by the variety of eating places in Galesburg, particularly near the tracks.

Galesburg is not a hotbed of truly fine dining but the Packinghouse has definite charms -- it is very near the depot, it is in a former Swift plant and has many of the features of a working packing  house, and it was rail served as various maps and photos on the walls attest.   Relatively few windows would permit a view of the tracks however.  It is not fast food -- it is sit down food with a good salad bar and the bartender makes a decent gin martini.

I'm an IHOP fan myself.

We had a reservation so we could look out the window.

....IHOP sounds good for their breakfast fare.....We do have a rather new one here in Muncie and visit it occasionally.

The best breakfast place that I have eaten at is a place called (unusually) "Just Breakfast", which is a bit of a misnomer as they also are open for lunch.  The gravy that they make for their buttermilk biscuits is A-1.  (Probably a cholesterol killer too, fortunately not a problem for me).  I don't know how many establishments they have, but I know of three here in the San Jose area.
