Bar Number 166: The Office On Main, Thursday, July 16, 2026
Here we are at the Office on Main in Morton, Illinois and there’s the mystery guest leading us in! His identity will soon be revealed if you just keep scrolling, scrolling and scrolling!
There’s the bar and we’ll get settled in and finally reveal the identity of today’s mystery guest star!
And here he is, this week’s luncheon guest star, Virgil Hargrove!
We last saw Virgil on our stop at the Country Saloon and great to see him and hang out with him again here at the Office On Main!
Virgil is the owner of Medical Resources Group Limited right here in Morton, Illinois. Here’s a link to their website. Always great to have Virgil along for the afternoon!
Here’s the pretty and friendly owner of the Office on Main, Kimmie, delivering a Budweiser tall boy. We’re off to a fantastic start in here!
We checked out the weekly specials and placed our luncheon order. There’s Kimmie putting the order in and now I’ll take some photos while our lunch is being prepared.
Here’s a shot from the other end of the bar and there’s the eight beers on tap behind the bar.
AS you can see from these photos, this is a very well stocked bar!
The Office On Main was established in 1968! Here’s a timeline of other things that happened in that magical year.
There’s a nice dining area opposite the bar.
Meanwhile, back at the aforementioned bar…
Lunch has magically appeared!
Virgil and I each got a salad. Virgil got the Bacon Chicken Ranch salad and I got the Smash Salad. These are giganzo salads!
Virgil said his salad was fantastic and the Smash Salad was absolutely delicious.
This is one of the weekly specials and it’s a salad with chopped up smashburger, lettuce, onion, shredded cheddar cheese and tomatoes. I had them hold the tomato because I’m not a tomato fan.
It’s served with their smash sauce and it’s one of the best salads I’ve ever had in my life!
This is a special menu item only, so follow the Office on Main facecrack page to see when it’s available. You have to try it out!
After lunch, I took a stroll to the back door and checked out…
The back patio area here.
Wow, this is the perfect place to relax with a drink or three on a lovely summer afternoon or evening!
And now, ladies and gentlemen, I proudly present, my right foot on the Office on Main doormat!
Thanks to Kimmie and everyone at the Office on Main for a wonderful lunch and fun afternoon!
And thanks to Virgil for joining me as the special and mysterious luncheon guest star!
