The heart of Jo Daviess County's premier family dining establishment
The Welcome Inn, located in Elizabeth Illinois, is a family restaurant/supper club featuring American and European cuisine along with a soup and salad bar. Chef Limani is always creating new dishes to feature with his specials. The Welcome Inn lounge, besides featuring your favorite cocktails, wines and beer, displays many local pieces of memorabilia that highlight the heritage of the railroad of past, Elizabeth fire department, and local farming of long ago. There is a early 20th century large wheel bicycle hanging from the ceiling. The Welcome Inn has a room for private parties that can accommodate up to 35 people. To reserve the room and learn about our banquet menus click here or call 815-858-2254. Dine with us on your birthday and give us a peek at your driver's license and your entree will be our gift to you!

Special Note: Many out-of-town guests enjoy the Apple River Fort, an Illinois State historic site that is located only about 100 yards from the front door and then dine at the Welcome Inn before they continue on their way.
