Mattoon: Airport Steakhouse
One of my favorite lunch spots in Illinois is The Airport Steakhouse in Mattoon. KMTO. Try the tenderloin sandwich!! It's as big as the plate!

In Morris, IL ( http://www.airnav.com/airport/C09 ), one finds the Cabaret Cafe at the ramp for breakfast and lunch until 4pm (no dinner). OK food.
Arguably the best in Illinois is Pilot Pete's at Shaumburg near O'Hare ( http://www.airnav.com/airport/06C ). Plus, you get experience messing with every type of airspace out there (stay out of the Class B, and watch the TFR frequently or maybe now permanently over Soldier Field stadium at the lakefront). Excellent food, large variety.
Third, there is an awesome barn converted into a restaurant called Richard's Farm in Casey, IL ( http://www.airnav.com/airport/1H8 ), near the Indiana border on I-70. The restaurant is 1 mile away - call them upon landing, and they immediately send an employee to pick you up (and bring you back when done). Their Sun brunch is particularly noteworthy.
I usually take the kids to KMTO as Chad mentioned, but usually am pounding the TUMS afterward. Homemade onion rings and fried mushrooms, and their "Elephant Ear" giant tenderloin is their signature sandwich.

Richards Farm
The wife and I went to Richards farm in Casey, Il last Sunday for the brunch. It was all true about what has been said. The only problem was the concern for being overgross for the flight home! Highly recommended....

KMVN Mt.Vernon, IL has an EAA fly in breakfast every first Saturday of the month. They also have a restaurant on field. Visited there last Saturday and highly recommend it.

CJ's is OPEN at KBMI!!
This post serves two purposes...one is to announce that the new restuarant at Central Illinois Regional Airport (KBMI-Bloomington/Normal) is now open!! CJ's opened a few weeks ago, and is VERY busy, business is great, the food is great! Saturday and Sunday mornings are a wonderful time to come in for CJ's cuisine!
Part two...CJ's is located almost next door to the new FBO (Platinum Jet Center) at the airport. They will try to marshall you to their facility (happened this morning to a couple of RV's, and others), even though you are going to CJ's. If you follow them, YOU WILL BE CHARGED THEIR RAMP FEE! It aint cheap, and you won't get out of it.
CJ's has parking right in front of their place, and it's free! DON'T PARK AT PLATINUM for food!!!
