Tracy’s Supper Club

Our meal was wonderful, it was served promply and looked as good as it tasted. We both ordered double cheese burgers and sweet potatoe fries. The meat was outstanding. I can not wait to go back! They have fried chicken on wednesday. Mmmmm!!!

Tracy’s Supper Club is one three restaurants to be found in Norris IL (pop 209). Normally the distance from our home (45 miles) combined with the fact there is no direct route to get there, would be enough to nix a visit. However, an invite from our favorite family members and the promise of «the best chicken livers you can get anywhere» could not be denied.
Inside and out Tracy’s is clean, neat and welcoming. There is a large white rock parking lot and an entrance ramp that is handicap accessible. Inside there is a large bar/​dining area to the front with an overflow dining area to the rear. The front looks to seat about 50 people. (I never saw the rear area so capacity is unknown). There are several TVs scattered around the front.
When we came in we knew we were in trouble. The place was jam packed. Owner Tracy Modglin and her small staff were valiantly trying to cope with an influx of 30 (!) people who walked in just ahead of us, but you could tell, their hair was on fire. So yeah we were there a lot longer than we had planned, but to their credit Tracy’s crew while frazzled, never lost their good cheer.
All the entrees at Tracy’s is homemade and there is a special each night. The night we were there (Tuesday) it was chicken livers and gizzards. (Tracy told us that normally she orders 100 LBS of livers for the whole week and that she had gone through that amount on that one day). Some of that popularity may be attributed to a recent local TV spot called «You Gotta Eat» where Tracy’s business was highlighted.
Unlike my wife, I am not a huge fan of chicken innards, so I chose my old standby the homemade tenderloin. My sandwich (with fries) was delicious and generously sized for the price. However, when cousin Donna Jean (yes her family all uses two names) made that chicken liver promise she was spot on. My wife said they were in fact, the best livers she had ever eaten. I snuck one and even I had to admit they were darn good. Her meal, ordered with baked potato and applesauce provided more than she could handle so quite a few came home with us (I ate them cold for breakfast the next day so yeah, they were pretty good!) Our total bill with drinks $ 19 and change
Tracy’s Supper Club represents all that is right with America. Work hard, provide great value and good friendly service and the world will beat a path to your door. I know we will be back.
