About Us

The 101 is a historic, midwestern supper club, meaning it is a restaurant and bar family-owned for generations, open only for supper, serving homemade food and old-fashioned cocktails. The logo reflects the location. The 101 is found at the bottom of the hill on 1st st in LaSalle, a few feet from the railroad tracks.

Our goal is to provide great food and service in a fun, welcoming environment. We serve the Illinois Valley favorites like pork tenderloin, fried chicken family style, and broiled cod with drawn butter. Customers also love our specialties like hand battered pepper rings, Lyonnaise potatoes, and our Bacon-wrapped Scottish Salmon. Patrons often order a manhatten cocktail before dinner and finish with a Brandy Alexander or Grasshopper ice cream drink for dessert.
