Baby Bull's - Pontiac

Great Food. FANTASTIC service. Amazingly affordable prices. Our server Ashley was great. The manager was very sweet. The location is just off Rt 55, and on old rt66. Well worth the stop. Thank you.

I was driving on I-55 . It was a nice sunny day. I saw the sign for war museum, I took the exit snd had a great time seeing the war museum. I decided to had lunch and found this restaurant. The price was reasonable and had a great varieties of food to choose from. I decided to go with gyros. For some reason, I did not like it. It was very dry and tasteless. The manager was very kind enough to give me a 5 dollar discount. The waitress was very attentive and the service was great.

R.I.P. Jimmy...Credit of this obituary to The Pantagraph. Demetrios Jimmy Peter Letsos, 72, of Pontiac, passed away peacefully at his home at 2:48 p.m. on Tuesday, December 14, 2021. Affectionately known as Baby Bull, Jimmy was a life-long restaurateur and son of Tsipiana, Nestani, Greece. Born on April 9, 1949, the beloved son of the late Panayioti and Vasiliki Vasio (Kottaras). He married Janice Lindsay on May 26, 1982, in Glen Ellyn, IL. She survives in Pontiac, IL. Also surviving are two sisters: Katerina (Ioannis) Andrianakos and Ioanna (Ioannis) Bounos both of Greece; sister-in-law, Angeline P. Angie Sianis Letsos (late Tom) of Michigan; brother-in-law, Ralph Lindsay Sr. (late Marilyn) of Ransom; sister-in-law, Lisa Latino of Gilman; his right-hand man, Brian Sullivan; the boys: Duke and Malaka; his numerous cousins, nieces and nephews; his beloved Baby Bull 's family; and friends of many many more. He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Tom Letsos. Jimmy was educated in Greece, and moved to the United States. Like so many of that golden age of immigrants from Nestani, Greece, he left his mark on the downtown Chicago restaurant scene, working his way up from dishwasher to cook, chef and owner, most notably of the legendary Baby Bull 's restaurant of Pontiac, opened in 1982. It was his arrival in Central Illinois that clicked with Jimmy, charming customers with his quick wit, sarcasm and larger than life personality. With his loving wife of 39 years, Janice at his side, Jimmy quickly made a name for himself. In no time at all, he made farmers, businessmen, bankers, lawyers, judges, and everyday folks of Pontiac his friends. With his personality and popularity, it was only a matter of time before he became Alderman Letsos, where he certainly was not shy about expressing his opinion. He went on to open other restaurants within Pontiac, Gilman, and Lincoln. The only two things bigger than Jimmy were his heart and his generosity, which he displayed both publicly and privately. Each holiday season without fail, Jimmy and Janice opened their hearts and restaurant to invite patrons and friends to enjoy a free meal each Thanksgiving. Jimmy was a lifetime member of the Shriners Club and also a member of the FEZZ of the Shriner 's. He was a member of the Pontiac Masonic Lodge, and also served on the Pontiac City Council. He was an 18-year member of the Greek organization AHEPA. He was the National Golf Champion of B Flight in Myrtle Beach, SC,in 2012. Jimmy loved to golf, play cards, cook, and aggravate his staff. May his memory be eternal, and we proudly honor the American dream success story from Greece that showed the wonders and opportunities of this great country.

An inspiring family restaurant for your breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Excellent service, food, prices, and lots of options to choose from. They had Senior meals and daily specials. They earn and deserve your business. We were extremely happy with what we ordered and I wanted to try everything else I saw on other tables. There aren't too many places around these days offering such a good value. I also wanted to try everything I saw on other tables. Don't pas it up. Stop in today.

Friendy servers and good food. Nice calm and relaxed atmosphere. It's definitely a good place to stop at while traveling for dinner, lunch, or breakfast.
