Another airport in Illinois with a good restaurant is Bloomington (BMI).
It's right in the main terminal, offers great sandwiches and meals,
plus the airport is served by an ILS so you can go there when 
its no fun to do anything else.  Its called "Arnies".

As far as the DON Q is concerned, I was up there several times a few
years ago and it was very nice.  They have a stratocruiser they flew
in and were planning to convert into a museum/restaurant but I cant
say if they ever completed it.  I have only been in there at night,
but since then several pilots have told me horror stories, and that
they would never fly in at night... I guess the terrain is pretty
interesting.  Just make sure you make your approach nice and steep
and be aware that the runway has a definite slope making landing
uphill desirable in all but the strongest winds.
