About Us
About Us
After a two-year search, the Forciers found their home in Antioch, Illinois, moving here in December 2019 after falling in love with the area’s lakes, parks, peaceful atmosphere, and charming Old Town feel. Since then, we’ve built lasting friendships in our neighborhood and formed strong connections with many of the local business owners who make this community so special. We are passionate about giving back to our town and beginning a lasting legacy of restaurants here in Antioch. Toasties Soda Bar is a reflection of our core beliefs and our deep love for food and celebration—values that have always been at the heart of who we are. We raised our family in Lake County, and that sense of community will always be a part of us. On behalf of our family (and Charlie, our family dog), welcome to Toasties Soda Bar—where we blend the nostalgia of yesterday with the progress of today.
Four Pillars
"More than eating"
Bold Flavor & Innovation
Toasties isn’t your average sandwich shop. Every bite is a carefully crafted fusion of bold flavors and fresh, high-quality ingredients. We’re not afraid to push boundaries—our menu is a flavorful journey designed to excite, surprise, and satisfy. Get ready for a culinary adventure you won’t forget.
Intentional Service & Spotless Standards
Service at Toasties is a way of life. We pride ourselves on “attention with intention,” making sure every detail—from greeting to goodbye—is handled with care. Our space is clean, sharp, and thoughtfully maintained to create an atmosphere of comfort, appreciation, and genuine hospitality.
Different and Exceptional
At Toasties, we refuse to blend into the background. We craft experiences that are both nostalgic and bold, offering unique flavor combinations and unforgettable service that set us apart from any ordinary sandwich or soda shop. From signature sandwiches built with unexpected ingredients to dirty sodas that surprise and delight, every detail is designed to make people say, “You have to try this.” Our originality isn’t just a marketing hook—it’s a commitment to innovation, creativity, and raising the standard of what a quick-service eatery can be.
