Whether you’re a longtime local or just passing through Champaign County, this hidden gem offers something for everyone.

A Recipe for Success
MIXX165 is the brainchild of the Winner Family, who recognized a need for high-quality, locally sourced cuisine right here in Champaign County. After acquiring the building at 165 W. Sandusky Street in 2017, they embarked on a 16-month renovation journey, transforming the space into a casual-yet refined eatery. Their vision? A welcoming place where guests could enjoy expertly crafted meals in a lively, music-infused atmosphere. And that’s exactly what they delivered. With its rustic-industrial design, big-screen music videos, and a vibrant energy reminiscent of classic MTV days, MIXX165 has quickly become a favorite for foodies and music lovers alike.

A Menu That Keeps You Coming Back 
What sets MIXX165 apart? It’s their commitment to mixing things up—literally. While their core menu boasts familiar favorites like gourmet wings, specialty burgers, custom steaks, and chops, the real magic lies in their everchanging weekly features. From global-inspired dishes to delicious seafood creations, there’s always something new to savor.

Their dedication to quality is evident in every bite. Proteins are sourced from a sister company in Springfield, produce comes from a local Clark County warehouse, and partnerships with area farmers help bring their highly anticipated Farm to Table Dinner to life each fall. With a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, MIXX165 delivers a true farm-to-fork experience.

Beyond the plate, MIXX165 is a hub for live entertainment. Their live music series, running from December through May, showcases an array of talented musicians, providing the perfect soundtrack to your dining experience. And if you’re a cocktail enthusiast, keep an eye out for their themed drink menus, which roll out throughout the year.

Giving Back, One Bite at a Time 
At its core, MIXX165 isn’t just about serving great food—it’s about serving the community. Through their “Good Eats!” initiative, they’ve donated approximately $80,000 to local schools, nonprofits, and disaster relief efforts. Every month, they host dine-to-donate fundraisers, proving that a great meal can also be a force for good.
