    Food was amazing and I loved the atmosphere. If you are looking for real good food in southern Illinois this place is it. Specials are made fresh, definitely start there!

    My all time favorite restaurant, the food is flavorful, savory, and to die for! It's a bit noisy but if you don't go during a rush hour it's not so bad. Friendly staff who make you feel very welcome.

    It's all good but my favorite is the ranch dressing! Check out specials and it's cheaper than eating at McDonalds! Love all staff too!

    It was an absolute treat stopping here. The quesadillas were amazing, the pizza was great- a little salty for me but I dont eat salt much so I could taste it, and the clam chowder was fantastic!

    Montana mignon was tasty. After seeing it, I wish I would have ordered bone-in ribeye. I had order envy.
