    This has got to be one of the worst places to eat. The flavor wasn't there and we had to doctor it up to even have it somewhat palatable. The chicken and brisket were extremely dry and not even covering them in sauce helped. You're better off going to McDonald's. Will NEVER revisit this establishment.

    This is the absolute WORST bbq I’ve ever had in my life. The mac n cheese had no seasoning whatsoever, the baked beans tasted sour, the brisket tasted like chemicals, the chicken was so dry and flavorless, the mac n tomatoes were very watery, the bacon wrapped sausage was burnt to a crisp to the point it couldn’t be eaten even if we tried. The only side we got that actually tasted “semi-okay” AFTER we seasoned it up ourselves, was the potato salad. We came from out of state for a graduation and got this food and ended up going to get fast food afterwards instead. Extremely disappointed that we spent $88 on this nasty food.

    Breakfast with Santa food was good but could have been warmer. Butter wouldn't melt on the pancakes or the waffles. Coffee was good and fresh. Plenty hot

    I ordered a full rack rib dinner with baked beans and fries Ribs had no season and it says smokehouse but no smoke flavor.Did not care for the beans .These were the 2nd worst ribs ever eaten in Illinois. The price on the menu was different the the prison the receipt it was like $2 more than the menu price.i did not say anything just wanted to be gone.I brought the leftover ribs home and my grandson ate on rib and said yuck we threw them away.The waitress was a good server with tip it cost me $45..I will never return.The worst ribs was Fridays restaurant in Effingham.
