Complete disappointment! We got there at 1:15 pm and they said that they were closed. According to the Yelp posting they are supposed to be open until 2:00 pm. We had diverted all the way in from I57 specifically to dine here. When I asked the lady what time they actually closed at, the answer more-or-less was "it depends, but you're usually best get here before 1:00". Suggest you call ahead before driving all the way into Mattoon like we did. read more

This is a great find! I got a taste of Bimini & the Bayou by way of The Keys. This atmosphere is relaxing, with Jazz playing softly in the background. I can't wait to come back for the great service and excellent cuisine! read more

See all

I was there two days ago. Food was very flavorful and tasty. They prepared it fresh. I had catfish creole.

Wow, so delicious! I had the Creole and chopped salad and both were absolutely amazing! Very flavorful! Just YUM! read more
