    Mashed potatoes with gravy
    Frank T.

    Started things off with a blended lime margarita that was huge... I had the chopped steak with blue cheese sauce on top with mashed potatoes and green beans... the steak was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside... The blue cheese sauce was a little salty but acceptable. .. the mashed potatoes were creamy and tasty with the gravy. The only problem was the green beans were way over cooked! My friend had the deep fried catfish with green beans... he said the catfish was cooked perfect but said his green beans were also over cooked. Both our meals came with soup... I had the split pea and my friend opted for the clam chowder. Both were very tasty. Service was prompt and good... Atmosphere is your typical neighborhood bar type eatery.

    If the place is busy, expect to wait for service... a little over an hour before food will be on the table. Food can be hit or miss. The pancakes and hash browns were served a bit blackened today. But the country fried steak, sausage gravy, and cinnamon apples were very yummy.

    Ooo and bendy straws

    Stumbled upon this hidden gem. I don't know what I love the most - the eclectic vibe, giant mugs of coffee that made me feel at home, or the absolutely delicious skillet I ordered. Loved everything about our visit and service was great too!

    Stopped at this place on the way home from a Bears game. We were greeted right away and told to seat ourselves. Place was really clean and motif was very eccentric and eclectic. The menu includes a large variety of options with daily specials. Prices were incredible and portion sizes great. They also have a full bar. Are server was very good. We will definitely be back on our way through.

    GrannyMa's Kitchen - Crispy Fried Chicken dinner with dressing, mac & cheese & cornbread. Chicken is really good.

    I've been wanting to try this place for awhile so finally, 10/15/25 was the day. My friend and I…read moremade the drive from the city of Chicago to Monee, IL which was about 40 minutes. We get there and there is a cute young girl who greets us with an apron and chef's hat on. She seats us and takes our order - she was our waitress which surprised us. I ordered a cup of chicken noodle soup to have before my meal. I'm glad I got a cup and not a bowl. The cup was only half full. The soup was lacking flavor so I added pepper. The woman who is GrannyMa delivered the soup. She didn't speak to us or anything the entire time while we were there which didn't feel too nice. They were sold out of the beef liver, beef shortribs and sweet potatoes. We ordered the fried chicken (menu states it takes 20-25 minutes for the chicken) and the salmon croquettes. Each dinner comes with 2 sides each so we got the macaroni and cheese, green beans, dressing and mostaccioli (slight extra charge for the mostaccioli). Fried chicken was crispy and delicious! Seasoned well. The croquettes were good also - they give you two big patties in the dinner. We weren't impressed with the green beans as you can tell they came out of a can. The dressing was only okay. The mac and cheese was pretty good but the best side was the mostaccioli - it had a layer of cheese on top and was really yummy. I wish I had gotten that as a meal, it was that good and highly recommend it. For dessert I got the peach cobbler sundae which is peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream on top. The cobbler sauce was very thin. I like cobbler that has alot of flaky crust but this didn't have that but it still was good enough to eat the whole thing. The young girl brought us our bill. The prices are so reasonable for what you get. Our bill was only $62 with tax for all of what we had. The place is bright with warm colors inside. We conversated with the son-in-law to GrannyMa's, he was very nice and personable. Although the young girl was sweet, I felt some kind of way of her being our waitress because clearly she is underage to be working. We were told they have a Sunday brunch from 11-3 that includes a DJ. To my friend and I, the food overall was either hit or miss. One review mention about GrannyMa engaging them in conversation - she never came over to our table except to drop off the soup and she is the owner of the restaurant. Not a good way in customer service if you ask me. Overall, okay.

    I visited Granny Ma's for the first time a few weeks ago. I'd heard good things, so I was excited…read moreto check it out. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and found the restaurant virtually empty. There seemed to be a steady flow of takeout pickups, but there wasn't anyone dining in, so we had the entire place to ourselves. Our waitress was a young girl who was pleasant and friendly. My sister and I both had the catfish. I ordered the greens and mac & cheese while she had the dressing and greens. We both loved the mac & cheese. My sister kept stealing bites of it off my plate! Lol She enjoyed the dressing as well. Neither of us liked the greens, though. I believe they were turnips, and we prefer collards. We also didn't care for the Johnny cakes. I prefer mine a little sweeter. The catfish was good but could've had more flavor. My brother had the fried chicken, and his mom had the salmon croquettes. All three of them LOVED the croquettes! I didn't have any, but they were definitely a fan favorite! My brother loved the chicken and sweet potatoes. I had the brownie for dessert, which I didn't care for. My sister didn't like it either. It was dry and was just okay taste-wise. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. Since we were the only ones dining in, it was really quiet and relaxing. We sat at one of the large tables, but there are also comfortable benches along the wall and window. The service was excellent and you can tell that the family takes pride in going the extra mile. Overall, the experience was pleasant, and I'd go back.

    Honestly this is a classic spot for me. Growing up you could always find a J&Js near and they…read morealways held us down. The hospitality of this specific location is on point, nothing really stands out but the people in there are good working people. The inside isn't dirty or anything it's a regular spot for the most part! The food is exactly what you're paying for and I mean that in the best way possible. My family enjoys the chicken, and me being allergic I'm more of a fish guy so I always go with the Catfish Fillets, heavy lemon pepper, with extra mild sauce on the side. They always have fresh food and I've personally never had a problem with them. Now something that I do have to bring up are the fries. Sometimes the fries aren't really crunchy and that's a let down. The fries could definitely be a bit more well done but that's literally the worst thing I have to say about this place!

    This restaurant steals money from its customers!!! How pathetic and shameful! I sent my 17 year old…read moreson to pick up my order. I gave him $80 cash because I estimated the cost to be $70. The order was only $52 and some change. My son handed him all of the money in error. The cashier gave him back change for $60, and when my son informed him it was $80, he insisted it wasn't. I met my son at the restaurant a few minutes later, confirmed that he gave them $80, and they still refused to give me my money back. Any decent restaurant would tell a customer that they overpaid and give them their money back. These are dishonest people and they have no respect for us!!! I will never patronize this place again.

    JJ Fish & Chicken - Ok so I opened my lid and there is about 4 large pieces of catfish fillets and fries.  Crunchy and freshly cooked not to much lemon pepper.

    JJ Fish & Chicken - The front of the building is brightly lit up.  You can see straight into the restaurant.  Once inside it's nice and clean no trash or smell.
