Today, I had the most amazing food experience at GrannyMa's Kitchen in Monee, IL The lunch buffet…read morewas SO delicious and the price of $15.00 was phenomenal with the amount of food and variety that was offered. This was my first time here and I will definitely be back with family/friends. Don't walk but run and give them a try.

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.

Too lazy to cook and I was on the hunt for something different. Wanting something full of flavor, I…read moretried Soul Cafe. Cue scene with head exploding. The jerk chicken and shrimp alfredo over macaroni is truth serum. I liked that the gravy was thick. They scored high points with it. I also ordered lamb chops with greens and spaghetti. They are not playing in the kitchen. The lamb chops were perfect. When I reheat them, I will use the reheat option on my bail fryer so they remain juicy. As to the greens and spaghetti, they introduced some smoke that kicked the flavor way up. Cajun Soul is a walk-up, so it will be all about picking it up to go. What I ordered was cooked on the spot. When I have my occasional lazy moments again, they will definitely get repeat business from me.

I visited during a Saturday afternoon and was surprised with how empty it was. It was one other family that were in the middle of their meal so I was a little nervous. Luckily, the emptiness wasn't related to the quality of the food because it was good. The crawfish etouffee was well seasoned and had a bit of a kick to it if you enjoy spice. They do have a full service bar with cocktails; I ordered a mixed drink and while it tasted fine, I could hardly taste any alcohol in it. The service was also a bit slower than I'd imagine considering that it was empty when I dined. Despite those minor shortcomings, I enjoyed my dining and would keep it on my list of places to consider in the future.

They enjoyed the poboys and thought the fried green tomato on it was an interesting touch. I ordered the vegetarian jambalaya, fried green tomatoes, and fried buffalo mushroom. Overall, I feel like everything, I ordered, was lacking in seasoning. The fried green tomatoes were good with dipping sauce. The batter on the mushrooms were on the soggy side; they might do better to cut the mushrooms instead of serving them whole. The jambalaya was too soupy. Traditional jambalaya doesn't have a liquid/soup to it. The jambalaya was more like a veggie étouffée. I would visit again to try the vegetarian jambalaya and, maybe, have the fried green tomatoes again.

I ordered a platter of barbecue fried chicken with mustard potato salad, pinto beans, and a cornbread muffin. The chicken was no joke. It wasn't undercooked and it wasn't dry. I have had smothered fried chicken, but barbecue fried chicken was new to me and I liked it. They get high marks for good mustard potato salad. They didn't have baked beans, but cooked the pinto beans such that it had a nice gravy. No sugar was added to emulate baked beans, just good flavor without the fuss. Second platter that I ordered was spicy barbecue fried chicken, spaghetti, greens, and another cornbread muffin. Loved the kick to the spicy barbecue chicken. I appreciate the spaghetti not being sweet. There was enough bitter to the greens that I wonder if they were picked fresh. You can tell when someone does too much to canned greens to mask the fact that they're canned. I didn't get that impression with these greens. As to the cornbread muffin, it is more dessert than savory. Beware if you are a cornbread snob. Kimmy's is not a sit-down type of restaurant. You order for takeaway. What I ordered had sit-down flavor, for sure. I don't live too far away that I can't pull up. I can't say that I will chance placing an order for delivery. It takes time for orders to be completed because everything is cooked to order. Either way, they will get my dollars.

We got margaritas which were nice! Great balanced drink! We ordered a turkey burger with tots and loaded tots. The burger came with no tots, kitchen messed up and arrived after I ate the burger. Loaded tots were good and the tots that were with the burger were good. The host of "Drink Bingo" and the DJ were amazing. Solid energy, lots of fun and we were entertained! You gotta pay attention though! lol! Although fun, we felt a bit uncomfortable because it was kiddos there and we were promoting shots and calling out the "favorite number" of "69" so as educators, we felt a bit uncomfortable and awkward. I think we were thinking it was 21 and over since it was "Drunk Bingo". I hope the kiddos didn't go to school and say, "what's my favorite number? 69!" Yikes! :( I would just recommend it be 21 and over for that reason and the fact that it's "Drunk Bingo", let's keep the kiddos at home on Thursday nights :)

I mentioned I was cold but they never closed it. We went for Saturday Brunch, it's filled with grit and something or waffles and something options. I wish the menu had more options but I went with girts and lamb chops w/shrimp added on. We order a shared plate of Henny wings and French toast they forgot about and it came out super late. I started with the margarita flight which first came out filled with juice and no liquor. I talked to the waitress about it, she tasted the pre-made batch and agreed it wasn't right. She came back to tell me this and that she would make me a new flight fresh. I was happy this would be a quick resolve but it took 45 min to get the replacement after mentioning it 2x. The replacement came and was good, just wish it came before we were ready to go. The food was delicious, the grits were amazing. Lamb cooked and seasoned just right. My only complaint is the bowl it was served in is an appetizer bowl, super small. I'm not looking for more food just wish it wasn't piled into the small bowl and I was given a small appetizer fork to eat it with. The Henny glazed wings were super sweet, like an orange chicken sauce or orange marmalade. It was too sweet and ruined that dish. French toast was decent and tasted better without the syrup. Service is very slow, but the food comes quickly if they remember what you ordered. I had to remind them about my shrimp and the Henny wings. Because of the service doesn't match the high price tag and the lack of follow through, I wouldn't return on my own. If a friend was hosting something there I would go but it wouldn't be my first choice.

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!

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.
