I suggest you…read moredrive really fast by the State Capitol, take 10 minutes to see the MLK piece, then go straight to MJs. The service was hometown perfect, no rush, friendly vibes and the food let's just say I'm back home once a week from Peoria and so yeah I'm about to be a regular. The only chicken in 20 years that I enjoyed every single crumb of that well battered bird, the greens and Mac and cheese was on point. PS, you cant leave without the catfish and red beans and rice. So grab a few more dollars and get a second dinner to go. They cooked that food with love. Thank you to the Taylor family for showing love to the community that shaped us all. We will continue to support your efforts.

Fried chicken and rib tips were DELISHUSH! Pecan pie. Tea. Now if I was just hungry enough to order some catfish and walleye! Can't wait to come back to try that. So many palaces taking short cuts. Not here. Am THRILLED to finally find this small family owned place that will likely send you off with a smile every time. Portions were perfect. Nice lady was very friendly, welcoming and happy to make sure you received family type of atmosphere. They are moving to the old Burger King building by South Grand and Dirksen.

You have to eat 15 of their Wall wings. I didn't want that many so I didn't do the challenge. I did try the Wall wong and one of their dry rubs. The Wall wings were hot. I can easily complete the challenge. But the Wall wings sauce wasn't very good but it wasn't bad. They were just okay. My dry rub was good. So we're the fries. Yelpers should hive this place a try.

Wanted to try the hot dog, but decided to try the gyro, since it was in their name…read more Ordered the gyro special, the food came out promptly. As I sat down the place was dimly lit and chilly inside. The gyro meat was a little dry, but the tzatziki sauce really helped it. The pita was soft but was warmed to much. Was surprised with lettuce on the gyro. Not bad, just different than what I'm used too. The fries were ok. Maybe I will try the hot dogs next time.

The food tasted good though it was weird to have tomatoes and lettuce on a gyro. The gyros are super small as well, but im used to the chicago area and much larger portions. The sodas are cans. If the sandwich didn't taste so good they'd of got a 2 star.building needs some serious work and TLC.

I'm shocked that this is the first time I've ever been here…read more The Brussels were pretty good. I wound have liked them to be more sautéed but that's a personal preference. The flavor was very good. The seasonal salad was a house salad with strawberries, cucumbers, greens, red onions, some sort of a sweet oat cluster, and a kiwi salad dressing. Very good salad and I'm a little sad to k ow this isn't a regular salad they always carry. The old fashion drink was very good not the best I've ever had but very good. We had a lady server with reddish color hair that was absolutely amazing and so friendly. The ambience was very welcoming and comfortable.

My go-to is the buffalo ranch wrap with cheese fries. Absolutely delicious! There are lots of ways to order--at the window, by phone, online, or inside. We dined in for the first time and the restaurant was neat, clean, and had modern, up-to-date décor. Definitely recommend!
