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. Be back soon! 230 South Grand Ave East. Springfield IL. 1.5 Million mile truck driver told you that.

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.

Ask for Tanja to be your server. She was awesome!!! We were excited to try Ugly Restaurant, as we…read morelove Turkish food. These folks did not disappoint. Tanja brought us some pita bread and carrot salad to start. That was complementary. We had a couple of cocktails from the bar, which were very good. We next had the Cigar Borek, which were little cheese rolls with a spicy tomato dip that was outstanding! We then ordered the beef doner wrap, which was just delicious! The beef they use for this is really tender and delicious. We cannot wait to return to this lovely Ugly Restaurant. :)

One of the reasons I love Mediterranean food is its use of spices and infused flavors. A complimentary carrot salad mixed with yogurt was served with warm pita bread. This was not good, frankly, and was the start of what would end up being an underwhelming experience. I ordered the mixed sampler platter for an appetizer. The only thing worth eating was the falafel and the cigar borek (fried breaded cheese). My entrée was the chicken shish kabobs that were accompanied by rice, a small chargrilled tomato, a chargrilled pepper and an onion salad. The chicken lack any kind of seasoning. Even salt would've help. This was probably the most bland Mediterranean food I've ever experienced. The presentation was grade A but the lack of flavor resulted in a Grade C. Even the baklava was bland. For $60 (including tip) I could've had a much more fulfilling meal.

I have been a fan of Wingstop for about 20 years and was thrilled when one opened here in…read moreSpringfield. The original owners did a fantastic job, and I was happy to see someone reopened it after the fire. Unfortunately, it no longer lives up to its previous reputation. There is never enough seasoning, and the order I got last night barely had any. The chicken strips have also changed from a crispy, crunchy exterior to what is now more of a soft breading. Finally, there is an option on DoorDash to have fries and chicken cooked longer, but not once has this been followed since the reopening. As another said, fries are always disappointing as well due to being soft-cooked and under-seasoned. Sadly, I now will only be enjoying Wingstop when I travel outside of Springfield.
