I've been wanting to try this place for awhile so finally, 10/15/25 was the day. My friend and I made 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. read more

I visited Granny Ma's for the first time a few weeks ago. I'd heard good things, so I was excited to 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. read more

GrannyMa's kitchen is definitely a hidden treasure. From the service to the food, everything was just wonderful. I had pleasure of meeting the wonderful grandma personally. She even took the time to sit down and talk with me and asked me. How did I enjoy the food ? And let me just say black don't crack. But back to the food. Everything and I do mean everything was extremely delicious favorable and prepared with love. Can't wait to visit again. And thanks for a great dining experience. read more

So, so good. Had catfish and mostociolli; corn and sweet potatoe sides. I mean, it blew my friend and I out of the water.

We visited the restaurant for lunch. My friend enjoyed his sides. My order was sent back, since the cook prepared it incorrectly. Who decided to put cheese in a fried chicken bowl?? Since it took so long to be corrected it became an order to go. No offer was made to compensate us for the mixup in the order or the time it took to to give me another order. Poor customer service. Nothing special about the greens or mac&cheese. I will not be back. read more

The food, ambience and the service is superb!! The smothered pork chops is very delicious, the turkey greens were cooked very well and tasty while the mostaccioli is very cheesy and extremely delicious!!! When I tell you the food is wonderful, that is an understatement!! The young lady Jessica was very attentive, polite and made me welcome. I will always eat at Granny Ma's when I am in Monee IL. read more

Contacted Grannyma's Kitchen with a last minute request to cater a birthday party for 50 guests. Grannyma herself walked me through planning the catered meal, determining a good mix of dishes and making suggestions so that I would have enough of everything for everyone. Not only was the meal affordable but it was hot and ready at exactly the time we agreed upon. It was packaged so that it would travel well and not spill in my car. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. Her team went above and beyond to help me load the food into my car. I was able to unpackage and serve the food without doing anything extra to it. I received constant feedback throughout the evening from the guests about how tasty the food was. The guests liked that the food was seasoned very well without being salty. All of the food was cooked to perfection, nothing was under or over cooked. My guests scraped the pans on most of the dishes to get 2nd and 3rds, leaving no crumbs for most of the food! When I need to cater another event, I would certainly hire them again! I couldn't thank her enough! read more
