    The cute cashier got me together n didn't trip when I was short on the change. In these hard times we need places like this.

    Red snapper dinner
    Nizel A.

    Price - Beware of the almost 30% markup on delivery. Other than that normal pricing which is scary cheap. 3/5 Customer Service - Ordered Watermelon Crush... they gave me Fruit Punch. Red Snapper seems almost like Catfish. Philly Steak doesn't already come with fries or drink. Took a bit for them to get the order out of the door 2/5 Philly cheese steak: Appearance - Super wet & messy. Below average. Also small for the price 1/5 Taste - Salty as all hell. Not worth the $10. In fact didn't even come with fries or a drink. 1/5 Boneless Chicken "wings:" Appearance - soaked in honey barbecue sauce. Could use a little less sauce considering that it goes into a cardboard bin. 3/5 Taste - Moist. A little bit too much water and some areas. The chicken is pretty average but the sauce makes up for it. The five pieces are big chunks of breast meat that will definitely fill you up. The fries are a nice bonus. 4/5 Red Snapper Dinner: Appearance - Decent looking fish with odd spots as if they fried chunks of flour too much in certain areas. Definitely overcooked on some parts of it. 2/5 Taste - Decent fish. Can barely taste the seasoning. Dry in some areas from being overcooked. Nothing special here. This honestly tastes similar to catfish so I'm skeptical if it's actually red snapper. 2/5 Overall, the food is such poor quality here. It's as if they don't even try. You get the usual signs of a bad Philly Cheese Steak which is salty meat. There's also a considerable markup (about 30% on each item) for delivery which makes it not even close to worth it. I'm also extremely skeptical that if they actually have red snapper fish. I doubt I'll order from this place ever again. 2 out of 5 stars

    f you're looking for a great local chicken spot open late this is the place to go. They offer a very large menu at good prices and the food is always good. In addition to having great, crispy chicken they have some other great things like catfish, philly steaks, tacos, chips with cheese, pizza puffs and a lot of other neighborhood favorites. Definitely one of my favorite take out spots in Matteson

    Very nice crew, sizable portions. I had the catfish, fries, coleslaw, and bread. I like their hot sauce.

    Terrible tenders

    Me and my son went to Red Lobster for the Lobster Fest. I ordered a lobster tail sirloin steak with…read morebaked potato & rice. My son had chicken fingers, fries & apple juice. I asked for the steak to be medium rare, not too pink inside. I would say around 3:40ish our food arrived. My steak was too pink for me. So, I asked for it to be cooked well done. The waitress said to me "You asked for it medium rare". "I know I asked for it medium rare but, can you cook it well done?" "If it's cooked well done. There will be no pink inside & you asked for medium rare". Taken aback. I said "I know i will not have any pink. I just want the steak well done". She got a manager. The manager too replied in the same condescending manner "If it's cooked well done. Then it won't be medium rare. There will be no pink inside & you asked for medium rare". "I understand. I do not understand what the problem is! All I want is the steak cook well done. Forget about the pink. Why can't you just cook the steak well done. What is the problem"? Again, you asked for medium rare & it has pink inside. Cooking it well done. Leaves no pink. Sure, I lost it. "Why are you acting as if I do not understand? Why can't the steak be cooked well done?" The manager wanted to keep arguing with me. I am now very pissed off. Lost for words. Here I am me and my son are out enjoying our day and this is what we receive!!!! Mistreatment. Over a steak that could have just been taken back to the kitchen and cooked well done!!!!!!!! I just want to get out of there. So, I started yelling. At this point the manager and waitress condescending attitude (waitress smiling as if I am getting what I deserved) push me over the edge. I was then told to leave. I would only be paying for my sons' meal. Here you want to charge me for my son meal and he only ate two fries. Plate still full of food. My food sitting on the table barely touched. I mean the table full of food. At the register. I asked the manager for his name and number to Corporate. While waiting for the price of my sons' meal. I am still venting too myself. How I cannot understand what the issue was. I did not ask for anything in place of the steak. I just wanted my steak cooked well done. I no longer wanted it medium rare, and I am being treated as if I am stupid. OF COURSE I AM UPSET!!!! What was the issue?!?!?!?!?!!! Times are this hard that an establishment is telling the customer what they order and implying "Since you order this. I am going to educate you on what a steak or anything looks like. How it's cooked and you should not be asking for anything differently". This is perspective on the situation. With the manager & waitress condescending attitude and the waitress smiling as if "Yeah tell her". Business this BAD should GO OUT OF BUSINESS. I am very disappointed with the whole outcome and all I wanted was for the steak to be cooked well done. To be kicked out of a restaurant and hear my son say, "He is a mean man". For the manager not to give me his name. Tell me I am being disruptive. Point to the bar area. That is completely empty!!!! No one is the area of the front door. Educating me what medium rare and well done is. As if I was just born yesterday. Is out Outrageous. I have never been treated as if I was so stupid in my is an understatement and I have had my share of stupidity from others!!! This experience is over the top!!!! Then the manager had a nerve to lie and say "I tried to give you another steak". What another medium rare stake (he never tried to replace my steak. It was me asking him to just put it back on the grill or however you cook it. I was the one trying to deescalate the situation. Not the manager or waitress)????? I will never return to this location again. Hell, I might never return to another Red Lobster EVER after today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would have liked a sincere apology, but it is clear to see that a business and employees of that business could care less about morals. I will blast you on every social media post.

    During my university days, Red Lobster people viewed as high-end seafood dining. Lines were always…read morelong. Wait times ranged from 40 minutes to an hour. The food was always worth the long lines and the wait. I remember the consistency in flavour right up through the late 90's, and then it appeared as though Red Lobster tapered off. It was as if the restaurant had suddenly experienced hard times and shut their doors. Fast forward to now, you can walk in and get a seat without waiting. Now I understand. The location in Matteson is close to my home, so I will pop in on occasion when I do not want to cook at home. The restaurant is never fully empty. Unlike days long ago when large parties occupied tables, that would be no problem now. The restaurant can accommodate multiple large parties at any given time. I tend to opt for fish and chips when I go. There are times when I will switch up and order salmon or any stuffed white fish along with vegetable sides. I would not say that the flavour has fallen off. However, there is something missing that I cannot put my finger on. I know that since the late 80's when I went to Red Lobster most, I had not yet broadened my palate, so I think that cooking and eating Caribbean and West African food primarily have wired my palate for a different set of spices that are not in the recipes at Red Lobster. This is not a bad thing, but it is just that my appetite is more satisfied than wowed. Service is always good at this location. That may be the case because the crowds are so thin that the servers do not come to the table agitated when they take my orders. I usually sit in the bar area. However, because the dining area tends to be mostly empty, the bar area closes so that diners can fill up the seats in the main dining area if possible. Red Lobster may be a cautionary tale of all good things eventually ending. This one in Matteson is holding on, though.

    As usual, I enjoy searching for Black-owned restaurants and bars to frequent and this was a great…read moreaddition to my list. 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.

    We ordered lunch for pickup at Hidden Manna Cafe 3 of 4 in my party had catfish poboys with greens…read moreand beans and rice. 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.
