DOWN HOME DESSERTS I recently had the pleasure of dining at this charming local BBQ spot, where the owner, affectionately known as "Ma," takes hospitality to a whole new level. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine sense of welcome. The menu featured mouthwatering BBQ dishes that left our taste buds dancing with delight. The meats were perfectly smoked, tender, and bursting with flavor. It's clear that Ma and her team take great pride in their craft. What sets this place apart, though, are the desserts. The sweet treats on offer were nothing short of heavenly. I highly recommend saving room for dessert – it's an absolute must! Moreover, the customer service here is top-notch. Ma herself frequently checks in on diners, making sure everyone is well taken care of. It's evident that she pours her heart into this restaurant, and it shows in every aspect of the dining experience. Whether you're a BBQ aficionado or just looking for a warm and welcoming place with excellent food and desserts, this local gem with "Ma" at the helm is a must-visit. It's not just a meal; it's an unforgettable experience that leaves you feeling like part of the family.
Amazing Soul food, best I've had since leaving the south. Highly recommend giving this place a try it will not disappoint. Food is home-cooked and flavorful. Owners are cordial, friendly, and open to talking. It is a family owned, ran, and operated restuarant.
I ordered a soul food plate with three wings, Mac and cheese, greens, and cornbread. My mom got a large rib. Everything was chef's kiss 😘. You can tell the food is made with love and when I sat down to eny my plate it felt like eating at Grandma's house. This is my second time at this establishment and I'm beyond satisfied. The service was amazing and the area is clean. Some of the best bbq on between Wisconsin and Illinois. If you're in the area, check it out!
We happened to find this quaint and BBQ atmosphere dine or takeout restaurant while in the Zion area. We ordered Turkey leg, ribs and strawberry shortcake. It smelled so good we couldn't wait to eat it at home, we ate it in the car! So juicy and flavorful!
Ordered the Beef Polish; my Grandson bring it home and there is nothing on it. My Grandson said the person at the counter told him that's how it comes; which is completely not true; if you look at their IG page there is a picture of a Polish with onions and peppers, along with my comment on how great it tasted. Not only was the Polish dry, they charged me for 2 Polish and said he couldn't reverse the charge since they were closing for the night. Now I'm sitting here with a dry Beef Polish. No worries, it will not happen again.
My first time here & the ladies were nice & well mannered. I came here on a Saturday during the 6 p.m hour it was not at all busy. I bought a short order of rib tips & mac & cheese. They don't have a lengthy order of side items which was disappointing, I had to ask the lady if they had any other sides because I think it was only 4 listed & she said mac & cheese. The tips were good, like came off the bone easily & a nice amount! The mac & cheese could use more seasoning, it was just ok. I would come here again to try their fish, & their lemonade looked good, but I'm not sure if its home made prices are decent, & I'll be rerurning soon.
Wow what a pleasant surprise! Everything I had on my plate was delicious! Catfish, yams, greens, cornbread. Portion size was good. Service was good. Cashier was very pleasant and packed order nicely. Only complaint is there was too much juice from greens that spilled out in the paper bag. Thank god they wrapped my cornbread and fish in wax paper. That kept it from getting soggy from the juice. Will definitely eat here again!!
2nd time trying this spot while passin thru Zion. I had fond memories of some good food, so I checked it again. It has great signage and a clean interior feel. It definitly looks like a quality, professional place! I had rib tips, lemon-pepper chicken, beans, greens, & fries. Greens were still 🔥! Some of the best greens I've had in ever. The ribs were thick and meaty drenched in a tasty bbq sauce. Definitly get a good portion in the combo. However, the meat this time was tender & tasty especially the bottom tips that were drowned in the sauce The chicken wings were huge and meaty. Again an A+ for portions. Lemon pepper had good flavor and not overbearing. Overall, good portions, fair price, clean place, desserts on deck, great look....I will definitly be back for those great sides and to try other options.

Enjoyed a chicken salad sandwich and a cup of chili. There were snow flurries and cold out, hence the hot cup of chili.ð¤ª. Service was great. Food was great. Whatâs left to say? Christian atmosphere. Nice.
ZBPD continues to be a safe, affordable & clean facility. Sadly people aren't flocking in to see just what is has to offer. They've been very busy lately investing in the Fitness Studio with numerous pieces of NEW equipment which has been a very we
My wife and tried this place and we're are glad we did. Small place but it packs a punch. I had the Farmers Skillet, coffee and pancake. The Farmer's Skillet had chicken, bacon, hash browns, vegetables, and two eggs. It was incredible. Highly recom
It is a nice Park, has some picnic shelters and a playground. I don't know the condition of the playground, but the park always appears clean and maintained. Great place to go if you want to photograph squirrels. The 2023 season had a Great Blue Hero
It's a nice park in an urban area. We went here back in the 80s, when the Zion nuclear power station was next door and in operation. It's gone now, but luckily, the park remains. Summer time and holidays, get there early because the park will fill
Been going here for since I've lived in zion. Hands down the best Chinese food in town, and there's not a close 2nd. They are even nice enough to cater to my wife's allergies so she can also enjoy their food. Sne normally can't have takeout from any
