    Coconut cream pie!
    Sara L.

    We were on a drive up in this area and i found Al's on Google. It was a Saturday for lunch and they were slow. The food was AMAZING and all home cooked! I had the porkchop, hubby had 1/2 bird fried chicken. I also had coconut cream pie. Al's is like the diners of the past- simple place, basic menu of perfected items, great service. We loved it! Important- it is cash only unless you are local.

    This quaint restaurant has been established for 73 years in the small town of Perryville, Missouri. We were flying through and needed to make a pit spot and Al's Place was only 5 mins away. We're so glad we found this place. It had a hometown feel and delicious homemade food! You can't beat that!

    Excellent home cooking. Food is delicious. Only took off a star because service at time can be sketchy. They have daily specials to pick from along with the menu. Make sure to save room for dessert. They are well worth the diet splurge

    I am having livers and gizzards for lunch as well as a stuffed tomato (fresh picked from the garden in back) in a town that only has a factory and this restaurant. Tomorrow the special is fried rabbit. I came over to talk to the owner about putting solar and she had just finished picking a hundred and fifty pounds of tomatoes from the garden in back!!

    Food is always good, and the fresh made pastries are top of the line. Service is always done in a friendly, and courteous manner.

    Staff was super friendly, and more than happy to answer any questions. I ordered the western omelet, and it was rather bland and dry.

    My husband and I stopped at Faye on the way through to the Giant City / Makanda area…read more We were welcomed upon entering, but didn't order immediately. We took a look at the photo display set up in the front. We ordered at the counter and I asked for advice. The staff member offered helpful input. I ordered the healthiest most delicious porridge. My husband ordered the avocado toast with bacon and an egg. He really enjoyed the chili crunch oil. We ordered a cardamom latte with cold foam and a salted caramel. We added on a biscuit with bourbon butter to go! The arrangement of the floor was spacious. The bathrooms were family and seemed sufficient for wheelchair users.

    I love a good soup and sandwich cafe and I think Faye has the whole package: chic, farmhouse…read moredecor, bright, airy dining space, a small market of curated kitchen goods and, of course, delicious food! I got a you-pick-two with red pepper soup and a strawberry salad. While I was deciding, my eyes wandered over to the baked goods (this is absolutely a trend with me) and I saw a peanut butter pretzel cookie....whaaaaat? No way this wasn't going in my belly! Then I glanced over to the drink case and I saw....Topo Chico! In Murphysville, IL?!? This place stands out for curating the best in a small town. Now I'm really excited for my lunch! And it did not disappoint. The red pepper soup was roasty and hearty, definitely a good choice for this chilly weather. And the strawberry salad was fresh and refreshing. Does that make sense? The ingredients were so fresh and crisp - sweet strawberries in January I'd no small feat! - but it was light and hit the perfect note as an accompaniment to the red pepper soup. And that cookie? Do I even need to tell you how delicious it was? I didn't even offer my friend a bite. I ate the whole thing and I'm not ashamed. So good! A delicious lunch and nice respite in a small Illinois town. Worth going out of your way, for sure!

    The adorable welcome to Faye. The lobby also contained a small local goods shop and a local photo show.
