The serving sizes are great filled me up and I eat a lot. The potatoes soak up that juice and oh boy what a bit. There was probably a pound of sausage on my plate and the shrimp are large.

Pros: Cant beat the location and price....it was free since I was staying at the hotel. Staff was friendly and regularly checked up on us to refill coffees. Cons: Seems like the staff had a hard time keeping up with the food in the buffet area. 2 out of the 3 times I went up, the trays were half empty. I had limited time so not having food readily available was unfortunate.

After running around to all the Popeye statues we worked up an appetite, so we were ready to eat! The food was nothing to write home about, but it was tasty, home-style food. The meatloaf was a highlight for us. The only bad thing was the cornbread muffins were awfully stale. Our server was super sweet and bubbly. The place definitely looks like it hasn't been updated since the 90's, but I think it adds to the charm.

MEO MYO is one of few restaurants in this town that provides a menu devoid of the usual fried fast food or burgers you will run into in most establishments in the area, and I was presently surprised as to how good the food was. I had the gumbo, and as one previous commenter mentioned, it's not NOLA but it's still the best gumbo I've had in the state of Illinois (outside of Chicago). Wasn't raised on the stuff but I went to undergrad in Mississippi so I like to think I can at least tell the difference between good and bad gumbo. Cornbread was also pretty good. Definitely give it a shot, I'll be back to try the etouffee and the shrimp and grits at some point in the near future. Attached is the menu-- Couldn't find it on here or anywhere online. Hope it helps
