Back at it! Had to show some more love! Red Star Kitchen & Bar was pretty good as the last few times we dined here. Decent prices and music was definitely a vibe! Friendly staff with great manners. We order the braided short rib with greens and Mac, along with the kids boneless chicken. Hot and ready! Juicy flavors and fresh! My margarita was also delicious! Definitely hit the spot! Check em out!

Quite a distance from our home, but my daughter and I came out on Sunday evening to support our cousin's sorority event here. It was packed with the party plus the regular patrons, but it cleared out a bit after their normal closing time of 5:00. Our private party was scheduled until 8:00. We had a variety of cocktails. Our server was swamped so everything took long. We had to grab her when we saw her and make sure to order what we wanted up front. We had a long table and she did a good job of keeping everyone's checks straight. They have an urban menu with lots of options for brunch, appetizers or entrees. We were limited to the fried dishes, so we got several orders of the salmon bites and loaded fries. The salmon was delicious! Bite sized pieces and only slightly breaded. The sauce was a sweet chili but they went really well with the dipping sauce that came with the cauliflower bites a friend had. Others ordered the chicken and fish entrees which all looked really good. Service was very slow because there weren't enough servers for the crowd. The DJ was awesome and the food and drinks we had were great. Would definitely return.

I was crazy enough to have a business meeting there with loud music it was amazing! The food is delicious and prepared fresh. I can't wait to try more items on the menu. The staff is great as well!

Short beef ribs and grits

The food was bomb, we decided to stop here after the sista strut for breast cancer. I had the catfish and grits with a passion fruit martini. My sister had the short beef ribs with grits. The food was delicious. I couldn't finish it all. The music was good. My bartender Keke was good, everything was on point.

Honey!!! The food was so bomb!!! Juicy steaks (one rare the other medium rare) cooked to perfection!! Especially as a delivery. We are currently without power and our using our generator but we cannot hook everything up to the generator. Thank you SO MUCH REDSTAR for not only a delicious dinner and a timely delivery.

My Experience Was Absolutely Wonderful! No Wait- Great Service & More! Best part Of The Experience was Are amazing Bartender / Server Amir. He is definitely the one to request every time you come. Trust me I know I will...he is very attentive and definitely makes sure you want for nothing!

Catfish Dinner
Leslie B.

Had an awesome time!!!!! We got seated right away with a reservation so I recommend making one. As the night went on people weee turned away due to the capacity. The staff were nice although it took a while for someone to serve us. The food was excellent and very flavorful! The drinks were great as well, I had the sangria flight! The sun came with karaoke where everyone had a blast and wasn't afraid to get up and make a fool of themselves. If you want a good time, good drinks and great food, I highly recommend!

It was a Tuesday night and I had a taste for some down home food and I was told this place had great catfish and wings. The catfish did not miss the mark it was fresh, flavorful, moist and the crust was crispy. The wings were flavorful but they were a little dry. The sinful loaded fries were amazing!!! We arrived around 7:00 pm it wasn't crowded but by 8:30 pm the place was full because I learned it was comedy night. We stayed for the comedy it was ok. This restaurant has a Dj and he was was playing a majority of R&B. They also have stand up Karaoke and Sunday brunch. I ordered a drink it was Strong!!! My wait staff was not very attentive and we had to search for her initially just to get silverware to eat our food. Throughout the course of our meal she rarely came to our table. This place gets loud around 8:30 pm but I like the urban vibe. It is a great place for girls or guys night out. They have lots of TVs on throughout the restaurant playing all the sports. If you want a festive lively place to eat with lots of entertainment options then this place is for you.

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.

Hubby and I have been wanting to check this place out since they opened, and finally came for…read moredinner. It's located inside the Delta & Fairfield Inn by Marriott with plenty of parking. We were greeted and seated quickly in a booth near the front. Our server, Raven, was fantastic! Since it was a very cold day, my husband asked if we could sit farther back, and she happily accommodated us without hesitation. The space has a fun vibe with modern decor. We started with the spinach-and-artichoke dip. Hubby liked his amaretto stone sour, and I ordered their new pina colada with strawberry swirl, which was good. He complimented the bartender on our way out. Hubby ordered the 8 oz. top sirloin with coleslaw and garlic mashed potatoes as his sides, and I went with the Bourbon Street steak skillet, which comes with garlic mashed potatoes. Everything was well-seasoned and good. Will definitely be back!

The place is dead, and you have to wait about 10 mins to be seated, and the last 3 times I've ordered carry out...... Every Time I've waited at least 20 mins, the last time I can late, and still had to wait, obviously they don't even start your order until you get there, which defeats the point of online ordering lol. The last place that was there, Bar Louie, same experience, so obviously same owner, this Applebee's wont be there long.

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.

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.
