Not gonna lie. This place serves up some of the best Polish Dogs, and every fry here looks and tastes hand cut! Lady manager here was super friendly, she cooked both my meals and I finished both plates including a classic hash brown plate with sausages and eggs. Fresh brewed coffee here also tastes better than at Pilot and Petros and the bill comes out LESS than what you'd expect at a Denny's. Last thoughts: Looks very rough from the outside, but cant think of a more humble meal after a long night of delivery in West Chicago and ending up in Monee Illinois before my return pickup.

Ive been going here since they've opened a few years ago and I will always recommend this place…read moreover gracies! The food is hot, the staff are all wonderful and knowledgeable about the menu and I literally have not had a bad experience from this restaurant! I had gotten a beef tongue and had no idea what to do with it and they were AMAZING to cook up the lengua for me! I did leave a fat tip in the jar when I picked it up after they did not charge me anything for cooking it! When I tell you that the lengua I got was soooo incredibly TENDER it literally fell apart as I was grabbing handfuls with tongs to serve it! Went so good with fresh guacamole and pico! Will absolutely have it again as long as the crew at papa luis does it! Gracias Luis!

I was in the area visiting family, and we decided to stop in for a bite. I have an affinity for…read morediners, so I was excited to visit. We visited around 4:30 pm on Friday evening and were seated promptly. My brother ordered the ribs, and my sister had the fried chicken. I opted to play it safe and only ordered a grilled cheese sandwich. My brother enjoyed the ribs, but my sister said the chicken had no flavor whatsoever. I had a bite, and I completely agree. It was as if someone just fried the chicken without seasoning it. My sandwich was fine, just as I expected. The fries, however, were nothing special. I assume that they came from a bag in the freezer. We all ordered the cream of chicken rice soup, which was delicious. My sister and I enjoyed it so much that we ordered some to-go. The vibe was relaxed and comfortable. I liked the old Western feel. Our waitress was attentive and friendly too, which was awesome. I'd probably stop in again for another sandwich or burger.

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.

I hadn't been here in over a year and my boyfriend and I came on a Sunday... The menu has evolved…read moreinto something fantastic in my point of view. They've really upped their game! I came back on a Tuesday with my girlfriend and this is what happened: (check out the pictures below!). The earthiness of the mushrooms complements the pulled pork and their sweet savory bbq sauce. It has something in it that I can't quite define yet hold on let me ask... It's parsley! Believe it or not. It brings out a balanced culinary experience. My friend says the pulled pork sandwich is tawthum mmpthim oh mmmmuph. Which I deciphered as Awesome! oh my God, this is the best freaking sandwich ever! Just check out her face. It says it all: Yum!

The restaurant is spacious and cozy. We sat in a booth that didn't feel tight. The cushion was also very comfortable. The menu is extensive, and you can order lunch even during the morning hours. I ordered bone-in ham, eggs, hash browns, and toast. Everything was excellent. The portion size is huge too! My sister had the corned beef hash, eggs, and toast. She loved her food as well. My brother had a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich and our godmother had waffles with a side of bacon. My godmother said the bacon wasn't crispy enough for her liking. Overall, we all enjoyed our food immensely. My brother added the grits for $1 to his sandwich. The grits were the only thing that was awful. They had no flavor whatsoever, which was disappointing. My godmother had coffee, waffles, & bacon. She wanted the bacon to be crisper, but other than that she was happy. Our waitress was attentive and pleasant. The restaurant was cozy and clean.
