    Came in on Memorial Day and was pleasantly surprised that we had just missed the breakfast rush. We were seated, attended to quite quickly & got our beverages very quickly. We ordered our food and within 15 minutes it was at our table. I had the chipotle chicken wrap, which was fantastic. I requested extra onions and they were spot on & the right amount. My husband had the chicken avocado melt and he thought it was really good & he joined the empty plate club for lunch. My daughter had a waffle that she scarfed down and her friend had a cheese omelette that was made to perfection and everybody enjoyed their food. The service was fantastic and it was nice to have the chef come out and ask is how our meal was, which is a rarity nowadays. I would definitely come back!

    Love the decor!

    The Hinkley Cafe is a great spot for breakfast dates, be it family or friends! The coffee is hot and fresh, skillets are second to none and we are continuously please by the service and cleanliness of this diner. Of all of the places we have visited in search of our go-to spot for breakfast, Hinkley is hands-down the cafe to go. I absolutely love the decor, too. Save your searching and just come in. This is the first cafe that the owner has come out to check on us as well. Managers/Owners touching tables has become too few and far between, so we really appreciate seeing that level of care for the establishment/guests.

    See all

    Open under new management. Outstanding small-town, straight-up, home-made cooking. Best Friday fish fry in the area.

    South Moon BBQ - Cuban Thursday

    South Moon BBQ

    (235 reviews)

    We loved all the funky vintage stuff all around the restaurant. We got brisket & pulled pork…read moresandwiches, coleslaw, fries, and burnt ends! Great beer selection. Our server was very nice! We liked playing the old arcade games after our meal! The Nitro sauce is NO JOKE!!!!

    The South Moon is a casual room packed with vintage and antique toys of all things. So many joints…read moredecorate their rooms with antique junk-it's a simple theme that almost always works. TOYS, as a theme catches your eye and your fancy, and provides a sense of comfort, really. If you're of a certain age, you HAD some of these pieces when you were a kid. I certainly did. But what links Toys, Bourbon and BBQ, I have no idea. Perhaps if you hit some fine pre-prandial herb it might make sense. I can remember that state of mind from my hippie days, and I think I may be on to something. The Q here is superb, at prices that will make you clean your glasses to make sure you saw it correctly. The perfectly-seasoned rib rack is HUGE (see photo below), with the right amount (and right flavor) of smoke. The pulled pork and brisket is the same quality. The sauces taste home-made and if you like it HOT, the ghost-pepper variety will not disappoint. Someone in this kitchen knows what they are doing. There are a few miscues (not enough to put me off my feed, but I report it all nonetheless): The Slaw is a little underseasoned. Hit it with some salt and it's great. The vaunted "spicy potato salad" isn't exactly a "must-have", I'd stick with the regular "mustard-style" tater-salad. There's a pulled Chicken which I haven't tried yet, but there isn't a bone-in BBQ chix option. I'll bet they'd knock it out of the park if there was one. And then there's the bar. A heroic variety of Bourbons, and the guy who curates the collection (I think his name is Phil) really knows his stuff inside and out, even if he looks more like a farmhand than a Bourbon Sommelier. They also have a smashing selection of Irish Whiskies. Note Bene: Make sure you have a designated driver. Trust me. In and amongst the toys, all this great booze is offered for sale. They also have a variety of THC-infused beverages on the menu. With this excellent Q, the mind boggles. Plus...toys. As far as Circuses, the service is homey and efficient, with sports on the TV, and picnic tables as a seating choice. A fine feed indeed, and it doesn't do that bad of damage to your pocketbook. We've always wanted to find a place that was in the same league as the Q joints found in the South, and I think we hit on a winner here. Worth the drive, that's for sure. Epilogue: Here's the wicked pissah: For a while, South Moon was open not more than a mile from Stately Breakwind Manor, here in the far southwest Chicago Burbs; in a building that until recently never had a winner in it. We didn't go 'cos we didn't like the building (idiots,we). If you take a look through Yelp for this region most every Q stop is compared to South Moon-believe them.
