Food was great. I got the brisket - delicious but MAN those waffle fries with the butter rub sauce…read moreor whatever it was. GET THEM!!! My son loved his burger. Their fries were too! Service was great. Sports bar but families wwre around also and chill area for low top tables. Lots of TVs! Lots of parking!

Effingham was our first stop on a road trip to San Antonio. We pulled in medium late but full…read morehungry. Scanning the food places we picked this because it seemed to have decent ratings and a lot of reviews. Plus, you get go wrong with good ol' American cuisine. The first kind of hiccup is that they must have recently moved building. Though they moved right next to their existing building, there was no signage and we had to rely on our own eyeballs. Which almost led us into the wrong building. Not a bid deal, realistically, but it threw us for a loop. Getting inside, it was super clean. Long bar, plenty of tables, modern, many tvs for many sports. Plus, the building itself seemed rather large. A chonker of a building, if you ask me. Our hostess brought us into what seemed like the back 40 of the building and seated us next to a garage door that overlooked a cement pad that will one day be a cement pad with things on it. Not even mad. Saw a train. Here's the money shot. Have you ever been happy adjacent? Have you ever been right up to the edge, the precipice, the peak, then turn around and leave? That was kind of the ideal feeling here. The ambiance and service and general-ness of the entire place was spot on. The food itself looked top-tier. But it felt a click away from perfection. Let's look into it. As a hefty man (fat, not the garbage bag brand), I'm a man of appetizers. Also of wings. Therefore, sign me up for 12 bone in wings for an app. Split into three flavors: Carolina BBQ, Buffalo, and regular BBQ. They came out looking and smelling delicious. The sauce flavors hit hard. But I was a little let down with the dryness of the wings. I know sometimes it can be difficult to knock a wing out of the park because those damn things just want to get crispy. But I don't want to fight chewing the meat off the bone. It felt like a battle me and my mush mouth would lose. Now, from what I understood, all sides were a la cart. Color me fine with that, fatty will order anyways. Especially since I saw they offered street corn AND hushpuppies. So naturally, that's what I ordered. The hushpuppies came out and were the round kind. Which I am no stranger to. They had good flavor, good done-ness, but missed the mark on the size. If they were hush people, they would have been premies. A little sad they didn't get to experience their full potential. Now, for this part I will say I was forewarned. My server did mention the street corn came in a bowl and was served cold. I thought I was better than somebody who judged street corn by its temperature. I was wrong. It did come cold. And because of that, it was not tasty. Missed the mark completely. I did get a bonus side, your typical, run of the mill French fry. They came out and looked great. Meadiu

During our cross country trip, we stop for the night in Effingham, IL. From the hotel we walk down…read moreto Buffalo Wild Wings with our dog and sit outside. The patio isn't for everyone as the nearby highway can be loud but it's perfect for us to sit with our dog, have a beer and food. We were lucky and had a great waitress (Christine) who brought out a bowl for the puppy, took our drink order and quickly returned, even apologized for the wait due to the slow pour of Guiness. We sat and decompressed from our long days ride, when our drinks were almost done, she magically appeared and took our order and request for refills. The kickin chicken sandwich was great, just the right amount of heat, the nachos were good along with the salsa. We got a plain hamburger for the dog. We always get great service here no matter what time we get there, this time it was around 6 pm, previously in Octobers visit, it was 3 pm. This location has always been a solid choice, great service (especially if Christine is working) and good food. We will be back in October for more wings, beers and outdoor service.

The server that we had (another bothered employee) literally said..."if no one else is taking care of you, I guess I will. Food - buffalo chicken wrap... chicken was nearly nonexistent and burnt. To top it off- while we were eating ... said bothered server was vacuuming . Including u see our table. Terrible ambiance. They need a full reset and training.

Here's a great place that we frequent often…read more.. Definitely a family fave and A TOP CHOICE by wifey. In fact, we pretty much have a steady-state order. For some reason, we get menus and even look at them, and then we order the exact same thing every time. BUT!!! I will say this: tonight there was a wait! So we sat at the bar waiting for a table, and got a glass of wine!!! THAT'S DIFFERENT for us! Our order: Wifey - Stuffed shells, garden salad, hot honey pizza Me - Meatball/spaghetti, anti-pasta salad, hot honey pizza (This was actually a new main dish for Honey. He decided he wanted a tried and true Italian standby. So I guess we didn't get the exact same thing! ) Just FYI, we take the pizza home after grabbing a slice as an appetizer! And, per usual, everything was just SO tasty. They have never failed us. Anyway, always just great food, nice people, and a great time! They can get busy, especially during key times! But we all know what that means! What are you waiting for! Go eat at Joes! A short review, but, just an update on a place that is always five-stars.

$30-50 I ordered online through door dash, Joe's special…read morepizza, this was the greatest pizza I've had hands down. I have eat pizza all across this country, this has the best crust, toppings and seasonings. I will return for the pie. As for the bread sticks..... They were absolutely plain, no butter, seasoning what do ever, it's my opinion they are no different than the plain bread sticks you buy at the store, yuk !! Never again will I buy them again.
