    Made from scratch gravy?! Say no more. The diner across the street was closed & I made my way over here for breakfast instead. Glad I did, too! Very polite, real small town. Prices are fair & the environment was cute.

    This is one of my favorite places in the Kankakee area. I like to suport local businesses, rathee then all of the chain restaurants around here. The place is decorated nicely with hand-painted (I think) wall murals. It's also super clean--including the bathrooms. The food always looks and tastes fresh. They have a great variety of breakfast and lunch dishes, and dinner for a bigger appetite. They also have daily specials. The soup I ordered today tasted homemade. Cream of chicken rice and it was a cup full of rice and actual pieces of chicken--not just broth. It also wasn't overly salted, which was great. Service is quick and friendly. They also have a room where you can host a meeting or party. I'll be back!

    They didn't have the lasagna again, I was quite disappointed I must say. if you don't have it, it shouldn't be on the menu.

    Ate at BrickStone a couple times last week. Was in town for work and had a couple of large groups…read more(6-10) to take out for dinner. Took the larger group out on St Patty's Day. No trouble getting a table but the bar area was pretty full. Our server was fast and professional. She nailed everyone's drink and food orders with no issues. Food came out fast and hot as well. Tough to do with 10 people at a table. I ordered the Honey Glazed chicken. It was pretty good but the chicken had a few chewy spots. Flavor was great though. The glaze was sweet but not overpowering. 2nd night I ordered the Parmesan chicken. That chicken was great but o didn't care for the pasta it was served on. Flavor was good but just not my thing. Service was great both nights. Pricing is fair as well. Recommend if you're in the area and looking for something different than your typical nationwide chain.

    Very disappointing experience at this establishment. It's been a few years since we've visited…read moreBrickstone and this time, we were not impressed. Service was slow -- to non existent -- at best. We ordered two saganashkees that were bland, with little to no crust. The server said he has never served two at once before, so I guess we loose. I ordered the Poke. It too was bland and some of the tuna was hard!! Yes, hard!! The serving included a dollop of guacamole that had no business on the plate, in my opinion. Chunks of avocado, that I thought I was getting, fine, but not a traditional guacamole. Not good. Three of the four persons at our table ordered burgers and were all equally disappointing. It seemed like the burgers were diced up like it we to get used like in chili. But then, there tried to make a hamburger out of it!! Really weird. The taste was good, but unmanageable as a hamburger. One of the persons at our table ordered a shrimp appetizer. He said it was "ok". This restaurant has a nice atmosphere and is quite comfortable and the beer is okay. But, that's all it has going for it. Our previous visit a few years ago was much more enjoyable. We see no reason to return.

    I was looking for a good place that served liver and onions and Paul's Place is it!!! I don't…read moreunderstand why it has a 3.8 Yelp rating. I'd rate it a 10 for sure. Driving back home from Champaign IL to Chicago, IL, I decided to google places in route. Yelp indicated the establishment opened at 7:30am which was right on target with my trip home. I arrived a little before opening time, but at 7:30am the door opened and I was greeted by the owner, Scott. The establishment was very nice and clean, comfortable and welcoming. My server Annette was very friendly and accommodating. Now for the main reason for my visit: the liver and onions was a divine gift!!! I know that having this entree for breakfast sounds weird, but I'm on a mission and trying to eat better. Anyway, I digress. The liver was seasoned exceptionally well and was topped with grilled onions and bacon. I opted for broccoli and rice pilaf instead of potatoes. I felt like I was at my family's home. The meal was so comforting . Hats off to the chef Rolando!!!! I'm 45 minutes away from Paul's Place and I'll be making this my stop off spot going forward on my way to my second home! Thank you Scott, Annette and Rolando for a great experience.

    I had a bad experience with server. Poor customer service dynamics. I payed for the food. Everytime…read moreI question price range or follow up on something I notice going on with service, the server or manager become real defensive, and rude. Be glad there is no Cooperate Department. I wanted to contact them. I am not the one at all. They get comfortable too fast with a regular customer who pays. Disrespect the rights of customer asking questions. I have decided to not return here again. I felt racism here. I am always placed to the side - on hold over customers who came in after me. They serve.their friends first.and its not fair. No more involvement with the company. Im thru catering to abbsolut nonsense. It's truly unfortunate that the owner has an attitude with blacks. The food is excellent. Great potential in this sense. That was truly my only motivation for me to go there. No food complaints whatsoever, just a noticeable attitude from the top. Always having something smart to say. to customers, not all. Let's say: They know who to target. I have observed the owners interaction with others. Noticeable communication issues and lacking cultural sensitivity. NATASHA
