COUNTRY FRIED STEAK. no gravy to be found.
Annie M.

Stopped in at Yesterday's to pick up dinner today. Ordered country FRIED STEAK for my husband. When we got home and he opened the box there was no gravy on the meat at all. We called the restaurant and after passing the phone around 3 times, we finally got a manager (I think) my husband explained that there was no gravy on the steak, she hung up on us.great customer service ...not.

After falling unexpectedly into Metropolis to geek out at the Superman sites, we found a nice BBQ and Catfish place down the road to try. Very local and seat yourself location. We had the BBQ and Cat fish. They both were good, preference to the catfish because the BBQ sauce was overly watered down so the texture kind of ruined the good taste. Either was a good option. Kind of nice to listen to local talk as families and others come in. Lots of bench and table seating. Memorabilia all over the walls. Okay, but not totally clean restrooms. The catfish was in filets and done up right. Lots of side options to chose with your entree. Give it a shot.

The Barnyard Burger
Steve M.

We are out-of-towners who frequent the casino on occasion. We have tried a couple sit-down, family-style restaurants, and this one is now our favorite. The outside won't wow you, but as soon as you walk inside you'll see how this place is so popular. It's quaint, clean and appropriately decorated. Feels kind of waterfrontish. Alexis was our server, and she was most excellent. She was patient with us, and happily answered all of our random menu questions (ie. What are 'corn nuggets'?). At 11:00 am on a Saturday, there was a constant flow of customers. I had the Barnyard Burger with fries, and my wife had the Blackened Bleu Burger. The burgers were fried, old school (reminds me of Steak and Shake, but Yesterday's are thicker). The food arrived fresh and hot, and every bit of it was delicious. We'll be back. (Fair warning )

Hunting breakfast
Joseph M.

We stopped in for breakfast after a rainy morning hunt. The place was busy. We got a super friendly waitress. I wanted some real country fried steak and eggs. This place delivered. Great food good service reasonable price. I would have prefered my hash browns a little more cooked but partner loved them. Waitress Sierra was the best. Stop by if you're in town.

Yesterday's BBQ fried cherry pie.
Craig M.

We visited Metropolis while traveling southern Illinois and were delighted with a quick lunch here. We pulled in because the parking lot was full. The Wednesday lunch special was buy one get one free pulled pork sandwich. The pork was well-seasoned and not fatty - very good without sauce . Both spicy and sweet sauces we tried were very good, but a little thin. We also had potato casserole and fried corn nuggets. Really liked the potato casserole. And finally, we tried a fried cherry pie. It was good, but did not seem home made. One critique: the kitchen could use a better ventilation system. The restaurant was a little smoky which irritated my eyes a bit. Overall, this was much better than we expected to find in a small town. It's home cooking and fried food, but well done with care. I appreciate a place that knows what it is and does it well; that's what we experienced here. And even though every table was full at lunch, we were in and out in an hour. Total bill for 2 at lunch including sharing dessert - $9.72 + tip.
