First time trying BJ's Garden Inn Cafe. Had the Sunday lunch plate which is two pieces of fried chicken, white or dark meat, plus two sides. Pictured there are three side because I did not order the carrots. Our service was good, the waitress was great. The food was what I would call average. There wasn't anything bad or wrong with it, just not 5 stars.
We both had the Coconut pie for dessert, it was amazing. Completely homemade down to the crust itself, which was very good. We had Sunday lunch plates(2), drinks(2) and both had pie for dessert and it was under $34.00. Definitely worth it. We are looking forward to trying breakfast there soon. This place is a small town, old time diner. Worth a visit....“

“Hey I’m back and have to say this place is phenomenal. The food and craft beer just outstanding. The Bartenders and Wait Staff are Sooo Good. I’ll see this place next time in Duquoin Il.“

“Was there for 1st time yesterday. Great food, service, everything!! Nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back and have already told several people about it. Great job to owner/ chef/ waiter!!! The food business is definitely not for the weak.“

“I have ate at Back Water a few times now both breakfast and supper..they are both great but I'd have to say that the Breakfast on the weekends are my favorite. Jami has been my waitress each time. She is the sweetest and she makes sure she gets your order right. Shane has some cooking skills....dont tell him i said that though! The biscuits and gravy are delicious!! Its been a while since I've had HOMEMADE GRAVY from a restaurant! The pancakes are bigger than the plate they serve it on. Michelle is awesome and extremely consciencious about serving the best food! Seriously Guys this place is a hidden gem for a great price!“
