First time visit as we are from out of town. My husband and I both chose items from the brunch menu. I had the lemon curd french toast with berries and ice cream. My husband ordered the waffle and chicken with sausage gravy. Everything was delicious and portions were large. A little pricey, but service and atmosphere are excellent. Our server, Eddie was pleasant and efficient.

The Firefly Grill is a fantastic dining experience! I will definitely visit them every time I'm in the Effingham area. Located near the Effingham Performance Center. Beautiful serene setting with an outdoor deck overlooking a pond filled with colorful Koi fish that you can feed off of the deck. I highly recommend the Firefly Grill!

We traveled four hours to meet my son and eat here because of the rave reviews. This restaurant is one of the best places I’ve ever eaten at. The food tasted so fresh. We ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes, Philly Cheesesteak, Muffuletta, Shrimp Cakes, Apple Cobbler, Creme Brûlée, and Nitro Cold Brew. Everything was excellent. We have already made plans to go back. It’s definitely worth the drive. The restaurant has such a nice atmosphere to it. We sat on the covered porch and watched the rain. I highly recommend eating here.

Great farm to table establishment with a great atmosphere and equally outstanding service.
You can taste the freshness in the well prepared food offerings. Unfortunately my NY Strip was undercooked, which was disappointing, hence four stars instead of five.
$200 for two people without any drinks is a little pricey too.

I have eaten here a few times and have never been disappointed. The food is so good. I highly reccomend this place!

Fabulous food. Server was quite knowledgeable. It was very busy. Fridays can be. Paper napkins?! We both thought that odd for this kind of restaurant. Seasonable selections were very good, drinks and food. Table for two was very small for all the pieces and menu. We highly recommend dining here.

Quite a gem! Creative menu, outstanding server. Didn't think I would find such a place in small town Illinois. Very cool vibe. One of the more enjoyable experiences I have had in a while.

This was a stop on our way back to VT last night. A true farm to table restaurant. Salads were outstanding, fresh and vibrant with local ingredients. I had the banger and mash, she had she had the fried chicken. Delicious. Cocktails get a high mark with an excellent selection of bourbons and real italian cherries in the old fashion. Service, pace, ambiance great. Highly recommend.
