“My mom and I stopped in from Indy. My mom ordered smothered chops white rice gravy and corn. I was immediately impressed when she said let me drop your pork chops. I ordered oxtails and cornbread. (they were sold out of the oxtails soup impressive as well) Cornbread was off in my opinion. All I can say is food was fresh, smoking hot,tender very tasty.We will visit again. Service was excellent“

“My mom Shelly went here today with my auntie and sister they brought the food back home it was so delicious.I’m heading there soon“

“I love this restaurant!! Perfect place to go to sample many Polish favorites, or to have a group meal (shower, birthday party, family gathering etc.) in the semi-private back room. All the food is really fresh and well prepared, just like Grandma used to make at home. It Is a buffet, so there are many choices to please every taste level. Desserts are in small portions, which I find very thoughtful, so you can sample more than one item without over doing it. You can also prepare a to-go box of favorites to take home, for an additional 'per pound' charge. The wait staff is welcoming, kind and efficient as well. Adult beverages of cocktails, wine and beer are available, in addition to coffee, tea, milk, and sodas. I enjoy 6-7 visits per year, and am never disappointed.“

“Layover at O'Hare was long enough to get a quick bite for lunch before a 4 1/2 flight to LAX. I ordered an Italian Beef sandwich. My expectations were not high, but I was happily surprised by the sandwich. The meat was tender, the bun was soft, peppers and onions were properly sauteed and the hot pickled vegetables had a nice kick. Service was as expected at an airport fast food place, but the food was good and fairly priced. Definitely worth a try. The included spicy BBQ chips were very good too!“

“OMG, when I say coming here was well worth the drive! Their chitterlings are freaking 🔥🔥🔥🔥! Hot sauce was not needed at all either. Their rib tips and sides were delicious as well. Great customer service too! I will gladly be back!“

“Great place to invest in your health & a great tasting meal. I’m a regular now.“

“My Fraternity Brother Anthony Williams and partner Byron Diggs when not bringing great joy as a part of the Our Lady of Our Lady of Africa Parish, Chicago Eucharistic Ensemble have a great Cafe in Maywood right off of I 290. It is called Meal of the Day and has some great southern cuisine in an establishment on the 4th floor of a business complex overlooking I 290. It is appointed with some great art from notable black artists . There is also a banner from Hales Franciscan Class of 1979 , not sure what that’ s all about .. lol! They also do on site catering and have fed the masses after masses at their home church . Check them out ! My fraternity brother has been telling me for years to make the drive and wifey and I finally did and it was so worth it ! .“

“UPDATE: A few months later, I returned good still good and order correct. The kitchen closes as 2:20 tho despite the website.Ordered sandwiches for my birthday and for that day. Both orders were incorrect. I called to confirm the birthday order and that was still incorrect. Food was good tho.“

“I used Uncle Remus truck to cater my event. Customer service was absolutely amazing. I recommend any one to use them for catering. I truly appreciate the service that was provided.“
