“On our cross country road trip on RT 66, we drove to Chicago from Nashville and stopped at Yannis Cafe for breakfast. We are happy to say that Yannis gets our Best Breakfast in America award. Thank you for your dedicated staff and super good food.“
“On a recent trip down to Manteno for work, a friend pointed me towards Maria's Kitchen, promising it would be worth the detour. They couldn't have been more right. Stepping into the place, I was hit with an atmosphere that felt immediately like home—a rare find when you're miles from Chicago.Maria's Kitchen serves up a delightful mix of dishes that resonate with the soul of Chicago's food scene. From the perfectly seasoned tacos to the heartwarming tamales, and not forgetting the classic Chicago-style burgers and Italian beef, each bite was a nostalgic trip back to the city's bustling streets and diverse flavors.But here's the kicker—despite the high-quality fare, the prices were surprisingly reasonable. It's not often you find a spot that serves up authenticity on a plate without asking for much in return. It's this combination of great food, welcoming vibes, and wallet-friendly prices that sets Maria's Kitchen apart.Behind the counter, the owner and the staff, especially the lovely lady taking orders, were the cherry on top. Their warmth and genuine smiles made the meal even more enjoyable, proving that great service is just as important as great food.To anyone finding themselves in Manteno, or if you're just craving a taste of Chicago without the city rush, Maria's Kitchen is the place to go. Affordable prices, heartwarming food, and a vibe that'll have you planning your next visit before you've even left—this place is a true gem.“
“We make sure to drive the hour down to this great establishment multiple times a year. Sunday fundays are one of our favorites with Cheri and crew who are so impressive at their craft. I only wish we could make it down more often! Highly recommended!“
“I had my food in seven minutes, and it was hot and very tasty. Every time the waitress came out of the kitchen she refilled my water and coffee, every time. She was also extremely friendly and after tax my entire meal was only $11.97. That was for the gyro omelette plus the coffee, anywhere else it would have cost an easy 20 for the same meal and wouldn't have tasted nearly as good. I was out of there in 25 minutes. It's a great place to go sit down in and eat a good meal while eliminating wait times. Especially if you don't have the time to wait.“
“Really great food! I ordered the chicken parmesan and it tasted exactly like how it sounded. The food came out quick and Jeff treated me very well and was very kind! The only complaint I had was the utensils I was given didn't look very clean. In fact, the fork still had lettuce wrapped around it from the previous user. However it didn't bother me since I knew I was using my hands to eat the sandwich anyway. Solid 4.6/5.Vegetarian options: There's not a lot of options. However, there is a couple of things you can get including the pizza grinder.“
“We went to Bourbonnais, IL to get the pickup serviced and we saw this place on Yelp and decided to try it. It is a very good place. The food tastes like home cooking, especially the fried chicken. I would recommend this place. It's a little out of the way, but worth the drive. Try it out.“
“Are server was courteous friendly she smiled ?. She asked if we were ready to order we said no she came back in a few minutes she took her order she brought everything promptly we're very satisfied with the service and the food the food was great.“
“Decent food, waitresses were pretty slow in getting to tables and checking up on you. Took a little time to get someone to take my order or even get a drink. Once she arrived she was friendly but seemed to be overwhelmed by a not that large crowd. Maybe she was new? Worth a stop back though as it seems to be a decent place.“
“A classic American diner experience. We've been here many times, and will be back many more. The staff is always genuinely friendly and pleasant. The food is consistently good, and the prices are reasonable. I frequently get corned beef hash with poached eggs. My husband often gets an omelet. We've never been disappointed. We come for breakfast, but sometimes take slices of pie to go. Deeeeelicious! I recommend Blue's Cafe without reservation.“
“Stopped on Saturday (the day before Easter) and the place was buzzing with happy people and good food. We were a table of 6, and the service couldn't have been better. The young lady with the purple highlights was super pleasant and attentive. What a beautiful personality she has, definitely an asset to Y&B!Features: Called order in and picked it up. Omelets were good.“
“Very tasty entree,scrambled eggs with onions & peppers, American fry’s, Toast and some Amazing Gravy for the top of it. ( best Coffee I’ve had at a restaurant in years) and the waitress (Hi Heather)was very attentive. JustSaynThank, you.“
“Rigo's special offers a chicken breast topped with a crab cake and champagne sauce. Served with a side of mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables, it was incredibly flavorful. There's a reason it was named Rigo's special.We also had Chicken Marcella and chicken parmesan, which were quite good.The menu is much more extensive than listed online, with a list of daily specials.You owe it to yourself to try this one, many times!“

“Stopped in on a recommendation from a friend. Great place, great food, great service! Highly Recommend! The Bacon Wrapped Dates appetizer was very tasty. I had the Sous Vide Pork Chop, Excellent! The wife had the special for the night, Halibut! Very tasty! She did the red wine flight (nice size pours) which she really enjoyed and I had a Bourbon Old Fashioned, very good!!“
“As a first-time customer in need of a quick meal, I opted for take-out service. I ordered the salmon dish, which I found to be exceptionally delicious. The wait staff was attentive and provided excellent service. The atmosphere of the establishment was welcoming and pleasant. In addition to the salmon, I also ordered the beef rib tacos, which exceeded my expectations in terms of taste and quality. I would like to extend my gratitude to all the staff members for their excellent work. Overall, I found the establishment to be of high quality and particularly notable for its cleanliness.“
“Friendly service, clean environment and food is cooked fresh. Very good quality. Compared to a couple others I occasionally visit this one is always top notch on cleanliness and customer service. Their Butterburgers and all food are delicious, and top notch. Cooked fresh and to order. Topings fresh. Tried 5 guys and they can't compare. Culvers pricing is very fair and reasonable for good quality food and 5 guys is very costly in comparison.“
“My wife and I shared the Gyro platter and it was enough food for both of us. Great food and fast service. We were there around 7PM so not very busy at all. Easy access from the road. Highly recommend if you are looking for a tasty Gyro and fries!Parking: Roughly 20-25 parking spots.“
“I've ordered nearly every single thing on this menu and have yet to try something that wasn't good. That being said, their chicken wings along with every single item they serve for breakfast are my favorites. Do not sleep on this place, it is a solid food staple of Kankakee County!“
“We had the most delicious catering for our party from here. Everyone raved about how great the food was! The entire experience was fantastic. They were so easy to work with and went above and beyond for us. I will definitely use them again and recommend them for your catering needs!“
“A great biker destination burger joint. We love this place for our favorite lunch, burger and fries. Casual, stress relief spot, you won't be disappointed. They have specials, more than just burgers, but we never tried anything else. A nice motorcycle ride in the country, a burger n fries, can't beat it.“
“Service was excellent! All you can eat crab legs were good and plentiful- no long wait in between orders. Santa fe chicken soup was out of this world! Things I would change- Baked potato was a little under done and the melted butter had a peculiar taste. Overall very pleased with our first visit!“
“Nice little bar and grill and have eaten here before and food very good but was here for a committee meeting in the back for my first time. I like the thin crust pizza that I had not tried before. I like a thin crust. It’s like a back porch type are which is enclosed and shaded but no air conditioning so thankful the hot summer weather had cooled down a bit…Parking: More crowded than I usually see it but was there for a different reason than a meal.“
“I always love going here! Makes me think of my childhood. Of course their Italian beefs are my favorite, with a side of au ju! Just hopefully their cooler is working in the ordering area this time. Definitely like a cold drink with my food.“
“Very nice hotel. We pulled off the road due to thunderstorms and decided not to white knuckle drive. We were very happy with this hotel and had a nice relaxing night. enjoyed our stay. So much nicer than many of the Best Western's I've stayed in. Perhaps it will put Best Western back on top again. Good job Best Western.“
“My experience from the moment I came in was warm and inviting. The heat was back up and running and it felt good just walking into a warm establishment. The server JoAnna was amazing as usual greeted us, answered our questions for meal suggestions and brought out everything we needed without forgetting a single thing. We will surely be back again to see the familiar faces of our favorite Dennys crew. Thanks for an experience.“
“Denny's has improved incredibly with the remodel of the restaurant, to the menu to the friendly servers. The menu has been improved although has shrunk in choices. I love the nod to the local community with the decor. It's our new go-to when we go out to eat.“
“Love this place! Have been there quite a few times and never disappointed! We went there is past Saturday and got there around 4:30. We were seated with no problem even with a huge party in the restaurant. Food is always delicious. I got the Gouda burger it was the bomb!“
“Went drive thru. Order gyro plate and Greek salad. Very ample amount in each item which can feed more than one person per item. Fresh ingredients and most of all tasted really good. Priced well also.Vegetarian options: Greek salad can be purchase without meat.“
“Love love! Love it. I love the atmosphere with the old Mayberry pictures of everybody and the decorations are fantastic. It brings you back to an old diner that was probably in Mayberry lol. Also, the staff is wonderful and sweet and friendly. The food is great. I've never had anything bad there. I definitely “
