“This is a long time Marion Restaurant located north of town off Highway 37. I have eaten there dozens of times over the years. The food is always good. I like the BBQ, fish sandwiches, and wings. Atmosphere can best be described as casual. If you're looking for a good meal you won't be disappointed. It opens at 11am. They don't serve breakfast.”

“This is one of our favorite restaurants! The food is phenomenal and the customer service is even better! We are always greeted warmly and the owners always remember how much our son loves their naan! Our favorite is the tikka masala, but we are always excited to try the other selections on the buffet.”

A new layout makes it easier to get through the hog trough. Asian buffet items are very good and kept refreshed. Reasonable pricing. Wait staff are quick and friendly.”

“My man kept calling me pookie one afternoon, had a good laugh when we pulled up to this place later :D We were just driving through and needed a place to decompress for a bit. The service was killer!! We hung out with our NA beers (sober) and played bocce ball. It’s a fun game if you’re a fun person! We had really fantastic burgers and everyone seemed to be vibing in this place.”

“We ate at The Turn for the first time last night to celebrate our anniversary. I had heard that their food was very good and I have to say that all the reviews were right and the service was good. We had the rib eye steak which was seasoned just right and was tender and easy to cut along with asparagus on the side and mashed potatoes. Also the drinks were fabulous and made fresh. We will definitely be going back.”

“This restaurant has been at Lake of Egypt for decades. The food and service is always great. I usually get Wings, Ribs, or the Brisket sandwich. Never have had a bad meal.”

“We love kb’s! The food is delicious! The service is great!! We have eaten there for years!!One if our favorite restaurants!!”

“Hostess and supervisor very rude and think it's okay to degrade a group of older women when all they did was ask for things that should have already been delivered to their table. I couldn't believe how condescending the hostess was to them! To say I'M NOT YOUR WAITRESS!!!! Wow. Then for the supervisor to laugh it off. Unprofessional and because of that, we will not be back.”

“I called, in typical husband fashion, basically last minute: they still came in clutch for my wife’s birthday cake. It was Black Forest (or something) and she cried: not because it was gross. She was happy because it was special and adorable and Larry’s made it happen. So, thank you.”

“Thank for the free birthday coffee!”

“I had the Italian Beef sandwich with peppers and onions. I really enjoyed it and would get it again. The fries were enough for 2 and I love the shakes. My only suggestion: offer a 2nd size, Larger shake. :)”

“Had an excellent experience! The guy at the counter had great communication skills and was even able to answer all our questions without making us feel like we were bothering him. Everything well stocked. And clean.”

“Just stopped at this Panera for some soup, sandwiches, and bagels. We got through the line and realized that neither of us brought our wallets?! So we asked the person at the window to cancel our order and he said not to worry about it and he would pay for it! What a sweet person. You deserve a raise! The world is a better place because of people like him.”

“Their Slim n’ Trim strawberry smoothie is the best!!! If you’re in the area around the Hub in Marion, I strongly urge you to give them a try!!!!”

“Went with my family for supper tonight, was seated right away food was great. The reason for the 4 star review was the service. I ordered the country fried steak, it came with eggs hash browns and my choice of bread. I told my waitress I wanted biscuits and ask for butter. Then I added a order of biscuits and gravy also. when our food arrived I noticed the waitress had forgotten my biscuits that came with my country fried steak dinner. I was told they gave me biscuits with my gravy, when I asked about my biscuits n butter that came with my meal, I was told they put the biscuits with my gravy and only charged me for a bowl of gravy. When I ask why when I ask for biscuits and butter because it came with my meal (I wanted it for my eggs) I was told again She had giving me 2 biscuits. the waitress then held up 4 fingers and said you want 4 biscuits?? I said I want what came with my meal. Then again she held up 4 fingers and said if you want 4 biscuits I can bring you 4 biscuits at that point I was just fed up with the conversation and asked if I could please get some butter. The butter was cold and was not spreadable lol The entire time we were there we were not offered a refill on our drinks, two of our party of 4 finished half of there meal with no drinks. The food was really good just was really disappointed in the service.”

“I heard about this Italian Restaurant by the Staff at the Hotel I was staying at in Marion Illinois just to great of a name not to try this Resturant. Food was excellent ok with pricing, Good Italian Pizza. So, clean.”

“Don't come here if you are in a hurry. Because they are not. The parking lot was practically empty and only two tables were occupied when we arrived. We were there 25 minutes before they even dropped the country fried steak into the fryer. $5 for 3 small pieces of paper thin bacon. The gravy was cold. The group that came in much later than us had their food at the same time as us. Toilet paper in the back womens bathroom stall was not accessible. It seemed the latch that allowed that second roll to to be accessible when the first roll was gone was broken. The other toilet looked like it hadn't been flushed in some time. The eating area did appear cleanly. They did keep your coffee cup full.”

“Excellent food and service.”

“I come to this subway often and me and my husband always enjoy seeing Rachel the worker she recognizes us and She always makes our sandwiches hot and goes above and beyond! Love the steak and cheese wraps too”

“Great service bartender kailyn great attitude love talking to her customers I'll be back”

“Thanks Richard for always reminding me to add the cookie to my order so I don't get in trouble when I get home.”

“Clean, very friendly guy at counter, but new allotments are gettin' a tad skimpy not lookin' as full as the picture, like 2 slices of turkey instead of maybe 4 in the new Baja bliss?

Vegetarian options: It's nice for gluten freers too cuz you can get it as a salad”

“If you haven't tried this place you'd should! It was very affordable with filling servings! Imagine it this was, it's a subway but for Mexican foods! The atmosphere was calming and bright and the ones behind the counter had great attitudes!!Husband enjoyed his 14 inch burrito and I went with Doritos nachos! A good spot for limited income or a family!! My nachos stuffed my box!!”

“Great soulfood and a hell of a waitress”

“Very friendly staff nice atmosphere saw lots of deer and turkeys. Nice open area nice clean shower/bathrooms.Close to town definitely coming back”

“I wanted to give a shout-out to Jackpot Joe’s and their wonderful staff. Stopped in there on Friday and I can’t even begin to tell you how great of an experience we all had while we were there. Very courteous, thoughtful and accommodating staff! On a scale of 1-10 I give them a 15! Will define back!”

“Food was delicious and they brought the soup before we even ordered! Great value for the money.”

“Had seafoid combo for dinner tonight and it was FANTASTIC as usual. It is not often that I get food spicey hot enough that also has fantastic flavor”

“Great food and service. Staff is always friendly and the place is clean.”

“We stopped by just passing through. The guys was amazing but the guy i dealt with had zero customer service skills. He initially tried to charge me 40 something dollars for a meal just for me plus a few small sides. When i tried to explain, he had a horrible attitude. I still paid 20 something for one meal plus 2 egg rolls and a chicken on a stick. But the food was absolutely great.”

“We went here for our anniversary dinner and I am glad we did. It's a small restaurant with a great atmosphere. The people working there are very personable and friendly. The menu is large and offers a great variety. I had the filet mignon and lobster hibachi and it was absolutely delicious. It was full of meat and perfectly cooked vegetables in a great tasting teriyaki sauce. They also offer a huge variety of sushi. I will definitely be eating there again!”

“great ppl and great coffee”
