The kindness and compassion shown to me by Amanda the owner was something I will never forget, she took away so much stress on the worst day of my life. no matter what you need them for they are excellent to work with. Love going there for dinner also!!!! All the employees are so kind and take very good care of their customers.”

“Best burgers in town! We always get fantastic service there. The food is always cooked perfectly! HIGHLY recommend! We came in with a large table and they didn’t miss a beat with us!”

“We eat here very often the food is great. We did have a problem on Easter Sunday lunch. My husband ordered chicken on the beach and was half the size that it usually is. He orders this all of the time and always very good, very disappointing. I hope management will straighten this out with the cooks. My food was excellent!”

“The chipotle Philly was delicious!”

“We had the buffet. I am very selective when I order fried chicken at restaurants. I love fried chicken and The Villa has the best friend chicken I have ever eaten. Hats off to the person in charge of frying the chicken. I won't mention his name, but he is the best at fixing wonderful friend chicken. My only complaint is I wish the fried chicken was available every day. We will definitely be back many more times in the future.”

“Best Japanese food in town”

“Love this place!!! We come here every week. Bar tenders are awesome the drinks are cheap. Come out for karaoke a band wings pizza or when Saucy Swine food truck is there and get some of the best bbq in the area!”

“Great karaoke place. Darienne is so kind and runs a fun bar. Staff is super nice and the pizza are good with lots of side items to put on them too. They recently expanded their parking lot and will soon have a really cool covered outdoor space current under construction.”

“Highly recommended a peppermint bark hot chocolate! This was recommended by one of the baristas and it was absolutely delicious I will be back for so many more!”

“Hands down the best food in town and can eat cheaper than say umm taco bell. Great staff, great food, my favorite”

“Had a very good experience. Our service was great! Food was excellent! Haven’t been there in awhile, seemed like there were a lot of new workers that weren’t there last time we went. Last time we went service was awful. This time it was great!”

“We always enjoy eating here!”

“Got the Garlic butter parmesan, Spicy pickle chips, Lemon-Strawberry shake-up.Could I say anymore!the photo explains how good it was.Also the lemon-strawberry shake up had real strawberry chunks in it”

“My husband and I eat breakfast there on Sunday morning. Friendly staff and great food. We always look forward to going back.”

“The atmosphere and service are wonderful, but it's the food that makes Hunan my favorite restaurant in Mattoon. After moving to Illinois from California, we were looking for something bigger than a small-town cuisine. Hunan was more than expected. Date night turned into a delicious dinner. My husband had orange chicken, and I had the mushroom chicken, and we shared veggie lo mien. The food was amazing and flavorful. It exceeded our expectations. 100% recommendations. The service was a bit slow, but there was only 1 server, and she did her best to make sure we were taken care of. We will go back!”

“Everything I have ordered from the triple nickel is fantastic!!! The staff is great too!!!”

“I go here once a week and I have no been disappointed ever. Food is fresh and delicious every time.”

“This Chick Fil A has the best service out there!! Special shout out to Abbie Fitzmaurice for serving up some milkshakes for me today! Keep on killing it @ChickFilAMattoon”

“This is the best Chinese restaurant hands down! They are very nice and friendly! Every order is made to order, so it’s always steaming hot! The crab Rangoons are a must try! Never had any others that compare! Soooo good! The lobby isn’t fancy or nice to look at! But it’s a carry out place!”

“Glad to see the Alamo Steakhouse and Salon is still doing business in Mattoon, IL in front of the Cross Country Mall. My first paying job was there in 1982 - it was originally called Fat Albert's Steakhouse and Salon, first started in 1978, not sure when name changed to Alamo, probably sometime in the late 1980s or early '90's. Made $4.50 per hour in 1982 when minimum wage was at 3.10. Not bad. Worked part time, usually Wednesday nights and every Friday, Saturday and Sunday for about 28-32 hours per week. Was a busboy dishwasher. Night shifts could see us not get done cleaning all the dishes until after midnight and sometimes as late as 1 am. Worked a few Saturday/Sunday afternoon lunch shifts but the night shifts were more demanding and crowded. Will never forget their thick and juicy steaks, of which I paid for a few at a discount, the great crinkle cut steakhouse fries and the chocolate cake, which I scarfed from time to time out of kitchen freezers. Great food back then, Manager back then was a man named Mike Cunningham, remember probably five other names but don't want to go into naming names. Man, those chocolate cakes!!! couldn't get enough of those.”

“We went through the drive through and Kennedy greeted us with a welcoming smile. She took my rewards and flavor shot code and then we received our drinks and were on our way.”

“Owners are great, the positive vibes & acceptance of different types of people is a breath of fresh air, the decor is rock n roll & it makes a super fun atmosphere. Prices are beyond reasonable and they also host fun events! Such a different feeling from the other bars in town. This place makes my little punk heart smile. Love em! Favorite bar I have been to in this area!!”

“We have daily drink specials ATM, pool tables, Poker machines, and friendly bartenders.”

“Mahi is literally the best! I love this Dairy Queen! The service is always top tier & my blizzards & food are the best quality. I love being a regular at this DQ. 😁😍”

“Brought family from Indiana to see the Baglefest concert and went to the House Bros after —- The service was phenomenal, the building and outside garden in lovely , drinks were super nice — We don’t “party” but enjoy live music and will be watching more music here —- 5stars !!!!”

“Karaoke on Saturday Night. Pool, ping pong, Jenga and other games!”

“Great food and our young server was phenomenal. It was very busy and it did take a while to get our pizza... but they were VERY busy. The pizza was fantastic. It wasn't overly acidic and had a really great herb mixture... really giving the sauce a robust flavor. I can appreciate the flavor as too many pizza places get far too bland. We would like to visit again.”

“The potato planks are the best!!! Have to get them everytime we come there!!”

“Quality of food is still good if you can get it. Kiosks ordering sucks! To go order took 30 minutes of standing at counter waiting. Not a good decision to switch from the waitress format!”

“I am wanting to write in giving a shout out of awesome customer service to the drive thru and front counter workers on this evenings visit. Larissa, Laura, Gabby, and the young man working with them made an inconvenient corporate policy with online ordering a pleasant experience. It is so nice to see great customer service still exists in a workforce that definitely lacks in that dept.”

“Excellent Food every time! ? We have gone here for years”

“We stopped in for lunch while working in Mattoon last week. We ended up eating there 3 out of 5 days.
It's was one of the best burgers I've had from a fast food type restaurant.
We had a group of 3 and managed to order both 1/4lb burger combos and the 1/2lb burger combos including the ones with bacon.
The portions were more than expected and it was difficult to finish the burgers and large volume of fresh made fries.
The fries are medium sized and remind me of what McD's fries used to be before they became the soggy mess they are now.
If you're looking for a great, thick, and juicy burger with a lot of fries this is your place. 100% recommend and will return for sure.
We ate outside the first day and then in the truck the 2nd and 3rd.
We talked with another couple who were having the fish sandwich and a huge salad and they were also please with their meals and the great value for the money.”

“Went there on 1-8-26 for dinner. The boy that was working BY HIMSELF!! He was really busy with the counter, drive thru and door dash orders. He kept his cool the whole time and waited on customer with a great attitude. Was very proud of this young man.”

“I ordered my sandwich with only onion and received a sandwich drowning in mustard. This is why I give 4 stars. The food tastes like any other burger place really, just the patties are much thinner at Freddy's. As far as the atmosphere is concerned, it was average and quiet.”

“we was there today around 3 pm for my birthday was absolutely fantastic food, amazing service and a fair price the whole experience was 5 star are waiter was Alexa she is amazing .thank you”

“My daughter and I come here quite often on the way to school. Service has always been friendly, fast, and excellent.”

“Food was very good and hot. Staff was good and friendly except for the guy who seated us and acted like he didn’t want to be there. We enjoyed our visit and food yesterday.”
