“Got a "to go" meal here on 4 March, 2025. Very friendly folks, assume the owners. Their kids were running the register - seemed like good kids. Food was great. Very nice selection. Took a lot of different things - all very good. I would definitely go here often if I was a local!! By far the best Chinese in town. Thanks Tonny's - best of luck to you and your family!!”

“We went to Dennys in Vandalia, Il. today . 2/12/26. it was a great noon meal and very reasonably prices . We both had a meal on the (meals under 10 dollars) menu. I would recommend this Dennys as it was fast and friendly service, good food and reasonably priced unlike the Dennys at Effingham Illinois that is slower than snails.”
