- DDavidVIPChicago / Illinois •33 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe detour through Effingham every chance we get and have enjoyed the restaurant for years. Noticed how prices have creeped up a big notch but that’s inflation unfortunately. What bothered me this time is that most everything comes with only a side of French fries or mashed potatoes. That’s a starchy high carb food and it’s a problem because the restaurant doesn’t allow substitutions, even for a small upcharge. So, you have to pay full price for a big serving of vegetables or salad. Not a good value, and not recognizing the fact that starchy foods contribute to and exacerbate, diabetes, growing epidemic. The other thing that bothered me is there was an unexplained 5% service charge added to the bill, which I’m then supposed to tip on top of. Do I tip 15% to the 5%, or 20% on top of it?More infoFirefly GrillPrice: Moderate• Unspecified• Effingham•4.8

- JJudiChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined on 22 Oct 2024Our party of 12 enjoyed a fabulous dining experience. The appetizers were delicious - we had fried mushrooms, onion petals, spinach artichoke dip with chips, and cheesy jalapeno poppers. The entrees were served quickly and piping hot. The fall specials of bourbon apple butter burger and the apple butter pork chops were especially tasty. The pricing is very reasonable for the quality and the quantity of the food served. The staff very graciously and perfectly accommodated our request for seating due to mobility issues for some in our group. And of course, it is always fun to watch the "robot" deliver drinks to the table! We will go back often!More infoWindsor's PubPrice: Moderate• American• Effingham•4.1
