Hoveys Diner - (Near Olney, IL)

Satora Jett Hands down the best pizza around!!

Tim R My wife had been on me to go here, and she caught me in a weak moment (I normally dont go to chains), and it wasnt bad. The server was amazing. The food actually tasted fresh and had a good flavor, except the Cole slaw, which was terrible. But were not here for Cole slaw. The inside is typical Applebees/Fridays/every other similar place. Thats not a bad thing, its just played out. Will I go back? Maybe. But maybe isnt a no, so we shall see.

christopher tripp Smokin’ K’s BBQ & Cajun Cuisine in Marion, Illinois absolutely delivers on authentic Southern and Cajun flavor. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place takes pride in doing things the right way. I was told the beef brisket was the standout item—and it did NOT miss. Perfectly tender with a deep, smoky flavor, it truly needs no sauce. Adding anything would only take away from how well it’s prepared. The dirty rice was another highlight, seasoned with just the right amount of spice and packed with that classic Cajun depth. The fried okra was a brilliant Southern touch—crispy, flavorful, and a great complement to the main dishes. I also asked about the gumbo and they offered me a sample on the spot. That alone says a lot about their hospitality. It was fantastic—rich, balanced, and carrying the perfect amount of heat. If you’re anywhere near Marion, do yourself a favor and stop at Smokin’ K’s. The food, the flavor, and the service make it genuinely worth the trip. Highly recommend!

Craig Lehman 1st time here. Friend ordered the Friday night catfish special. Looked good & he said good. I had the double hamburger & cheese fries. 2 good ⅓# burgers ($7.89) on a toasted bun. The cheese fries ($4.09) were different than expected but very good. Good frozen fries with a styrofoam cup of cheese sauce. Not a lot of parking, at least not in front. Waitress was very friendly & answered all of our questions. Had homemade cream of cauliflower soup as soup of the day. Homemade cherry & dutch apple pies were available for desert.

Jordan Lampe Had a great experience at riverfront grill yesterday! First, we ordered one of their many great draft beer options, the cherry bomb blonde. Then, we hit the salad bar, which was phenomenal! They had a ton of great salad bar options. All of our meals were legit. Not the best Philly I’ve ever had but it was totally up there. The wait staff was nice. The bar was cool. Gambling machines. The coolest part was the outdoor riverfront patio. We hung around after we ate and had a few beers. It was a great environment. I would totally go again!

William Cohn Stopped for dinner and was surprised by the quality of the food. I had the veal, my girlfriend had the ravioli and one of my other friends had the pork chops. The service was attentive. The drinks were good and they were special for the holidays.
