Joyce’s Cafe - (Near Vernon, IL)

Cindy Ternes Love the small town feel so off the hwy we came looking for home cooked food. Not disappointed. I had the daily special. Salad, 2 LG pieces of meat loaf with mashed potatoes smothered in brown gravy and green beans. Dessert was choice of icecream. Terrific value for 10.25. Love that a small family runs their own place. Maria the daughter couldnt have been sweeter.

Jay Williams Great food good selection of buffet. Friendly service. Very clean restaurant. Nice family atmosphere. They play older music very relaxing, even though they have music playing you can still enjoy each others conversation and company. Had good dessert selections. Better then golden Corral.

dj sal Im continued to be surprised by some hidden gems! Lu-Bobs is guaranteed to be a GEM for generations. The staff was extremely welcoming, efficient and accommodating. I got the grilled chicken which was seasoned to perfection. The chef grilled the breast to the juiciest state! The corn tasted fresh and cooked exactly to my liking. I skipped the tasty looking piece of bread for a coconut piece of pie. This treat ended my meal like a dream I never wanted to wake up from. The crust felt unique soft yet held together. The fluff and taste of the rest made me cry with happy tears each bite. Extremely recommended...INKed approved.

Melvin C Larry’s Pit BBQ – Sunday Morning Drive-Thru Delight We stopped at Larry’s Pit BBQ bright and early on a Sunday morning at 7:20 AM, and let me tell you—it was worth the early rise. We pulled into the drive-thru, passing the first window where the menu board lives (seems like it’s more for decoration these days) and rolled on to the next window. A pleasant young lady greeted us with a smile and asked if we had called ahead. We hadn’t, but she took our order quickly and with a friendly manner. We went for two breakfast platters: two eggs over easy, perfectly cooked breakfast potatoes, and hearty biscuits smothered in rich, creamy gravy. One platter came with four plump sausage links, the other with four crispy bacon strips—both generous portions that would satisfy any appetite. Payment was quick (yes, they do like to be paid everywhere we go), and the wait was surprisingly short for such a freshly made breakfast. The same friendly young lady brought our order right to the window, hot and ready to enjoy. If you’re looking for a no-fuss, tasty, and hearty breakfast served with a smile, Larry’s Pit BBQ is the place to go. We’ll be back—probably hungrier than ever.

Saul Santiago It looked closed but Im really glad we tried opening the door. A really cozy spot serving up quality pub food with decent pricing and a really welcoming staff and patrons. Owner stopped by when he learned we were from Chicago (he was too) and made us feel comfortable. Stop by if youre in the area and enjoy the food and people

Roger Gant Employees were very loud and rude. Not a single one wanted to actually communicate with us. They were laughing and having a great time in the back cussing up a storm and not caring that people were in the lobby.
