The Meltdown - (Near Effingham, IL)

Justin Dunlevy Best restaurant in this area hands down! Family owned and hospitality focused. Food is great and portions are plenty. Full range menu + salad bar anyone can find what they want to eat here.

Bill A cozy Italian experience in an earthy space with warm & welcoming staff. The meal was solid: the arancini were crispy and rich, the pappardelle had a lovely texture with hearty short ribs, and the risotto was full of flavor with tender lamb cubes. The pork shank was also satisfying, accompanied by well-seasoned vegetables. For dessert, the crème brûlée was decadently rich, while the butternut squash cheesecake was flavorful without being overly sweet. Overall, a hearty and low-key Italian fare in the heart of Lincoln Park.

Thatcher Clayton Good food. Decently priced. I didn’t catch the name of the name of our server but she was very nice and patient. I’d recommend the fries as they were 10/10. Also I loved the train decor

Dave Abraham In town visiting family and had an amazing lunch. Burritos, quesadillas, tamales, enchiladas, rellenos, rice and beans all amazing.

Awais A Burgers and fish and chips were fantastic. Great atmosphere with friendly service. We enjoyed their patio and overall vibe was good.

Scott Budnik Picked this place because the name sounded cool. The menu is soul-food-amazing! Lively atmosphere, and looks like a great place for a family party, or birthday party, because there was one going on. Our waitress Mariah was right...the BEST fried green tomatoes anywhere... crispy on the outside, firm on the inside and amazingly spiced.
