I highly recommend this restaurant. My husband and I had been craving saganaki (Flaming cheese). I ordered Feta cheese and lemon wedges on the side. It's always fun to see other patrons reactions to hearing Oompah and see the flame shoot up in the air! We asked our waitress, Amanda, what she recommended. My husband had the baked chicken with red skin mashed potatoes and coleslaw. I had the Stir Fry Chicken with a side salad and a baked potato. Delicious food. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Second visit had to come back second day just to see if the first was a pleasant fluke! It was not! This place is my new favorite !! Hands down not just in BN, not just in Illinois but hands done winner! So hard to get a place with excellent service , speedy food, great taste and wonderful clean dinning! DO NOT PASS this one up!! Even a Sunday morning busy crowd does not deter! Amazing house hot sauce as well! Kudos! Special Thanks to Diane for amazing service!
