- BBobbiChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoOur party of 4 all enjoyed our meals. The food was hot and very tasty. We also enjoyed some specialty cocktails and they were delicious too. It was a bit warm in the restaurant - I think the patio screens were open but the AC was not cooling the inside. They were very busy so it took a little while to get our meal but we had no complaints!More infoThe FourNinePrice: Moderate• American• Mount Zion•4.8
- LLyndaChicago / Illinois •11 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe had a wonderful experience at Firefly. We stopped overnight in Effingham after traveling home on I-70. This restaurant was very close to our hotel (Hampton Inn). Not really walkable to there, but only a one minute drive. It was a nice evening and we were able to eat out on the porch. We ordered the hummus w focaccia….absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the egg plant Parmesan and I ordered the meatballs in marinara sauce (it was an appetizer) along w ditalini in a cheese sauce. Food was excellent. Wait staff was very good. If we were traveling through this area again, we would definitely eat there again.More infoFirefly GrillPrice: Moderate• undefined• Effingham•4.8
