   Everything was wonderful with the exception of the coffee. The last 2-3 times we’ve visited we have ordered a cup to drink with our decadent dessert. It is machine -made coffee and very bitter and tasteless. We miss the brewed coffee we enjoyed at Firefly for years. Coffee should be final flavor profile to top off a great meal!

   Dinner was fantastic. We have not had a bad experience here. The food is amazing. I like that the menu changes. The Thai fried chicken was wonderful as was the braised beef bao bun. We had the orange shortbread for dessert, was light and refreshing. Definitely recommend restaurant.

   Steak, Seafood, a burger or vegetarian meal, they have something for every palate. They have a full bar with specialty cocktails. This is a special restaurant at the half way point across the state of Illinois. Well worth the stop.

   This is impossibly the best restaurant I ever ever eaten. From April to October I’ve eaten at this restaurant twice a month since 2019 traveling from Texas to Michigan. Shout out to Sam he’s out with his back. I would say this is the best of the best of the best. Worth traveling from any point in the US to visit. Love you guys from Keene, Murray and our dog Donut

   Food was awesome. They're now adding a $4.50 service charge fee to all checks but the hostess didnt know what the charge went towards.

   Jason, thank you for your kind words, we're so glad you enjoyed the food! We appreciate your feedback about the service charge. To help offset rising costs and maintain the quality of our ingredients and service, a 5% service charge is added to all checks. That said, we completely understand and are happy to remove it upon request. We'll make sure our team is better informed moving forward. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

   We celebrated our wedding anniversary at the Firefly because it’s the best restaurant in Effingham for such an occasion. Our waiter, Dylan was outstanding and the food was excellent. My wife had the salmon and I had the honey fried chicken.

   We had eaten here one other time and we planned our trip to Texas through Effingham to eat there again! It is a lovely place with geese, gardens and a pond with fish. The waitress was great, but the food was all way over "sauced." The salad was drenched with dressing and the Brussel Sprouts were swimming in sauce. On the plus side, they do not cook with seed oils!! The Cream Brulee was delicious!

   Martha, thank you for making us a planned stop on your way to Texas — we’re honored! We're glad you enjoyed the ambiance, service, and crème brûlée, and we truly appreciate your kind words about our commitment to cooking without seed oils. We’re sorry to hear the dishes felt over-sauced and will pass your feedback along to our kitchen team for review. We hope to welcome you back again soon and make your next visit even better!

    What a delightful restaurant! We were driving thru Effingham on our way home to KC. This restaurant rivals anything KC has to offer!! We stop here every time we drive to the east coast to visit family. It is the Bomb!!!
