Wasn't really looking for a restaurant that specializes in home cooking/comfort food, but this one popped up online in Fairview Heights Illinois. Looked promising so I found it and decided to give it a chance. OMG!! Walking in the door, the 1st thing to hit me was a smell of deliciousness 😋, the owners met me and we introduced ourselves, got the story of who they are and what they want to do here. (Did I mention the awesome smell?), I am impressed by their vision and plans for this place. So many things to be offered to the customers on a rotating basis. I simply ordered an Italian beef sandwich and some fried rice. Mild Giardinara on the beef, mind you, they do NOT advertise this as a Chicago Italian beef, so the Giardinara was a pleasant surprise!

Read moreI asked for a refund after being given $7 “bubble tea” (the most I have ever paid for bubble tea) because it was not even real bubble tea. Even though it was overpriced, I still tipped. This place kept the tip after giving me my refund? That is borderline predatory and 100% unprofessional. I’d avoid this place. I am honestly floored at how unprofessional they were. The guy was hostile toward me from the minute I walked in. I literally waited 10 minutes for the bubble tea. They tried arguing with me about what bubble tea is supposed to be like, as well as complaining about IL vs MO prices. Terrible experience. Can’t believe they’re in...
