Thanks to google, i found this gem in Effingham. I literally couldn't love a menu more. We were headed to Florida and this was... the best place to get our cuban on and get us excited Read more

Excellent food! Great atmosphere. Only downside is it isn't open very much or for very long when it is open. It was pleasantly... busy! Great eating experience! Read more

YEA! What an amazing small restaurant! This is a jewel in the crown of Arcola. Enjoyed a scrumptious lunch there this week. ... Chef Gary is a master of original, homemade cuisine. The bowl of Mushroom-Artichoke soup accompanied by fresh, warm garlicbread was delicious to say the least. This was followed by the always yummy Grouper sandwich. The grouper was plentiful andprepared to grilled perfection. The accompaniments of a tasty sauce, fresh greens and sweet red onion between a homemade bunadded to the perfection. I chose the Kale salad as a side. Excellent, in the fact, that the kale was baby kale with asprinkling of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Had a small taste of my luncheon partner?s desert. Oh my, Peach-RaspberryMelba. Homemade vanilla ice cream surrounded by poached peaches all topped with raspberry sauce and large, fresh redraspberries. Chef?s homemade ice creams are scrumptious and vary depending on the menu he designs daily. One extra note, Chefhad some of his baking expertise available for sale in the form of small loaves of a sweet cinnamon, brown sugar, maple bread. Excellent with morning coffee or afternoon tea. And, small loaves of Italian bread. Treat yourself to a memorable DailyKneads? lunch as often as you can. Remember no credit cards. And, this is not a fast food venue!!! Read more

If you're looking for a Cuban Flair this is the place to go. It's very small and is only open from 11 till 2 just serving lunch,... but the food is amazing. I got a 7 ounce hamburger with avocado on it, came with a side of fries, the fries are just excellent,best fries I've ever eaten, crispy and very light with a touch of seasoning that I can't describe, very good. My wife got aCuban Flair grilled cheese sandwich, came with the Tomato base type of dip reminded her a little bit of tomato soup but thickand chunky and very good. Also with a side of Cuban style succotash, corn, black beans, onions, peppers and tomato bits, and manwas it good. I highly recommend trying it. The owner seemed very friendly, cash and check only, very quaint. The only reason Ididn't give it 5 Stars is because it's only open from 11 to 2 and it is a little pricey. Read more
