- PPatriciaChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoCame to Firefly for a family Christmas celebration. Only 3 people so our server was able to keep on top of refills, special requests, etc. Hubby loves fine dining and thoroughly enjoyed his meal! Grandchild tried a new food (for them) and was pleasantly surprised at how great it was. I appreciated the variety of the menu even though I stuck to my favorite, Steak! Of course the desserts were luscious. Firefly will be our 'extra special' destination in the future.More infoFirefly GrillPrice: Moderate• Unspecified• Effingham•4.8
- JJudiChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined on Oct 22, 2024Our party of 12 enjoyed a fabulous dining experience. The appetizers were delicious - we had fried mushrooms, onion petals, spinach artichoke dip with chips, and cheesy jalapeno poppers. The entrees were served quickly and piping hot. The fall specials of bourbon apple butter burger and the apple butter pork chops were especially tasty. The pricing is very reasonable for the quality and the quantity of the food served. The staff very graciously and perfectly accommodated our request for seating due to mobility issues for some in our group. And of course, it is always fun to watch the "robot" deliver drinks to the table! We will go back often!More infoWindsor's PubPrice: Moderate• American• Effingham•4.1
