Restaurants near Newton Lake State Fish And Wildlife Area

We head this way often and always stay one night in Effingham just so we can eat at Firefly Grill. We are never disappointed! Food and service is always excellent!

Our 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!

The food was EXECELLENT, but the service was lacking. The person seating us was confused and probably new and untrained. The waitress was away for long periods of time that extended our stay. The food quality would bring us back.
