text: This is my favorite restaurant to go in Champaign and if something particularly good happens to me this is where we go to celebrate You have to order carefully it is true The pork barbecue is good the rainbow trout is pretty good if not fried but the main reason to go is the GREENS They have flecks of meat in them which is what makes them good This is the reason that i like southern cooking The biscuits and cornbread are also very good I would avoid all other of their meat entrees particularly their meatloaf which has a really weirdly fluffy and light consistency as if meat had been aerated and transformed into a different substance with different properties and the chicken n noodles which is like condensed chicken soup from a can but with extra slime Beef stew is a disaster even the waitress described it as fatty nnDesserts are insanely huge and can be shared if you are a family of Three of us all had a go at the apple dumpling and barely made a dent in it It went back looking more or less the same as when it arrived The thing I like the most about this place is its multicultural democratic bent Despite the downhome theme of this place which might seem offputting if you are not a white person from the midwest I have always had excellent service here It is also the only restaurant in our town that I have seen that has both a white and a black clientele I have never seen Asian people here except for some people who were clearly part of a bus tour and therefore not there of their own free will
