My sister and I had the pleasure of dining at Firefly Grill in Effingham, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. The restaurant was packed so we were invited to sit at the bar, and we were warmly welcomed by two incredible bartenders, Tammy and Allison, who provided exceptional service. They were attentive, friendly, and added a personal touch that made the experience even more special. The atmosphere was perfect--inviting, cozy, and beautifully designed. It set the stage for an unforgettable meal. I ordered the filet mignon, which was cooked to absolute perfection, tender, and bursting with flavor. My sister had the salmon, and it was equally outstanding--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Each bite was a testament to the care and creativity the chefs put into their dishes. Firefly Grill exceeded our expectations in every way. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for an exceptional dining experience, this place is a must-visit. If we're ever traveling through Effingham again, we'll definitely be back!

We came upon this hidden gem when we were pulling up to charge our Rivian with their fast chargers. This spot is beautiful! Awesome location and the grounds and restaurant are beautiful. We had our sweet greyhound with us, so the team set up a nice spot outside in the patio by the fireplace. The menu is great. We had the crab purses (similar to a crab rangoon but better), calamari, Caesar salad with chicken, honey hot pizza (add jalapeños), and split a burger. For drinks, we had hot toddies. The team was exceptional and the food was amazing. Organic, homemade, and delicious. We are so happy we stumbled on this spot on the way to St. Louis. We will make it a stop when traveling through again!

Stopped here for dinner tonight. It was so good! I ordered the Chicken Noodle soup, good portion, well seasoned, chunks of chicken, carrots, onion, ramen noodles, very good. My friend had the 12 oz. NY strip, med rare with French fries. It was tender, cooked correctly, and my friend said it was very good. Service was excellent. Would definitely recommend eating here, and when in this area I would return.

Stopped to get a pizza to go after work. Very helpful and attentive wait staff at the front desk. Got the sausage and mushroom pizza and added pepperoni to it. was pleased to see the black olives when I opened the box. Wood fired oven which made the fairly thin crust very crunchy which I like! Definitely will order again if I'm in the area working!

Vibe: saw huge sign on interstate 70 that said "I Love Firefly Grill" so I asked Siri about it and was told it is farm 2 table and has 4.5 stars Seating: arrived around 1:30 pm on a Saturday just after lunch crowd left Service: top notch***** Ambiance: lovely ***** Food: Spectacular!!! ***** This place made my day!!! Driving for hours today and on the road 3 weeks Ive eaten my share of different foods. This was the best I've eaten in the past month! And that's saying something bc I've been through 11 states and only had fast food once. Try and get a table next to the windows bc the view is so soothing while dining. I noticed they even have charging stations for your electric car. I can't recommend this place enough. Total surprise to find it and would not have if not for their sign. Perfect placement, perfect food choices that were unusual, perfect parking situation, perfect concept of farm to table, perfect wait staff, perfect all around!
