Restaurants in Mattoon

If you’re looking for a great restaurant in Mt Zion, this is it. Very friendly and efficient wait staff, a well rounded menu and light jazzy background music. We will eat here again soon.

Came 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.

This is a restaurant that can compare with the best in the state. Quality and preparation of the food, as well as the entire staff is outstanding. Many of the employees have been at this restaurant for a long time, some since it opened. Pricing is a little high, but you truly get what you pay for.

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!
