Noteworthy Restaurants

Debbie J’z in Herrin, IL–wonderful chef salad, huge pork steak, kid-friendly, and even an ice cream bar!

Pizza Man in Salem, IL-love the Salem Special pizza (it has just about everything but anchovy) but the french dressing rocks. The family pleaser that comes with a pizza, soft drinks, and salad is a classic. Again, the french dressing is a “must try.”

Smokin’ Snow’s BBQ & More, Salem, IL–wonderful food and prices. The pulled pork rocks!  My 8 year old daughter has also informed me that she LOVES the ribs….

 

 

 

A Lill Taste of Cuba, Marion, IL–wonderful food!  Platano (plantains,) arroz (rice,) pork marinated in mojo, tasty empanadas….great menu.  My daughter especially liked the picadillo empanada.  She has commented on it at least twice since tasting it the other day!  I also love that some of the food is similar to Costa Rica cuisine.  The guava and cream cheese empanadas are another “must try.”
