Bread Pudding with Poached Pears & Caramel Rum SauceFirefly Grill (1810 Mid America Avenue) is a pleasant culinary surprise in Central Illinois. Located at the cross-roads of I-57 and I-70 midway between St. Louis and Indianapolis, Firefly is tucked away behind the unsightly freeway staples of franchise fast foods and big box retailers.
From their website: "Firefly's menu changes daily and boasts fresh seafood, oak fired steaks and brick oven pizzas. Firefly uses local ingredients whenever possible and fresh herbs and vegetables straight from their very own garden!"
The interior is open and airy. There is a porch with more tables overlooking a "lake" behind the restaurant. Casual business attire was worn by most in the lunch time crowd. The truckers and weary travelers found at some other Effingham restaurants weren't present at the Firefire Grill. Chopped wood for steaks and pizzas is stored in the front of the building. Native-style grasses are planted around the building. A more detailed review is available from Chicago Tribune.
