Self serve buffet in a family friendly casual setting. Southern Illinois favorites like chicken and dumplings, liver and onions, fried chicken. Plenty of salads and toppings and side dishes as well. Desserts which work on a buffet line such as jello, pudding and soft serve. Servers available for drinks, table settings. Iconic restaurant in Chester for simple, like homemade food and plenty of it.

I was enamored by the existence of a smorgasbord after taking the scenic route and ending up in Chester. After running around to all the Popeye statues we worked up an appetite, so we were ready to eat! The food was nothing to write home about, but it was tasty, home-style food. The meatloaf was a highlight for us. The only bad thing was the cornbread muffins were awfully stale. Our server was super sweet and bubbly. The place definitely looks like it hasn't been updated since the 90's, but I think it adds to the charm.

Having family thanksgiving dinner here, as we do every year. Always good, I enjoyed the turkey and gravy More than last year. I'm full happy and will return.

Back at Reid's again for Good Friday. Best around. Drove 425 to get here. And well worth the trip! Been eating here over 45 years and still delicious!

Came here straight off a red eye and a lot of waiting to get my car. I was starving and the locals said the food was good. Well it is really good. The service is nice and the prices are really good! Next time I'm in town I will def come back!
