My husband enjoys vegetable gardening and we travel through Effingham every time we visit our grown kids in IN and OH. We plan this place as a destination. It has a cool, relaxing vibe and the food and service are outstanding. Today, we enjoyed the lunch menu. We had the cream of mushroom soup, and arugula salads.
My husband had a smash burger and I had the muffuletta. Our server was Harley and she was fabulous. If we lived closer, we’d be eating here all the time

What a great place to stop for lunch on your travels. Yes it’s a slight bit of the beaten path but absolutely worth the detour and they have puppy dog food bowls so cute! The only thing I will recommend is to also bring a bowl of water for the pups. But other than that it was amazing the food was absolutely delicious we had the seasonal butternut squash soup and it was absolutely divine, so was the Muffletta and the best Shoshitos we have had in a restaurant. Thank you feel rba wonderful experience!

WOW!!! I literally was looking for a place to turn around and stumbled across this ABSOLUTE GEM!
I ate at the bar (very nice bourbon selection I might add) Tammy was very cordial and welcoming.
Food was off the chain. House ranch is one of a kind awesome. Pork chop dinner was top notch…can’t say enough good…I will definitely be back and recommend anyone looking in the area DO NOT overlook this place you won’t regret it.

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – outstanding dining experience. 5 star all around- service attentive and courteous, food delicious and pleasant to the palate, nice variety in the menu- we had hummus board, butternut squash soup and salad, Sea bass, ahi tuna, salmon, and dessert to finish a fabulous dinner. Firefly bread pudding, strawberry rhubarb sorbet. Fresh, fresh, delicious.
The atmosphere is relaxing and enjoyable. Full bar available and wine list.

Our family recently dined at Firefly Grill, and it was truly an exceptional experience. Visiting from New York, Boston, and Florida, we chose this restaurant based on its strong reputation — and it exceeded our expectations.

Our group sampled a wide variety of dishes, including the meatballs, chicken ramen, bao buns, caprese salad, and a 4oz filet, along with family-style sides of risotto, polenta, Brussels sprouts, and seasonal vegetables. Each dish was beautifully presented, expertly prepared, and absolutely delicious. The quality and flavor of every item reflected a thoughtful and creative approach to the menu.

Our server was warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed, adding to the overall charm of the evening. The only minor drawback was the pacing of service — some dishes arrived several minutes apart, leaving a few of our party waiting while others had already received their meals.

That said, the overall experience was outstanding, and we look forward to returning. Firefly Grill is a true gem, and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.

Fried green tomatoes were really good. Can’t remember the steak but I enjoyed it also. Definitely will stop by next time I’m in town.

Firefly Grill Farm & Table is an absolute GEM!
What sets this place apart is its commitment to freshness and sustainability—60% of the menu is sourced directly from their on-site farm, and the rest comes from local vendors. You can truly taste the difference.

I started with the warm Bavarian pretzel bread paired with a rich beer cheese dip—comfort food at its finest. For lunch, the steak tacos with truffle fries were spot-on. Flavorful, satisfying, and beautifully presented.

Nicole and Trapper lead an outstanding team that delivers not just great food, but also top-notch service in a fun, welcoming atmosphere. The music is upbeat and lively without being overpowering, adding to the overall vibe.

Evie was my server and she was fantastic—knowledgeable, efficient, and genuinely friendly. She made the experience even better.

Firefly Grill is now a must-stop for me whenever I’m passing through Effingham, and I’m already recommending it to friends and family. 10/10—highly recommend!

This was a stop on our way back to VT last night. A true farm to table restaurant. Salads were outstanding, fresh and vibrant with local ingredients. I had the banger and mash, she had she had the fried chicken. Delicious. Cocktails get a high mark with an excellent selection of bourbons and real italian cherries in the old fashion. Service, pace, ambiance great. Highly recommend.

So good!! The outside looks so fun and cute and the inside is super nice as well. Its very farm to table they grow most of the produce on the menu. We had the Bacon Jalapeno Rangoons , Smoked Berkshire Pork Belly , Roasted Duck Breast , tried a side of the whipped potatoes, and little man had the mac and cheese. Everything tasted wonderful and they had a patio with free fish food ! So little man had a blast. If your in the area I highly reccomend trying this place out !!
Our server was also so sweet and helpful !
