Been looking for a great burger place in Carbondale ever since Fat Patties closed down.

Loved the sharwarma meal that they got in this place. Very friendly customer service as soon you enter the door & take your order. For the waiting time, I'm not complaining because it's not long at all. I've always got the correct item. Also, I've been here a few times before & it's been consistent. I'll definitely come back there again.

New shawarma place! I have been there twice in a row and they were super busy both times to the point of selling out of falafel and hummus. The staff is beyond gracious and actually made hummus for me while I was eating my gyro. The first time I had the chicken shawarma and the next time I had gyro. Both were very good. I am working my way down the menu. The portions are big. They also have quite a nice selection of desserts that I have yet to try.

Great experience! Even though the place was busy, everything was handled really well. When you go out to eat, you have to remember that a full restaurant means the staff is working hard to serve everyone, so a little patience goes a long way. You can’t expect to walk into any restaurant and have the food already done the moment you arrive, good food takes time, and it’s worth the wait. The staff here stayed friendly, professional, and truly phenomenal the entire time, making sure everyone felt welcomed and taken care of despite the rush. The food was absolutely amazing, especially the fried chicken wings. They were crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly with just the right amount of seasoning. You can tell they take pride in their cooking and in their service. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with great vibes, outstanding staff, and some of the best wings I’ve had in a while. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I loved the Shawarma I had. I had it with fries inside the sandwich and arugula. My friend got the Philly steak sandwich with the onion rings. He loved them a lot. The workers there are friendly and super welcoming. They have a variety of desserts which I get twice a week at least and have them with coffee. Next time I’ll try their fresh juices. I heard they are good too.

We went to a spot in Carbondale called A Munch Station. Seth, Gordon, and the young lady (I forgot her name) recommended the chicken shawarma. It was really good — thanks for the hospitality!”

This is a great, new Mediterranean place. We got a gyro bowl and chicken Schwarma bowl that had rice as the base and you can choose from a bunch of different vegetables and sauces. We also got some baklava and a cherry dessert which was also very good. They were very busy but efficient and friendly. I will definitely be back as the food was very good!

Cool place. They also have air conditioning, so it’s a cool cool place. Food takes a minute or two to make, which isn’t a complaint, but a heads up to anyone who might be in a hurry. Food was good and at a reasonable price, except for Illinois taxes Would be great to get an RC Cola with my meal though.
