Hungry? Not for long! Today we’ve got one of our favorite places to visit when we’re hungry for something filling. We don’t mean the kind of place where you walk in, order from the menu and get on with your day. We mean the kind of place you plan for. The kind of place you skip a meal the day before to prepare for. This spot will have you feeling satisfied and full for the rest of the day.

You could say that Dustie's Southern Style Buffet in Matteson was a long time coming! Owner, Dr. Kenneth Lewis Sr., was hatching entrepreneurial plans all the way back when he was just 8 years old. While we appreciate that, we're glad he moved on from selling vegetables from the back of a truck to create one of our favorite restaurants in the state back in 1997!
