My cousin took us there for the first time. There is NOTHING to complain about. The place is very clean and reminds me of Hard Rock Cafe. I had the brisket, someone had the ribs, and another had the brisket sandwich. The meat was very tender and had a great taste. You could taste the smoke in the ribs. The placed is covered with pictures and albums. It is Awesome!

It is definitely out in the country but on the wine trail. I would and do recommend this resturant.

If you are wanting to eat somewhere on the Shawnee Wine Trail that isn't a winery this Is the place. They have a great outdoor area with fire pits. Everyone in our group had the fish and it was excellent. The waitress was very attentive and they had good drink choices.

Quite by accident, we showed up at Mase's Place in Pomona, Illinois, in time for Friday night's Fish Fry. All-you-can-eat white fish. Everybody in town and everybody from every surrounding town must have been there. Opened in 2007 by Scot and Patty Mason, Mase's is located on the beautiful Shawnee Wine Trail in southern Illinois, between Carbondale and Murphysboro. It is a weekend-only restaurant, open from 5 to 11 on Friday and Saturday and 12 to 5 on Sunday. Reservations are accepted and the kitchen closes at 9:30. So arrive early and hungry. Mase's is a blend of southern cooking, regional wines and tasty and tangy barbecue in an atmosphere of a neighborhood grill. The signature item is BBQ sauce made from scratch by the Mason family. Also pub pickles and fried green beans for appetizers. The seafood on Friday night was fresh and delicious...white fish, tilapia, shrimp and catfish. We started with pub pickles, fried green beans, toasted sausage and cheese ravioli, cheese sticks and Caesar salad, fully a meal in itself. If you aren't inclined to order seafood, other options are baby back ribs, grilled ribeye, smoked pulled pork, 1/2 smoked chicken and the BBQ sampler (choose three from smoked brisket, baby back ribs, pulled pork and chicken breast) for entrees with sides of corn, green beans, baked beans, cole slaw, red potato salad, fries, baked potato or hushpuppies. Sandwiches? Lots of choices, including brisket burger, Super burger, smoked pork, Classic Ruben, smoked beef brisket, grilled turkey burger, Italian beef, grilled chicken and white fish, catfish and tilapia filets. Wash it all down with a couple of big frosty mugs of root beer. Don't forget to browse at the extensive collection of classic 33 1/3 rpm record albums from the 1950s and 1960s. Like Mase's, they'll bring back a lot of fond memories.

Stopped at Mase's on a Saturday evening. I had the fish. It was very good, but the star of the evening was our friends horseshoe. It looked wonderful and our friend ate every crumb. It is a little tricky to get to the location but worth the time.

A great place to visit for a cold drink, a snack or a full meal. The Friday Night Fish Fry is really good.
