Restaurants in Alton

“Last time I came here the food was good but my server was literally so hot he blinded me. I had to get eye surgery and I’m still recovering. I think his name is wiley or guylie or something but it has been a long recovery and I don’t blame him at all I would still come back 10/10”

“Wonderful food, beautiful interior, great atmosphere and friendly and great service. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Celebrated a friend’s birthday and the evening could not have been better! Our server, Rose did a fabulous job. 4 out of 5 of us had never dined here before and Rose was so helpful with her recommendations from the menu. We started with a couple appetizers, toasted artichoke hearts and stuffed mushrooms. Both apps were very good. My pepperloin with a side of blue cheese and bacon potatoes was delicious and the steak was cooked to perfection. Tony’s is a great place for a special occasion or a date night. We will definitely be back!”

“This is a perfect good ol'tavern. Exactly what I like if I go to have a drink. Bartender s are great, atmosphere is fun and friendly, it's a cheers for the motorcycle club and friends. Always a good time. Sam and Woody are not serving you it Missy, Michelle, or as they call Cheyenne " the new girl" you can't go wrong with any of the three. And if you are lucky enough to run into Elliot or some other regular faces, you have a great day ahead!”

“Love this place so, relaxing with a tv for sports. We hope soon EPL will be playing on the screens❤️”

“The snoots n rib tips were fire💥💥”

“The lady there the day I visited was very friendly and gave out good vibes and made sure periodically that I didn't need anything.. She was great. Most places like this the workers don't interact an check on the customers... She greeted me checked my identification then ask if I'd like a drink very friendly then wished me luck. After that checked on me here and there but wasn't bothersome.. I had great time...”

“Been here several times it either packed and exciting or its pretty empty.. but either way nice place to go have a few and chill out.”

“WOW!!! This is the best BBQ in town. My first time and I will absolutely be back 😋. I had the pork steak as it was highly recommended and also ordered ribs 10/10!!”

“Killer breakfast. Breakfast links homemade magic. Good ole diner from 60’s. Lots of flashbacks to a wonderful childhood. Like all other restaurants, prices are much higher than they used to be.”

“Maeva’s has been my daily driver for just over four years now. Their seasonal drink selection is always delicious yet complex. Their house roasted coffee is to die for so pick up a bag for your mornings at home. Their baked goods and soups are delicious and the portions are great for the price. If you’ve never visited this hidden gem, I highly recommend you do it asap!”

“stopped by today for Bog Pony lunch Smithwick's beer and Red brest Whiskey. Food and service authentic prompt, friendly and reminded me of my trip to Ireland. Highly recommend this establishment”

He eats biscuits and gravy sausage links and fried potatoes there. when before we went there he wouldn't eat anything but McDonald's. so glad to have this place to go to. Plus like I said super friendly place with awesome service”

We're from Arkansas..

“The best :) always recommend them to anyone looking for a place to eat.”

“Good donuts usually good service. Last visit we were the only customer at 430p on a Friday. Girl was in a hurry to get us out and they were mostly out of donuts ( I was getting them after work for Saturday morning work). Iced long John’s were icing down in the bottom of the box and donuts I asked for in addition to the dozen for work weren’t in the bag or the box. Like I said great donuts and hopefully next time it’ll be a better experience.”

“This is hands-down our favorite place to grab a fabulous hot latte, and they have the best turkey club wraps on the planet! We drive 30 miles to take in the atmosphere and the casual food and beverages!”

“This donut was amazing omg getting this more often”

“Great food and great people!!”

“Space cafe tacos gets 5 stars. Amazing food and service! Cool little place to enjoy outside drinks and food. Highly recommend”

“the snackers are the best, hands down!”

“I wish I could say something good about today's visit to Castelli's... ●Always a highlight when we want to go out to dinner and drive the hour it takes to get there... Their fried chicken has always been a delight to look forward to... But today's experience was a big disappointment... The chicken prices have gone up and the chicken piece sizes have gone down... The dark chicken pieces I received were Lilliputian in size... I thought a mistake had been made, for when I saw my drumstick, I thought they were part of a wing.... I asked the waitress ( More on her later) about the small size and she agreed it was small and she would bring me 2 more.... I had finished with my meal by the time the extra drumsticks arrived, so I took them home.... The drum sticks that I took home were no bigger than the ones I was served at the restaurant... Once home, I measured the drumsticks and they were each less than 4 inches long ... The service was very sub par.... Never were we asked for our water to be refilled.... And not until the end of the meal did she ask to refill our other beverages... Like I said, Very disappointed today... It will be awhile before I darken their door again....”

“Food is amazing! That espresso tart is awesome.”

I was planning on getting several meals but contacted them to see if they did bulk orders. fun facts they do and they nailed it! food was still very hot by the time I got it across town.

Here's your warning: We'll be back!”

“Love it here! Let's go alton and angel is doing a great job!”

“Chubby's grill and garage is a wonderful place to grab a big juicy burger, fries, and appetizers. Great food specials weekly, as well as drink specials. It is family friendly. The staff are all super friendly people. The owner is a stand up guy, and you can tell he really cares about his customers and he treats his employees with love and respect like any great owner would. I would HIGHLY reccomend this place to ANYONE looking to have some great food, drinks, and fun. The hours are 11am to 11pm, kitchen is 11am to 10pm. this place is an absolute gem 💎.”

“Tere Shaw is a great hostess, she greeted me as I came in, she made certain I was comfortable while I was there, and as I left she made me feel like I was welcome to come back?A person like Tere is a rare find‼️”

“The food is amazing. Weve tried nearly everything on the menu and it has yet to disappoint. The weekly specials that are off menu have also been really good. The small patio typically houses a small band. The inside is nice and quiet. The wait staff is really knowledgeable and very kind. The food is made to order. The steak has been consistently cooked to temp. Highly recommend. The new chef is great”

“We searched for reviews on this place, & only found one. It deserves more, food is outstanding, friendly atmosphere, & excellent pricing. Def a 5 star focused on the customer!!!!”

“Everything about this place is good friendly bartenders ,food home cooked. The owner Mike Always makes you feel welcome, yep That's Mike theGreek . His parents owned it before him.”

“We came on a Saturday night and the bar was full but all the tables were empty. I had been here 10 years earlier and the pizza was great! We ordered the bacon cheeseburger bombs, the steak and shrimp Alfredo, the spinach and bacon tortellini and my son had enchiladas. The steak was so tender, the bacon amped up the tortellini dish and my son was raving about the Mexican! The women’s bathroom made us laugh! There was a barstool right next to the commode, the toilet was elevated so someone short would be on their tiptoes and the mirror was hanging. It was a great experience and the food and service were top notch!!!”

“I've stopped in here a few times since I live just down the road from it. The times I've gone in, it wasn't too busy, but they tell me they have a good time on a Saturday night. It's really not your best bet if you want food. They serve your basic frozen pizzas and the like, but nothing remarkable. Sammi's Subs, next door, is another story though. EXCELLENT sandwiches (but they aren't open late). Like another reviewer said, I think Norb's is a great dive-bar with some pool tables and darts. Probably the most fun if you bring a friend or two, and preferably ones who like to play pool or darts. I believe they were cash only at the bar, and they didn't really have a lot of drink specials when I went. So bring cash.”

“Always dependable for excellent service & food. Staff friendly & helpful. ABSOLUTELY LOVE BREAD CO!

Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: This is no problem, definitely w/c friendly”

“Really really cool place, but seems to be going through staffing pains. I'd say both one and five star ratings are justified depending on how much attention you can get from the overworked staff. The stage/ambiance is amazing and I really enjoyed my food.”

“Hong Kong House - How Happy I am to have you opened again! The ONLY Chinese Restaurant in the Alton area that serves REAL Chinese Veggies in their meals - NOT frozen peas, carrots, & corn. I ordered the Veggie Fried Rice - served with thinly sliced carrots, bean sprouts, water chestnuts, baby corn, and bamboo shoots just to name a few. We also had Hunan Chicken Combo Plate with Fried Rice and Crab Rangoon - Yummy. Again lots or real fresh veggies without being over loaded with huge chunks of onion. Love Love Love the food here”

“Never one to complain publicly, but for a while the food was not consistently good here. I don’t know what changed, but last two visits were fantastic! Keep up the good work!”

“China King is my favorite Chinese food in this area. Especially if you are a crab rangoon fan like myself, THEE best around here! They are quick and efficient. Not somewhere I would sit and eat but great for take out. Veggie St Paul, veggie lo mein, fried dumplings, egg rolls, general tso's are all good. They even sell some quality natural care products like lotion, tooth paste, and face masks. My last fortune cookie from there had 4 fortunes in it! Made me feel pretty lucky!

Vegetarian options: Veggie St. Paul, veggie lo mein, veggie fried rice, bean curd dishes

Parking: It's in a strip mall so there is usually plenty of parking close by”

“Holly is the absolute BEST bartender EVER!!!!!!! ❤️”

“The fries! Do I need to say more? Those fries are soooooo delicious and they're always hot and fresh. I also really like the brisket burgers. Amazing! Service was great too.”
