“Chef Travis is an amazing cook by far! We went once and he was sold out of the birria tacos, stopped by last night to catch the and ended up getting a special for the bourbon chicken he had. The sauce was so flavorful and the chicken was so tender. He shows us such great hospitality & is an amazing cook. We will continue to support him and his journey as long as we see that big space ship down there! 🤍🤍”
“Service is quick and accurate. They are giving a lot less meat sauce for the spaghetti family pack than before though. It is truly not enough.”
“Just drove from St.Charles MO with my husband and daughter today to get out of the house. Saw reviews for Bluff City Grill, and we decided to stop for lunch. The crab stew was amazingly delicious 😋 I had the stinger salad, and the hand breaded chicken strips on the salad were delicious too. We had buffalo chicken dip, and mozzarella sticks for appetizers-- both super delicious too. I had a glass of the house sangria which was super good too. Excellent service also. Definitely going back next time we're out this way. Highly recommend this restaurant for it's food, service, and atmosphere.”

“My wife and I, our niece and her boyfriend went to Joe K’s for brunch on Saturday, February 14th at 11 am. It’s a popular time so we had a short wait (10 minutes). Our server, Renee, was very friendly and efficient. Food was served quickly and was absolutely delicious.”
“Just WOW!!! We had the Traditional Gumbo and Pork Jambalaya today. FANTASTIC dishes both!!! We fell in love with the food in N.O. years ago and have been searching in IL for something even close. This place hits!!! 🔥🔥🔥 The pork Jambalaya had a pulled pork that was melt in your mouth, perfectly seasoned goodness. And the gumbo....most of the time, I leave the "gravy" because most times its meh. This one was perfect and had just the right amount of heat. Will definitely be back soon!!!”
“Their loaded potatoe soup is more like a loaded mash rather than a soup, although really yummy. I wanted to order a sandwich but noticed the sandwich assembly station from the register and noticed the kitchen staff wearing no gloved making sandwiches. I would fix this just to instill a better idea of cleanliness.
My first time coming the staff were extremely rude and rushed us to order with an empty restaurant. This time was slightly better.”

“As a representative of the Hispanic community of all of St. Louis, I give my stamp of approval to their chorizo burrito. The flavors were wonderful and it had a bit of a spice kick to it (Mexicans love that!) The coffee was delicious! I give it 5 out 5 green cards. 👏🏽”

“Normally, I support your business but you guys are going to make someone sick. I just got a box of chicken that could only eat the outside because, it's not done. I took a bite of a leg and it tasted funny. So, I looked at it and it was red and pink. gross If, I get sick you'll be hearing from me. I'm so disappointed”
“my 4yr old grandson and I go there as often as we can. Great service and great food. Definitely beats McDonald's were he usually wants to go. 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”

“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!”
“Our Valentine's Day experience at White Castle was fun/enjoyable experience. White Castle did a very good job decorating. My wife, son and I ordered a lot of food and it came out fast. It was delicious. I was surprised with how many people actually showed up. The dining room was full.”
“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”

“🐟🥗 Hickory Grove Restaurant out by the mall consistently serves fresh lettuce for salads and Cod that never fails to impress. The restaurant is not stingy with the condiments like so many others are. 👍 Andy, the owner, always tries to please and values his customers.”

“Old Bakery Brewing absolutely delivered. It was super busy because of Eagle Fest, but the service was still fantastic—friendly, efficient, and on top of everything. The food was excellent, and the beer was, as always, great.
I had the birria grilled cheese and it was phenomenal—rich, flavorful, and easily one of the best things I’ve had there. Even with the crowds, the staff handled everything smoothly, which really says a lot.
This place continues to be one of my favorite spots in Alton. Great beer, great food, and great people. Highly recommend.”
“What a great experience. Our server was so great. And the food...... We started off with potstickers and they were spot on. The Caesar salad was very good (but it was a Caesar salad, so not too hard to get right). My tuna was cooked to perfection and had the most amazing seasoning. My wife was crazy about her Grilled Chicken Pasta. There was too much for her to eat, so we took it home and out son raved about how good it was. The warm gooey butter cake for dessert was sinful. We each had a couple adult drinks and they were excellent and pretty potent, definately not watered down. It was quiet and the lighting was, what I would call classy. Not bright, but not dark. We will 100% be coming back.”
“VEGAN specials!!!! I’ve had the vegan specials twice at this incredible establishment. This past week’s Ban Mi Sandwhich was to die for! I went in for brownies but decided to get it as well. Now I just wish I would have bought more! Thanks again for having options for us💗”
“The food was delicious, the service was great!! we had a St. Louis style pizza and a spicy chicken sandwich, highly recommend both!!!”
“My coworkers and I frequently order lunch from here. Our food is fresh and so delicious every time! The workers are always super friendly!”
“I have always ordered on door dash and it’s always amazing but I was able to eat in tonight and boy did it go beyond my expectations! The food is amazing and HOT and FRESH! The staff is so sweet just going the extra mile to make sure your experience there is great. 10/10 will be back!!!”

“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 💎.”

“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...”

“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.”
“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”
“I visited here this morning for our breakfast, and Angie was super kind and compassionate, and went above and beyond to make sure that I chose the best option and was super satisfied. The place was clean and I loved their ceiling. It had me distracted for a minute definitely will be coming back.”
“We were in the mood for Chinese, so we stopped in. Is it pinky out, fancy Chinese? Not even close. It's gotta have it, greasy Chinese. Please don't take that the wrong way. Sometimes you just need some old school Chinese, and they got that. The portions were huge, and the cost wasn't terrible. The highlight, for me, were the fried wontons. The beef and broccoli was flavorful, and the broccoli still had the crunch (no one likes soggy broccoli). The crab rangoon were the sweet style, not my favorite, but decent enough. Of course I'm going to go back.”
