21 Best American Restaurants in Alton

“🐟🥗 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.“

“Great food and great people!!“

“Had a large party with short notice today and they accommodated us with no issues. Josie our waitress was one of the best servers we have had in a long time.“

“Just want to tell ya we've been customers for over 30 yrs and we've noticed a definite improvement in the food as of lately ...“

“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.“

“the snackers are the best, hands down!“

“We really enjoyed our visit here. The food and drinks were really good and well prepared. The service was also impeccable, big shout to Lisa, our bartender! She was great and did an excellent job on the drinks. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area to try the entrées. We had the goat cheese appetizer on our visit. It was delicious!“

“Super friendly staff. my meal very good - will return!“

“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.“

“I went out on a limb hires NickyG’s for a work event. I went directly off of seeing their food post. I would like to say that after talking to everyone at the event they loved the food and the workers. Thank you for making this a great experience!“

“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“

“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 💎.“

“I love this place. We frequent here because of the great drinks and food!“

“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💗“
