“Highly recommend NickyG’s for all your catering needs. They have the perfect place for bridal and baby showers!! Their Italian Beef on dollar rolls, 5 cheese Mac & Cheese, NickyG’s Salad and chocolate cookies are to die for!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“A gem of a place in Alton. We were visiting again and wouldn’t miss the opportunity to have dinner here. My beef tenderloin was cooked to perfection. Our server was incredible. The place has a rustic charm. You must not miss Chef PK’s exquisite meals.“

“Came in for breakfast this morning. My husband is VERY picky about restaurant food and also isn’t big on breakfast as it is. But when I tell you he just about CLEARED his plate. He ordered the country fried steak and he said it was one of the best he had ever had. Our 3 kids got the Mickey Mouse pancakes and they devoured their food when normally it’s a hassle trying to get them to really eat anything when we eat out. I got the pony shoe and it was what I expected it to be. We got our food quickly, the employees we interacted with were all very nice and welcoming. We will definitely be back here again!“

“the snackers are the best, hands down!“

“I always get the Prime Rib at Castelli’s-it never disappoints! Always cooked perfectly and better cut than any other place I’ve ordered. Girl taking my order was soooo super sweet I wished I had asked her name so I could post what a friendly, professional and thorough job she did taking my order. I ordered it on July 19th at 4:55. Hopefully the owner will see this and pat her on the back lol! I’ve been eating at (Moonlight) Castelli’s restaurant for 50 years and I can honestly say I’ve never had a bad meal or bad service ever!! Now that’s the way to dine?“

“Great food would eat here again I give it 5 stars“

“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“

“Just tried this place for the first time, amd it did not disappoint. Friendly atmosphere and the food was delicious. Must try the potato salad! I was so full, but couldn't stop eating it. Highly recommend.“

“Hands down the best mom and pop food in the Midwest. I'm not kidding. Grab your entire family and get your butt to Joe K's for breakfast.. oh and the service was top notch also.. But the food, omg the food was the best thing I've put in my mouth in a long time.. There were no tables available, the place was packed and the service and food were incredible and right on time. I had the country fried steak covered in white gravy ??. With hash browns... Great.. now I'm hungry again just from thinking about how good the food was..“

“Our dinner club has been going to different restaurants for 20+ years. Bluff City Grill is one of our favorites. Wednesday the group enjoyed a beautiful relaxing dinner at Bluff City Grill. The waitress and manager were outstanding. The food was delicious and enjoyed by all of us. Very Satisfied customers, thank you !“

“We ordered for multiple people from work and the food was bagged and ready to go when we arrived. Everything was so delicious and so very reasonably priced!“

“very good service and friendly people and of course the big potions!“

“Food was generally good. The jaws drink was good. The foxy Cleopatra was not so good. The Bossa fgt BLT was very good. The toasted ravioli were dry. For a Friday night it was very uncrowded. I'd go back but have reservations because a guy walked in with a dog and, although it was leashed, it was jumping all over other seated guests. Restaurants are for eating, not walking your dog. Just IMHO“

“Good food, nice folks, great service!“

“Just door dashed lunch to my office and it was phenomenal. the BYOB - build your own burger was top notch! Best quality burger I've had around the area.“

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

“Had lunch here on Saturday, I have to say that the service and food were excellent! Ordered the turkey club and what a sandwich! Yum! Then had no room for pie so got a slice to go. Caramel Apple pie, it was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend eating here but order dessert FIRST!“

“It is definitely a fun place. Several machines were not working, but I attribute that to everything being fairly new and there will always be kinks to work out.
We think the cheeseburgers were a bit dry. They were just cooked a tad too long. The mushrooms were great and the fried green beans were also very good.“

“Love Fast Eddie’s we always have a great time they have the coldest drinks, great service and food. Go for lunch!“
