New American Restaurants near Alton, IL

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

“I had a fantastic Tuesday night dinner. They were offering a $30 3 Course Dinner, but I went with the $25 Pepperloin Steak.

Before ordering, I enjoyed a Tito's Extra Dry Martini with a Lemon Twist. The bartenders here are masters of their mixologist skills. Trust me I know, they've made my a lot of cocktails.

Once my entree arrived, I totally impressed with all three items. The asparagus was prepared perfectly. It wasn't too hard and not overly soft. It had just enough snap. The Loaded Baked Potato was the size of a fist, which is a perfect size. It was fluffy and was topped with butter, cheese and bacon. The steak was truly the piece of resistance. It was super tender and they served it a true medium rare. The kitchen truly knocked it out of the park with this meal. I was a happy diner.

Good food and good service will have me returning to Gentelin's, time and time again.“

“Had our first lunch at My Just Desserts today and it was delish!! Turkey Club sandwiches all around our group of four!! Comes with Krunchy chips and French onion dip!! We used our Fox 2 News certificates!! Didn’t have room for dessert but will go in again with more room for pie!!! Very nice staff!!!“

“Staff is very friendly. Live music was great! Enjoyed ourselves!! Was my review 8 years ago... now. Tbh in 2026. I never hear people getting excited half the machines are updated with new games but the line play never wins and the sound doesnt work on a lot of machines. You have to hope that the bonus will even pay back what you've put in the machine. Overall the play experience is not what it was 8 years ago.“

“Great service and great food was pleasantly surprised“

“Cone for lunch specials quite often. Good food and drinks. Staff is always friendly. You can sit at the bar or at a table. Decor could use updating, but they're working on improving that. Great place.“

“Had a great time Saturday night at Chicos Bar & Grill 😎 Special thanks to everyone who came out and to the owners and staff for having us! 💚🙏 They have great food here and the Cajun Catfish Bites were great! 👍💥 We have no further dates scheduled here but hope to return in 2026! 🎶☮️🎸“
