“Fun local spot with a great vibe”

“We love to go here for special occasions or to have the best steak I have ever had. We have been several times and have always had great service and the food is always fantastic. Thank you for so many great meals. My uncle Dave Gasper introduced us to your place years ago and we have been going ever since.”

“I love this place!!!I grew up near here. But had traveled to Breese from Edwardsville to pick up some glasses from Clarkson. Placed my order, and apparently you pay when picking up. Found out at the window that they only take cash. They did tell me an ATM was across the street. I never use an ATM and don’t have a pin number So, I counted up all the change in my car and I had six dollars and some change I asked, how much would it be to take off one of the hamburgers and a fry so they said just a minute and came back to The window and saidhow much do you have? It was 12 something and I had six dollars and some change. They said that’s fine. Just go ahead. Very nice people !!! So, next time I come to breese, I will be giving them back their six dollars I owe, and eating here again because the hamburgers are fabulous. Also love the outdoor seating and atmosphe. Takes me back to a simpler time. Thank you you, Wally’s! See ya next time. You must try this place!!”

“They did cake, cupcakes, and cookies for our wedding reception. They did great! Everything was set up nicely and looked good. It tasted even better!”

“We hosted my best friend’s baby shower for twins at Turf Bar & Banquet, and it was perfect. From start to finish, Brandi and her incredible staff went above and beyond to make the day seamless and special. The space is beautiful, the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was truly 10/10. What impressed me most was how @Brandi thought of everything — even details we didn’t think of ourselves. She and her team were always 10 steps ahead, making sure every moment went smoothly so we could simply enjoy the celebration. If you’re looking for a venue where the owner genuinely cares, the staff treats your event like their own, and every detail is handled with care and professionalism, Turf Bar & Banquet is it. Brandi, you made this day unforgettable, and we’re so grateful!”

“i love this cafe, it's such a treat every time. I love their connections to other local businesses too! The price is comparable to a fast food breakfast but a way better value. 🩷 support your local business, you'll find somewhere you love.”

“Found the place on accident and LOVED it. Very friendly and helpful staff. Food was awesome. Large portions and great prices. We will for sure return when we are in IL.”

“Amazing sandwiches and the best chocolate shake!”

“We’ve missed this place. Now a year later and Covid in the rearview mirror it will be one of our visited restaurants. Good and service is always excellent!”

“Great family owned restaurant. The owner waited on us and was fabulous. The food was wonderful. I got the spinach and mushroom scramble. My folks got the cod fish sandwich with onion rings and the veggie omelet. All of us were happy. The establishment was clean even the bathrooms were clean and quaint. Will dine there again one day.”

“First time there and they have a huge menu. Yummmmy”

“Great band good patio area. Fun crowd and fantastic staff”

“food on Easter was great! The music is great too. Love ❤️ the bartenders who are friendly too.”

“Yummy. Had a burrito and it was delicious.”

“It’s just a terrific bar and grill. The flattop grill is so well seasoned, the burgers are delicious. Chili is great but only available in cooler/cold months. Sloppy Joes in warm weather. If you’re nearby, it’s a must-do dining experience.”

“Went to eat there today in Highland and had the Gyro Special and a soda. The portions were fantastic and filling, and I’m not a little eater. I did NOT walk away hungry. Fantastic atmosphere and friendly server/cook. Quick service and very attentive staff. Pricing is VERY fair and great for eaters on a budget. I will be back! Thank you!”

“We had my daughter's birthday party here. It was such a fun and unique experience and very different than other parties we'd held or attended. Every guest got to leave with their very own work of art. All we had to do was show up, and they took care of the rest. Everyone had an amazing time! Highly recommended, especially for birthday parties.”

“I am guessing new kitchen staff. Second week in a row- My to go order tonight was over an hour and 10 minute wait. I was told 35 minutes only to show up and no order slip ever made it to the kitchen. I ordered pollo Jalisco which was correct, steak soft taco - wrong- no cheese or lettuce. Chicken chimichanga- not right either- not shredded chicken. And no beans - I asked for no salad and all I got was rice and salad. This is second week in a row that food from kitchen was cold and not produced in a timely manner. What is happening there?”

“Bartender is great on sundays, pool tables is top notch & music is great here!!! Food is on point. Outdoor seating is everywhere. They also have a automatic piano that plays a sweet tune. I love Millside!!!! Best bar in Germantown!!!”

“Very friendly and courtesy service!!!!”

“Fantastic service, and the food was absolutely delicious! Very reasonably priced! We will definitely be back. 😊”

“Amazing place! Lots of activities along with great bar food! Friendly staff! A must stop!”

“Had the prime rib special tonight. Cooked perfectly and served by the friendly staff. I love this place!”

“I moved to Highland back in July of 2023. Recently got a job in town and recommended by my boss stopped in to Michael’s coffee shop. Had the best experience! Was not rushed she answered all of my questions and even asked if I would try my specialty drink before I left to make sure I liked it! My drink was perfect and their lemon blueberry muffin was delicious! 10/10 recommend this place and will definitely be going back. I wish I would have gotten her name but she gets 100/10 on providing amazing customer service!”

“Awesome stop! We visited and it was amazing! Love the people!”

“Shortys has the best pizza in Clinton County”

“If you're looking for a down-home local dive bar, this is your place. Albert and Melissa are very good people. This tavern has been around for over 100 years so it has a very cool vintage nostalgic aspect to it. The draft beer is cheap and fresh and you're guaranteed to have good conversation every time you go.”

“Very spacious for events, friendly staff. Both upstairs and downstairs. Tuesday's they serve delicious tacos and Sundays are Queen of Hearts Drawings not as big as the half a million jackpot at Aviston Legion. But growing. The first game it went out the first night. So that was a 1000. Now on second game as of Nov 25, 2017. Lounge is nice and the downstairs dining hall is lovely.”

“Highly Recommend for your next catering event! Greatly enjoyed the catering spread at a brunch wedding. The food was delicious and the display was amazing. There were so many delicious options. It was hard to narrow down choices of what to eat.”
